- Sign-ups are open in this year's dw_femslash ficathon, yay! I have not signed up myself due to inability to write shippy fic, but I am looking forward to seeing other people's fic (and also am totally willing to beta read/cheerlead for other people if any of you so desire!).
- I watched the first episode of the new BBC version of Emma last night, and I must admit I was not madly impressed by it. The crucial snag was that I did not find Emma the least bit likeable: she was all snobbish obliviousness and didn't seem to have much in the way of genuine warmth to mitgate it. Bah. Also Romola Garai looks rather like Katee Sackhoff from certain angles, which is a little distracting.
- Tonight is FlashForward! I wasn't completely hooked by the pilot but I was intrigued enough to watch again. Hopefully the characters will have more, well, character this week (I looked at the summary in the Guide and am intrigued to find out which ones Mark and Demetri are as the names rang no bells at all). Also it could do with more humour and less "cute kid makes apocalyptic pronouncements" as I find that rather hard to take much of.
- Yesterday I went round a bit of the Windmill Hill art trail with Rhiannon and Simon. Saw lots of art and jewellery and hats, plus got to nose around other people's houses (it's a sort of open house arrangement, people show their stuff in their living rooms), which is always fun. Didn't buy any art due to EXPENSIVENESS, but I did get a pretty pendant, which I am wearing right now.
- Quick question for people who subscribe to Big Finish's monthly range: have you had your Paper Cuts and Blue Forgotten Planet CDs yet? The downloads were out ages ago but mine haven't turned up yet :(
