Me? GIP? Never!

[drakyndra]

Mostly a GIP, because kayleyangel made quote icons of the Melbourne Serenity Q and A (which can be found here), and you know, I couldn't not have one.

Isn't it prettiful? *beams*

Is it just me, or does the start of Marilyn Manson's cover of I Put A Spell On You sound somewhat like the Doctor Who theme? [/random]

Also, reasons I am loving the Internet right now: I've found not just the aforementioned cover, but also Ben Lee, Ben Kweller and Ben Folds singing "I Touch Myself." And a song called "Jesus Came From Outta Space".

I love you, cracky downloaded songs. *huggles*

I probably should stop distracting myself from this damned Links List, though. What with house stuff, it's going to be late anyway, and I already have got far, far too many links to add to it. *sighs*

Speaking of house stuff, anyone know where would be a good place to obtain a bed and/or washing machine that is not too expensive. And either delivers, or could be picked up on Saturday evening? New or second hand doesn't matter,as long as they are in good condition.

Oi, fa11ing_away, are we still on for hair dyeing Tuesday?

Oh, that's a shame about *looks up name* Roger Lloyd-Pack. Because I would have been whispering, 'Go on. Do it. Tongueflicktongueflicktongueflick.'.

'Harry, we mustn't be seen!'/'Rose, don't touch the baby!'

Yes, both DW and HP are, as has often been said, placing the normal beside the subnormal, and subverting things. Hence the twirly Christmas tree. The feeling of both is very similar. Just when Dumbledore makes his first ever entrance, white beard and robes swishing, he starts handing out sweets. Just when Doctor mark 10 has finally arrived to save the day, he starts spouting the Lion King.

A JKR episode would have been fantastic, but I think because they are so simliar people would have said things like 'oh, she's just stealing ideas from HP.' I'd quite like to read some sci-fi by her, I think she'd do the light stuff like DW very well.

If he ever does a tongueflick thing in Doctor Who, I shall just die. In the good way, I mean.

Yes! Fabulous comparison, the normal vs. abnormal dichotomy, and slight subversions. Buffy does the same thing, too, and I have seen it compared to both, so we should be surprised by this.

Yeah, I do wonder what JKR would have done with it. It would have been fascinating, I am sure. She does some very good dialogue, and I am sure it would have been fabulous fun.

Still, we will get Stephen Fry in Season 3, and since he reads the HP audiobooks, we've got a HP connection there. (Speaking of audiobooks, Tennant is reading the three upcoming Doctor Who books. *is dead of squee*)

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Hurrah, Stephen Fry is brilliant, I practically worship QI. And of course, he wrote/directed BYT so that all fits beautifully.

It has become necessary for me to become a zombie, it's just not healthy to keep dropping dead so frequently until I learn how to regenerate. So excited about the audiobooks; they will be on constant repeat on my mp3. (I just downloaded Much Ado About Nothing with David, can't wait to listen to that.)

In The Romantics (dunno if you saw that, BBC 2, middle of January) there was the tiniest flick of the tongue. SquEE.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

...And even if you do learn to regenerate, you only get 12 shots at it, which is far too few in the wake of the upcoming Extreme Awesome we shall be undergoing. (Why must April be so far away, why?)

I did have Much Ado, and I have listened to it, but I lost the file in a virus a while back. But one of my RL friends has it on her computer, so no harm, no foul.

I saw The Romantics - or the Tennant bits, anyway (yays for illegal downloads! *is Australian*). But I don't recall that. I shall have to watch again. How tragic.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Mmm, how will you bear it? I just watched it three times to check I hadn't imagined it. *is British* The tape with it on got taped over :O with an Agatha Christie (actually one with Roger Lloyd-Pack in!) but lovely lovely www.david-tennant.com have it online. Ooh, hang on, food ready. I'll get back to you in a bit and let you know where it is. Yes, it's that small. But is still squee because it is there.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I shall steadfastly carry on...

And Agatha Christie isn't the worst thing it could have been taped over with (when your surname is Christie, you tend to read an awful lot of her books. So I am quite fond of murder mysteries now)

Speaking of breaks, I probably ought to head in the direction of bed soon, being 1.30am and all...

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Heh, no problem. I just had lunch. Time change never fails to amaze me. *somewhat easily amazed*

Agatha Christie's books are rather good. I've read a few. About... eight. But I've forgotten them all, it was a while back. There's another dramatisation on tonight, I shall watch and grin to myself. Again. *Doctor grin*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I think I've read pretty much all Christie's Poirot books (my grandmother had a collection of them, and as she used to babysit my sister and I...what did you expect. Then again, I don't know what she was thinking, letting an 8 year old get away with reading about bloody murders). Not so many of the Miss Marple ones, though.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Poirot has more flair. But I like Marple because she takes you by surprise, she seems so cute and twinkly, and then it's 'You were in love with your sister, weren't you.' O_O

ZOMGWOAH icon! Nightwatch! So amazing!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

My grandma had mostly Poirot books, so I didn't really have a choice. By the time I found out she also wrote Miss Marple, I was sadly hooked on that little Belgian.

