THIS IS JUST TO SAY.

That I want to be Sarah Jane Smith when I grow up.


In other news, I currently have two outstanding LT Early Review books to read, which I'm alternating chapters on, because they're both pretty interesting and pretty dense. However, I think I will have to stop doing that soon, because Book 1 is currently tearing down the concept of Platonic dualism in search of pure truth and Book 2 is currently building up a theory of truth based around Platonic dualism, and so I find I'm pitting them against each other rather than reading them for themselves.

(Alas, I rather find I side with Book 1, despite liking Book 2 better - Platonic dualism is a fun toy to play with, and it's necessary to learn it in order to understand all the art that's been built using it, but when you get down to brass tacks and strange quarks, it's got no *foundation*, and and so I've never found it particularly useful for anything *but* play. Which, yay play! The author of Book 2 could do with more learning how to play, I think. So could the Book 1 author, come to think.)

...now I want to haul out the Legos again.

Sarah Jane on Friday was a good example of why I can only take anything Dr. Who-related in very small, far-spread doses. d-:

Read Black Ships instead! It's metaphysical!

yeah, the plot-type-stuff in that episode was not exactly the best ever; I am told it gets better immediately after the pilot. (But I still want to be Sarah Jane when I grow up!!)

Black Ships is next up after ER books and lgbtfest stuff!

UGH UGH UGH I WILL NEVER GET BACK THIS EVENING WHICH I HAVE ENTIRELY SPENT READING ABOUT META-BOOBIES AND WOULD MUCH HAVE PREFERRED TO SPEND READING ABOUT JON AND STEPHEN GETTING IT ON. THANK YOU EVER SO!

... yay for posting to your own comm, though?

... also, would totally purchase "OH JOHN RINGO NO" t-shirt. Because I need more t-shirts sporting fannish in-jokes, oh yes.

I've spent two *days* on it. Cry me a river.

(On the upside, my [journalfen.net profile] lgbtfest characters suddenly started talking to me in response.)

I might sign up for [journalfen.net profile] apocalyptothon! Talk some sense into me!!

... actually an August deadline sounds MARGINALLY more possible than the May ones for lgbtfest did. Augh.

You need to sign up for [journalfen.net profile] apocalyptathon! And write an apocalypse story! Because I almost did, and then I said no, one fest at a time dear and didn't, and that made me sad.
