Swollen throat. OW OW OW.

Oh boy. There are Doctor Who episode reactions everywhere and they all make me cackle unpleasantly. I can't help it! I wish I cared more about the fandom because then I could participate but I just don't care enough. My only comment is that I like Martha and fandom, batshit though you are, you're also pretty amusing.

My Deadwood DVDs arrived, huzz! So. That's what I'll be up to in the near future. Also: someone on the fflist is currently obsessing over The Magnificent Seven which makes me deliriously happy. That show was Very Special. Very. (*loves*)

Putting an apostrophe in 'flist' goes against my aesthetic sensibilities. I know why people do it, but then try using the genitive and there's a whole party going on. (Like Teal'C's which I can deal with only because of the uppercase C.) My argument is that I long since stopped putting an apostrophe infront of plane, and I've never put one in front of blog. I know 'flist' is the combination of two words and that 'fflist' is actually impossible to pronounce. And yet: no apostrophe in 'flist' because I use it like a combination of two words to make a new one, not a contraction.

I've been thinking about this too much.

Am apparently having a bluegrass revival, what?

Today was odd. The Rents went to this Rotary Club thing and left The Sister and me at home. We decided we'd have pizza his evening so went into town to buy pizza bases &c. Whilst walking we talked about: fandom, the weirdness of some pairings and the craziness that is Doctor Who. (The wank is still going, oy, possibly because broadcast is spreading slowly through the world via Those Means.) In fact the walk back basically involved my sister talking and my randomly inserting, "Maaaaarfaaaaa!" into the conversation. Good times.

New header. Two versions, on rotate. Pablo Neruda equals for the win.

The rents returned earlier than expected and so we lounged about before making the evening meal. I am now about to watch the second episode of Deadwood which I already love. (Amusingly, ITV3 showed an episode of The Magnificent Seven today and it had PETER FIRTH in it. I've seen the episode before but I didn't realise he was in it. This must have been back when he was doing the circuit in the US because I'm pretty certain he's been on an episode of L&O, too.)

Whilst chopping veg for said pizza, Rod Stewart was singing for tha Diana concert that's been on all damn day. Maggie! And then my favourite: Baby Jane. Yay.

I'll Fly Away by Gillian Welch (ft. Alison Krauss) from O Brother, Where Art Thou? has one of the best harmonies in it ever. Another one is The Be Good Tanyas' version of The Littlest Birds. well, I love you so dearly, I love you so clearly / I wake you up in the morning so early / just to tell you I got the wandering blues / I got the wandering blues / and I'm going to quit these rambling ways / one of these days soon &hearts.

Dude: numb3rs_meta. Have joined to see what comes next. Hopefully will be an interesting place.

edit: Apparently the day didn't change from one end to another because this is today's second post and it's basically a reiteration of the first. Except without a mini-manifesto on apostrophes.
