YAY!!! That's so awesome! Mainly because I'm the kiss of death when it comes to shows. If I like them then it's usually automatic cancellation. Well done Supernatural, you've survived my curse for another year! What a scrappy little show you are!

In other Supernatural related news, I lost my will power and watched the sneak peak preview clip for episode 7.21 that's on this weekend.

It's the local elections in the UK today, and while voting may feel as useful as a penguin in a tin can, I strongly urge everyone who is eligable to vote to do it, if they haven't already.

Yeah it's about picking the person/party who is only slightly less of an arse than the rest of the field, but it doesn't take long and it means everyone has their say.

And because I never need much of an excuse, here's some of the awesome The West Wing...

First off, I know it's a long shot, but if anyone from Virgin Media is on my flist, can you please stop addressing letters to deceased people in my family and sending them to my mother's house. I don't know where we go where we die, that's a conversation for another time, but I'm pretty darn sure we don't need TiVo there. It upsets my mum, which upsets me, so....stop it. Apparently telling you directly didn't stop you, so I'm trying through the medium of Livejournal. Next I'm going to make a Richard Branson voodoo doll out of some ice lolly sticks, ok, so just stop.

Secondly, I know it's a long shot, but if any of the bigwigs at Morrisons are on my flist, your alcohol policy sucks. I'm 28 years old, I'm shopping with my mother who is over 60, really initiative needs to be taken here to assume that we should be able to buy a bottle of wine without being asked for I.D. I would understand it if it was just me, because I do look really young for my age, but surely if one person is very much over the age limit, that should be enough. I don't look any younger than 18 certainly. I'm all for cutting down on under aged people buying alcohol, but there is a limit. It is pretty ridiculous if you can't even buy alcohol if you have I.D, but have someone who may look under 25 with you. I don't drive, so only have my passport as I.D and I'm not taking that to piggin Morrison's with me. I don't blame the cashier's too much, because I know they have to stick to the policy or get in trouble, but the company needs a good slap.

Perhaps if Morrison's really wanted to discourage under aged drinking, they would do the same as they do with cigarettes and hide the alcohol away from sight. The bottle of wine we bought was in the first aisle of the shop, it was on special offer and in a huge display. It was also advertised in a tv commercial I think, for the supermarket. I don't know if other supermarkets have the same policy. It's never happened before at any other shops, but they may do. However it seems that their policy clashes with their marketing and ends up looking hypocritcial.

Ok rant over ;) Sorry about that. I'm going to calm down this evening with a glass of legally purchased wine and catch up on tv with my non-Virgin recording box.

(*Yeah, sorry, the rant wasn't as exciting as the title suggested.)

This video won't make a whole lot of sense if you didn't see the last Glee episode, but it is beautifully hilarious.

It's a holiday, the sun is out and shining and my fridge and cupboards are stocked with awesome food substances.

All is most definitely not right with the world, but I'm gonna ignore that for it bit, go out for a nice walk in the sun, settle down to watch bad bank holiday movies and stuff my face with as much food as I can eat and let everything be ok for a bit.

Good Afternoon!

I'm going to be doing a little book recommendation today, as well as a recipe recommendation and a little Supernatural 7x17 reviewey thing,

'Cause, you know...those three things all go together.

This morning, much to my astounding shock, I got a letter saying I'm going to get a tax refund....for the year 2006/2007.

At the time I'd been down to the tax office, phoned them up, complained, begged and screamed because I was absolutely certain that I'd paid too much tax. I eventually dropped it, because you get disheartened after a while and start to doubt whether you are right.

Now, a short 5 years later, I've finally got a letter saying that they owe me for that year and will be sending me a cheque. I'm not actually going to believe it till the cheque drops through my door, which at their current work rate should be sometime around 2017.

It'll be lovely if I do get the money though. Things like that never happen to me. I'm keeping a cynical frown on my face until I see the colour of their money though.
