... in which romancing the alien priestess is so very 1967
Dammit, just as I'm working on a campaign to prove that any allegation I'm a shrieking fangirl is totally made up, stuff like this comes along. I wish I could stay calm and sensible when faced with something like that, but... David Hewlett. Is hugging. A Dalek! He's posing with it and showing it off to his dog! And then he says thankyou to fans by name and even better, in binary, and oh my god if it wouldn't be disturbing on about eighty seven billion levels I would totally be offering to have that man's babies. *lsakjdlksajdlksajdklsaeeeblsidieeeeeeeee!!!*
God, I love being a huge dork.
In more serious news, somebody I like very much was talking a little while ago about obituaries, and what would be good to ask for as a memorial "in leiu of flowers". A whole load of things got mentioned, some funny and useful (scathing letters to your elected representative of choice!), some nice (to do one random, pointless thing that makes you happy). This morning I got an email off my supervisor, and I think I discovered what I'd want on mine, if I was ever going to make a statement like that: for people to go and say thankyou to somebody they think of as a really good teacher, in whatever respect that may be. Really good teachers are up there with finding a winning lottery ticket down the back of the sofa.
So, if the expected bird flu pandemic gets me - and frankly, out of all the places to be, somewhere essentially consisting of a huge stagnant pond and shitloads of ducks and geese is probably not the best, heh - then now you know. :) How about you?
