thisbluespiritWell, I still don't have LiveJournal, but I achieved soup, which is something. For various reasons, I can't be particularly productive on the pc just now, so lack of LJ continues to be a pain. In the meantime, I played with random generators (because what else do you do?) and got this:
250) His Counterfeit Condesa by Joanna Fulford
The Major and the wild English lion
Major the Ninth Doctor does not approve of Wellington sending a man on a perilous mission across French-occupied Spain, but he can see that Mr Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart is no ordinary fellow! The marriage-shy major and the English lion must pose as the Conde and Condesa de Ordoñez, travelling to a high society ball, and soon Nine doesn't know what is more dangerous — the menacing shadow of French patrols, or the sensual torment of sharing a room with this tantalising charmer…
Which is kind of priceless, I have to say. I think that may win the random generators contest for today. (Can you see the Brigadier's face?)
And then I looked at the contents of the Royal Exchange Theatre tag on Tumblr, and it really is rather cool. (I am still curious about how a round theatre like that actually works, but it is obviously cool, look, so I can feel happy about how obviously I like the best people, even if nobody else has heard of them. Well, until I go on about them till everybody goes zzzzzzzzzzz...)
And, er, well, yes. Then I made a post? Hopefully productiveness will be a thing later, and maybe tomorrow LJ will come back to me and there will be joy in the world and all that. It's all right today, though. Yesterday I had my thing where I get very panicked and upset when any of the things I can still do reliably gets taken away from me. I'm very fortunate in many, many ways, but that's a thing that happens for obvious reasons.
There might be posts like this every day, sorry. A person has to do something and I already made soup and sugarless scones and that's kind of exhausted the immediate cooking options. I read too much of my book yesterday, so I mustn't read any more today. I may be driven to go and watch that other thing I obtained with James Maxwell in, if tomorrow I have blood tests and still no LJ.
ETA: Also watched this vid. It's very cheering:

Date: 5 Jul 2015 05:33 pm (UTC)*hugs* I have a similiar burst of horror when stuff gets taken away from me. It's horrid and awful but you will be okay. Promise. Should we start linking to random stuff you might like to read? (usually my way of coping with a lack of LJ ...)

Date: 5 Jul 2015 05:48 pm (UTC)I mean to get well enough to go one day. I watched the BBC's 1972 Shadow of the Tower and got v intrigued by James Maxwell, who was one of the founding artistic directors and I was intrigued by him, the theatre, and puzzled as to why he was supposed to haunt it. (He died at 66, sadly). Trying to find out more has been really interesting and also made me v keen on everything I know about the Royal Exchange, even if I have never been there. And the ghost story seems to genuinely be that the Company didn't want him not to be there, which is a very odd but sweet tribute to a person! He must have been all right. :-)
*hugs back* I am okay today! But, yeah. It's not nice.

Thanks, though. It would be lovely if I could get it back by any means!

Log back in; I just pressed the wrong button! I meant to press enter." I am sure no one would be madly annoyed with me and I wouldn't have massed up important gov't/financial/top secret things. *shift eyes*)

Date: 5 Jul 2015 07:33 pm (UTC)And thanks! I'm a little reassured, because I hear I'm not the only one, so hopefully it will soon and then I can stop complaining at you all!

Date: 5 Jul 2015 07:42 pm (UTC)Depending who draws the short straw, I can quite see Nine turning up in his usual leather jacket and announcing that he's the Condesa de Ordoñez, and he's got psychic paper to prove it.

That's why I was being happy about the Royal Exchange, too. A small group of friends/colleagues got together and worked for 26 years and made it happen and it's still a shiny thing in the world. It's nice to know that people do good stuff as well. ♥
