Weekend
Spent yesterday meandering around town, looking for ideas for birthday pressie for the bro. He's being spectacularly unhelpful, and fairly ill, so have left it until he has some idea. Bay Trading is being annoying by not having much in the way of colours/designs I like for summery stuff, but it turns out that I appear to have gone down a size in their dresses - I nearly fell out of the 12, asked for the 10 in another style I'd seen on the rack, and that fit fine. Excuse me while I poke my body a bit for this unexplained mass loss, since trying on their shorts proves I'm still a 12 on the arse. (I did fancy the Jeeves and Wooster picnic, but considering I got out of bed at 11:30 and it was v. warm and fuggy... nah.)
Jogging still burbling along, have extended run to the end of the first field, which used to be the 18 minute mark, which dad informs me is about 2 miles, so it turns out I'm up to four miles (a small part being walking, because no-one in their right mind tries to jog up the last bit of New Hill during the second half of a run. Seasoned joggers get over the railway bridge and go 'fuck that'.). Going to stick to that for time constraints for a while, since I tend to do my jogging in the evenings and thus would like to get back a a reasonable time. Crossing fingers over being able to get rid of the wobbly bits on the sides of my legs. I don't expect much toning there due to the type of exercise, but I hope for burning of the fat deposits.
Dr Who was silly, proved Donna has a brain that looks at things no-one else thinks of (it's like her comments about knowing exactly how offices work due to being Super!Temp). Methinks she'd do very well in espionage and planning raids for a very tidy-minded resistance who wanted to do more effective things than just explosions. So, Jenny didn't regenerate as much as... come back like one J. Harkness does. Including the tardis glowy stuff that Jack has used to heal other people. (Time Lords pretty much burn up from within in the current series when regenerating - no idea how they used to do it since I never saw a transition beyond 7->8 and we DO NOT SPEAK OF THAT TRAVESTY.) And she's a soldier. Come, Jenny, join Torchwood. You know you want to. Someone else posited the thought that Jenny should *so* be Jack's aforementioned pregnancy's other parent. For no other reason than it's the future and it would so be made of win, and that character has so been ear-marked for 'we're bringing her back at some point, just wait and see!' However, getting a little tired of Ten's vehemently anti-guns stance, since Nine specifically pulled Jack along so he could do all the soldier stuff.
facepalm of the ep : how the hell does a *fish* drown? and how come he had enough leverage to push Martha out but not enough for him to get a purchase so Martha could drag him out? Freema completely wasted in this ep.
IDA is... Jessie. AUGH. Diction, please? ALW, what is the point of giving her a song that you admit is completely wrong for her unless it's sabotage? Rest of the girls think Niamh is too poppy. I know Rachel's consistent and can act and sing and dance, she just produces feelings of complete 'meh' in me. Sam's pretty good, could probably do the role though I don't think she's going to get it. No-one stood out aside from Jodie this week. And can we please bloody have some musical songs that give them a chance to act? Looking forward to the stunt fighting tonight, since hey, it's a task that's actually applicable to the role! (most of my reviews about this are over in nancy_or_oliver)
