I resent this a great deal. Also bought a bag of almonds tonight with the express intention of sitting down and eating it a lot, but had to give up after only a few. Almonds, I will give you this, you are a very filling nut. <br /><br />Also watched SJA, which was delightful! It has been some time since I watched SJA, for reasons which I shall not go into, and I am so glad I got to see these two particular episodes. I found out a while ago that many respectable and awesome people do not in fact watch SJA, which is <i>sad</i> and slightly shocking, as they do not have my reasons, merely the Fear Of Spinoff. At the time I wrote a whole <i>thing</i> about why they should which essentially boiled down to:<br /><br /> - It has Sarah-Jane goddamned Smith.<br /> - It has K9.<br /> - It has the motherfucking <i>Brig</i>.<br /> - It has great character chemistry, continuity and dialogue.<br /> - Speaking of continuity it handles Classic References <i>supremely</i> well, see: <br /> a) That time SJ randomly referenced Peladon in casual conversation in a way that was relevant without alienating (please take this on board, <i>New Who</i>. Mythos can be both created and reinforcing Classic w/out having to take a dip in the Exposition Ocean. Check also: 'I Have A History That Is More Than Just Showing You My Faces In Order'.)<br /> b) In a move very similar to <i>Dalek</i>, SJ, who is consistently 'no we don't use guns, we never involve the military, this is <b>not our way</b>' aaaalll S1, <i>flipping the fuck out</i> upon meeting the Sontarans and calling up UNIT. For people who've never seen Classic you can just go 'ooohhhhh these are <i>bad</i> bad guys'. For those who have? The part where she was horrifically tortured by a Sontaran makes the instinctive terror and lack of mercy kinda understandable. <br /> - Did I mention it has the motherfucking Brig?<br /> - It has Ten. (This is not so much of interest to me but you know. To others I guess?)<br /> - And now it has Eleven and <i>Jo</i>. Fffffffffffffffffffffffff <i>yes</i>.<br /><br /><br />Now I want someone to rant with. *sadfaces about*<br /><br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://alexwearspants.dreamwidth.org/28605.html#cutid1">SJA - 'Death of the Doctor' Spoilers.

Also I really wish I had a turntable. I want to play that vinyl of Three singing lullabies that I have now. I want it <i>so hard</i>.<br /><br />Perhaps some Three, and then sleep.<br /><br /><br /><br />Also I have been very shoddy at answering comments lately (read: always.) I will try to get on that (read: most likely will fail.)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=alexwearspants&ditemid=28605" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2010-09-03:581016:27231Blagh2010-09-10T07:24:35Z2010-09-10T07:50:36ZYou Are The Moon - The Hush Soundpublic0Woke up without hacking up my lungs for the first time in a fortnight, spent the day so miserably depressed I didn't notice until. Erm. Right now. I had hoped the general downness was just a symptom or byproduct of other illness but that appears possibly not to be so. I'm taking a lot of satisfaction in stupid things, like passing levels in games or managing my tags. (Which I now have to do with Dreamwidth because ... I don't know. They fail at importing my tags? I do? IIIII am not sure. It blows but it's a way to spend the evening.) It's somewhat failface. Well. It's a lot failface. Still. Have picked out icons for my fandom journal. That's exciting. Also fandom is eh right now. Anyway. Might watch Benny movie.<br /><br />At least I'm getting better, though.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>ETA:</b> Except apparently DW has imported some of them? Just ... not applied. So not as much cleaning as anticipated. Which is a good thing. Of course.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=alexwearspants&ditemid=27231" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
