The perverseness of fate

[donnaimmaculata]

So I'm downloading various old TV series *cough* 21 Jump Street *cough* Remington Steele, right? It takes days to download one episode, which is fine. That's what I expect.

But why in the name of everything holy is the download process regularly completed on a Sunday night?! Which is the night of the week when I really, really have to work because of a regularly occuring Monday deadline?! And when I have absolutely no time to waste?! WHY? *cries*

Just one second, Mr Steele, I'll be right there with you!

ETA: Oh dear God, it's the first episode of the first season! The one I've never seen before! *squees*

Deadline? Which deadline?

wheeee! I loved Remington Steele *eg* - you're right, some things have to obey the 'piority' rule lol

So did I! And so did my Mum. (She still fancies Pierce Brosnan *g*) His delightful banter with Miss Holt *swoons* I never understood how she could insist on keeping their relationship purely professional.

my mom too *giggles*
because it was post 70s and women weren't supposed to fall for attractive men but instead focus on their careers?

Did you ever see the episode where he pictures himself and Laura in the future, and they're married and have children?

All right, I get the theory, but how she managed to not physically throw herself at him, I'll never understand. She didn't have one single hormone in her body, that's the only possible explanation!

That episode doesn't sound familiar. I don't think I know the very early ones and the final ones. I've watched those in between a hundred times, though, whenever they were re-run *g*

oooooh, that... *giggles* maybe she's gay *g*

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Heh! She probably is! The male profession, the affinity for masculine clothing, the fact that she's always stopped his attempts to carry the (too few!) kisses further... But it was all before gay pride had started taking effects, so she didn't dare come out. Oh, the tragedy! Yay! Remington is free

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

Remington! Free! Hurray! *giggles* Poor Laura, unable to come out of the closet...

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

And poor Remington, cherishing hopes for a future with Laura. Oh, he will be in need for comfort!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

And thank heavens you'll be here to provide said comfort - having dropped all your chores for him! Congratulations, dear, and watch out for your jewelery *giggles*

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Luckily, I don't wear any jewelery. *thinks* Did I said 'luckily'? *puts on jewelery to attract devilishly handsome gentleman-thieves*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

Well no, it's lucky actually - he's see your naked neck/earlobes/fingers and go steal nice things for you to wear - pur-fect!

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

That's even better. That's an indication of true devotion. You're so clever!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

Let's just say I've been watching too many movies lol

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you adapt what you see. That's Teh Smart!

OMG, your ICON! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

That could easily describe my weekend. At any given point.

Erm...except substitute "read 245 downloaded fics" for the solitaire.

[donnaimmaculata.livejournal.com]

Yes, I stocked up my icon portfolio. This one seemed particularly appropriate. It describes roughly six of seven nights of my week. (The seventh night is the 'night out', on which I regularly accomplish the objective, i.e. getting completely wasted.)

Pathetic? Why, yes.
