Crap. The latest episode of Doctor Who is finished, and it is starting to set my flist a-squee. And due to the stupid shaped Internet connection, I won't be able to see it until midnight tonight.

That is to say, almost 20 hours away.

And, considering how much of my damned flist is Doctor Who related, I will have to avoid it entirely to prevent getting spoilerised.

Along with most of the forums I frequent.

Crap.

*sighs* So, don't mind me, I'll just be sitting here finishing off my links list and doing homework.

Stupid shaping. *sulks some more*

*sighs* good to see at least ONE post isn't cut for squee. Will probably watch it tonight, at about 4 am again

good luck to you with that download

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


It's not the downloading so much as out net deal - my house has a ADSL, with a download limit, and if you go over, you get pushed back to dialup.

All was well and good, until my housemate discovered that the site listing how much of your limit you've used isn't updated instantaeously. And so the three gig we thought we had wasn't there.

So I can either grab the first download, and wait for it to very slowly go on dialup, or wait until midnight, and we have off-peak downloads (in which the limit is not yet reached).

Well, that way you'll overtake me and my (for DSL) crappy download rate as soon as you start the 'real' ADSL downloading ^^

Has either of you found downloads yet? There seem to be no torrents up yet, which is where I would normally look.

Didn't find one yet, would be grateful if someone told me once it's up, will let you know if I find one

Ooh, thanks!

(And that attended me to the fact that, although I had that comm on my flist, I never actually joined. Now remedied.)

Missed it due to going to a movie. Will have to download as well.

May I perhaps suggest another Who-related activity?

Not subtle at all, no. :-)

It's on my to-do list. After finishing the links list, and before homework.

From: [identity profile] aervir.livejournal.com


Can we sulk a little together? :D

My f-list, too, is overflowing with episode reviews, which probably means that I should start working on some literature bibliographies or other exciting stuff... *sigh*

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


We can start a sulking corner. And sit here and write emo poetry about our lack of Cybermen.

...I just typed Crybermen. Talk about Freudian slips.

Heh! :D

My emo poetry on the topic of still being a Cyberman virgin would probably descend to the literary level of Vogon verse epics, though.

...

I just realised, I'm still a Cyberman virgin. I wasn't with Daleks last year, but this time I am. Weird.

And Vogon poetry can be entertaining. One of my clubs had a Vogon poetry competition last year.

Well, it's still the same for me. I had never seen a Dalek before, um, Dalek, but I can happily put all the blame for that on having to live in that bloody country where no one has even heard of the whole show. ;)

O_O

I'm sure that must have been a most ... memorable event. I've never actively tried writing Vogon poetry so far. I do take part in writing verses for our annual dorm Christmas party, though, and that's probably
close enough.

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


Heh. I'd seen the very first episode that the Daleks were in (one of the few old series episodes I'd seen). They were what hooked me to the new series.

Some of the Vogon poetry can be found on <a href="http://cosmichitchhikers.com/bistro.php'>our website</a>. Along with some other interesting stuff.

The very first Dalek episode with William Hartnell? Now that's really cool!

Strangely enough, I had known about Daleks, though, despite them not being any part of German pop culture. Might have been due to general SF&F fandom osmosis.

Re: Vogon poetry. --> "Yay toast." 'S all I'm saying. :D

Yep. Back when the repeats started on the ABC (I think it may have been 2002?). The show was recommended to me as something I might like. So I watched it on and off, but the timeslot clashed with other stuff, so I never got hugely into it until the new series. But I *heart* Daleks.

I'll give Elise your regards.

ABC repeated the show? You lucky, lucky guys down under. *envious sigh*

But I *heart* Daleks.

How could anyone not adore the little, not-stair-climbing, bumbling, pepperpots?

From: [identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com


Well, the skipped a few episodes, but yeah, they repeated most of it, start to finish.

And Dalek pwn.

I'd so move to Australia for that, if I didn't already plan to migrate to Britain first... :)

Woe!

Guess I'll don't have to spend money on a plane ticket to Australia then.
