growling at the edges

Falling over when roller blading stings, and i am not talking physically here. The mortification lasted a whole morning, despite my being able to sheepishly laugh it off at the time. I had convinced myself that skating to work when i am not the best skater ever is a good lesson in humility, but i think i've had enough now. No, honestly. Felled by a lamp-post, that's really quite humiliating enough for me.

But hurt pride aside, i shall persevere! I shall continue to throw myself recklessly about in public, headphones securely in and music blotting out the grotesque population of Exmouth as i career down the knobbly streets (there are goddamned blind-crossings everywhere) and grin stupidly every time i have to cartwheel my arms to stay upright. Meanwhile, after work, in my significantly quieter street, i shall practice jumping, going backwards, and parallel crossovers (sounds a bit like some kind of delicious pastry).

Bruised as i have been, it's been a good week for whump tv this week, and i've been spoiled by several shows recently.

junkfoodmonkey sent me Sharpe videos a-plenty, in which Sean Bean's character was shot, captured, beaten, knifed, hung, stripped of rank, accused of murder, and his wife was killed - all while the lovely Irish Harper continued to coddle him and be big, meaty and cute. Can't get better than that little lot really. Then there was Grave Danger, the chilling finale ep of this CSI season that i managed to get from blessed LimeWire. It was an excellent whumper, and the actor that plays Nick constantly impresses me with his stunning acting skills. His distress was palpable, i'm so glad they chose him for this episode. Lastly there was The Mummy Returns, in which the gorgeous Oded got a little bashed about in a london-bus, and when asked if he was okay he answered with a sweet smile, "this.. was my first bus ride." A.dor.ab.le.

Now, because we went swimming in the ocean yesterday and my mums wedding ring fell off, me and dad are going down to the beach with a borrowed metal detector to unearth the treasure of the West Country, oohARGH!mehearties. Then i shall return and roll around gleefully in the pile of dvds that just arrived from Amazon, including Moonlighting (featuring a much yummy Bruce Willis), Demon Under Glass (featuring a much yummy Garrett Maggart) and Tremors (featuring a much yummy..er.. not featuring anyone much yummy, but coming highly recommended by my

Sleep tonight? I laugh in the face of sleep. ::spits::
