The Chancellor announced the Budget, yesterday; coincidentally, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hathy_col and I found ourselves in a pub in the early evening and reached the not-unreasonable conclusion that really, we ought to take the opportunity to drink cider at the day's prices.
Which wouldn't have been so bad, had we not also got through most of two bottles of wine. Today mostly I have been having, inexplicably, the worst hangover of my life - I don't mean that it's inexplicable that I drank a lot of wine and cider and now I have a hangover, I mean I have behaved much worse in the past and not suffered with quite such inside-of-head toxicity - and am emerging into the cold blue daylight feeling rather delicate. It was worth it, though. We meant to watch Deep Space Nine and instead just sat up talking about life and work and dating Scottish boys and how much we love Kate Mulgrew. And watched this, courtesy oftau_sigma and giggled a lot.
Amidst my delicacy, I am trying to sign up for Remix. ( and it's very difficult! Why do I write so much rubbish? )
Today has also been notable for a lot of interesting articles drifting by on the flist.
-Republican senators refuse to work late, citing obscure Senate procedural rule. I kind of love this. It's so transparently throwing their toys out of the pram (viaspeccygeekgrrl and gwynnega).
-A lack of class in the GOP. This is a really good article.
-The Tory party have done something that would be hilarious if it weren't so unhilarious.
-In better news, Constance McMillen has had the last laugh even if she doesn't get a prom.
And a quick handful of recs:
Thursday's Child bythistlerose
Star Trek, gen. Spock, McCoy and a baaaaaaaby. So adorable.
Force of Habit bytaraljc.
Star Trek, gen. McCoy and his ex-wife, Jocelyn, and Joanna. Really nice, this, with good voices.
Relatives and Relativity, byyahtzee63.
Doctor Who/Sense and Sensibility. Such fun. I haven't got anywhere near to finishing it yet, but such a great idea for a crossover, and so far really wonderfully executed.
That's it. Bedtime, then tomorrow the Grand Adventure Up North begins.
