For my own purposes, a list of all the Eighth Doctor Adventures, with the one's I've read highlighted. (geeze I've not read many at all.) In future, I may put up links to things concerning each book, but this is it for now. Feel free to yell "OMG YOU HAVEN'T READ _________, READ IT RIGHT NOW."

( 74 books under the cut... )

Hey folks, if you want a holiday card from me, Drop your address by this post.

So, riverdresses asked that I put this up, so here it is. This is a mix for original!Fitz in the second half of the EDA Interference, and could apply to The Ancestor Cell as well.


2000 Years Till Dust

(Zip of Everything)



Track list and individual links under the cut.

( Vague spoilers for Interference? )

First of all, flist, are you interested in Fitz but know nothing about him? I'm gauging interest in an EDA read-along, so if you're interested, head over to act_three and put in a word!

As for me-

I've spent today figuring out what classes I'll be taking next semester, and I think I'll be able to fit them all in to graduate with my AA in English (emphasis in creative writing!) after the semester. ...and I have to figure out how to file for graduation since there's no information on the website.

Those classes will (hopefully) be:
Intro to Physics (with a lab) - fills the sciences requirement and doesn't require higher mathematics or protective eyewear. Physicsphysicsphysicsphysicsphysicsphysics phyyyyyysics physics.

Mythology - I e-mailed the professor when I was thinking of taking this class a couple semesters ago and expressed my worries about her textbook, which I've heard is largely inaccurate. She never responded to me...so I hope that she doesn't remember my name.

British Literature II - with the same teacher I took before, who is actually English and a good teacher...even though he called me Susan once (I am not called Susan).

Interpersonal Communication - a requirement which I have to re-take because I missed a major assignment while I had a fever of 103 and was coughing up a lung a couple weeks ago. (And he wouldn't give me an extension on the dang thing either.)

Self-Defense for Women - (not sure why just women. Can't guys learn to kick guys in the balls too?) with the same teacher I'm taking T'ai Chi from this semester, and is actually practical as well as filling the fitness requirement.

I also need to figure out if 1) I can get into a four year institution and 2) if I can afford it without taking out massive loans. The answer to both of these questions is most likely no, given that California colleges are currently restricting admissions, I'm not a particularly desirable candidate, and I have no money. :|

Rules:
Reply to this meme by yelling 'WORDS!', and I will give you five words that remind me of you.
Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you.
Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of esoteric/oblique.

You'll only get five words if you do include 'WORDS!' in a reply to this post, meaning you can safely comment (should you wish to do so) without having to play.

I got words from both dragonessa24 and nix_101, so here's nine words. Not ten, as they both gave me California to talk about.

( With Pictures! )

Couldn't find any icons for my Maxil account, so I made some! Have at them, if you like:



Usual restrictions apply: Credit is good, hot-linking bad yadda yadda.

ETA: I put up a Maxil post over at dear_multiverse, so feel free to go annoy him.

Ugh. Okay. I'm officially sick. Mom's had some bad bronchitis this past week and it seems like I've caught it. Whoo. At least it's not the pig sniffles.

I turned in my midterm for World History a couple days late...which I reaaaaallly hope he'll take. One thing about online classes is it's harder to fudge with the deadlines.

Now, I think I'll go...pass out or...Oh, right, I've got to write that paper about how Rosencrantz and Guildenstern fail at communicating yadda yadda.

I made a depressing mix (EP? It's about a half hour long) for the last bit of Charley's storyline. No fancy cover or anything. And single tracks because I am lazy. DEAL WITH IT, PEOPLE. &hearts


1. Symphony 9 & the Sunshine - Emily Wells

Tell em that you love em 'till the end of your days.
Tell em that you need em in a bad way.
Oh how happy is the look on your face,
When you know somebody and you want em to stay.
Memory is an old highway.
If you drive too long you might lose your way.

2. Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap

Spin me around again and rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets a mess with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years
They were here first

3. Symphony No. 5 - Gustav Mahler

(instrumental)

4. Cataracts - Andrew Bird

When our mouths are filled with uninvited tongues of others
And the strays are pining for their unrequited mothers
Milk that sours is promptly spat
Light will fill our eyes like cats
Light will fill our eyes like cats
Cataracts

5. Warm Air - Vanessa Mae

(instrumental)

6. Great Big Old World - Holidays on Ice

It's a great big old world
and it doesn't stop for anyone

Here is the thing what I stole from bonamoz

1. Who are you to me?
2. How long have we known each other?
3. When and how did we meet?
4. Do you know who I have a secret crush on?
5. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it?
6. Describe me in one word.
7. What was your first impression of me?
8. Do you still think that way of me now?
9. What reminds you of me?
10. If you could give me anything what would it be?
11. How well do you know me?
12. When is the last time you saw me?
13. What's the most fun we've had together?
14. What's the last thing you remember us talking about?
15. Are you gonna re-post this so I can say some random things about you?

I'd been thinking about how I'm going to get to Gallifrey One without a job or money this year, then it hit me: I've got a bond! One that my godmother bought for me when I was born. I don't know exactly how much it's worth, since I can't find any information online, but since I'm twenty-one now, it's worth as much as it ever will be...and that could be up to a thousand bucks. If it is, then I'm going to Gallifrey this year! I'll have to fill out the paperwork and turn it in.

IMO, it's a perfect use for a bond I've been hanging onto my entire life.

...and yes, I am aware of how incredibly geeky that makes me.

No word back on the casino job, so I guess they aren't interested. I'm thinking maybe I'd be better off if I had some sort of marketable skill, but the only ones I think of that'd also be fun to learn are lock picking and bar tending. ...and bar tending doesn't sound like very much fun. ...and I might get arrested practicing lock picking.

Last week I bought some black and white pillow ticking and some yellow dye, so I'm on my way to the girl!six costume I've been working on off and on for a while now. The actual sewing machine's broken, but mom's promised she'll take it in to get fixed. I just don't know when she's going to get around to it.

Also, got a neat shirt!


Like I said before, I've been re-reading Good Omens, and I got around to drawing a Hugh Laurie inspired Crowley:
( Under the Cut )

I drew Aziraphale too, but he looked too much like Stephen Fry and I drew the eyes a bit too high, so you don't get to see that one.

"Breaking reports via Bloody Disgusting website indicate that director John Landis announced at this weekend's Spooky Empire convention in Orlando that departing Doctor Who star David Tennant has been cast alongside English actor Simon Pegg in Landis's upcoming film Burke and Hare. If the film's IMDB article is accurate, Pegg will play the role of William Burke while Tennant fills the role of William Hare."

Funny, seeing that Tennant has already been in a story involving Burke and Hare with the Big Finish audios.

And it's supposed to be a dark comedy. Sounds awesome.

Anyone seen the original that this is a remake of?

(The rest of the article)

Not much to report on from the daily life of. I've been having a lovely time of hermiting myself away, especially since the weather's cooled off a bit and fall is coming on. Earlier this week I got a flu shot (for the regular flu, not the swine flu) so hopefully I won't end up getting sick this winter.

And I've organized the bookshelves in my room! They are now loosely categorized and not piled on top of piles. Though I seem to have mislaid my copy of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (I suspect it's under my bed), and I have two different paperback editions of Good Omens.

Speaking of...am I the only person who imagines Aziraphale and Crowley as early Fry and Laurie? I think someone suggested it to me a while ago and now it's stuck in my head.

The only other book I've got two of is because I've got it in German and in English. It's titled Die Blendung and Auto-da-fe, respectively. I'd say that the author (Elias Canetti) is one of my favorites, but I still haven't gotten through either of them. I have read through a book of his journals, which are absolutely wonderful.

I've got so much to read and here I find myself reading through Good Omens again. Well, it is a very good book.

( Pictures of my bookcases, because I am that sort of person: )

Shallow thoughts on Blakes 7 while I'm thinking about it:

-Up to Season 3 now.
-Apparently, bras cease to exist some time in the future. Better stock up.
-I liked the original Travis better. The second guy reminds me of Nicolas Cage and is often dressed up in what looks like leather wicker.
-Speaking of leather: Full leather outfits are nice, but probably not the best choice for stealth operations. Creak creak.

Edit because oh I forgot to mention! I made a twitter for Fitz. Follow him if that's your bag.

Stolen from...EVERYBODY.
