"Triangular Draconians! In hats!"
A bit fell off my oven yesterday. Not a crucial bit, but a bit I don't know the name of so reporting it to the letting agency should be fun. "You know how the heating element on the hob is a sort of open spiral? Well under that there's a sort of metal disc... thing. And it's held up by three other things. And one of the things has fallen off and the disc has fallen over."
BENNY. I read "Life During Wartime" at the weekend (so good! Rob Shearman's story may have broken my heart a little) and am now desperate to get to "Death and the Daleks" so I can find out how the cliffhanger is resolved. The thing I loved most about it was the way it fleshed out a lot of the other people and the general background for the Collection, something that I thought was missing a bit from the audios so far. I bought the hardback bundle from Big Finish in the sale so hopefully the other books will do the same thing. Does anyone know what how they fit in with the audio sequence? I'm sure I've seen a link to a website that explains it, but I didn't bookmark it or anything sensible like that and now I can't find it.
Big Finish has a new podcast! This year's releases sound like they will in fact be made of awesome, yes. I was a bit take it or leave it about the Key to Time audios at first but it sounds like they're going to be pretty good. And then there was Izzy! And Fitz's VOICE! It didn't sound exactly like I imagined but somehow I didn't care. Also I ♥ Nick Briggs; stapling duvet covers wot his mum bought him to the walls of his office to make it soundproof!
Watched a few more episodes of Alias; I don't have mad fannish love for it (yet, anyway) but I am enjoying it. I think I heard that the whole Rambaldi plotline goes a bit wossname later on but for now I like it since it is basically a giant treasure hunt but with spies and fights and outfits. I am quite glad of the voiceover at the beginning of each episode, because I'm sort of vaguely spoiled for the whole run and was getting muddled up between characters I've met, characters I've heard of and actors who I thought were characters.
ETA what is it about 4.30 on a Monday afternoon that screams "I must return/renew/borrow a book AT ONCE!"? Most peculiar.

Did you get the book? (I'm not hassling, I just to check it arrived okay because the post around Oxfordshire is dire!!)

It still takes a bit of work, though, to get it all sorted. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernice_Summerfield)
If you rediscover the better reference guide you mentioned, I'd love to get a link.
(PS. And don't forget, I have a copy of Glass Prison that I'm going to send to you along with Just War as soon as I finish them.)

I think it was a site other than wiki, if only I could remember where I saw it! If I find it again, I'll let you know.
