Hi everyone!

What's new?

Lalalalala

Does anyone actually use LJ any more?

Shall I use this more?

2014-01-12T18:54:51Z

Now that I have an app?

I've gotten the app

2014-01-11T19:00:15Z

I don't know why.

Happy Christmas!

2013-12-23T21:32:46Z

It's my once a year post!

Happy Christmas.
Merry New Year!
And all that rot.

:D

Merry Christmas!

2012-12-25T06:17:45Z

And a happy new year!

OMG...another post

2012-08-12T08:13:55Z

not sure why. It's not like I don't already have a blog. Or two.

Actually, 3, but one is just for testing Blogger so I know how it works in case a client needs it.

What's new?

It's been, like a year and a half

2012-08-06T07:04:22Z

So I thought I'd say hi.

Hi!

I still have a son. He's 3.

We now live in a house. Rented.

I still freelance.

In fact, if anyone needs an online media specialist, I'm looking for clients...

Happy Birthday Simon! Love you!

Anyone who still likes Sara Palin after this week

2011-01-12T20:14:51Z

is as big an idiot as she is proving herself to be, over and over again.

Shut up lady. Now! I am sick of hearing from you.

I haven't actually read this

2010-12-15T07:46:56Z

because when I saw it was over 240 posts I lost the will to live, but apparently it's about me and something I said on Simon's LJ:

http://penny-lane-42.livejournal.com/184247.html

I am highly amused. Nay, I am laughing at their ability to take offence at what some stranger said about a TV show that isn't even on the air at the moment. The only person allowed, IMHO, to be mad at me for not listening to his 'please don't make this about shippers' request is Simon. And he *was* annoyed, until I pointed out the following, which he already knew:-

I am not a Spangel or a Spuffy or a Ruffy or a Puffy or whatever the hell stupid shit these people call their OTP.

The only OTP is Jack/Ianto. Which, so far as I can remember, I have never referred to as Janto because I think it just looks like you don't know how to spell Ianto's name.

But if someone where to tell me that Jack didn't love Ianto? I'd shrug. I don't care what they think. I think he did.

So my questions, random people who have and will never meet me from the internet, why do you care so fucking much what I think? Oh to truly have this much power...

I hate Stephen King!!

Writer's Block: Cold turkey

On 18th October 2008 I quit smoking, cold turkey.

37 weeks and 6 days later, Adam was born.

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episodes 12 and 13

2010-06-28T07:09:02Z

So I decided to write about the 2 part finale altogether.

OMG He shot Amy!!!!!! I happen to like Amy, although I do think at times they have her act out of character, like when she was all over the doctor in her room. And at the end of this when she wanted to snog him during her wedding. But it was still shocking that Rory shot her.

Never mind the shock that Rory was there. Leon was (sort of) right. It wasn't just that his death didn't make enough of an impact. It was more that they needed to get him to ancient Rome!

I had no idea the Pandorica was *for* the Doctor. As opposed to having something inside of it that even the Doctor had never heard about. Although Simon's theory was that there would be an earlier incarnation of the Doctor was a good one, I knew it couldn't be as they are *horrible* at hiding guest stars!

As for Part II - I think I counted 10 paradoxes in the first 10 minutes. I realize they 'fixed' most of them just after they were all in the museum, but they were still there.

I thought it was a very good ending to a half way decent series. They left plenty open for the next series (I still think the voice in the TARDIS sounded like William Hartnell. No idea what they might do with *that*!).

And now we wait until Christmas...

Writer's Block: Planet friendly

2010-06-27T18:09:17Z

Ooh, one of the topics that gets me into trouble.

Do I believe in global warming? Absolutely.

Do I think we can fix it? Nope.

I think anything *we* think we can do to save this planet that has been here for millions of years is ridiculous and unnecessary.

Will we kill off the human race? Possibly.

But another one will come along.

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 10 and 11

2010-06-13T08:12:28Z

Okay, so I forgot about last week. Sorry.

I have always found it fascinating how Doctor Who is the one time travel show that *never* seems to worry about changing the past, except for 'fixed moments in time' i.e. Vesuvius erupting. And they did it again, by showing Van Gogh that he is world famous, eventually.

And I would say that leoff was not correct in his comments on my last post in saying that Rory's death had no affect. I'd say it had a very big affect, if Amy is sad. And Van Gogh could sense it. And she cried. And The Doctor said Rory's name.

