doyleEver seen he got a letter from his ISP about exceeding his monthly bandwidth limit by quite a lot - not my fault, I didn't know there was such a thing, I'm spoiled by my usual student-house ISP and its unlimited downloads - my dad's taken to hovering behind me at the computer demanding to know how much I'm downloading. Even when I point out Net Meter in the corner happily recording how much I've downloaded. Even when I say that the limit's been increased to 30GB and even *I* can't have gone over that in the whole 3 days I've been home this month. He seems convinced that Wanadoo are going to come over and torch the house.
He also wants to put my graduation notice in the local paper. I've said no, but was a tiny bit puzzled at his proposed copy - "[my name], youngest son of [parents names] graduated from Queen's with a 2:1 in Astrophysics" etc...
Mum and I stared at him blankly for quite a long time before I asked, "Dad, you do remember I'm a girl?"
In fandomy stuff, since I get guilty when I veer off into the RL, I now have 9 Jack icons. Not nearly enough! And I need to do Five Companions Jack Never Shagged, but who to pick? Rose and Adric are givens, of course...