I love that icon muchly. adly, I can't remember where I got it, so I can't credit the maker.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

I was sadly hooked on that little Belgian. and his moustaches. They are so spiky. :D

Ah, Nightwatch is brilliant. I was in a small production of Les Miserables at the time I was reading it, and had to fight not to add my own revolutionary chant to 'Do you hear the people sing?'.

And yes, I imagine that icon above could be a little more sonic. *pokes it with sonic toothbrush* Teehee, "all the power of the Sonic is yours now." Muahaha!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

He was lovely, Poirot. Arrogant little smart-arse, but damn he was entertaining.

And Night Watch truly is. It's my very favourite Pratchett book, and I don't think that will change soon. Though the Les Mis thing I can so see happening. And I want to be in the audience if it ever does...

And I think pretty much everything could be made better if it was sonic. Sonic knives, sonic towels, sonic forks...

But I do love that Attack of the Graske thing, even if I can't play the real one, and have to deal with recorded of the telly versions. 'Twas classic. (He wants me to come along! Really!)

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

I'll sneak into the West End LM production. They'll never spot me, I know all the words.
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to TRUTH, FREEDOM, JUSTICE, REASONABLY PRICED LOVE AND A HARD BOILED EGG!
Or maybe the reasonably priced love bit would be more appropriate in the scene at The Docks...

Attack of the Graske was fantastic (I seriously overuse that word) except I couldn't help but laugh at the way it waddled... And no, he's going to pick me up one day. He didn't say that to anyone else. Just me. Delusions and fantasies are healthy, damnit.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I can just see it now... *sporfles*

Yes, AotG was brilliant. I hope they do more of those interactive things, it'd be fabulous. I think we all shared the same delusion on this one occasion. But it's such a wonderful one!

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

We can only hope. It's pathetic really, I sat in front of the computer (I had to wait for it to be posted on the site, GAH!) giggling to myself because he was looking straight at me.

Darn it, I was going to play it now, but it won't work on the laptop. And while I'm on the BBC site, have you seen Nine and A Half Minutes? I presume you will have...

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I know. And he said nice things about me! *loves that man like a mad, mad loving thing*

I can only watch my videos. And, speaking of, yes I have seen Nine and a Half Minutes. I am sure you are completely and utterly shocked by this...

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Stunned, I can tell you. I only got it to work recently. It is wonderful, albeit utterly confusing.

"*loves that man like a mad, mad loving thing*" What a wonderfully adept summary! Couldn't have put it better myself. *slings attempts at poetry out the window*

I'm now frantically trying to remember the name of that other short he was in briefly which I found a few weeks back. Damnit. Now that's going to annoy me.

Ha, look how squidged the comments are getting now. *breathes in*

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Old Street! That's the bunny.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I am not familiar with that one.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

We truly should bow down at the altar of RTD and Co or giving us such wonderful gifts. *worships*

I'm pretty certain I've used that before. *looks at entry* Well, there's one time where I used it about the anonymouse who got me a paid account and bonus userpics, and probably more in the past. I do like the sound of it, though.

And we have now achieved folding! I repeat, we have achieved comment folding!

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

*truly bows down*

Yay! Foldingness! Medals for all! Novelty TARDIS Easter eggs for all!

Old Street is another ten-minute-ish thing, he's in the last three minutes or something. It's slightly strange. *goes link searching*

Got it! I love my DT forum. http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=140821

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Huzzah! I'd like to thank the Academy, and my parents, and that random bloke who stood next to me at the tram stop that one time, and my goldfish, and my toaster, because I couldn't have done it without you, Toasty...

*wishes Australia had TARDIS Easter eggs*

I shall check it out immediately.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Argh! The guy who set the network up where I am staying now made it really secure to stop viruses and the like getting in. And it means I can't access any of those RealPlayer things right now.

I'll remember the link and wait until I am at the Uni's computer labs or something.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

(btw, may I add you as a friend?)

Argh! indeed. How frustrating. Oooooh, I'd forgotten, he has a Scottish accent in this... *melts*

The TARDIS eggs are a Marks and Spencer thing. They have Daleks too. Oh, us crazy Brits. Don't look over there, I think someone's inventing the sandwich!

Of course the toaster needs thanking. A friend and I recently formulated the theory that the TARDIS is related to a toasters or toasters in general somehow. This resulted from a Simpsons episode when Homer transformed the toaster into a time machine. I think it's a plausible theory, yes? Maybe when it's set against the Crumple Horned Snorkack.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Sure, friend away!

It is frustrating, but that's what Uni computer labs are for, you know. And stop telling me stuff and making me want to see it more!

Yes, definitely you lot are crazy (though Americans are still crazier). *grins at quote*

Hey, I remember that Simpsons episode! It was very funny, but then I do love all the Treehouse of Horror ones. Of course, Toasters always make me think of Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf.
