Some things have gone on in the last few months. I've got things to sort out in my head, my life...basically I've got to rebuild myself from the ground up before I can get to where I need to go on. So until I post again, I'm going to have give LJ a break so I can find out what I have to do. I don't know if I'm going to come back so....yeah. I love you guys on my f-list. Stay awesome, okay?

After I post this, I'm packing up my computer for the cargo people who are going to ship everything back to Dundee. This is why I wish I had a laptop sometimes: I could carry it as handluggage on the train and have the whole weekend to surf/chat/game one last time.

And come the next Wednesday I'm taking the train back and the next day we're all going off on a plane to South Africa for the whole summer. I don't know when I'll be back or how often I can pop back in. Hell, I don't even know if I'm going to be in the U.K. or the U.S. or even sodding Canada come October. Everything's in flux and I don't quite know where I'm gonna be or what I'll be doing in a few months.

But this isn't goodbye: not an iota. Just a bit of a farewell for now. It's probably because I have little friends IRL so I do love every one of you, even if you don't read or comment or anything ^+^

Well....later. Email me often (I'll try to reply! AND PLEASE OH PLEASE tell me what happens in Doctor Who and Top Gear!) and....well, yes.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS GOOD.

I admit it, I wibbled like a baby when Lee tried to call for Donna before he got teleported. I like that he's real after all. This opens up the possibility that Donna WON'T die at the end of the season as some people think, and that Lee's going to be her Tom Milligan.

River Song sounds....well, she sounds a bit like Rose but obviously more special because she's the only companion/non Time Lord person to whom the Doctor's told her name. Maybe she needed to say his name to bring him back from certain death a la Tinkerbell. "I do believe in Time Lords, I do, I do!"

>.>

Also they're shippy. Doctor/River are so shippy it hurts. ("Why do you even have handcuffs?!" "Spoilers ;) )" Hell, maybe she is a Time Lady and he ended up falling in love with her. Ah, but what the hell.

I figured out that the little girl was the main part of the Library a while back. That was fairly predictable.

BUT OMG DONNA D: Donna was so awesome. Even when she was trapped in there a part of her knew it wasn't real. I cried a bit when her kids disappeared. I mean yeah they're not real and those seven years of memories were fake but they WERE memories. Ach, what my Donna goes through T_T

The last few seconds of the ending made me jump behind my couch though. When everything seems all sweetness and light, then River goes "Sweet dreams, everyone," like she's talking to the audience, and then darkness.

...Yeah, sleeping with my lamp on again D:

But do you know what my abiding memory of this is? I'm now picturing Keith Moon in the place of Doctor Moon, protecting CAL by throwing cherry bombs and drumsticks at the Doctor, gently reassuring Donna that she's fully integrated into the computer's faux society before driving off in his milk float hovercraft, dressed in drag.

My brain's in a weird place today.

2008-05-25T21:00:18Z

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions

1. What's been your favourite Chappers-fangirling moment?
Oooh, I don't know. A toss up between the softcore reading of the Big Weekend T&C, and THE SUIT in Football Italiano. Oooh yum....

2. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Rome, Italy. I'd like to be taken there by my intended, if ye pardon the expression ^^

3. Chappers, Tennant, Gareth David-Lloyd: Marry, Shag, Push off a cliff?
*whine*

Aw, no fair! D:

Er......Marry Gareth cos as far as I know he's still single. Er....~~why can't I shag them both?~~ shag Chappers. I'm so sorry David, but I think I prefer Mancunians this time around. :(

4. Is there anything about your life you would change and, if so, what?
I'd change the decision I made a few years ago, when I was applying to university. I had a choice to stay in England or go to America, and I stayed here because I didn't think I was ready for the cultural and geographical divide. In hindsight I should have gone...

5. What's your favourite food?
Bar my mum's cooking? I like to eat grilled sweet potatoes with grilled lambchops in a spicy marinade ^^. I only make it on the weekends when I have time to stand in the kitchen for a couple of hours.

x

On another note, I watched Desperado the other day. Bloody hell but Antonio Banderas was hot. I mean, he still has some of that sultry Latino thing going on but twelve years ago? Fecking hell. I never did realize (being too young to lust over him, let alone watch Desperado) but...man.

*_*

"An afternoon of agony and ecstasy."

I stayed up until 5:30 last night watching old Bollywood movies and playing Mario Kart Wii with my kid sister. Now my sleeping pattern is out of whack but you know what? I don't mind, because for the first time in many years I saw the sun rise and it was quite beautiful. I'm tempted to do it again tonight, though not Nancy. She's knackered :P

In happier news, mmm Chappers! He's wearing that grey jacket ensemble this week and when the show started the last button wasn't done so you could just see his belt. It looked nice, in that easily removable way.

