(no subject)
so I just finished copying out notes, and i'm having a burst of enthusiasm for astrophysics. I mean, I get to do a course on detecting frickin' exoplanets! dude! how cool is that? and it helps that I did some research on that before so I know what's going on most of the time.
doesn't help that I've made one tut and one out of seven lectures in the past three days. eep. need to sort that out. really, really need to. will work in own time. will. really.
will not sit watching Dr Who. though it is fun. we watched Image of Fendahl earlier, edithmatilda and I, and yes, we saw subtext. Adam and Max - the two scientist men that weren't the mad German/Welsh one. it was lovely. Four is good. Seven also, and I like Ace... ah, that was it.
Mask of Fenric. well. hmm. vampires were so convincing, and then... oh, bits I liked, right... no, but it was so obvious that the guy was going to die because Ace liked him. I liked that she still hated her mother, because you would think that would be an unacceptable thing to have, but no... and at one point it looks like they're going to do "heart-warming" power-of-love-and-faith type shit, and Ace's all "I believe in you, Doctor" and then he tears her down. like, seriously fucks with her self-esteem. and it's fabulously done, and there's a reason for it, and they make up afterwards... I still might have to fic her angsting about it.
oh, that ep also gave me a little revelation, because I was seeing things between Seven and Ace that really aren't there, it is a paternal-type-thing going on. but because I've been disappointed in my father, as everyone must be in real life, to some extent, I can't see the beauty of an idealised father-daughter relationship. and that's why I idealise true-love-sexual-relationships, because I've never had one so I've never had one fuck me over and fuck me up.
Ghost Light which was yet more period acting. Light himself was a bit crap. Ace in the suit was just great... I think I might have a bit of a crush on Ace, actually, she's just fab... but yes. yet more Ace-angst, and the Doctor trying to pry it out of her because it matters but also because he cares about her. and the very end, with her regretting burning it down. "Really?" "Yeah, I wish I'd blown it up instead." "Wicked." which was a bit cheap, having him say her catchphrase, but... how can you not like Ace? arson, explosions, sense of humour, much angst... ee. yes. and Seven is just so wonderfully manipulative and shameless about it. and I'll be going now.
wow, I love the way I fit in personal crap when I'm talking about old sci-fi. it really impresses me how self-centred I am. and I really ought to go to bed because I have to get up before noon so I can shower before my doctor's appointment (and he will give me better drugs, or I will do something drastic.)
we wrote slogans on T-shirts with toilet bleach earlier. mine says "May you be as vivid as my hallucinations", which is a bastardisation of a quote from The Surrealist Compliment Generator and is oddly friendly.
I really am going now.
