Tomb Raider "Commentary" is Live

For those of you who wanted to hear it, mine and James' very sweary "commentary" on Tomb Raider is up on my Jennie Reads Stuff tumblr. It basically consists of him trying in vain to teach me how to play the bloody game, and me making lots of noises of frustration.

There's also been some buggering about with my sidebar and profile on this blog of late, so they might be worth a second look if you feel like it.

Drama Queening

Today is a low day. Spent the morning on the phone to various benefit agencies and now feel like a dirty rotten scrounger and detest myself for not being able to stand on my own two feet.

What's happening in Belarus is disgusting, but our media are more bothered by the snow. This makes me sad.

Holly has pierced my heart - we were having a snuggle and a chat and she said I cry sometimes when I want you and you're not here - and I just felt so guilty and inadequte.

And the pain is bad today too.

My friend is going to go and pick up my sick pay for me later, and then I shall go in to the post office to pay it in and post some things. But until then, I think hiding under the duvet with a doggy hot water bottle is the best option.
