- I have not seen "The Lodger" yet due to Technical Difficulties - ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
agapi42 and I were intending to go to an outdoor screening of it, but when we got there their box was broken so no Doctor Who for us. Instead we met up with my friend Rhiannon (who was also intending to watch Doctor Who but had been slightly delayed when she stumbled across an unconscious man with a nosebleed lying on the pavement), went for a nice meal and then caught the second half of Bridget Jones's Diary, so it was nevertheless a good evening.
- Am just really behind on telly stuffs in general, due to SUNSHINE. I haven't seen this week's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
b7rewatch episode yet, though we are now onto ones that I haven't seen before. I did watch last week's episode, "Moloch", last night, and, er, less said about that the better, I think, though I did enjoy Vila and Servalan bickering. Also, I want to watch more Legend of the Seeker, and next up on my Doctor Who watch is "City of Death", and Rhiannon lent me season three of The West Wing and I should really finish that and return it, and I am halfway through the second season of The Wire, and and and... What I really need is more hours in the day. Could someone arrange that for me please? Thanks.
- My love for Radio 4 is well documented, but I also feel the need to proclaim my love for Radio 7, which is also great. At the moment I am listening to: the early seasons of Old Harry's Game, which I missed first time round; lots of Dorothy L. Sayers (Gaudy Night starts on Friday!); season three of the New Eighth Doctor Adventures ("The Scapegoat" is up next, and so far I think this season has been excellent.). They are also broadcasting repeats of a lot of old children's programmes that aired on Radio 4 in the early nineties, which is causing a lot of JOYFUL FLAILING in people who are me. This week it is Time Hops, which I am very excited to relisten to, as I liked it so much the first time round. (The subject line is a quote from same which has stuck in my brain for about a decade.) It has a mouse scientist from the future, a killer bunny rabbit ditto, the Great Fire of London ("We did this in primary school! This isn't any old fire, it's the Great Fire of London!" Just think what else I could've stored in that bit of brainspace) and more time travel shenanigans than you can shake a stick at.
- Icon meme!
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons. (unless you tell me not to bother!)
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee.

[keywords: the book of the still]
"The Book of the Still" has such a beautiful cover: all those blues and golds! I'm still not entirely happy with the crop on this icon, but I love the way the detail of writing stands out.
[keywords: lovely two]
I think the keywords say it all, really. Lovely Two! I like this image because it shows his serious side, too, though I wish I'd made it a little lighter. (I often think this; possibly the screen on my laptop is a bit weird.)
[keywords: time war] [made bymoira_fae11]
There is NOTHING about this icon that does not make me happy. From the look of sheer contentment on Paul McGann's face, to the idea that maybe that whole time war thing could have been avoided with MORE HUGS (or possibly that Eight precipitated it by hugging one too many Daleks (DO NOT HUG ME! KEEP AWAY! KEEP AWAY!)), it is all good.
[keywords: underwater menace]
Polly! So pretty. I like the sort of misty effect on this one, and also the fact that Polly is dressed up as a mermaid (♥ The Underwater Menace!). I really love Polly's combination of kindness and practicality: she's the one everyone goes to when they need to be cheered up, but she's no pushover - when that guy gets pushy with her in the Inferno, she tells him exactly where to go. Also, she kills Cybermen with nail polish remover. What's not to love?
[keywords: just the middleicon] [made bycoloredvision]
This is from the training montage bit in episode one. I assume our heroes were interpreting "prepare for the possibility of extreme water" or similar in their own unique ways. It sums up everything I liked about The Middleman and its charming oddity, plus I really like how the background works with tiny!Wendy and tiny!Middleman. I've been rewatching The Middleman recently at Stitch 'n' Witch (for, what, the fourth time? It is still so funny!), and it's only made me sad all over again that it got cancelled.
[keywords: worrals]
The Worrals books are a series of eleven books by W.E. Johns (creator of Biggles) about Flight Officer Joan Worralson, her sidekick Frecks, her friend Bill and their adventures flying planes during and after the Second World War. I LOVE THEM. They are possibly not the best written books ever, but they have a sort of breathless charm, and the characters are just wonderful. I made this icon a while ago (after googling "Worrals" and trying to icon all the pictures that came up); it's a little more glamorous than I imagine Worrals being, but nevertheless I am v. fond of it. (Though the text is wrong! I thought I checked it, but maybe not. Will fix.)

Date: 14 Jun 2010 20:30 (UTC)I do not have enough hours in the day to keep up with my Radio 7 listening recently which makes me rather sad.
Me neither - I have to force myself to be very selective.
must obtain and watch more of that show
It gets better and better as it goes along! How far into it are you?

Date: 14 Jun 2010 21:13 (UTC)Embarrassingly I've only seen the pilot episode of The Middleman but I was rather taken but what little I've seen of it. It had rather pleasant Avengersish overtones which always endears me.
