"please, captain, not in front of the Klingons."

(subject line courtesy of me reading Quotable Star Trek at 2am because I couldn't sleep.)
HELLO WORLD. I went to Nottingham for the weekend and saw lots of university friends, it was ace. Here are some pictures. (Not pictured: watching Enchanted, which I had never seen before and now love a bit.) Then I came home and was STRUCK DOWN by a cold, which was less good. I am mostly better now, but have probably missed stuff on the flist due to lack of brain, so do tell me about things I may have missed!
Being ill meant I have listened to a fair bit of Big Finish in the last few days. First I listened to the latest one, "The Crimes of Thomas Brewster", which I rather liked: ( mild spoilers ) Next up was a Benny audio, "The Crystal of Cantus". I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. Currently debating whether to buy season seven straight away or wait and see if it's in the summer sale. (Season six was in last year's! It's possible!) Seventy pounds is a lot of money to spend all in one go, but on the other hand it is pretty good for six audios and three books. Anyway. Then there was "Nekromanteia"; I dozed through some of disc one which may account for my not really liking it. The fact that I woke up properly just in time for the scene where ( spoilers ) Then I tried to listen to "The Guardian of the Solar System", but kept falling asleep, which was very annoying as the bits I did hear sounded awesome. Will have to try again when I have more brain.
I've also been working my way through this year's Festivids! (Didn't have enough brain for vids on Monday, which was a little distressing.) I'm not very far through the list, but here are some recs anyway:
- We Won't Run (Children of Men)
- Never the Same (Narnia)
- There Is a Boy Who Never Goes Out (Dead Like Me)
- Both Eighth Doctor vids: One Day Like This and New Shoes
- Amnesia (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)
- Friends (How I Met Your Mother)
Recs for fandoms beginning with the letters I-Z may be forthcoming at a later date. I hear there is an excellent DS9 vid in there somewhere which I am looking forward to. Speaking of DS9,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ds9_rewatch is happening! I missed the live watch last week but am hoping to jump in for some later episodes. Hurrah!
Hmmm, I think I may not be as better as I thought I was, my typing today has been even more terrible than usual. Today is UWE day, so I am at work til 1, then I have to get the bus up to UWE for lectures from 2.30 to 4.30 and 5.30 to 7.30. Will I make it all the way to 7.30 without giving up and going home? Tune in for the next exciting installment!
