drakyndra: The Music Meister demands you sing! (Jack)

Being rather too cynical for my own good

So, according to Teh Papers, yesterday was the second hottest October day on Record. 36.5 degrees Celsius. Yep, this summer looks like it might be less than fun, bushfires and droughts and water restrictions, oh my!

Onto more fandomly events: MsScribe "apologises". Yep, the queen of sockpuppets herself speaks out against the account of her deeds (which, although she denies reading, still claims it is mostly false). As people have commented, MsScibe appears to have a slight lack of sincerity. If by slight, I mean "huge".

In more cheerful topics, the BBC Torchwood site is now live. Yep, it's not long until it starts up. (If you are out of the UK, try this link to see more of the cool stuff - thanks to [livejournal.com profile] taraliveson for that).

Conclusions: As much as I do like Jack, I think I might end up watching this show for the rest of the ensemble. Because right now, they are the ones that really interest me. Maybe it's just the "I know nothing about them" factor (which has been known to compel me to certain characters), but still...

I have decided that I shall like Ianto. Because his pissy memo on the flash site is win.

Though as others on my flist have commented, certain things on the site give me a "trying too hard to be edgy" vibe. The excessive darkness, and overwritten angsty character descriptions. And the trailers obsession with the "adultness" of sex and violence. I'm hoping that the series is a little better than it's advertising.

I know how, I just want it to have a cool comm name.

Recommend a better one. We need that comm up before the first ep, just for the attention ^^

If we have it, they will come

I sure I read a quote somewhere about disturbingly good coffee, think you could dig that up for me?

[identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com 2006-10-13 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Never heard that one before, all I could dig up was: Gareth has been shooting his first scenes as Ianto this week and his character is quite the charmer. Dressed in snazzy suits he guards the Hub from unwelcome attention and although not strictly part of Torchwood, his intelligence, good looks and a strange ability to make superb coffee makes him an valued contributor to their investigations.


Sounds like he's the bouncer with the Secret Ingredient Coffee ^^

And I just remembered JB defined Ianto as "Jack's boy toy" ^^

That's the one! (It's from here"

Think we can get a good comm name from that? 15 characters or less.

boy_toy_love
secret_ingredient
special_blend
Iantos_blend

ehh... I'm not too creative today I fear... I need more coffee

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-10-13 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye. Which is why I wanted to wait until the episode, see what quotes we get. (Is anything much said about Ianto in the trailers et al?)

ZOMG IDEA: dark_coffee.

Thoughts?

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-10-13 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
ARGH, dark_coffee is taken. I'm fiddling round with spaces, but is there some way we could change it to make it less common (and thus, less likely to be in use?)

[identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com 2006-10-13 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehm, ehm... no idea? Deep_black_coffee? Torchwood_coffee?

What do you plan to do first with your l33t Mod skillz?

[identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com 2006-10-13 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
We need to advertise this like whoa now, so more people will join the Ianto love ^^

It's 1:30 in the morning here, so my brain is not at it's best. Get cracking, dear!
