Having finally got my hair cut for the first time this year, I now have Kowalski-style experimental hair (though mine appears to be currently significantly shorter than his).

I'm also currently breaking in a new pair of DM boots. Owww. And these are the 939's, which have the padded collar and are therefore less killing to the ankles than the traditional 8-hole boot. I've been told by a number of people that when you have a baby, you forget afterwards just how much it hurts, otherwise you wouldn't have any more - this definitely applies to the breaking in of DM's... ;)

Other than that, this weekend I have to get my WWW story finished, or else. It's almost done, so I feel fairly confident that it'll be okay. I'd already started on a Daniel/Teal'c story which should nicely fit the request I've had from tealc_ficathon so I expect that ought to be done quite soon too.

And, after the relative disappointment of House of Flying Daggers, I feel I should say good things about Seven Swords, which I watched earlier this week. I was totally hooked, from early on, and I really hope that the promised sequel(s?) is going to be made. Both Donnie Yen and Leon Lai were fantastic in it, the swordplay was excellent and the ubervillain (Sun Hong-Lei) only really needed a moustache to twirl to have been utterly perfect. A great movie, beautifully shot, with engaging performances all round.

The baby thing? Seriously a myth, I gave birth twice, nearly 13 and 9 years ago and I can easily get in touch with that pain and remember every single excruciating moment of it. Yes it's worth it, but forgettable? Oh Dear God, NEVER!!!!!!!!

Well, I'd always been sceptical but that's what I'd been told by more than one person. Clearly you didn't get the good drugs! :P

LOL! First time round I had pethidine, bloody marvellous, it was like an intravenous shot of a bottle of whisky, I was high as a kite. Told the midwife to shut the door because there were Germans wearing hats in the corridor, asked Peter to go and buy stamps from the Post Office and tried to give the midwife one of Peter's ferrets, LOL. Awesome stuff *g*.

Next time round, too quick for any drugs, did it with a few puffs of gas and air, and OMG! never, ever again, horrifically painful.

Go with the drugs any time! Pethidine and Morphine are two of my best friends :-)
