Was just listening to the next installment of that radio mystery, and happened to hear an ad for the Torchwood radio episode after it.

I think that's Martha saying "that's brilliant!" in it. I think. Maybe. Some other woman talking who I didn't recognize, and the rest JB. Nothing really spoilery - just audio snips like "I'm Jack Harnkess."

You know how there were these cartoonish drawings done for Doctor Who - I've seen one for S2 and one for S3 where a bunch of elements from the whole series were thrown in. (I think Queen Vic was riding the blue Vespa? Or maybe it was Donna in the wedding dress?) Anyway, was there one of these drawings done for S4?

Felt in the mood to play with Photoshop, and wound up with 10 Middleman icons.

How can you not love a show that's this random? :D

I'm sure this goes completely away from the book, but it still might be interesting to see what they do with it. The only downside is that looks like it's an actual season rather than a mini-series. But it also looks like they've adopted the 13-episode season with it instead of the 22, so maybe that's a good sign? This would be one story I wouldn't want to see dragged out forever and ever, but if it does reasonably well, the drive will be so very strong to keep it going. Anyway, I'll at least watch the first episode.

After a delay, the final commentary part of Signing Up.

( Part 3 )

Feel halfway normal today, which is strange. I sort of hate saying that because every time I do, it seems to hit me with a vengeance hours later.

Haven't been keeping up with LJ too well. Here and there. But I have been watching a lot of old movies. One series I went through was some Dorothy L. Sayers mysteries thing made back in the 80s, I think. It was so adorably stereotypically British. Well, Masterpiece Theater kind of British. "Darling, if you'll marry me I'll take it as good indication that you like me." And stuff like that. :D I'm sad though - apparently there was a final book which they didn't turn into a miniseries. I got sort of addicted to "she's dancing with another man, which makes me peeved enough to give a slight glare at them through my monocle." It looks like there was an audiobook done, which I might have to order. Why don't places let you buy and download audiobooks? If a place would have offered it, I would have done it. I wanted instant gratification.

I've moved on to Miss Marple. Not as entertaining since I kind of like the romance subplot (and they're slow as hell). I have a thing for sleuthing couples. (Which is why Nancy needs to dump Ned and hook up with Frank, which would be the most awesome sleuthing duo ever.)

Sort of bored, which is an improvement over exhausted.

Continued commentary on Signing Up.

( Part 2 )

debs7 requested commentary on Signing Up. It's a longer fic, so I'm going to have to do this in parts.

( Part 1 )

goldy_dollar asked for commentary on Tea & Domesticity.

reve_silencieux asked me to comment on The Secret to Life, the Universe and Everything. This fic was written with goldy_dollar. I wrote the first half and she wrote the second, so I'm just going to comment on the part I wrote.

Doctor Who YouTube Funnies:

The Doctor gets Rickrolled (Donna's reactions cracked me up, also I snickered at the Doctor's AIM graphics.)

The Doctor channel surfs (A couple of laugh-out-loud moments.)

A couple of fic writing memes...


Request any fic of mine and I will provide you with a commentary/annotations, like a DVD extra.

Here's a list of fics I've posted on LJ.


( And a different fic meme. )

One good thing about having to bail on the trip is that the airline is giving me full credit to use anytime for a year. Hooray for Alaska Airlines!

Feeling sorta better today. Got an air purifier, so I'm hoping that will help. I'm just tired right now though. If I don't see dramatic improvement in the next couple of days, I'm going to a different doctor.

Hope everyone can scoot out of the way of the hurricane. I've been watching the news, and things seem better as far as prep this time around, although they could hardly be worse.

I really wonder about New Orleans, though. Is this a city we're going to be able to save if there will be storms like this every few years? I'm not trying to make any judgments about it, just...wondering what can be done.

Didn't go. Am home. Sorta bummed, but there really was no way.

This week's Middleman had Doctor Who references! HA!

( The Clotharian Contamination Protocol )

Title: The Garden Party
Characters: Ten II, Jackie (implied Ten II/Rose)
Spoilers: Knowledge of Journey's End
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,700+
Summary: The Doctor gets a glimpse into Jackie's life.

A/N: Set in my Signing Up universe. Although all you really need to know about it is that the Doctor and Rose are living in the guest house on the Tyler estate as they're waiting for the new TARDIS to grow. I'm currently writing a proper sequel, but this short insert (think I'll call it that) kept nagging me to write it.

Thanks to goldy_dollar for betaing!

ETA2: Can't find it. I'm watching Moonstruck instead. (I've got the DVD, but Hulu reminded me I've got the DVD. If you've never seen this movie, I'd recommend it - and you can watch the whole thing on Hulu.)

Speaking of which, I miss Torchwood.
