Official stuff first. Like I said last night, I've changed ISPs from BT to Sky. That means I'll be losing my bt email addy. It's still working now, but for how long I don't know. Considering BT turned off my internet 1 minute into the day it was to be disconnected I'm surprised it's still active at all. Anyway. I do have a sky address, which is turps33@sky.com, however I haven't linked that to my Outlook Express yet, so if you want to get in touch the best email is my turps33@gmail one.

Now that's over with I can express my woe. The first episode of Mission Manband is up on VH1 and I can't see it! I HAVE WOE! Who wants to take me in so I can watch in a non blocked country?

There is CHRIS! Chris I can't see. However, I've been getting a contact high from vaudevilles squee and I also have faith in fandom that they'll deliver a download before I go away.

Being offline totally is weird. I watched a lot of tv, both on my computer and the actual tv. But I missed so much. Seeing what you all were up to, and things like checking cinema listings or getting a phone number. I watched a season ender of CSI New York and needed to know what happened, and I couldn't! I mean, how do non online people cope with waiting between shows? I did sort out my media files, deleting a lot of dupes and learned how to burn DVDs that work in my player. That was a fine moment I tell you.

But man, Sky has the worst connection programme ever. It's great if you're a total newbie at connecting your broadband, but really. After I'd seen the animation of a plug being plugged into the wall for the 89878020 time, well I was ready to throw the disc out of the window.

Other than that, nothing important happened. I developed my crush on Emmanuel from Dance X and sorted things out for going away. What I should have done was write my Bassez day story, but no. That would have been too sensible. I don't know if I mentioned I'd joined that, but I have. I was craving a challenge. Someone could have said 'hey, lets have a Sparkly boys in pink panties challenge' and I'd be waving my hand in the air going me! I'll join!

Last. Landro. Landro. I usually like the pairing names, that one makes me twitch. I have no idea why.

I don't get VH1 up here either, so we're in it together.

Yes, yes! I mean, there's the obvious with the no checking the flist and no reading slash but there's also all the things we look up on the internet without even thinking about it. When I was in between Charlie-Clark and Dean, my first reflex was always to check things out on-line, except I couldn't.

We really get used to it, a bit too much, maybe...

I think we SHOULD have a pink panties challenge! Sounds like a fab idea to me :)

I watched the first Manband episode last night. I can't wait for everyone to see it so we can DISCUSS. Chris. OH CHRIS. I want to give him hugs. And I actually think I might like the other guys okay. Well, Abrahams kind of annoys me, but the rest of them! I was worried I'd hate them, but I don't. Chris makes the show awesome, though. CHRIS.

Exactly! I mean, I was resigned to no surfing. As much as I love reading fic, downloading etc I could cope without it. For a few days anyway. But there's so much I use the internet for on a day to day basis. We didn't even have a telephone directory in the house because we always use the online version.

It felt wrong and weird.

If you add a Matt(hew) into the mix, they'd be called Landro-mat, and have a fetish for clean sheets.

Welcome back!

The pink panties idea makes me boggle, yet I'd still read!

I've just got a download for the Manband ep, so I'm sitting willing the download to go faster. Funny thing, all my glares doesn't make it speed it up.

I need Chris!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahaha.

Okay, that makes everything much better!

Thank you :)

YAY!!! Also, Chris has a nice house. Like, not disgustingly big or crazy like Joey's house, just NICE.

[toeprint.livejournal.com]

Or rugged Vernon would make the threesome Landrover. /me is lame.

I refuse to use pairing names for Lance and his current boyfriend! All those boys are just temporary stopgaps until he can finally gather his courage and get together with the man of his dreams, Chris/Nick/AJ/Howie! *adjusts tinhat*

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Eeeeep!! How on earth did I manage to forget Kevin!?!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Looks like Lance is going to be busy *g*

But yeah, I think that's why the Lance pairing names seem a little weird. I think he's just out there having fun and there's no permanency about these guys. While a pairing name seems solid.

It makes sense to me anyway.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I don't know! Kevin must never be forgotten!

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

While a pairing name seems solid.

Exactly! In my world pairing names get created because the community needs a nickname for something that's talked and/or written about a lot.

Not having the Internet sucks!

[canadiandreamr.livejournal.com]

I'm going to check around some torrent sites and see if I can find it to download it.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It does! There's so much I wanted to do when I couldn't.

[frausorge]

I feel your pain, sister! My sad creaky old connection is too slow to get the downloads so I haven't seen Manband yet either. But I guess I shouldn't ought to complain since it will eventually turn up on my TV. oh CHRIS!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That's to cry! I finally got my download, but not after a lot of gnashing of teeth.

But yes! Chris on tv!

Good to see you back online!

You know I'd read those pink panties stories.

*stabs Landro people*
