Alien Activity: Martha has discovered that her protozooids are speaking in binary. She's looking forward to further communication and I'm stocking up on plankton (but not woeful!). I am also filing cake in a jar under " Alien Activity" though possibly it should go under weapons, at least if Andy has anything to say about it.
THE MASTER IS A STUPID NAME: The Doctor arrived with T and Andy in the 52nd century for his mindwipe. We're all very sad to see him depart, but of course before he could leave he had to calibrate for the date and then uh... blow up T's boss. And have a meeting with... The Master. Which is a stupid name. Martha was understandably a little put out by all this. Not that I was a bastion of sanity. We do make a good team, though. And once everything was said and done it was a bit like a picnic on the Plass.
Staff: Hart pissily wishes me to make it clear that his spirit animal is the Megalodon. I just...I just don't know anymore. Martha yearns for a more interesting name. Gwen defended Rhys to Jack. A couple of times. But she couldn't be too mad because Jack looked at old photos and Gwen framed one for him. They also reminisced about her hiring. Hart haggles too much. AND HIS MIDDLE NAME IS EUSTACE LOL.
Suzie came back again. That was. Yeah. Can't we all just be friends?
Talking of, Gwen's off to Glastonbury for the weekend. Martha's a trifle worried, but I'm sure the civilians will look out for her. My mate Mikey will be there too, he's a good sort. He might even help you get some mud for Hart and Nick Cave for T, Gwen.
Allied Organisations: HRH is writing a book about hats! She also conferred with Jenny after a little... Boudicca incident (Jack offered Jenny his rooftop for brooding). In preparation, she's done a post about hats. Hart was... enthusiastic about this, while T asked for advice and I admitted to my own momentarily poor taste. Harold and I are planning another pub night!
PCandy will always be funny, but someone crashed a ROFLcopter. It might be a good DJ name. Somehow Andy ended up in a pile of lesbians, you never know your luck. T almost disapproved but squeezed in. Andy, seriously, what's with the yurts? Lovely to see you doing domestic, though.
Security: Are we worried that Donna Noble seems to have found us? Or that she's much too good at being a temp? Just how weird is the weirdness gas? Are Jack's hygiene concerns justified? What would Gwen be without her compassion? Does Gerard know too much (and can we keep him anyway)? Do we have a Cake Emergency Plan in place? Will Andy end up in the early eighties someday? Should we re-examine our hiring practices? And what about the owls?
WEEVILMANIA: SOMEONE snuck a Commodore 64 to Janet. Turns out she can touch type. And criticise fashion. Finding out that Janet was a "person" freaked Martha out, but what's a little lab testing between sentient races? Jack wanted me to shut down Martha's compassioning but Martha was undeterred. At least, until Janet mauled her. I went in after her and got Martha to safety and looked sexy doing it. Poor Martha had to give herself injections, but she did have a very nice post-mauling nap before HART WOKE HER UP, ARSEHOLE. Janet taunted him about his socks and talked literature with Jack. She apologised but Martha was having none of it ( twice!). Apparently Janet and Andy are forming a band? Upsetting. Not as upsetting as BBC Radio 4, apparently. What? I like it.
Supplies/Technology: Hart keeps messing with the alien meccano set. Everyone else needs to stop standing so close to the subetheric resonator! Also there is no chocolate in raspberry sorbet. Pasties are both a pie and an item of "clothing". Which reminds me, must buy new non-poly-cotton blend jumpsuit for Janet.
I showed off my iPhone apps this week (the Life After People one creeps me out and Martha says the UNIT one is a joke). Some of them still confuse Hart, and I've been working on teaching Jack the "Phone" App on his new iPhone. Not to mention how to avoid bank scams (and bad food).
Community Outreach: Jack offered advice for the complicated world of sperm donation, including how to make names more Welsh and identify things in photos. Jack also apologised to one of our civilians for getting her name wrong. He's ace at apologising (and cosplay). She accepted my advice on Welsh and discussed spoilers with Hart.
Jack and I plotted outreach techniques for dealing with the Swedish and the team analysed Things Americans Like.
Spoilers and Historical Notes: Hart had a sexbot. Anyone surprised? No? Thought not. He and Jack had a hoard of sticks, too. Or do they? (The Denola bars were delicious, T!)
Did you know Stephen Fry is a brand in the future?
Personal Notes: It's too domestic for words.
Jack was rickrolled by dragons. CLICKY CLICK, PEOPLE.
