"So, when do we go on this little magical mystery tour?"

This has been a busy week, what with one thing and another. It isn't going to get any less busy, either. Tomorrow I have to get up at the crack of dawn in order to get into town to catch the megabus to London at 7.30am. I'm going to see the Terracotta Army at the British Museum with my family. It was originally going to be just me and Mum - we always try to have a day out together every year, just the two of us. We usually take in a flower show - it was Hampton Court Palace last year - but this year we decided on the Terracotta Army, while the exhibition is on this side of the globe. But then the rest of the family jumped on the bandwagon, so suddenly our mother-daughter outing has become a day for the entire family! It's going to be a long day. To catch the bus at 7.30, I'll have to leave by 6.50am. We probably won't get back into Cardiff until gone 11pm. But it should be a really great day.

Must remember to set up the DV-R for Ashes to Ashes.

Luckily I've taken the day off on Friday, as well. I've got a man coming to scrap my car - that old bomb my sister gave me two years ago that turned out to be about three times the size of the one I was learning to drive in and scared me too much to attempt to move ever. It's just been sitting there gathering rust ever since, so now I'm getting rid of it.

Man, the recap for this week's Supernatural really hated me. It did not want to be written, at all. I suspect my general business with work and job hunting and family commitments and whatnot had something to do with this. Plus stress, of course. It still managed to hit 30 pages, though! I'm not entirely happy with it - it could do with some polishing, still, but I don't have time before the next episode. I just couldn't seem to express myself properly this week. So I hope what I've written makes sense!

The episode header was made using caps by [livejournal.com profile] marishna. There aren't any illustrative graphics again this week - I just don't have time to sit and make them at the moment. Maybe some other time I'll come back and edit them in.

Honestly I'm not completely convinced the writers knew what they were doing on that one. Maybe time and episodes will tell!

BTW, I know you get your SPN off torrents, but the community [livejournal.com profile] dean_sam has like 3 different posts with direct download links! (I usually use torrents too, but with my weird connection thing lately I decided to use those instead, and it was pretty fast!)

Cheers for the heads up. I usually go with the torrent, if it's up nice and early, but there are a couple of other places I know I can go for more direct links, failing that - always good to know of more just in case!

For like 2 days afterward there's always new download links for new episodes. People miss it or like me just like to have it in case I want to watch again. So if you're having issues or whatever, there ya go!

PS - did you know there's HQ versions?? A regular download of SPN is around 350 MB but the HQ version is over 1 GB!

I've seen the HQ versions, yeah, and dl'd one or two, but not as a general rule because they're so huge and I only have so much space on my harddrive! Gorgeous to have, though.

Me, I await the DVD release with great anticipation...
