Doctor Who, SFF, history, and other things I think about far too much
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…

This isn't a review of last week's Doctor Who episode. It's more a sort of word flail. Which I feel is only appropriate for an episode that made me actually flail - and suppress the urge to flail because dammit, I am trying to listen - multiple times. There are, obviously, spoilers under the read…
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…

One of the things I've been most remiss blogging about the last couple of weeks is Nine Worlds (tickets still available!), which is a most fine and excellent convention taking place in London in but ten days time (7-8 August). It's now in it's third year, and is a fabulous weekend of geek shenanigans with…
I assume they're faster anyway. This is because I had my first podcast recordings yesterday since I had NEW INTERNET installed. And it was amazing. Uploading, instead of taking a seriously cantakerous hour, was over in 3 mins, and that was for two podcasts, *and* the Skype call didn't even lag. It was ridiculously awesome.…
I'm in this rather fab new book that's coming out on June 4th: The Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who, an anthology of short stories and SCIENCE. And I may have just a *smidgen* of difficulty in mentioning it in a cool and professional manner because I got to write a short story about the Twelfth…
I was on two - count em, TWO - whole podcasts last week and neither one was Verity! and only one was about Doctor Who, because I'm a multi-facted and layered individual of ENIGMATICNESS. One of these fab podcasts is the ever so brilliant Reality Bomb, where Mr Burk and Mr Kennard let me ramble…
Shockingly, terrifyingly, it's been a decade since the new series of Doctor Who began. I'm trying to remember if I ever imagined that New Who would last ten years, back when the new series was first announced. I suspect not. I think I was so caught up in the excitement of having all those new…
Home from Gallifrey 2015 for over a week now. A nice quiet week as I recover from a hectic weekend of friends, panels, drinking, talking, and flailing at amazing costumes, but no con crud! I blame the fact I've been forcing myself to eat broccoli this year. Here are some of the things that brought…
I'm off to Gallifrey One aka Gally this weekend, and I'm trying to pack and I hate packing, so what's actually happening is tons of productive procrastination and no packing. Mostly I hope it's warm in Los Angeles. I am totally imagining the eye-rolling of certain friends as I type this since they have like…