Mmm, Chappers.

Doctor Who 4.06

2008-05-10T19:01:38Z

Soo.....well.

Yes.

I read spoilers for this episode already and whoever posted it had it down to a TEE. So I was prepared (although, who wasn't? She was either going to do her own thing or just add to the Doctor's body count. And we got both anyway.....) for the yawningly boring death scene. At least no Rose this time (unless I'm missing something from that creation myth. Bad Wolf after-effect, maybe?)

So let's get down to the one crucial thing.

Jenny? OMFG SUCH A MARY SUE IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. TINKERBELL BUFFY DOES NOT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HER, especially in regards to THAT ENDING. Going off on a spaceship, plucky little Jenny off to right wrongs and save worlds.

....Except she doesn't know about all the INFINITE COSMIC POWAHS a Time Lord has. She couldn't even regenerate when she took that bullet for dear old Dad (ALSO: who wants to bet that now that we know the Doctor had multiple children at some point, there's going to be even MORE! Son/Daughter Stus and Sues running around the Whoniverse, now with extra 'We are semi-canon ZOMFG!!111" power?), she can't mind-read, she doesn't seem that smart and she's not even half aware of the secrets of the universe and all!

....And yet some evil thing is telling me that somehow she'll muddle it through like the Doctor. Not with wee gadgets or smarts, but maybe a cute little smile followed by a boot to the face (but not lethal! Oh no, let's not EVER use force at all!) And that same thing is also telling me that she'll somehow find her way to Earth (maybe regenerated as well, unless Georgia wants the role full-time) and Jack will find her and then she'll be the new Torchwood member along with either Martha or Rose. So now we'll have TWO super immortals that can kick ass, and the horrible notion that Jack may satisfy his UST with the Doctor using her and ew ew ew my brain ew.

The episode was....par. Just par for the course. In fact, not even par or sub-par. Poor, very very poor. That whole warring thing with colonial descendants and deification of technology reminded me far too much of 'The Face of Evil.' Not even Donna or Martha (who was ONCE again kidnapped early in the episode and really didn't do anything other than turn up when the others did. RTD, you promised us kick-arse Martha this season. You have lied once more, you fucking prick) can outshine this...this terrible Mary Sue. She's like a bloody Doctor Who fanfic caricature sprung to life! I mean...just.....GRAH.

Never, EVER again, RTD. Minus infinity points for EVERYTHING, especially for the way you've treated Martha AGAIN. Yes, I know she's not a companion anymore but damnit at least give her something to do other than get kidnapped and scream and cry and just...turn up conveniently! Even the Donna/Martha squaring up and giving the Doctor a hard time was done just once, in The Sontaran Strategem!

This...this isn't even a stitch-up job, it's a fucking hatchet job. I'm not even going to download the episode to watch again, because I DON'T wanna watch it again. I'm gonna put it out of my mind (unless I need yet another reason to bitch about New Who ;P) and focus on what (I HOPE) is the awesome of AGATHA FUCKING CHRISTIE and Donna wearing a flapper outfit. Because YES.

I really hope Chappers is on TV this weekend. Bad enough I had to go through Friday without his dulcet tones. Football Italiano isn't just the same if it's only La Bella Boobs McGee on there.

On a more cracky tone:

This post FTW

If the Beeb somehow manage to get Aishwarya Rai to play the Rani (that is, if the Rani is making an appearance at all), I will forgive RTD 99.99% of EVERYTHING (I say 99.99% because Season 3!Martha is unforgivable) and bask in the HOTNESS. Because YES.

Doctor Who 4.05

2008-05-03T18:23:43Z

Okay RTD, so maybe my little rant was a bit unwarranted. UNIT weren't such raging arseholes, but gee whiz the Doctor could reign in his bloody "I HATE GUNS RAWR" mongering. Plus is it just me or was the episode writeen by an ecomentalist? "If you don't stop polluting the earth will need to be PURIFIED BY FLAMES in order for us to survive!"

However there was a distinct lack of Donna's Magnificent Breasts, thus I still think you're a plonker, so the tag stays :P

Grandpa Wilf made me cry, especially at the end. Plus, how cool is Donna's mum that she had a fucking axe?

Also, was it me or was that Rose in the fucking TARDIS console?

Not a bad episode. Tied everything up nicely, even if the ending (right until the TARDIS decided that Martha could say fuck off to Tom) was a tad predictable, with Luke blowing them all up. How is it that almost every human villain redeems themselves at the end yet all the aliens are killed off? Human beings aren't that freaking special, RTD!

