I am loving fandom's response to the latest Doctor Who. Everyone's all "STATUES OHNOEZ. !!1!11!" and it is FABULOUS.

I texted The Flatmate after watching and now she keeps sending me messages that read along the lines of "Tennant + crossbow = otp" which cracks me up. Also: exploding chicken, whoa. (I really love how 'in charge' Martha is. And how she's the one working in the shop. TYPICAL. All he had to do was record a c.5 minute long message, the wanker.)

All of these seem like spoilers. They're really not.

Did you know that Claire Forlani got married yesterday? Well, you do now. And she looked stunningly elegant, all decked up in Italy. (Yes, this is a Random Spam post).

Over the next fortnight, Five will be showing Hiatus Parts 1&2 (NCIS). I love the season 3 closer, but find the first half very, very difficult to watch. Ziva is incredible throughout. And Mike! Mike Franks! I love you, you crazy, crazy old man.

Not just that, though, Five will also be showing S.W.A.K. and Twilight so obviously the next fornight is one of woe where NCIS is concerned. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN ALL THESE BEFORE.

It's the Prison Break season 2 finale on Five tomorrow but considering I haven't seen an episode since Easter (so, 2x10, I think) I'm not too fussed. The Sister and I will likely marathon the second half of the season when her exams are over. Huzz.!

I have no idea what to do today. I'll probably read. Considering I bought A Box of Matches almost three years ago, I really should finish it already. Especially considering it's short and is printed in 12-14pt. But it's so random and not really all that interesting. Next on the list are: Passing for Normal and A Grain of Wheat; then I can get back to The Iliad.

Doctor Who scared the crap out of me. (BUT YAY FOR NCIS. Hiatus scared me too. I need someone to show Doppelganger & The Meat Puzzle agin, because FX skip those ones inexplicably.)

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Me too! And I was in the house by myself, lolz. Awesome, awesome episode. (!!! I am so IN LOVE with this show, it's near unfair.)

[fallapartagain.livejournal.com]

I wasn't alone, but I leapt on the couch with The Mother and spent the rest of the episode using her hand as an eyemask to protect my eyes fom Scary Things.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Hee! I was planning on turning the TV off after watching it but everything in the house was freaking me out. I had to make sure that we didn't have stone statues in doors (we don't - the stone squirrels are outdoors - phew!) and then I LJed and texted people.

[fallapartagain.livejournal.com]

We have stone frogs. Except they're plastic, but they look like stone. They're "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" so one's covering his mouth, one his ears and the other, his eyes. It's cute.

Beware the see no evil one!

I draped a napkin over him. He's on the end of the three.

I will be emailing you about the books and ... trying not to buy an obscene amount. Hee.

NCIS is so good at the woe. As mentioned, I'll be watching Probie today. And possibly Twilight.

*random hugs*

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Hee. Well, let me know so that someone else doesn't grab them via amazon.

It is, it is. Probie! D'aw. I lub that ep.

*hugs*
