I said: Loads of politics posts in a row. Time for some frivolity methinks...
The problem being that I've had a bit of a 'meh' day and can't summon the inclination to be frivolous; folder full of fun links but can't be arsed to sort them. Had a quick drink with nadriel earlier but even that and the walk there & back wasn't working. Then, to top it all, ( Read more... )

Jennie asks: What Does one do when one is missing one's BF terribly?
It's a fair question; her response is to make this massively spoilery Jacobi in Dr Who desktop wallpaper that you probably don't want to look at if you haven't seen Utopia yet ( Read more... )

Very (very) very cool. A few clunkers, a few wastes of time, some awesome silliness (Big Trouble in Little China on the big screen anyone?), 300 in an IMAX ( Read more... )

So, steph_swainston's new book is out today. And I'm tying to save money. Given that there are three books out this month I really want, well, patience is a virtue, I'd decided to switch to paperbacks only way before I ran out of money. Then she posted a link to a really good interview and a follow uppost about modern fantasy / New Weird writing. Got me all ( Read more... )

I'm sat eating the pizza (standard on offer Sainsbury 4-cheeses plus some quorn slices I added myself), the phone beeps.

Megabus vouchers paid for by a certain someone. I'm off to Yorksher (again) for trhe bank holiday weekend. I go to post. I hit the WiFi. I log into deepestsender. I hit the WiFi (again). I type this. I hit the WiFi, pull the connector ( Read more... )
