Well it's finally Friday and as I said last week weekends are good. There hasn't been much going on in fandom lately. Of course there was today's Children in Need broadcast featuring the preview for The Next Doctor. Click on the link if you haven't seen it yet. It was good and funny and there was much squee. Christmas is coming soon and we'll all ( Read more... )

I've noticed a difference lately when searching YouTube for Life on Mars videos. Now that the US version is out it seems there are tons of newbies watching the UK vids and giving their opinions. One of the comments I read on one video actually said that the most pronounced difference between the two shows was that the original Sam Tyler (John Simm ( Read more... )

I've been in one of those moods lately. Angsting, I suppose one would call it. Not wanting to talk to people or be talked to, just wanting to be alone...wishing I lived alone. So yes, my last few days have been...solitary. I wish they had been more solitary, but my current living situation prevents too much self-imposed privacy.

But I managed to ( Read more... )

I've finished it. My first vid in probably a year and it's dedicated to Life on Mars Series 1. Hopefully another one from Series 2 will follow shortly. I've tried to integrate a lot of dialogue and excerts from some of my favorite scenes. Of course it's set to Life on Mars by David Bowie. Hope you enjoy it. :)

This is my second try at posting this, but perhaps it's better this way. Last night I had this long rant written up, but let's face it, in relation to all of the natural disasters occuring around the world this week this news pales by comparison.

But still, Life on Mars is beloved by many of us in fandom and so I feel it necessary to say...What is ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm here to do my fandom/vid rec posting, but didn't I just do one? Seeing as it was all DW related and I've found so many good LOM vids lately I decided to give them their very own posting this time.

But first...I just signed up for a ficathon. OMG, I must be crazy. I haven't written anything since I got my new job...and that's not for lack ( Read more... )

It's a nice verb too...not like running or jumping or excercising. Fangirling, an enjoyable way to pass an afternoon.

And that's just what I'm doing. Well that, and also making my first fandom update/vid rec post of the new year. So here we go...

First up is David Tennant and John Simm appearing together on the New Years show "Hootenanny". Best ( Read more... )

Oh, well. Still nothing much going on with me lately, personal life wise. Felt a bit sick the last few days so I've just been laying about, or sitting at the computer most of the time. Today I've been amusing myself on the Smith_n_Jones community and trying to finish up my story for the Masterficathon as the deadline is fast approaching on Sunday. ( Read more... )

Hmmm...I've noticed lately that the things that seem to dominate the front of my mind 90% of the time are fandom related. Why is this? How to keep them all seperate? Should we even try (see icon)? How do we stay sane in a sci-fi fandom world? Let's enumerate, shall we.

1. Harry Potter - Admittedly, I'm not really part of the HP fandom. But I am a ( Read more... )

Well, over the weekend I journeyed further into the world of British television by watching two more wonderful sci-fi shows produced for the BBC. The live 2005 remake of The Quatermass Experiment featured our very own 10th Doctor, David Tennant, and was a very interesting look at they way this early show influenced all aspects of science fiction ( Read more... )
