So...

Is there any way I actually want to watch Something Borrowed? I'm... scared to. It's really sad that even the possibility of a pairing can make me that worried. Although I guess it's also one I love breaking up (Not a spoiler! These are just my fears.) It'll have to wait until later, anyhow - going into Special Collections (where the history lives) and reading Women's Own issues from the 50s. Yes. They are hilarious. If you're good, I'll bring back funny quotes.

Additionally! Finally saw V for Vendetta, with was a nice combination of awesome, heartbreaking and hilariously silly. When I finally renew Havelock's account, I really have to get some screencaps for great knife action. Not the, er. Blurry ones, though. His don't do that.

Shower!

Dear Torchwood,

STOP IT WITH THE JACK/GWEN ATTEMPTS OR I WILL CUT YOU.

Also? Might want to work out a way to use less CGI, because that was painful. Plus, you need to get your Owen and Tosh character motivations sorted. They're flip-flopping in a way that is painfully contrived.

Apart from that, I'm still loving the second season. The lines, the badassery of Ianto, everything.

Love, but a warning,

Amy.

You know the drill, right?

Torchwood fandom, MPreg-verse, no money being made, warnings for... uh, swearing? Complete lack of logic?
Warning: SPOILERS for Torchwood series 2 episode 1. However, all dialogue is from my memory, and therefore probably very wrong. But the gist of it's all right. Er. Up until the whole alien baby thing.

Sooooo.

Seen it.

:D

( When shamelessly trashy TV is good for the soul )

Reactions, please! Talk to me!

Here is an oops-I-haven't-updated-in-a-while entry!

I had my sister over for the weekend, which is why I wasn't around much: Mainly, I spent the time introducing her to series two Heroes and Avatar in general, which predictably, she loved. Ummm.

Today! My Science and History tutor set up a quiz for us - basically a reference-hunt. Here, have a look! Why were these three titles chosen for weekly topic headers? 1789 and All That, Imperial Nature (about C19th botanists and classification) and The Ringing Grooves of Change (about Victorian period industrial advances.) I won. :D! Man, I haven't felt so geeky in a long time. It feels gooood. And then we all got chocolate. :D I ♥ Professor Endersby.

Then there was choir, which, my god. I love it so much. I've missed singing so much in the two years I've been at Uni without it. We're doing A Ceremony of Carols for a concert at the end of term, which is really lovely, and unusual, too. We've got a few more pieces, as well, including a very pretty arrangement of Away in a Manger. *sighs happily* Anyone who thinks female soprano voices are squeaky and unattractive should be made to come and listen to some of these pieces. I have a minor girlcrush on one of our soloist's voices, it's that lovely. And one piece is so fantastic I keep wanting to learn how to vid just to try and make an Aang-centric one with it. >_> never mind that it's about, you know, Jesus, not the Avatar. It's close enough! Mind you, I do wish they'd run through one or two of the chorus parts a little more. Some of us can't read music so well, conductor-man!

*Bounce*

Ummm... Got my Jack-meta on over here earlier...

And that's pretty much it. What have you all been up to?

Followon from this and this. Not mine, all the BBC's, yadda yadda.

Well, somehow this next bit turned into Owen-Tosh friendschmoop.

I have no idea how or why.

Whatever.

*Head in hands*

( Oh, my poor soul. )

apiphile is clearly a bad influence.

Mpreg!Jack Harkness drabble.

No, I don't know either.

*Slightly embarrassed glance at last night's post*

Er, yes. Predictably, I felt on the crap side this morning, but have steadily improved (the one good thing about hangovers - there's stuff you can do to make them go away.) Lots of water, painkillers, an apple, some flat lemonade and some fresh bread with just marmite on, and I feel vaguely human again.

Back to uni tomorrow. D: I'll actually probably like bits of that, but it does feel a bit depressing, not least because I have a 3000 word essay due within the first four days. I'm on top of it, as far as I can be without really caring much. (Electives FTW. Is internet fandom gendered? Probably, yes. Do I care enough to study dull, dull, theoretical texts? Um....)

Man. I have stuff to be doing! I have the most awesome course starting (Magic and Superstition, bay-bee) and of course that whole Milliways thing. Reminder to self: get fucking organised for playing with Torchwood-canon. Actually talking to a couple of canon-mate muns would seem a plan! And slowtimes, and OOMs, oh boy. Getting Harth's head sorted out so I actually know what he's thinking, however unpleasant it may be.

OMG, stop raaaaining...

I appear to have missed the past two weeks, though I'll remedy the second right now. I don't know why - I wasn't even ill for the first. That one: I liked it. It was well characterised, sad, and generally worked, even though the explanation was basically:

Writer: "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if...?"

But it was, kinda, so we'll let that one slide and move onto this week's, Combat.

( Yay for Spoilers! )

Well, well, well. Next week looks interesting. Oh, and I kind of loved the Runaway Bride. What they haven't quite got right in Torchwood yet really does make Doctor Who a joy to watch.

Oooh. This one looks good, and yet already so much to bitch about.

( Let's get started )

Man. Questions, comments?

On the Real Life side, the plumbing's fixed, which I'm sure warms all your hearts for me. Also, I got penalty fare-d this morning on the train. *Sulk* I'm appealing it, obviously, more for the principle than the twenty quid. The woman was so nice about it, she gave me a list of things to say in my letter that'll get me off the hook. *Amused.*

Dinner now.
