greedy_dancer for her very helpful post about prettifying Pinboard prettified :-) I've tweaked with my Pinboard and like the new look of it - as simple as it is.
Speaking of Pinboard, here's an entry written by Maciej (aka Pinboard Dude) that could sum up why so many Fandom people are taken with the guy. I enjoyed the read.
Onto RL news. Today was one hell of a Monday; 6.00PM couldn't come soon enough. I also had the pleasure of queuing for what seemed like an eternity during my lunchbreak, in a hall where it was so hot that it felt like being in Hell, only to be told that, "I'm really sorry but the documents OtherDepartment gave you? Are not the ones we need. Or even want. We can't enroll you at the moment, sorry" Turns out I have to start everything from scratch. I could have strangled someone. When I called OtherDepartment, they told me that "yes, no, everything has been stalled at the moment, did we forget to tell you? But we'll start fixing our mistakes next week. And will keep working on it till mid-November"
At this rate, I'll have access to the on-line courses a week before I'm supposed to hand in the four essays I have to write for the first semester. This is beyond ridiculous. I shouldn't be surprised, I know how it works - or not as the case may be - but there you go *sigh*
Anyway, onto less annoying things. Weekend shaped up to be lovely with a great Bday Party on Saturday evening and family time on Sunday. Then in the evening we started catching up on our TV. Doctor Who and Merlin were both watched (everything else has been downloaded). I loved DW, unsurprisingly, and really got into Merlin - it was an intense series premiere and I can't wait to see the rest ♥

Me either, but if Arthur doesn't find out about Merlin in this series, I will cry, I'm just saying!

Yes, yes, Arthur has to find out sometime this series, seriously! And, honestly, even if they don't want Arthur to know for good, they just can have him forget everthing by the end of the episode, that kind of plot isn't exactly unheard of, right?
