Dug this out the comments to of an oooold old post of mine:

"Simon and Esk Not!Time Lords! Watch, as they navigate the most tangled knots of time, not doing anything and thereby saving the universe! Comedy! Romance! Probably History Monks!"

Oh my God they're Sapphire and Steel o.O

After watching "the Impossible Astronaut", we had this conversation:

Him: It's okay because that's not really the Doctor. It's a robot. The Doctor was killed in "The Caves of Androzani" when he was shot with 31 bullets.
Me: ... the Doctor is not a robot.
Him: Totally a robot.

...yeah, guess who was really smug last night.

( Wanna get coffee? Yeah. Married? ...Yeah )

The Lilacs are blooming!

...guess it's time to go reread Night Watch

Well...that was just silly.

But now I get to use this quote!

Something Vimes had learned as a young guard drifted up from memory. If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want ( Read more... )

Last night at CABS I finally had the opportunity to play the Discworld: Ankh-Morpork board game. This is basically an area control game, with the complication that not all of the players have the same goal. You play as one of seven Ankh-Morpork luminaries, but keep this identity secret from everyone else, because it defines your win condition. ( Read more... )

I finished I Shall Wear Midnight today. So, basically 24 hours after picking it up. Pratchett books are always page-turners for me. Even the ones with chapters!

I liked it a lot more than I liked Wintersmith. I couldn't say what my problem with Wintersmith was - it just was vaguely unsatisfying. But I like this one more. It's been long ( Read more... )

Going to the BMV today. Wish me luck? I still couldn't find my original marriage license - we found it briefly last year and made copies, but seem to have lost it again.

I totally called who the call-back cameo was in I Shall Wear Midnight...roughly four pages before it was revealed. I am very proud.

I think karakael's ( Read more... )

karakael was kind enough to lend me her copy of I Shall Wear Midnight, the latest of the Tiffany Aching books. The Tiffany Aching books are a children's/young adult series by Terry Pratchett set on the Discworld, but separate from the main series (although they intersect substantially with the Witches subseries). I'm a few chapters in and enjoying it ( Read more... )

So, I've been trying to get off of my Doctor Who kick by getting onto a Discworld kick. (Really, I'm very overdue for an Arthur or Beowulf kick - it's just been a whole lotta Doctor Who and Discworld lately).

Anway, watching the BBC adaptation of The Color of Magic reminded me how much I like Rincewind, which in turn reminded me how much I like ( Read more... )

If "David" is the song for the 10th Doctor (it so totally is)...

You're like a Doctor for us all ( Read more... )
