On an idle vanity search (look, I'm only human), I just came across this 2009 tweet from Faith Erin Hicks and freaked out. FAITH ERIN HICKS.

Faith Erin Hicks, if you are unaware, created the character Riley from AMAZING VIDEOGAME The Last of Us. She co-wrote and illustrated AMAZING LAST OF US PREQUEL COMIC American Dreams.

Well, my 'Torchwood: Miracle Day will contain an average of one explosion per episode' prediction was clearly a bit on the conservative side. How many explosions were there in the first episode, again? Three?

I'm quite gripped by the concept of Miracle Day, though! I'm interested in seeing where it goes. At the moment it seems to be at 'good ( Read more... )

I had a day out with th_esaurus yesterday! We watched X-Men: First Class in the cinema and ate ice-cream and went to a private art exhibition where I pretended not to be aware of the fact that Matt Berry was standing next to me. It was a wonderful day.

Last night, inappropriately, totaldrwhofreak and I went to an improv comedy show featuring Josie Long, Sara Pascoe, Humphrey Reallytallperson, Some Other Guy and Some Other Girl! (EDIT: inappropriately has informed me that the last three of these were Humphrey Kerr, David Reed and Bridget Christie ( Read more... )

Today I gave Sanjeev Bhaskar a hug and officially received my degree! (These were related events; Bhaskar is the chancellor of the University of Sussex and was congratulating graduands. Most people just shook his hand, but a few hugged him or asked him to wave to their families. I asked him, 'May I hug you?'; he said, 'Please.' Hug achieved!) And ( Read more... )

Thank you so much for all your kind comments on the past couple of entries! I ran off to my cousin's wedding for the weekend (and very pleasant it was too), so I wasn't able to respond to all of them, but I really appreciate them all ( Read more... )
