Of the Friend kind: Mel is quoting Lins (among others, with due credit) in an updated version she just posted of the Who Picture I Don't Understand : ---- Of the Tesh-nu-kill-logical kind: I just dropped 20-odd dollars on a gizmo that will allow me to connect a 10-year-old laptop, running a bitchin' fast Win '98 and with a broken power cord, to our router. Not wirelessly, mind you, but through...

Four Podcasts in one day. Well, for reasons I'm about to describe, I didn't listen to two of them for long. Shakespeare's Sonnets, Read by a Guy From NY I didn't even make it past the introduction, which started: "They say I have to read this stuff and hey, service is better served than time, y'know? So here are Shakespeare's sonnets and I'm supposed to say what I think about them. I feel so stupid...

As I think I've mentioned, at least obliquely, I'm understudying the Widow in Shrew , because Kate is getting married one of the performance weekends, so the Widow is understudying Kate and it made sense to have me understudy her instead of trying to hire in another actor for a small role for one weekend. So, as Murphy's Law would have it, I was asked last week to go to rehearsal tomorrow and Tuesday...

Now you know why my roomie has the "LJ - There's a 12-step program for that" icon. Odds and bobs of general interest around the flist: tamnonlinear talked about the chantey sing and linked to a version of the song she did. I now have "Logdriver's Waltz" stuck in my head. Share my pain . There's a new Who community: did_them_all . The title pretty much explains everything. :D ...

Hell, I only figured out last week that "Torchwood" is an anagram for You-Know-Who. But since I can host photos and post polls, I'm passing on the love for the 300 of you who DO get it. From Mel: So, I went down to the Bay... ...and saw the water tower which is the 'tourist entrance' to the Torchwood Hub. It was covered in strawberry decals. ... I swear I'm going to start a caption contest...

Earlier today, a Friend here bemoaned the demands that the beauty industry puts on people of her sex and/or gender. She ended it with the following reading from the Book of Threats: If I ever meet the person who wrote 'I Enjoy Being a Girl,' I swear I will beat him to death with a purse. Filled with change. Boy can my wife relate. Shortly after leaving for work today, she finished putting on...

Donna is my hero. I want to be her when I grow up. Totally. Not once did the (fully expected and accepted) Geek Heart Attack happen. O.0 Whoever wrote this actually knew what they were talking about. I loved that. Now, of course, to be DW relevant, at some point we were going to have to take a sharp left turn from historicity and go for the crack. Otherwise, what would they be doing there? But...
