Whee!

So what if one of the cats is on a vomiting binge and the other one bound and determined to follow in his footsteps? I've got my monthly box-o-love from Alien Entertainment - although it's a minor miracle it wasn't pinched, given that it's been sitting on my front doorstep since yesterday afternoon.

The latest BFA - The Dark Husband by David Quantick (7th Doctor, Ace & Hex), and the latest Doctor Who Magazine and shiny #1 of Torchwood ditto, and the DWM came with a bonus (and very silly, to judge by the sleeve) audio, featuring the 5th Doctor.

That's a full day's worth of squee, right there! More, if I pace myself!

(Yes, I'm unemployed. Yes, I'm still buying the Monthly Box-o-Love. Take away my fannish stuff and I really will wither - more so than already noted in the other journal)

Furthermore, now that I'm over Friday evening's drunk and Saturday's hangover, I'm prepared to hunker down and finish watching S2 of Torchwood - just as soon as I've laid in a few vital supplies. My husband gets surly if he doesn't eat twice a day...

PS. Once I'm caught up with Torchwood, I'm going to go a-hunting for some new icons for jack_harkness_. I've been avoiding the icon communities for fear of spoilers, you see...

And I really want to get some new icons for this journal, too, but I think that'll have to wait 'til at least DW starts showing over here. Weirdly enough, I don't mind DW spoilery nearly as much...

Torchwood, 2x10 - From Out Of The Rain

As usual, a gut-reaction post and spoilers abound.

Torchwood, 2x11 - Adrift

As usual, spoilers abound.

A Momentary Interlude

Right, so once I'm done with S2 of Torchwood, I'll watch it again, as I know that all I've been doing - all I've had time for - is gut reactions.

I promise, I'll go away and actually think about it for a bit, but I can't guarantee that it'll be a quick, or even particularly insightful, process.

Meanwhile, I need to get my hands on a bargain-basement copy of Life on Mars. The same pal who I've just introduced to Doctor Who and Torchwood has voiced a curiosity. Unfortunately, the only copy I've got is of a) Season 2 and is b) Region 2 (UK/Europe).

(edited to add: bloody! It looks like LoM S1 hasn't even been distributed in the US. Sendit.com has a good price - about $34 at the current exchange rate with shipping but, sigh, it's money I shouldn't be spending. Although at least I'd know it was a legit copy - unlike the B7 fiasco...)
