I am wondering if I should count watching seven episodes of Dr. Who as a big accomplishment - it's not like it was painful - but given my gnat-sized attention span this week, I'm going to go ahead and say: yay! Check that off the list!

And also, oh my GOD I love Nine and Rose. I am trying to block all awareness that their love is not eternal from my mind. Seriously, I don't know what it is, but somewhere between Christopher Eccleston's enormous ears and Billie Piper's metric ton of eyeliner there is love in my soul. I spend half of every episode just smishing them. ( I don't know what it is about their dynamic (mini-picspam, 1x05, 1x07) ).

Is it just that I started paying attention to this sort of thing, or is Dr. Who (at least S1 to episode 8) really beautifully filmed? Because I was playing with screencaps, and seriously, so many shots were so well-composited that it felt like someone had drawn them.

I'm up to 1x09, The Empty Child, and ( yeah. )

I am also enjoying that I am part of a long tradition of people who are really, really curious about how Time Lords reproduce.

ETA: Re: The Doctor Dances: Really? Did a particular OT3 just enter the canon in a big camera-fades-out sort of way? Because y'all were telling me it was canon, and I was not believing you, which shows what I know.

Six inches of snow. In April. It happens every year, and every year we're really surprised about it.

I'm supposed to be doing schoolwork. I am. But so far this weekend I've read a lot, and made scrambled tofu (yes, I used to be a vegan, why? Stop looking at me like that!) and gone visiting. I love the rickety old houses around here that only students will live in, where everyone keeps their jackets on indoors and stands around the woodstove until the snow melts off their boots. I'm not sure I'm ready to live like that, though. I like my weatherproofed, centrally-heated dwelling, even if I keep the thermostat at approximately zero.

I did poke around with sourcing for some more vidding. I have about thirty seconds of interesting narration in my head, but the rest of the song isn't working, so I think I'm going to ditch it. Also, I'm not sure yet if I can vid Tosh at all, because have you seen how she runs in the first two episodes? For some reason, it quite bothers me. Is it just a crosscultural miscommunication, or does she really have an annoying run?

Yes, I'm judgey, and maybe losing at Reclaiming Female Characters.

Happy Easter for Easter-celebrators! I slept through church. I never sleep through church! Jesus might have risen, but I hit the snooze button. Oh well.

1) "we're not straight we just love each other" was brought up (by me) in this here comments thread,
2) I sort of frivolously posted that link in a very interesting conversation about WNG in Buffy femslash
3) And then my link tracker indicated that people were actually clicking through, and I went "there's not really content in those comments!" and felt bad.
4) I wrote a more extensive comment on the thread, it was tl;dr and spoilery, and I thought to myself, self, maybe that had better be a post of its own too.

( Some thoughts on WNG/WNS and Gwen/Jack )

Plenty of Torchwood spoilers, of course.

Yes I should be asleep (four hours of Bulgarian opera: Culture makes me tired.) but I finally finished Torchwood ep 12. And yes, it is pretty much the awesomest 45 minutes of television ever. Even given that I've seen the dancing clip a bazillion times thanks to Youtube - I don't think there's any way to be too spoilered to love this episode.