One thing I liked the Doctor's fanboy reaction to The Valiant being used for good, and the UNIT dude being all "Is that testosterone I detect?" and the Doctor being all "Eh, what are you on about? >_>"

That was nice SFX at the end, with the whole freaking sky on fire. I hesitate to use this word, on account of Tinkerbell Jesus but it was very...biblical. Although, wouldn't the people have trouble breathing (I mean, more so than usual) on account of the oxygen being on fire?

I for one can't wait for next week. Fuck, Peter Davidson's (That's the 5th Doctor) actual daughter playing The Doctor's daughter. She's so cute too, like a pixie Buffy. My brother reckons that she's in fact a clone. We've got 50 quid riding on this so RTD - and I never ever thought I'd be saying this - Sue her up please!

Listening to DW Confidential now. OMFG ELISABETH SLADEN AND COLIN BAKER.

Doing this quickly so I can catch Law & Order this evening. I'm still feeling sad pangs about Jerry Orbach being dead and all, but the show is too awesome to ignore. Plus Jack McCoy's the sexiest lawyer on television. After Alan Shore, of course ;-)

I've just seen Ratatouille for the first time. I bought it on DVD and I've been in a mood for a while so I thought "Eh, typical Disney film. Should make me feel passably human afterwards."

Instead I feel like how I felt when I was wee, after watching a really good Disney movie like Beauty & The Beast, or The Little Mermaid or heck, even Toy Story. It's been a while since a Disney movie has made me feel like this. Well technically Pixar, but still. The Incredibles was awesome but my reaction to it was more "Fuck yeah!" than.....well, I don't think I can describe it well enough. I feel like I'm seven all over again, back in those days when I wasn't aware of how cold this world can be.

So....I feel quite....for lack of a better word: "cherub-y." I'm gonna go and dig up my copy of The Lion King now. It makes me cry, but I like how I feel right now and I want some more of it ^_^

This edition of Italian football isn't as bad as the last one. For one thing, it's about three hours long which means a live match, which might mean commentary(!). For another, Chappers and Boobs McGee (I know her name is Laura, but I like Boobs McGee a lot and I'm still jealous she gets to be in the same room as him!) have been on a lot longer than yesterday. Even if it is just twice every fifteen minutes, that's still a lot of time to sigh over Chopper in that sexy black ensemble he's wearing.

Mmmm............

I'm still horribly confused about who's winning and what have you and I'd much rather curl up and watch The 10th Kingdom, but damnit the hormones will out!

Doctor Who 4.04

2008-04-26T18:49:03Z

Right then.

RATTIGAN ACADEMY?!! XD XD XD XD XD XD XD. Man, I so wanted all that kid genius' little minions to start singing "Oh Rattigan!" from The Great Mouse Detective. That would be just gold. The little guy struck me as a sort of mouse-faced (sorry) Seth Cohen-type character. They should TOTALLY have got Adam Brody for this!

Overall, not a bad episode. Liked the action, liked the Martha/Donna interaction ("Oh, you're getting married!" "Yeah, to a doctor. How funny is that?" "He's not skinny like this mug, is he?" "No, he's quite ~~excellent in bed~~ strong." "You know, I wish you two would start fighting now."). And Martha was awesome right until she got kidnapped and cloned. WTF? At least let her be awesome for half the episode! Plus the plot isn't that bad. I LOL'ed at the part where Donna told Ten she was leaving, and he was being all "OMG DONNA HOW CAN YOU LEAVE ME IT'S TOO SOON I'LL MISS YOUUU *EMOEMOEMO*.....oh wait, you're just popping round for tea?"

".....You're a fucking idiot, you know that, Doctor?"

I will watch it next week, so it's good.

..........

Who the hell am I kidding? It's good....aside from the complete ass-raping RTD did to UNIT.

"I don't like people with guns, they're the bad guys." WHAT THE EVER LOVING HELL?! So they weren't the bad guys whilst you had Tom Baker's magnificently sexy form? They're the bad guys now, when everyone knows aliens exist and they don't want to be INVADED AGAIN like the Sycorax thing? They're the bad guys for having guns?! Man, that's terrible. Those awful, civilian-bullying, baby beating UNIT bastards. You'd think they were part of military intelligence the way they acted....OH WAIT HOLD ON NOW.

I get the need to update them for modern times, but really did you have to lay it on so thick, RTD? UNIT's portrayal in this episode practically screams "We are going to be complete assholes for the rest of the season and thus serve as a vehicle on how 'peaceful' Ten is (BAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHUT I think the Family of Blood and the Racnoss would disagree) and how Torchwood is brilliant in comparison to our idiocy and gung-ho attitude."

