Well, I guess it was about bloody time for a new Layout. I spent way too much time on making that header. I'm not quite happy with the overall look yet, but it's 4:30 a.m., so it will have to do for now.

Also, my Doctor Who Series 2 DVD box arrived today and... well, that Cyberman-head-box-thing is a bit crap, isn't it? I wish I hadn't bothered ( Read more... )

I've just come back from watching Casino Royale. And I have to say, this is one kick-ass film. And it has, quite possibly, one of the most painful torture scenes I've ever seen in a movie (not counting splatter films like Hostel and Saw). And you don't actually see anything, which is, given the nature of the scene, quite fine with me.
I can't be ( Read more... )

Chapter 3: Scratching the surface

Jack didn’t sleep during this night, pacing through the city, sorting his doubts and filing them away for future use. He knew that, if he thought too much about the risks of this deal, he would not be able to accept it. He couldn’t let his pride get in his way now, not when there was so much to be gained.

Long ( Read more... )

Chapter 2: Choose

Jack watched the dim light shining through the golden liquid of the Whisky before him.

He had had many lovers in his life, but there had always been one rule in all his affairs: Everything had to be consensual. In a better world, he would never even have considered taking up an offer like this, but did he really have any ( Read more... )

Chapter 1: Whisky and an offer

„Sorry mate, but I really can’t help you. Everyone wants to leave this planet, if I started to take passengers I would soon get overrun, not to mention the trouble I would get if the Authorities found out.”

Jack stifled a sigh and shook the woman’s hand. He had been trying to hitch a ride for the last five weeks ( Read more... )

This has to be my favourite episode up til now. I'm a sucker for base under siege stories, especially when they are all dark and creeping around in corridors. I actually had to catch my breath a few times when I first watched it, because it was so tense.
I'm also really glad that we got to see more of Ianto and I felt really sorry for him in the end ( Read more... )

He needs some time to take in what he’s seeing. A blue police box fading away. The Tardis fading away. The Doctor leaving. The Doctor leaving him behind on a space station.

He waits, hopes, telling himself that the Doctor just went to collect Rose and will come back for him. But the tiny, evil part of his consciousness, telling him that he’s been ( Read more... )

I just got an email from the reclamation office of the company where I bought my MP3 player and they say that it's completely kaput and now I can either get my money back or buy something else from them with it. I won't be able to get the same again for that price, because it was a used one (which is why it broke twice, argh), but it had 40GB of ( Read more... )

Now, The Ghost Machine was quite awesome, wasn't it? It looks like Jack is going a bit emo in his old days, but I really like the way he behaves now. Not all happy-go-lucky and more mature and stuff. But still funny, when he doesn't yell at his subordinates for going emo over a rape that has been 40 years ago. But seriously, I really liked how Owen ( Read more... )
