Four months
Eek, was 15th July actually the last time I posted? I am still here! I...haven't been reading, actually. Sorry. I do intend to come back. It's all Twitter's fault.
Not much happening, mind you. I went to see The Indelicates a couple of weeks ago and they were amazing; I went to see Skunk Anansie tonight and they were OK. (There were seats at the ( Read more... ) -
Translation services for immigrants
So I have a question my google-fu is failing me on - I keep just getting results from the Daily Mail. I have a feeling all the information I want will be on websites in other languages, which isn't that helpful to mostly monolingual me ( Read more... ) -
Still Aten't Dead Redux
Hello! I've been meaning to blog about loads of things, but obviously now that I've got round to sitting at the "post an entry" screen my mind's gone blank. So, general update ( Read more... ) -
Doctor Who 5.13 The Big Bang
Right now, that episode seems close to perfect. I'm sure there are problems with it - especially if you object too much to fantasy in your SF - but it was just stunningly executed. ( Spoilers! ) -
Double standards
So we keep hearing about how it's Totally Racist for Scottish people (or Welsh or Irish, I guess) to support Anyone But England in the World Cup. We should all support England cos they're, like, our next-door neighbours. When Alex Salmond or Andy Murray mention in passing that they might not support England, they get a pasting from the English ( Read more... ) -
Doctor Who 5.12 The Pandorica Opens
That, on the other hand, is more like it. Fully made of awesome and win. And ZOMG. Now, fingers crossed Moffat can stick the landing.
Have to watch it again, because my mum kept wandering back and forwards with washing baskets and things. Sigh. But watch it again tonight, or wait till I get back home to my big telly? Both, probably. So MOAR LATER. -
Doctor Who
Worst ep of the whole reboot - even worse than Fear Her, if that's possible. Not worth a proper review, except to note that James Corden wasn't the worst thing about the episode by a long way.
Next week looks good though. -
Validate me!
Poll I do need to replace my desktop computer, and going by all the sites I've looked at and the people I know, I can't really see a reason to buy another desktop rather than a laptop. 99% of what I do on my computer is internetting or watching TV, I don't do much intensive processor or graphics stuff. And I already have a 1TB external drive, so "only" ( Read more... ) -
Booklovers
I just (skim)read 12 days' worth of your LJ entries. Hugs to, oh, what seems like about 75% of you. On the other hand, YAYCONGRATS to skybard on finishing uni! (Also, I can remember when I'd hit the skip -980 limit after about four days of missing LJ. Nostalgia...but I can't complain, for I am part of the problem, not part of the solution ( Read more... )
