... and touched the face of God
I am BASKING in the relief from a rather icky stomach bug that I will save you all from imagining by not talking about it anymore. (but it was REALLY icky).
So.
I watched TV! I watched TV that wasn't Torchwood and I liked it! (no, I really am not watching a lot of tv these days. Top Gear, NCIS, True Blood now it's just started and the ( Read more... ) -

Torchwood: Children (and parents) of Earth
Before I settle down with Marcus Sedgwick's My Sword Hand Is Singing, I want to follow up a few issues from my post on Children of Earth (there is some interesting discussion in the comments and some good links too).

Torchwood: Children of Earth
Well, I was glad to see txvoodoo's write up of TW:COE because I was starting to think that I was the only person who thought it was any good. I'm not sure I enjoyed it because it made for very uncomfortable viewing in places, especially the last two episodes, and I'm not sure I'll be rushing to rewatch it but it was a piece of quality drama and head and ( Read more... ) -
We call it the Andrex Premiership because it's soft and unnecessarily expensive.
I think Professor of Vindictive Meteorology would be a job that would suit me down to the ground. Oh, okay, perhaps that should just be Lecturer in Vindictive Meteorology, I'm still pretty young.

I think it says something about the British public that Jeremy Clarkson and James May make Heat magazine's 100 hottest guys and JARED PADALECKI DOESN'T.

We like men who ( Read more... ) -
the Stig's mother could drive this lap, although that's unlikely because he was raised by wolves
I am indescribably happy because I'm cautiously optimistic about going to see Neil Gaiman - twice! - in August with rubbishgroupie and the delightful swiv. And the sun will shine and we shall find a park to drink coffee and read Neverwhere and American Gods in.
And speaking of American Gods - Dust in the Wind is a gen crossover between American Gods and SPN. No ( Read more... ) -

Well, I don't know about you, but I certainly feel more evil than at the beginning of the week, though I don't like the insinuation that the UK is being used as a proxy for America. Hey, we're plenty evil on our own kthx. We didn't get our empire by handing out hugs and lollipops as someone over at metaquotes pointed out. Though how awesome would that have ( Read more... ) -
