Leaving aside the ~*~edgy~*~ casting of Kess -

WAS THAT EVERTON ON MY TV?

"Where are the Doctor & Donna?"

"They legged it, Mr.Halpern."

Digging frantically for my Chef! dvds before I even make breakfast.

Wanted to say something about the Torchwood finale, but... *sniff*... it's going to have to wait a few.

Instead, I'll go with the new Doctor Who.

( General reactions, vaguely spoilery )

Day 3, stuck at home with the flu. Bored, sleep deprived and feverish is gonna lead to trouble.

How did I not know Ani Difranco has a whole bunch of live stuff available through righteousbabe? $10 a pop is making for some strong temptation. And I could replace the 'Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right' tshirt I wore to shreds.

Oh, Jack Lessenberry. I love you, you cranky old pinko.

Rewatched S1 New Who. I still love Empty Child/The Doctor Dances with a passion. Drama and The Funny both! Love Nancy, and her 'Do your ears have special powers too?' Nine's desperate defense of his screwdriver? The Spock thing? Many LOLS, people. And then I skipped The Parting of the Ways. Again. Will watch it... someday. Just don't want to say goodbye to Nine.

Next up is The Sontaran Experiment. Is that a Space Rhino I see on the cover art?

And on the heels of the latest lj_biz post, (Thanks to everybody who linked) I'd also suggest replacing your Hosts file if you use a Win machine. Just one more way of frustrating adware/spyware and other unseen web data miners and parasites. I use the one available from mvps.org. Good info there also.

Time for more toast and tea. Boo, toast and tea. You so boring.


ETA No space rhinos to report - Judoon only dress like Sontarans. But they do have automated bondage.

Witness my complete failure to update in a regular fashion. Wow - a month? D-, self.

I'll just bring the random, then.

- brownbetty has a great post here about the latest on the Jena Six. It should be read and spread far and wide.

- Loved Blink so much. Creepy and twisty and clever. Joining the Moffat fangirling now.

- Happy to see BBC-AM isn't gutting the Gay out of Torchwood. Still love my cheesy, cracky, pterodactyl in the office show.

- I have my first new pair of Converse in a decade. They have flames. Shoes met with a mixture of headshaking and snickering. All ya all can bite me. Chucks are classic! And it's not like you weren't well aware of my inability to dress myself. I've been wearing nothing but 501s since God invented the button-fly.

- My dog seems to have developed an interest in the new lady dog in the neighborhood. She's a pretty, young rottweiler. He's... a chihuahua. I don't see it working out the way he hopes.

- Rewatching my old World Series dvd, and the '68 chapter still gets me teary. I want it to be required viewing for all the newer Tigers' fans. See? This is how we do it - pull something fantastic outta nowhere when you've abandoned all hope. No, we're not going to the WS this October - Detroit only does that every two decades. Our ballclub is 106 years old and this is how we roll. Kick back, enjoy the *whole* season, and wait for 2026.

And be happy we're not still sporting the circa 1980 Away uniforms.

- Stevie Wonder has a new album in the works, hopefully released on his Mother's birthday in January, including covers of some of her favorites. What could be better than that?

He's always been able to hit my tiny bulletproof Romantic target dead on.

So I'll leave you with 'Uptight' mixed with the Clash.

My favorite thing about being Late to the Doctor Who Party? Huge backlog of Show to watch.

Previously on The Adventures of Seven and Ace(!!!) ...

Remembrance of the Daleks

I'm full of Ace love. And I want a sweater like Seven's.

The Good - My Mom was born on one, once upon a time. Excellent joke fodder.

The Bad - That one time we got Hurricaned.

This one brought Doctor Who dvds, so I'm putting it in The Good.

I've got Series 2 with Ten, plus City of Death with Four and Remembrance of the Daleks with Seven (and ACE!). In the Unfortunate Timing Department, I have to leave for work way too soon to indulge in quality Doctor basking.

But when I get home? Time for Shakespeare Code on SciFi, and then hunting down the Dalek/Cybermen Bitchfight from Doomsday.

Happy Birthday thehornedgod!

Best wishes for a terrific and Dalek-free day.
