So, it's been a bit of a mad week.  Some family/real life stuff going on - don't ask - so I've not been around a lot and I'm majorly behind on everything.  My novel, my reading list, job hunting, Project Classic!Who, and my vid for xf_is_love month (though the last one isn't going too badly, thank god!)  On top of this, we've been having some internet issues ( Read more... )

I'm being bad at that lurking thing again, aren't I?  *Slaps hand*

Teaching has completely finished so all I'm doing all day is job-hunting and not working on my novel.  Both are very procrastinatory (is that a word?) things, and my particular brand of procrastination is to go on the internet, read people's posts, think 'hmm, I should comment on ( Read more... )

I'm back from my holi-bobs!  (Actually, I got back on Tuesday night but I'm still catching up with myself.)  I've had to spend most of the last two days between unpacking on the phone, speaking to about fifteen different people in order to discover that TNT have lost my new Macbook.  Blegh.  Not hugely important in the grand scheme of things - I'll ( Read more... )

HELL YEAH THAT WAS AMAZING ( Read more... )

Not doing a proper reaction post this time as I'll just ramble on for pages again and I really don't have time for that this weekend, but:

( Brief, mildly-spoilery thoughts. No, really, honestly, they're brief (well, for me). I don't know how I did it either. )

1.  I was too hard on The Beast Below the other day.  I fully acknowledge this. :) This is why I shouldn't write instant reactions, I need to wait a few days until the instinct to rant has drained away.

And possibly I wasn't clear enough in the actual post that I did really enjoy and love the episode overall, and I didn't mind the plot holes, it was ( Read more... )

( Spoilery Doctor Who thoughts beneath the cut )

I was coming home on the bus this afternoon when a little girl across the aisle (adorable btw; tiny, Scottish, ginger and freckles) suddenly shouted ( Read more... )

I suppose I should really post a reaction to new Doctor Who in my new trying-not-to-lurk-so-much persona, shouldn't I? Yes, I'm horribly late. Ssh.

The trouble is, I suck at brevity. I can either give one line reactions (loved it/hated it), or I will ramble on for 18 pages (front and back). I'll give brevity my best shot but I don't hold out ( Read more... )

I've been putting off posting this because part of me was still hoping I could catch up, but...I've pretty much abandoned my attempt to watch all of New Who before the new series starts.  I got behind thanks mainly to a stomach bug that laid me low for a couple of days, then there was uni work, family stuff, a sort-of social life, a church magazine ( Read more... )
