Some of my movies came early! I can attend the tale of Sweeney Todd! Or at least a DVD recording in which Patti Lapone and Doogie Houser Neil Patrick Harris sing! *so excited!*

Sending me to the library is almost as dangerous as sending me to a bookstore, though at least it has less fiscal changes. I have, at present: a Spenser mystery (yay), both The Chocolate War and Beyond the Chocolate War because those were kids books I missed out on, Mr. Sebastian and the Negro Magician because it sounded fascinating, an "illustrated novel" ala Nick Bantock by Barbara Hodgson, some mathy/sciencey fiction book that reminded me of parts of the Entangled Particles SGA AU (both shamefaced and amused by that one, but hey! it had math on the cover! maybe Rodney wrote it!) and then I couldn't take any more because I wanted to be able to walk home.

I was listening to the_oscar_cat's Nantucket AU podfics on the way there and back, and it made me sad that I had to stop in the middle of Doghouse, when John is being such an idiot. Oh well.

On the reality front, Labyrinth gave the job to somebody else with actual experience, which isn't too much of a shocker. I got to sub all last week and will at Forest this Thursday and Friday, so it's a work in progress.

Got to watch the most recent episode of Stargate: Atlantis and thought Teyla rocked. Was sad to see so little of John and Rodney. Keller is making me happier, though at the time she annoyed me. Sorry?

This weekend's episode of Torchwood made me fall in love with Owen a little bit, and seriously, does Jack have to hit on everybody? (Answer: Yes.) I really think I'd like this show more if I enjoyed Gwen; I really just find her annoying. Sigh.

Think I might take a shower to wash some of the "eh" feeling away, the residual of the cold that will not die. Though, as I say this, now my L key is. Dammit.

Oh, libraries. ♥ Oh, books. ♥♥♥

Sorry you didn't get the Labyrinth job. :( At least you are getting subbing jobs though.

Yeah, by the time they decided who was getting the job, I was sort of okay with it; especially because I know that I don't have the experience, so I wouldn't be that comfortable teaching it. So onward and upward. Or something ;o)

*is shouted out*

thank you!

XD <3 <3

Also, I am mesmerized by your icon and John's shirt cuffs. Mmm...

I know... I tried so hard to be okay with Gwen, and make allowances for the fact that she was clearly written not only as the viewers' in on the world but as a bit of a Mary Sue, but by the finale I was just annoyed. I do that with characters - I start thinking, 'Well, it's the writers screwing it up. If she was left to her own devices on the show, I'm sure she'd be okay...'

Also, not enough Ianto. But that's a given.

[flyakate]

I know! And while I appreciated her role in "Out of Time" with the young girl and felt so bad for Owen (who clearly is being a little lax in the telling Gwen they're not together anymore department, but whatever), she's worse than our view in, because she doesn't really bring in much besides whining that gets written off as empathy. So yes, agree with you.

AND WHERE WAS IANTO? Poor Jack was having existential crisis right and left and... Ianto got to take them shopping. Awesome division of duties, guys.

There should always be more Ianto, because he is awesome (and will of course fuck you up XD)

[capedcrusader92.livejournal.com]

I know - sometimes she's okay and I like her or occasionally she's even pretty funny, but then she goes on another of her 'feel, dammit!' rants (when half the time the person is already feeling just fine, thanks) and I get annoyed again.

Also, slight inconsistencies in character on all fronts... but I think that's mostly because the order of the episodes was rearranged like four times and they had originally planned to kill Ianto off in Cyberwoman (so glad they didn't!). So I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. ;-)

Plus... there's such good fanfiction!

[flyakate]

*clings to Ianto* How could they ever think that would be a good idea? I mean, seriously.

Awww, your icon is so cute. Have you seen the "Doctor Who" special episode of the "Weakest Link" on Youtube? It is painfully hysterical and here

[capedcrusader92.livejournal.com]

OMG THAT IS THE AWESOMEST AWESOME OF AWESOME!

[flyakate]

I know, isn't it though? I've honestly watched it at least twice. Jack and the Doctor and Mickey (and K-9!) rock my socks.
