So, The Father was visiting Melbourne last night, so we went out for dinner at a Brazilian place. Which wasn't bad (except the part where they didn't pay attention when Dad booked and said I was vegetarian, so I was stuck with the salad bar all night. At least the salad was nice).

They also had very, very nice cocktails. Which I forget the name of. Oops.

The performers after dinner were entertaining. The costumes were... interesting, all feathers and sequins and not much else. But the partnered dancers were quite impressive, and the music was good.

In fandomly news, look what's back... FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!. Yes, it's a resurrected hatememe. Or anonmeme, or whatever.

Like most hatememe, it has lots of bitching about people/groups/sites/ships/whatever, some warranted, some not. But, on a more amusing note we have: Vicki/Martha porn, pervy thoughts about BNFs, Casanova shipwars, gratuitous Panda fics, claims of having had two DW writers, the greatest smushed ship name EVER and finally, a thread which confused me greatly when I found it.

Oh and there's also someone claiming to have S3 spoilers. They haven't shared them so far, worst luck.

On the subject of S3 spoilers we have: Info on Martha's family, info on the Shakespeare episode, and our first sighting of Doctor/Martha handporn.

Oh, and there's a 14 year old girl on the OG going by the username "thedoctorandmartha" having changed her name from "Rose Tyler..." I find this utterly adorable.

ETA: Spoiler!mouse from the meme has come through. Note: If true BIG FUCKING SPOILERS.

DISH FTW

Also, were any of those people in that one thread you?

From: [identity profile] melata-fic.livejournal.com


As am I. *grin* Whoever thought of the name was genius. (I call first dibs on the ship, however.)

The one where everyone is asking if it's you or not. The confusing one.

Really? Score! *does dance of geniusness*

No. Not yet. Should I duck in, and confuse matters even more?

And again we're all you... Somehow this meme doesn't anger me as much as the first one did.

From: [identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com


Everyone is [livejournal.com profile] drakyndra at the moment... and this meme is so much more fun than the last one when everyone fumed with rage because of all the accusations. Lukewarm hate is so much more fun!

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


It's more mocking hate than raging hate. Which probably explains a lot.

I think a bunch of people who were involved in teh last one are just having fun with this one.

It 's one big party and everyone with a bit of humor is invited. So much better than the real wank

From: [identity profile] aervir.livejournal.com


I would be interested in the names of the DW writers the anonymouse claims to have had. Maybe it was DT talking about his sekrit gay affairs with RTD and Mark Gatiss?

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


That's one of the more interesting comments on the meme, that's for sure.

Awww!

I think it's lovely, personally. She's been hanging around the spoiler section a bit.

*settles down to watch*

Does [livejournal.com profile] kammgirl always use LOL as a sort of punctuation? It makes me not take her seriously on principle.

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


*starts counting down til she comments here*

I'm pretty certain she has a blogsearch or something that she uses to find when anyone ever mentions her name.

But the LOL thing was what gave me the initial impression she was a teenager. She uses it just like my sister does in SMS.

Or lots of spare time that could be wasted in funnier ways on the Internet.

Well, personally, I don't mind a little netspeak (even though it seems terribly popular with the teens), but it's not a wise move to keep using jocular Internet slang in a serious debate.

Caipirhinas! (The drink!) They're made with sugar and lime and the alcohol bit is a kind of rum, and they're totally yummy!!

Gee, more wank? How...shocking.

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


They had them on the menu, but I had something else (I only had one cocktail, they were on the expensive side)

I am shocked and appalled. ;)

OMG! You went to a Brazilian restaurant and didn't have a Caipirhina? They're my favorite thing about Brazilian food!! SOOOO good! You don't even realize how drunk you're getting... which of course would be a bad thing if you had to drive.

Shocked and appalled, eh? And right in the thick of things, of course! *hee* 'Cause, you know, HP wank has been dull since reviewgate got old, Msscribe and CC and the plagiarism wank are done to death, and the Harmonians are no fun anymore. Bring on Marthagate!! (And Torchwood! Eeee! Like 6 weeks!!!)

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


No, taxi home (Because I don't have my licence. No, I don't like driving, it freaks me out).

The fandom is a bit bored right now, what with the in between series-ness and all. And we all know that next series is going to bring wanksplosions...

From: [identity profile] --kali--.livejournal.com


Which I forget the name of. Oops.
That happens when you get to the fourth or fifth one :)

p.s. Thanks for summarising the hatememe - now I can just see the fun stuff. yay!

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


I only had one cocktail and several glasses of red. I'm just a complete lightweight.

That's only the good stuff from about the first four pages. There's some good stuff later on I may post at another date.

From: [identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com


YAY for the spoilers. Heard something similar on the OG, but it didn't sound like it was going to be such a bit thing.

*Is carefully optimistic it's true*

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


Yeah, I saw the OG's version, too. Sounds interesting, which is good. (Also, plot-arcy, which might cheer people who were hoping for more of that in S2)
