Neverwhere
"He's not my hero."
"I'm afraid he is, dear. I know the type. Something about the eyes."
I've been rewatching this for the fifth or sixth time today. It was a unexpected but great birthday present a few years ago - from before I had a DVD player in fact. My copy of the series is composed of two videos in a chunky plastic box which are gradually ( Read more... ) -
US Freddie Mac chief found dead
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8012527.stm
This just seems...mad. Not that anything like this is ever positive news but it seems almost surreal. Something from a film, or something that will taken down and used in a history text book at some point in the future. I suppose the horrible oddness is that all these massive, almost epic things have ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Conchordance
Jemaine! He wields the power of the talking stove! Although Bret is pretty adorable too.

Interviews and Cracktastic TV
Long day. Loooong day. Not because it was bad, but because once again I have very little to do. That's how it seems to work in my current job - I have nothing to do or it's utter, utter chaos. Still, I'm off tomorrow to attend a job interview. Ironically, applying for the job took me all of an hour, most of that writing a covering e-mail and then ( Read more... ) -

'Doctor Who' trailer, shown after Eurovision:

Went to Eurovision party last night. Too sleepy right now to flail around like the fangirl I am but I'm pretty excited nonetheless. Just drinking some tea to wake me, up then I'm heading out to meet a friend.
Longer sentences to follow later. Maybe.

'The Doctor's Daughter'
I think I'm in the minority when I say this...
...but 'Doctor Who' last night was a bit rubbish, really. Lovely idea in principle and 10/10 for Doctor angst but too many things bugged me about it. -
'The Sontaran Stratagem'/'The Poison Sky'
Wow. I actually ended up really liking an two-parter of 'Doctor Who' written by Helen Raynor. Who knew?
I don't know if I'm alone in this but I'm getting a sense of 'family' as a theme this series. There's Donna, of course, with her fabulous, fabulous granddad and irritating mother. There were the cute little Adipose being brought up on Earth by ( Read more... ) -
Engineers and Kitties!
I think I'm in love:

Hiding Behind the Sofa
This morning I have been mostly writing, mostly. It's shockingly bad writing but at least it's something. I was worried that my very boring job was rotting my already significantly-rotted-by-TV-and-e-numbers mind, so it's nice to give my right brain a bit of an exercise. I've also been out and met
