- Happy belated birthday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elyssadc! (Sorry I missed you out of my post the other day, for some reason LJ didn't tell me it was your birthday :/)
- Quick plug:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
who_daily and torchwood_three are looking for new editors! I've only done backup editions of both, but if anyone is considering applying and wants to ask me any questions, I shall do my best to answer.
- Had a slight booktastrophe earlier when I finished the book I'd brought to read at work (The Game, by Diana Wynne Jones, which I found slightly unsatisfactory: it was enjoyable, as ever with her books, but rather slight. I thought I was only about half way through and was rather surprised to find myself at the end. I think it needed more middle) rather sooner than I had planned. But then I remembered that I work in a library, so I nipped down to the Children's Fiction section and picked up a copy of Margaret Mahy's The Changeover, which I'd been thinking about rereading anyway. Crisis averted.
- In my attempt to watch All of Doctor Who In Order, I have got to Robot (sidenote: last time I complained on here about some post not arriving, it was there when I got home, so in that spirit: where is my copy of About Time 4? I waaannnttssss it (ETA that actually worked! Awesome! *clings to shiny new book*)). I think the things I enjoyed most this time round were all the little reaction shots and things like that - the Doctor taking Harry's half eaten jelly baby away from him in a fit of pique, Four and Sarah grinning like schoolchildren as they listened to Harry's reactions to seeing inside the TARDIS, Benton's proud face when he remembers an important bit of plot, the Doctor's triumphant pose as he and Harry return from melting the Robot (poor Robot), the Brig's reaction to the Doctor saying "well, naturally. All the rest were foreigners.", how excited Harry is at the prospect of Exciting Undercover Shenanigans, Tom Baker's face. And of course Benton and the Brig talking about regeneration: two laconic comments and then on with Benton's report. And loads of other bits, because this story is MADE OF LOVE. Apart from the bit where the Robot stepped on a UNIT soldier and SQUASHED HIM FLAT. D:
