Morrrrnin'

Violet here; dropping in.
I thought it was time to make some form of appearance on this blog - and there is clearly no better time than 1am on a Thursday night/Friday morning.

I guess I should mention how we had to move house or something like that... But yeah. More pressing issues: we finished watching Merlin tonight - having gone through all four seasons in probably under two months. Possibly less than that in fact - we're pretty busy, and time is so wibbly-wobbly it's hard to keep track.
Along with this, I personally am about to finish the 7th and most recent season of How I Met Your Mother - really this is too much TV mourning for me to do all in one night, I don't know how I'll cope.

Regardless, point was going to be I find it impressive how we the three of us manage to lead pretty damn hectic and full lives, but can finish four seasons of Merlin in a short amount of time.
Some people run marathons and climb mountains and discover Higgs Boson particles to prove anything's possible. We watch Merlin; and let it be known I would so never have it any other way.

This does, however, lead to the ever complicated task of finding a new series to start watching while we wait for the dozen we already do watch religiously to come off hiatus.. It's quite a challenge, all this. People think being a fan of various TV shows is so easy... alas; if only they realised our pains.

Anyway, that's my update from the family of fandom. (C'mon, it's winter. What else are we meant to do but watch TV? Ski? Actually...)
Night night~

I love my family because....

Things went a little tense last night - it was the big ISP swap from Orcon to Vodafone.  We needed to double our download or go bankrupt so the only option was to face the spaghetti box (otherwise known as the hub - where all the wire things stick out from all the port thingies).  Trouble is I didn't set it up - and I like knowing how things work, so this particular area of my home has been testing my OCD tendencies (ok so I have more than 'tendencies' but let's not get into that now!)

"Not a problem" thinks positive me, "just unplug the old router and replicate it in the new one". "Don't be so stupid" retorts negative me, "you know it won't work, it will be a major hassle, you'll end up feeling tense and having to ring for help".

I plug, I pray - the right screen pops up - nothing!  "Argh" says neg me, "told you so"......"No" pos me fights back "You can do this"............so a fair amount of swearing and beating of fists ensues; spaghetti strewn in slaughtered coils on the floor, scissors in hand (whose idea was it to put so many cable ties around these things?) Violet and Dash on hand for advice, to hold laptops, fetch cutting implements, put the washing on (well I still had housework to do and it was getting late) and basically to lend support as they always do.

"Ohhhh swallow your pride and make the call" says me, so I do, it works - I now know I am doing everything right, followed the correct steps, and it's STILL not working.  So what's a girl to do but try using her brain and the bit of knowledge she has - miracles, praying and screwing up of the face -and it works.

So what do the Incredibles do then?  Why we sit down and figure out a suitably sci-fi geeky name to call our wifi.......yep, that's us :D.....catastrophe avoided, internet back on, relief *sigh*

What it's all about

This is about us - it's an online record of what we do, how we think, what our hopes are and the laughs we share.  It's about the thoughts that are sometimes best written about and the pictures that just have to be recalled. 

It is a record for the day when the tardis really does appear in the reserve next door and out steps the Doctor (oh please make it David Tennant - but really I will take any one of them!).

When we finally receive our owls to say we can go to Hogwarts and they are terribly sorry they are late (in my case - particularly late).

Because we are magical - we know it, so it's about time we remembered it :D