Leading to the ending of this week's ep, an ep that was very very good, with Amy finding the ring and, possibly, beginning to remember.

See I don't think she's forgotten at all. I think something is blocking it. The same something that is blocking a memory of The Doctor returning when she was a little girl. A return that I think we will see in the next two eps as what ever is blocking her memory is released.

And so we gear up for the finale.

Was that a quick series *or* what?!?!

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 8 and 9

2010-06-01T15:26:19Z

I didn't write about the first part because I thought it was just okay. Decent monster of the week stuff, wasn't sure it was worth two parts.

And then...

HOLY CRAP.

They killed Rory. They actually killed him. And then erased him from the universe. HOLY CRAP.

I will say this for the Even Newer Who - its much darker.

After all, there was almost peace between the whatever the heck they were called and the humans. Until one woman killed another. And now we have to wait a 1000 years.

And then they killed Rory. And the big question is - does The Doctor remember him?

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 7

2010-05-19T14:53:32Z

Eh. It was just okay.

Interesting that Amy realized she does love Rory. I still maintain the throwing herself at the Doctor thing was out of character.

Not sure the Dreamlord was really The Doctor.

Was kinda sure both realities were false.

Just a blah episode, really.

And I am trying to remember next weeks preview, but I can't seem to pull it out of my brain. So that must have been something to remember...

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 6

2010-05-11T19:25:57Z

So. Amy's boy.

At first I thought, crap another Mickey. And then he really grew on me. Fairly smart and held his own, even when shit scared.

It was a pretty good ep, although I want to know what is going to happen to all of the creatures in the waters around Venice. Simon thinks they will just starve to death.

I like how even the monster of the week eps have the overall arc in them in a very obvious way. I mean, Russell T had Torchwood mentioned in every ep before it premièred, but it was very subtle. These cracks are effecting *everything*!

Next week looks a bit similar to 'Turn Left' with Donna, except with the Doctor involved.

As for our Boy Band Doctor? He's growing on me. Sort of.

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 5

2010-05-03T19:55:05Z

Excellent episode. Lots going on.

I would have to agree that when we saw Amy sitting on her suitcase, at 7, just before the Doctor came back, when she was her age now, that she was about to remember. He did see her again at 7. And why she can't remember is why she can't remember Daleks or Cybermen or the battle of Canary Wharf.

I think what's his face's badge said 1990 because it was the year of his birth.

For the record? My mom and step-dad's anniversary is 26th June. But not 2010. :o)

I am beginning to wonder if River is *not* his wife but something else all together. Just not sure what. And I wonder why/how she kills him...

Was that the longest trailer ever for next week? Do we even need to see the ep?

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 4

2010-04-28T07:17:25Z

First of all, I love love love the Weeping Angels. I think they are way scarier than the Daleks or the Cybermen or anything else we've ever seen. Don't even blink...

It was, overall, a decent episode, except that I find the River Song hints and what have you really annoying. And I think The Time Travellers Wife did it better. Because, really? Its the same thing.

But I also want to say that anyone who thinks Amy becomes River? Needs to pay closer attention to the world. I mean, REALLY! How silly.

Oh and I love that the Church is now an army!! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I am sure it will all come out right in the end. It always does.

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 3

2010-04-18T07:00:58Z

Well, that was quite good, although, personally, I am a bit sick of the Daleks. Some new monsters, please!

Simon's theory as to why Amy doesn't remember: a security badge in the first ep said 1990. So he thinks The Doctor picked Amy up in 1990. Despite 2010 tech. I don't buy it. What do they do, reissue badges every year? Personally, any time I've had a security badge with my name on it for a job, its had the year of issue on it. Not the current year.

I think it has to do with the cracks.

Anyway, River is back next week. And the Weeping Angels. Awesome!

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 2

2010-04-12T08:38:48Z

Meh.

Would have been better later in the series when she knew him better. She made an awful lot of assumptions based on almost no data.

Had a bit of Tennant's Doctor there when he went 'Weeeelll...'

I really really really hate the new music and the new credits. Get over the 3D obsession people!

Next week had better be better. I am losing hope a bit.

Doctor Who - Series 5 - Episode 1

2010-04-04T17:59:38Z

Totally predicted his not returning in 5 minutes, that the aliens meant the planet and that she had to be back the next morning to get married.

Still not sure I like Boy Band Doctor.

It was a fun episode and I'll, of course, give the series a chance. But I didn't adore it or anything.

If I can predict 3 major plot points? Its not a good plot.
