I am so fed up of not having a new laptop yet. Probably the fact that I know I should have one within the next fortnight or so is making this worse. And I know it is a stupid and petty thing to be annoyed about... but there it is. Emergency backup laptop is great but slooowww and I want to make iiiiicons! I have a load of Mind Robber caps (major advantage of classic laptop: PowerDVD!) sitting on my hard drive waiting for me to do something with. Yes I would like some cheese with my whine, thank you kindly.
Just after I typed all that an amazon package arrived with the first batch of my replacement DVDs in it, which has effectively stopped me feeling sorry for myself. Hurray! Also the sun is warm, there are set photos from series 2 of the Sarah Jane Adventures (warning! spoilers!) and Big Finish has announced that the Companion Chronicles is going to be an ongoing series, including companions from Doctors 5-8 as well, plus "characters that aren't strictly companions". This makes me a very happy fan (as long as I ignore the somewhat repetitious discussion over at The Forum Formerly Known As Outpost Gallifrey) - more stories! Companiony stories! One starring Sara Kingdom! Joy! Also, if the picture on the link is the cover for the Susan one... pretty. I've not been that impressed with the covers for the latest of the main range releases, but the black bar format seems to work really well for the Companion Chronicles.

(Talking of UNIT audios, I have them now - just need to find time to *listen* to them ! I'm going to have a major splurge of non-RTD!Who after S4 finishes airing, I reckon - DVDs and audios...)
Sorry, didn't mean to babble so much !

Date: 14 May 2008 16:56 (UTC)Yay, UNIT audios! I hope you like them, after I encouraged you to get them and everything. A non-RTD!Who splurge sounds like a great way to combat post-finale blues.
You definitely weren't babbling, no need to apologise :)

Well I'll definitely be posting a review of them on my LJ in due course. But if I don't - I won't hold it against you !
