list of things, mostly fannish

[usuallyhats]

1. Via drakyndra at lifeonmartha, new interview about and pictures of the Doctor Who comic The Forgotten. EEEEEE. I don't usually buy comics but this looks fantastic, I may have to make an exception.

2. Because apparently I had stupid for breakfast the other day, I bought a copy of the Wheel In Space soundtrack CD without realising that a) disc 2 was missing and b) I've already got it anyway. *headdesk* Would anyone like it? I could burn you a copy of disc 2 to go with it... Claimed!

3. Meme thingy, since I now have an exciting new digital camera to replace the one stolen by scoundrels: Ask me to take a picture of something in my life and I will.

4. Re: last night's House ('House's Head'): is it Thursday again yet? No? Are you sure? How about now?

5. Diana Wynne Jones has a new book out, and is doing a signing (scroll down) at Forbidden Planet (Bristol) next Saturday, yay! I may actually be able to make that.

6. It has been a bit busier than usual in the library today, only fits and starts, but still. I was just helping someone over the phone when another student came along, left her books on the counter, said "to return" and wandered off. Am I being especially irritable or is that a bit rude? It's not the first time it's happened and it rather annoys me.

7. New series of The Now Show tonight, hurray!

1 - the first lot of IDW comics are fab - I'm looking forward to The Forgotten...

2 - Yes please!!

3 - A photo of your desk or bookshelves, please?

5 - I hope she shows - last time I was going to meet DWJ at FP in Bristol she was ill and didn't make it... :(

6 - That is APPALLINGLY rude, but completely unsurprising...

Diana Wynne Jones is doing a signing? How come nobody interesting ever comes over here to sign books! *pouts* You should try and go so that I can live vicariously through you. ;-)

Yes, that student was quite rude and a bit careless. I mean, what if those books got mislaid by someone else and never got checked back in. She'd be up for quite a fine and she'd never be able to prove they were returned. Personally, I like to stand there to watch them being scanned back in. Same with the returning DVD's. I'm funny that way.

House's Head/Wilson's Heart is one of the best season finales I've ever seen. Seriously, it's just amazing.

1. I haven't read any of the others yet, but this looks fantastic!

2. Shiny! Let me know your address (my email is strangeadventurer AT googlemail DOT com) and I'll put it in the post. The... thingummies that hold the middle of the discs in place are broken, but apart from that it seems ok.

5. Oh, that's a shame, especially if you came here specially - if I go, I'll probably be dropping in on the way to the station!

I'm just pleased it's not London for a change! She lives here, I think, that's probably why :)

Personally, I like to stand there to watch them being scanned back in.
Me too! That way I can find out how hideous my fines are this time...

I was glued to the TV all the way through, it was great. And it's very reassuring to hear that it doesn't all fall flat on its face in the second half!

2 - Will email you shortly, thanks!

5 - I did travel down to Bristol especially - fortunately DWJ wasn't the only "attraction" so it wasn't a wasted journey, but I was still disappointed...

*flails*

I tried to post the CD on Saturday... but arrived at the post office just as it shut. So I was going to post it today at lunchtime... but I left it at home! I'm sorry! But it is definitely on its way to being on its way...

That's OK - no rush!!
