*ahem*

Dear British third of my flist,

QUIT TORTURING ME WITH YOUR SQUEE OVER HOW AWESOME THE NEW DOCTOR WHO EPISODE IS AND HOW AWESOME MATT SMITH IS AND HOW GENERALLY THRILLED YOU ARE.

Because my internet is slower than Christmas right now, and even though I already started downloading it, I'm not going to be able to watch it till tomorrow afternoon/evening, and I feel so left out! I am crying like Kelso in my moodtheme!

*sob*

I love y'all anyway,

Me

Aw, your mood is making me sniffly. No sadness, no.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-04 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yes sadness! All is sadness right now! All is sadness and no Doctor for Lauren!

STUPID INTERNET! *kicks it*

I've been downloading for two hours now, and I have 31% of one file downloaded. THERE ARE THREE FILES TO DOWNLOAD AFTER THAT.

I'm seriously planning to set my alarm to go off in the middle of the night so that I can get up and start another file dl.

What in the flying spuffy penguins are you downloading? 3 files? Why not one 700 mb file from megaupload. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CQ1UEX1Y

If your not on 56kb internet connection then you'll download the whole thing in 30 minutes tops. If it is your internet connection being an a**hole. Then it won't matter what you download it will take forever and a half anyways.

I'm doing it via mediafire because it's been working a lot better than megaupload recently for me.

There's no way it'll download in thirty minutes. Two weeks ago it would have. Now...it's going to take forever and a half anyways. But thank you!

Ah! Sucks when the internet pulls the rug out from under your feet. Good luck on getting Doctor Who. I promise it will be worth it! Or at least I hope so. ;)

I just tried it and it told me it would take 8 hours. Uh-huh. I'm very upset right now.

But thanks! I'm sure there'll be a squee-y post tomorrow!

I FEEL THIS POST, MY FRIEND.

IT COULD HAVE VERY WELL BEEN WRITTEN BY ME IS ALL I'M SAYING.

OUR PAIN IS MUTUAL.

Okay, how about an American adds to your torture? Because I just attended the US premier of #11 at WonderCon here in San Francisco, and my daughter informs me that we and the other 800 or so people there totally pwn the rest of you! Ha! Neener! MiAmor is now bummed out that he took one look at the line and decided to wait until it aired. We were under the impression it was going to be on tomorrow, but now he has to wait 2 weeks. Just imagine not rubbing his face in the total awesomeness for 2 more weeks! I hope it doesn't end in divorce. Heh.

Haha! I'm glad you and your daughter got to do that; it sounds like so much fun!

Your icon is awesome in this context!

I'm sorry. It was pretty awesome, though. And you guys get so many other shows way before we do.

Shutting up now.

And you guys get so many other shows way before we do. This is a very excellent point.

Mostly this post was written out of my extreme frustration with my internet. I don't know if it's the connection's fault or my computer's fault, but it's literally taking hours upon hours to download things that used to take twenty minutes, and I just don't understand why. It's driving me crazy, both because of the wait, and because I can't figure out why it's behaving this way.

*sniffs* Am I the ONLY one who misses David?! AM I?!!!!!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-04 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I do miss him! I'm just still mad at him about Donna. *sigh*

O.O Okay I'm not gonna ask because being the big baby I am, I didn't watch the last few episodes of DW and now I'm even more confused and fear for the end even now. *giggles* But I did get a glimpse of the first episode and I feel like I've missed something. *sighs*

IKR!!! One of my flisters flailed about it recently. I'm glad to hear she's not the only one! I was expecting massive disappointment.
