I remember watching Billie Piper in her first proper TV acting job, a BBC adaptation of one of the Canterbury Tales, and I *loathed* her. I thought she couldn't act for toffee, to me she was still an annoying teenage bubblegum pop singer who was flailing around out of her depth. As a result I didn't bother watching Doctor Who last year until after ( Read more... )

This week's Doctor Who was OK and everything, but when it finished I turned over to Doctor Who Confidential on BBC3 and it was all about the upcoming series of Torchwood and OMGYAY John Barrowman and talk of exciting adult, drama-based storylines and new characters and pansexuality and hee I can't wait! I think I'm definitely more excited for the ( Read more... )

My current favourite form of procrastination is watching random videos online. I whiled away yesterday evening scouring Youtube for ice skating videos, and have developed a bit of a thing for Evgeny Plushenko. My god, his *hands*. And he's so achingly musical. I lurve him.

It is HOT. Summer has hit with full force: the past week has been the first consistently warm and sunny one this year. Good things about this are: sunshine makes me feel happy, I can spend my lunchbreaks picnicking and reading in the park, I can legitimately wear big dark sunglasses which means I can stare at interesting people on the bus without ( Read more... )

Evidently I have survived the weekend's trip down memory lane. It was very bizarre but also kind of fantastic. I'm really glad I went. The strangest thing was that literally all of the old friends I met up with - who are all my age (23) or younger - are now either pregnant or have children. As, I gather, are quite a lot of the ones I *didn't* meet ( Read more... )
