Well, wouldn't you know it, I threw up AGAIN. Note to self: don't eat biscuits with raspberry-rhubarb jam EVER AGAIN!
But hot showers are nice, and now I'm going to get my relations addicted to Doctor Who because
Torchwood is coming to BBC America this Saturday!
I missed most of the Doctor Who marathon on BBC America today because I held a yard sale that went ok but could have raked in a bit more cash ... but it was ok ... I scrounged a bunch of funny books by gay comedians from the boxes and a copy of Wuthering Heights so it was ok ...
But now I feel all queesy ... ergh!
I also had a conversation today that's probably been hosted a million times before - The Cookies To Biscuits To Crumpets To Muffins Conversation.
I think I figured it out .... I hope ....

I'm better now ... but thank you!
Yes, biscuit = cookies, but it's a long discussion that goes down the 'what do they call OUR biscuits?' and such ...

I'm not sure they HAVE muffins ... they're GOT TO, though, right? Who doesn't have muffins ...

argghhh..the English are freaks..
*giggles* I actually quite like the English on the whole. Their swear words are the coolest in the world ...

biscuit n cookie. Nothing like an American biscuit, which is a soft, flakey savoury pastry eaten with gravy or butter.
crumpet n. 1. A small teacake. A contributor tells me that they are made of pancake batter, but with raising agents added so that you get all the holes in them. Someone else tells me they're baked on a griddle. I've no idea what a griddle is.

a griddle is like a hot flat frying pan..it's usually long and square and flat..

No, no I DO know what a griddle is! The person whose definition I coppied doesn't ... I certainly know what a griddle is ... *shakes head* But it was a nice explanation!

Awwww *hugs* I'm sorry you're sick. DX

and now I'm going to get my relations addicted to Doctor Who OMG that's what I'm doing! XD I'm (slowly) getting Doctor Who via Netflix, and I just watched the episode(s) with Creepy Gasmask Kid, and now I'm trying to convince my family to watch it with me (because Jack is the best character ever! (except maybe the Doctor))

They wouldn't watch Heroes with me :( but they seem to like Doctor Who...

I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you! I'm feeling better now, but throwing up twice in a rather short amount of time isn't all that fun ...

I saw that on BBC America a while ago - saw most of the Season 1 eps but now I'm watching them ALL in ORDER with my RELATIONS. Last night one fell asleep. I'm not kidding! During the first ep where there are all those explosions! *rolls eyes* The other relation laughed at the living-plastic face and called it 'sourdough taking over the world' which is funny but not. *sigh* And Captain Jack is ... well, I just ADORE HIM. TORCHWOOD IS COMING! *dances* I love Nine and all, but for different reasons than I love Jack.

They're odd ... but ZQ is very hot so I like the eyebrows!

Lol He is icky and homophobic, and it's really irritating. You have permission to skewer him with a katana XP.

Thank you! I'm better now! Just a random thing ... something I ate, or somebody from the yard sale, or nothing at all ... *shrugs*
