Torchwood, Who and stuff

[sammywol]

Got poor sleep again. Will switch off early and go and read The No-Cry Sleep Solution in hopes and prayers some solution may be found for BB's refusal to sleep at night. It is doing awful things to our bonding and not so great things to our health as well

I hope you can get some sleep tonight--lack of sleep will totally destroy me.

As for DD being slapped...sheesh. That's no good at all. I've been smacked before by my parents, but when my grandparents spanked me, they heard about it from my folks. And that was family. *hugs* Good luck getting it sorted.

Tahnks for the kidn sleep wishes! (Decided to let the typos stand as a testament to state of mind your honour))

[irishkate]

with you on the torchwood points pretty much - didnt see the confidential.

as for DD - as long as she is ok that's good and the Dad needs a talking to, calmly if possible.

Hugs about BB - and let me know if you are still up for company tomorrow evening what ime suits you.

[sammywol]

Compnany good! Do we have your phone number to call and arrange later?

[sammywol]

Yes apparently we do. See you

BBC3 at 8pm tomorrow, apparently.

Sorry BB is being a pain. Somehow it's so much more exhausting when they are little bit older.

Agreed totally about Grey. No significant difference in his acting before or after he was frozen.

[sammywol]

Grrrr. Repeat time hits bedtime so not much good then either. Must try to fake a UK IP I think so can torrent.

As for BB last night went a good deal better. Still not best though. Silly boy!

Yaaaaay for BBC3, and fake .uk IPs (though also *mild boggle* at latter). Booooooo for kiddy-winks that won't comply with the gin-and-calpol, not to mention digiboxes that keep resetting and "forgetting" all the Other Channels, and generalised epic fails in also missing 'Who (maoi). Kid #1 getting whacked by some random stranger: well, the correct emote escapes me for now, if not permanently. Probably a big nasty relative of "grrrrr", though.

I *did* happen to watch Touchwood(TM), but was missing so much in the way of context as to spend 45 minutes going "uh" and "oo" at semi-random, so I'll skip the detailed analysis until I've watched from the start of the first series, in what one might call "Kate Mode" (LJs ibid). The "in a hole for 2000 years" bit did strike me as teetering on the brink of Marvin territory, though. "Millennia of premature burial, and I have a stabbing pain in my epaulettes all down one siiiiide. Oh well."

What's the right-on postmodern-corconian-tapas place, then?

[sammywol]

Hard luck on the Torchwood context thingie but then we missed most of the series and it didn't impact much. Of course I did have the 'just watch JM prance about dressed like Adam Ant' aspect to distract me.

Kid #1 getting whacked by some random stranger Oh if it was only that. That would a matter for the Gardai and I could go at it all gloves off, crazed Momma with no repercussions upon her. Sadly said adult was her best friend's Dad and a man we really rather liked up until now. They are neighbours too and we share a lot of child dropping/collecting duties and alternate sleepovers and playdates. So if I balls this up repercussions could be very bad for DD but at the same time I am not about to just leave it am I?

[sammywol]

Missed the question at the end. It's Boqueria (sic) on Bridge Street and is mostly a pub but with tapas instead of pub grub. Very, very nice!

Love the Marvin ref. too btw.!

I'm not sure the "context" thing greatly effected my enjoyment (which would have been at "medium-high", for the record), but rather my feeling I knew what was going on, or the likelihood of me imagining I had anything intelligent to say about it -- especially in a blog of constant radius filled with hardcore TW analysts.

Oh, I see. That would indeed complicate matters, and modulate one's "grrrrr" (even as a sentiment, setting aside the matter of tactics). But no, I imagine you certainly wouldn't want to leave it at that, for the sake of all concerned. I'd reckon that "concerned and puzzled enquiry" would be a reasonable place to start one's opening bid, and see how things go from there. Fortunately (for me, at least), it's an area I'm profoundly non-qualified in...

Bridge Steet, OK. thanks. Heh, that's one place you'd think I'd actually notice such things! Especially now the Nights Are Fair Drawin' Oot(TM). I must give it a try.
