I'd like my head back, please
I can't sleep. :-( This is because I can't breathe properly, what with my sinuses having been cemented in. This will teach me to brag about not having caught the collective Sydney cold. I'd say something deep and sentimental about how even in big impersonal cities some things are communal (seriously, everyone has had this cold), but it's hard to sentence properly when you're oxygen-deprived.
Which is why this isn't my proper Deathly Hallows post. I'm sure I have some important things to say, but I can't think what they are.
Anyway, Discord and I saw Transformers yesterday. I insisted we drag our sickly selves out to see it before it stops showing (you can't watch stuff like Transformers on TV; it loses some of its big ridiculous impact), because that movie has been one of Discord's top ten topics of conversation for the last 18 months and I would be damned if he missed his fanboy moment. He didn't like it, for the record. Which is fair enough - it was a big departure from the original material (they tossed out pretty much everything except the transforming noise, the cheesy we've-all-learned-a-valuable-lesson dialogue, and Optimus Prime being a truck) and he felt the story concentrated far too much on the humans. I feel bad for him, but at least he can empathise with my frequent rants about movies fucking with established canon. As for me, I was there to watch giant robots fight, so I got my money's worth.
God, I feel like crap. I'm going to try sleeping again. If anyone feels like cheering me up (and filling my day tomorrow - there's no way I'll make it to work, I'd have to get up in 4 hours), they can tell me where all the good Top Gear slash is hidden...? Oh, don't look at me like that, Jeremy/Richard is win.
