There are several things on the Twitters today that are making me ARGH, but this is one of the less rage-inducing ones, and more eye-rolly, so I can deal. Anyway, this is the story, and with context, you see why I'm more eyerolls than raging even though I did maayybe yell "NELLIE BLY" at the…

Star Wars, everything Star Wars, nananana Star Wars….
This was meant to be a totally proper and intelligent and thoughtful post about podcasts and the Hugo fancast category. Alas, that will have to wait till the morn as I am utterly knackered (no sympathy, if you were so inclined, it's wholly my own fault) and I think a super early night is in…

A week of blogging, also cake
So while I was having my Death Flu, I was getting annoyed at everything, but mostly myself, because one of the things I wanted to do this year was keep a more regular blog, and I was failing miserably. Fast forward to this week and hurrah! I've posted every day. Sometimes it's been in the…
Top 10 Tips for Being a Doctor Who Companion
I just watched the latest edition of the Doctor Who Fan Show, Tops Tips for Being a Companion, which made me Slightly Irate. For there were a bunch of lazy jokes about old skool Who costumes, ankle-twisting, and screaming. As jokes go about old telly, these are bleh; as jokes go on the official BBC…

HamilWho
Hello, lovely people! I spent an hour or so of today engaged on a terrible enterprise. Hamilton, that wildly successful musical (I say, just in case you don't know what the dickens I'm on about), has been mashed up with all sorts of other fandoms in all sorts of ways because Hamilton is kind of…
Podcast Recs: The Audio Guide to Babylon 5
It's Podcast Tuesday! (This is a terrible lie...it's not even Tuesday. Tuesday was delayed horridly by BT Internet going down NATIONWIDE. It was a terribly annoying six hours.) I don't care about your Internet problems. What is the name of today’s fine podcast goodness? The Audio Guide to Babylon 5. And who is responsible for…

Please do not aim your ships at us
Look, yes, obviously you shouldn't drink and drive, especially if what you're driving a a 7000 tonne fucking SHIP, and yet I still feel everyone should take a moment today to commemorate the end of the no doubt noble career of the Russian sailor who drank half a litre of rum before aiming his ship…
Happy International Coffee Day!
I say international...but the wiki entry I read to check whether it was just the USA or I felt that I could join in without feeling like I was contributing to American cultural imperialism had a lot of "citation needed", so, yes, it's *possibly* National Coffee Day in the UK too. I'm currently enjoying my,…
A few quick thoughts about The Witch’s Familiar
I hope I'll have time to write up another, ah, concise and objective review type thing later this week about the latest Doctor Who episode, but right now I'm rewatching for tonight's Verity! recording, and there are, as you might guess, rather a lot of things I love about this episode, but the one that…

Everybody needs good podcastings (sung to the tune of Neighbours)
This is a post about podcasts, which are aces, but first I need to make myself a GIANT NOTE so that next time I move my computer I'll be less concerned about 'workspace' and 'plenty of natural light' (all those windows are doing is eating what little heat there is, dammit) and more concerned about…
