Some things that are in my brain

The lift: still beeping. My brain: slowly turning to mush. ARGH.
Last night I listened to Gallifrey: Mindbomb and though I don't have a huge amount to say about it (I was quite tired and my brain lost track a few times), I just wanted to mention one moment that I liked, before I forget: the little exchange between Brax and Leela when he mentions that someone had the walls of the Presidential Office lined with lead, and she replies "I remember". Louise Jameson put so much affection into just two words; it was quite lovely.
Also yesterday I watched Sky's Hogfather adaptation. Well, to be strictly accurate I watched the first twenty minutes of it, as that was as far as I managed to get. WHY did they make Marc Warren do that voice? So irritating! What's wrong with his real voice? Maybe it was just because I was watching at the wrong time of year, but the whole thing seemed to lack sparkle. The opening sequence was so obviously CGI that I felt like I was watching a video game - a high budget one, but still. I did like their Susan, though.
Recently I have discovered that every time I hear the word "sleaze" I feel this strange urge to say "SLEEEEAAAZE!" whilst wiggling my fingers in the manner of Wallace from Wallace and Gromit. Usually I do not bother to resist this urge.
Looking at the Big Finish website it seems the October release is currently titled Castle of Fear. I hope this is right as it is an excellent title; tells you all you need to know. I was looking at the website because I had a feeling that being a main range subscriber would get me £5 off subscribing to the Companion Chronicles, but it doesn't seem to say that any more. Maybe I made it up. Never mind.
