Today got off to a rather bad start when I found out the hard way that my trainers don't have much grip when it's been raining. *hurryhurryhurryslidethumpOW* more or less sums it up. Luckily nothing but my dignity was bruised.

Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.

persiflage_1 gave me: ace, discworld, harry sullivan, jamie mccrimmon, martha/romana, sarah jane smith, zoe herriot (I have tended towards talking about why I love them rather than who they are.)

( there be some big pictures here )

And now I go back to coding today's who_daily fic edition. Or possibly the washing up.

Yooge Doctor Who review post

Things that I have watched and read and listened to recently, y compris BFAs (The Veiled Leopard, Shada and The Church and the Crown), Marco Polo, an EDA (Dark Progeny) and a PDA (The Roundheads).

Audios first. I found the latest Big Finish release, The Boy That Time Forgot, er, not terribly impressive (the first two parts, certainly, haven't got round to listening to the last two yet and have no desire so to do), but luckily I bought some other audios off of someone on the forum formerly known as Outpost Gallifrey and they also arrived on Friday, thus allowing me to regain my Big Finish squee.
( The Veiled Leopard )

( Shada )

( The Church and the Crown )

Recently I've seen a few people mentioning that they're watching all of Doctor Who from the beginning. This seemed like a good idea so I nicked it. Have just started on my first new-to-me serial - Marco Polo - and am up to episode three. ( vague spoilers )

The last EDA I read was Dark Progeny, with Fitz and Anji, which was slightly less my kind of thing than the EDAs usually are, being a proper thriller rather than a slightly mad adventure, but it was still pretty good. ( spoilers )

Last night I read another PDA, The Roundheads (Two, Polly, Ben and Jamie), not much to say about this one, it was a fun romp and I learned a new word (said word being "ingles", a seventeenth century slang term for male prostitutes and therefore not terribly useful in general conversation, but never mind). (ETA it has also just helped me with one of the picture rounds on University Challenge, heh.) And the Doctor had a line that made me go "hee!"; ( spoilers )
