STFU UNCOOL BAKER! Also, Tennant-as-clown warning. o.O

Vali and I finished watching the last ep of Sapphire and Steel. Now THAT was a behind the sofa moment. L'eep. O_O Now I have to listen to the Big Finish Audios.

Now we're watching songvids to bring us back into the realm of light and love.

Speaking of songvids, why hasn't anyone done a Who vid to No Pussy Blues? Vali and I go about the house going Whoo! Damn! at odd moments. What are you looking at me for, saying I should do it myself? I have all the technical know-how to knit socks and that's about it.

If I knew how to vid I'd do a Doctor Who one to Ferraby Lionheart's Small Planet. Not simply 'he loves them all' but 'he's in love with everything Earth' vibe. Seriously, with a name like Ferraby Lionheart you have no choice but to steal the mellow folk sensation mantle away from Roger Whittaker. Vali bought me the album for Christmas and it is the perfect thing to listen to after a long day at the reference desk. Sweet, gentle, but not so syrupy as to put you into a diabetic coma.

And now Vali and jonquil are working on the FAQ for their latest project. When they're both in busy workerbee mode I can't help but imagine them both as chibis, tips of their tongues poking out of their mouths. Occasionally it ends with one of them tipping over the others crayon cup, then pushing, shoving, and little cartoon fight clouds before they collapse into a sweet little puppy-pile heap. <3

I have a chess set just like the one from the final Sapphire & Steel.

Alas, when I open it, it's just a chess set.

Just it's just like their chess set at the end, then. Man that ending was spooky.

I have a travel Scrabble set. It is made of win.

Sapphire & Steel have been assigned.

Isn't Sapphire & Steel great? Slow to get going but once it gets going holy cats, watch out. Between this, Blake's 7 and the rotation of Doctors, the late 70s/early 80s was a damn fine time for British science-fiction. Hell, I'll even throw in The Tomorrow People for good measure.

Absolutely! Most of my favorite books and films are ones that start slow and build. One of my favorite book memories was reading A Place of Greater Safety, every lunch hour for a whole summer. I was in a really stressful job and getting involved in a complex adventure really helped.

I've got a Doctor+Earth, 4Evah! vid planned (though to a different song) eventually...sadly my ideas for it are beyond my current tech capability so it's simmering until that catches up. Someday, someone is going to invent the "Make This Vid In My Head" button. This whole having to make the things ourselves is really unfair.

Also I pointed at violetisblue and laughed.

With the little HA-HAH voice from that one character from The Simpsons? (yes i live under a rock)

I imagine Vali-chibi looking rather like this:



and then I rillyrillyrilly want to see the omake page where the Vali/Jonquil squabble takes place.

I imagine Vali-chibi looking rather like this:

Oh, God, so do I!

Don't tell her I said that.

[roxann-ireland.livejournal.com]

And since she did write that zombie novel, holding the skull (did you see she's holding a skull in her wee chibi hands?) would not be totally out of character.

(That's actually Sunako from Wallflower, which amuses me, so I buy it, and then irritates me so I sell it.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I knows. It's one of the few manga I'll buy new.

[viedma.livejournal.com]

Shhhhh. She won't read down this far so we're safe.

ME TOO. They are so cute I wanz to squeeze them. Well, I can squeeze one but not the other, alas.

[roxann-ireland.livejournal.com]

Is it geographic distance or mere good manners that prevents the secondary squeezage? Perhaps you could get special dispensantion of a single instance of squeezing.
