LJ hasn't loaded for me all day, and now I'm fed up and very lonely and bored. With LJ, I have stuff to do and people to talk to. Without it? The internet is all but pointless, and I can't talk to anyone. I can amuse myself for about ten minutes or so and then I need to go away and sigh again and maybe dust something or lie down.

In the meantime, since LJ is apparently working for everybody else in the world except me, this should crosspost so you know why I'm ignoring you until LJ lets me back in. (It came back very briefly twice during the day, so I'm hopeful it will. But I can't report anything because I can't get in to report it.)

:-(

I am now going off to make sugarless scones (it's a thing I do), and try not to panic about it. I have a book. It doesn't seem to be giving me too much of a headache yet, so hey. There's that, I suppose. And I can write a bit maybe if I don't get too depressed about having nowhere to post it ever again. Luckily, my family phoned for five minutes just now before I died of isolation. (Can you do that in only one day? Probably not.)

Also also the doctor's mislabelled my blood test on Thursday and I have to go and give them some more on Monday. (I can't complain; they've never done anything like this before. But i would rather not have my two big outings for the week both being things where people stick needles in me.)

(I may be feeling sorry for myself now. This is what happens when people cruelly take LJ away from me.)

Oh, no! So sorry to hear it! Let me know if there's anything I can do to keep you entertained.

*resist the temptation to make unreasonable/silly requests* Talking to me is nice. That'll do. Thank you!! ♥

Oh, and I've been meaning to post this to unkindestslash, which I certainly can't at the moment. You've probably seen it already, but the other day on YouTUbe, this randomly turned up when I was looking for something else:

BBC 1969 Julius Caesar (Maybe in the absence of LJ I can try and watch it, though I'm not good at watching long things online. I watched a minute and it already had Christopher Benjamin in, aww.)

Ooh, I will definitely watch that JC! I thought I'd seen every 20th c production available! I've seen the 1950, 1953, 1970 (argh, Jason Robards WHY), and, of course, 1979, but I haven't seen this. Thank you so much for this!

Oh, cool! I hadn't seen it around before, but some of those anthology plays are beginning to be released. And the info says it has Edward Woodward and Robert Stephens, which sounds pretty promising. :-)

(Btw, the BBC seems to be planning for 2016 to make all its surviving Shakespeare content available on the web; I don't know what the deal will be as to who can access it & how freely, but it could well include other one-off anthology plays like this, as well as radio - and there were definitely a few other Julius Caesars that the Radio Times archive showed had been made. Presumably any existing would be in the collection, whereas individual DVD releases wouldn't be worth their while. Could be very interesting!)

And I must post this to unkindestslash now, then, mustn't I?