I'm 1000% positive that Martha's gonna see UNIT for what it is - completely evil and/or useless and stubborn - and end up joining Capt. Jack's Torchwood come the end of Season 4, just cos Torchwood is SO much better and RTD can't bear for anything to outshine his creations (Rose, anyone?). And UNIT will get a most ignomius sending off and it'll all be the Doctor's fault but NOT REALLY, like with Harriet Jones which led to THE MASTER but it wasn't his fault AND ON TOP OF THAT HE WANTED TO KEEP HIM ALIVE REGARDLESS OF THE DANGER TO THE WHOLE FREAKING UNIVERSE.

FUCK YOU. JUST....FUCK YOU RUSSELL T DAVIES. I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU.

*cuddles Old Who episodes where everything was AWESOME*

Listening to DW Confidential now. They're using "War" for the UNIT section now, and DT is being all "The Doctor's relationship with UNIT has always being ambiguous. They use guns a lot, he doesn't quite like that." WTH? I mean yeah, back in the day I know that Three hated working with them as part of his exile and all, but watching Four interact with them you don't get that so-called ambiguity. He won't stick around on Earth yeah, but once something happens he and UNIT work together and save the world! The Doctor RARELY complained about UNIT's use of violence. If anything he berated them mainly because they didn't act quick enough, or sometimes fucked up and he had to fix things, but NEVER was it about their use of violence.

Just....GRAH. Fuck you RTD. Have I mentioned that yet?

Also if he kills Donna's grandfather I will be a sad panda :(

.....I'm still going to watch it though. UNIT and That Person aside, Donna and Martha are awesome. And Ten still has his moments.

Just...get used to me ranting a lot if this episode is any indication of the future :P

Listening to Radio 1, I just remembered that Heroes Season 2 starts tonight. Can't say I'm excited, on account of having watched it all earlier this year.

I might watch it all over again though. I've missed Hiro's adorable squishy face so. And there won't be any of that hypertension I got when I started watching the first season ("OMG THE BRAIN EATER NOOO DDD:"). I can sit serenely whilst my siblings cower and pray that their favourites survive.

Am considering telling David that Nikki/Jessica might have possibly bitten the big one in the season finale. But then he might taunt me about Nathan ;_;

Doctor Who 4.03

2008-04-19T18:27:10Z

All righty then.

This episode, I liked. I mean, it was formulaic a bit, following the trend of "See new companion. See new companion travel to the past. See new companion travel to the future. See new companion go back home to deal with more aliens. Run, new companion, run."

But it was nice. It gave the Ood a bit of a backstory (am I a geek for wanting a copy of both Ood songs on my iPod?), and it wasn't completely focused on the Doctor. I quite liked Donna's reaction of "Oh Gods, everyone's so horrible, I wanna go home ;_;" too. I didn't like that she decided to stay with him though. Come on Rusty! Don't give us something awesome like Donna pointing out what a fucking god complex the Doctor has, and then have her be all "LOL it's okay, where next? :D :D :D"

But I loved the ending. It's quite a change from the emo that was "Fires of Pompeii."

And I liked the way they dealt with the head honcho there. His loyal Ood Sigma, all submissive and ever pouring hair tonic into him.

OOD: "Would you like a drink, sir?"
HH (getting ready to shoot the Doctor): "What?! Not now!"
OOD: "Please have a drink, sir [insert evil little grin where tentacles are, cos I'm sure he was grinning quite evilly here]"
ME and HH and the Doctor: ".......:O!!!!"

Everything was awesome except for that cryptic bit at the end of the Doctor's "...song ending soon." It's either another "Rose is returning, fall on your knees and despair/worship!" (which brings up the rather awful possibilty that the Doctor's had some Joy Division/My Chemical Romance-esque lament in his head since Rose left :/ ) or a hint that maybe this current incarnation of the Doctor is gonna wave goodbye at the end of the season.

PLUS OMFG MARTHA! MARTHA! MARTHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, yeah OMFG MARTHA but I don't like how UNIT's been portrayed in the preview. They're basically the Army in red caps now, plus I didn't like Donna's comment of "So you turned her [Martha, presumably] into a soldier, did you?"

A lovely person on my f-list at JF said that she thinks Rusty's going to turn UNIT into this gung-ho, anti-peace, "We r humans, blow everything up!" type organisation and put them at odds with the Doctor, all so that Torchwood will look better in comparision, and then Martha will leave and join Torchwood (I love you Martha, but YOU'RE NOT TOSH OR OWEN ;_;). I...don't think I'd like that. I've been watching old Who episodes and I quite like UNIT as they're portrayed, especially the Brigadier and Harry. Rusty, don't ruin UNIT. Just because Torchwood's fairly dumb doesn't mean you have to crap on the legacy of Classic Who D:

...I'll still watch it. If I'm wrong, I'll get kick-ass!Martha and hot DT and Donna's awesome boobies. If I'm right, I'll have something to bitch about on my journal :P
