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?

Lol, who and what colour this time?

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Purple again. Actually, you could help again if you want to. About noon, on from Monday to Wednesday this week. Towels would be welcomed, as I put all except one of mine in storage, and I sort of need that one for drying myself.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Hence the name, I expect.

[neo-leviathan.livejournal.com]

Wow, three days, how many people are being dyed?

Can't help monday, but tuesday on the other hand...

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

No, I meant any of those days, it's just me. I want it done before the CHAS O-Week stuff, though.

And Tuesday seems to be the go right now. I am sure you could find your way here...

[neo-leviathan.livejournal.com]

I may need directions.

Yep, tuesday all good, I have to put my bike in for fixing that morning, so after that = all good.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'm still at your girlfriend's place, you should know the way!

And I would prefer it to be on the earlier side, I still have to be at work at 5.

[neo-leviathan.livejournal.com]

So you havn't moved into your new place yet? Ok

And actually, I havn't been to kelly's new place yet :P

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Moving is this weekend. Or a little later for me if I can't get a bed beforehand.

And I think my icon says it all here.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

I decided to stop spamming that poor Pratchett rant and head over here (hope that's ok) to add:
Beige-coated love in a movie short called Nine and A Half Minutes!
Otherwise you win. Only just bought the Blackpool DVD. And dressing-gowny love defeats all.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's okay.

And you want to know something even better than the dressing-gowny love: in the next season of Doctor Who, in episode 5 (or 6), the Doctor wears a tuxedo.

David Tennant. In a tuxedo.

The Gods have smiled on us, surely.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Oooooh yes. Thank you, O Divine Providers of Tennantness. Was that in the Series 2 preview? *hunts out clip*

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

If it was, it was only very briefly.

But never fear, for I have photos!

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Wow. *picks self up from floor* (Just found the Series 2 teaser on the net, it's not in there. Rose in that outfit is though). Hehe, I presume you've seen the photos of him on the moped? Helmet love!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Have I ever? The moped photos are fab. Though I also very much like the other 50s ones, in which he has that hair-do.

They are so trying to kill us with awesome next season, aren't they?

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Tennant fans across the world will be in a constant state of swooning half-conciousness. It could become a serious problem. The World Health Organisation won't know what to do with us. (just love writing that because of its abbreviation, aha.) It's so frustrating that they teased us with that preview and now we have to wait months. It's the Children in Need special all over again.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Russell T Davies, you diabolical fiend! _{*ignores the fact that RTD is gay, and that she has read an article where he siad he put David in a tux for the sexy undoing of the bow-tie action*}

And the wait is killing me. Again.

Bastards.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

lol! Thank you RTD, now I love you more than ever! At last, a writer who understands what the DT fans want! D'you reckon he put that red coat in the TARDIS wardrobe in on purpose, as a Casanova reference? And I wonder if the vague reference to Bright Young Things was deliberate as well.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

You can't not love RTD, that magnificent bastard. And the jury is still out on the red coat thing. Though I believe the majority of people seem to think it is. So we shall just have to wonder.

What was the Bright Young Things reference, it must have passed me by?

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Oh, I doubt it was really there, it's just when he asked 'Am I... ginger?' I went *squeak!*

Just as I squeaked at the line HP stole from Casanova, 'I'll show you mine...'

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see.

And HP did seem to have a lot of lines and ideas from other places. That, and "Parting of the Ways" which put me very in mind of DW (especially as the very next thing was the bigger-on-the-inside tent), and then the very regeneration-esque Polyjuice stuff.

Which reminds me, the bloke who played Barty Sr is in Doctor Who next season as well, playing a baddy. Which shall be weird.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

Haha, never thought of the tent! And yes, Parting of the Ways gave me a quiet little snigger. WB probably thought they were being oh so clever. I wanted him to do the Doctor grin after the Potion had worn off soo much.

Yes, I read that somewhere. Bizarre. I look forward to it, although I didn't actually think too much of his Crouch Snr.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Well, there is a lot of Who-esque things in HP, actually. The whole "Dumbledore offering people sherbet lemons" thing puts me distinctly in mind of Tom Baker and jelly-babies, and then you get onto the bigger on the inside stuff, and the Room of Requirement (gee, what else do we know of which changes internally as required on occasion?).

And RTD did ask JKR is she would write an episode for the first New Who season. She turned it down on account of being too busy, but you can see where the idea came from. She does have a similar sense of humour.

Actually, I think someone said that he doesn't actually have any scenes with David. Or something like that. I was most disappointed, even if it was just on behalf of cracky crossovery thoughts.

[days-of-yore.livejournal.com]

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.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

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*)
