A mixed year for me.
It started off well - We went to MONA FOMA, I finished writing my novel, Continuum was a blast. But around the mid-year everything seemed to get bogged down. I had problems sleeping. Projects stalled at work. And I stopped writing. The second half of the year felt like wading against mud.

If you have time hunt down one of the live videos Trent has posted.
I listened to it a few times, said 'eh' and promptly forgot it came out, other than the fact K listened to it a few times. Then one night I started watching one of the live videos (I posted it here and can find the name if you are interested) to see the lighting design (phenomenal) and I just kept it on repeat. When back to the album and it quickly became a favourite.
If I knew I'd never read it I'd post you the The Iron Dragon's Daughter sequel. That's how much I hated that book.
rewatching Blake's Seven in my 20s taught me that the show I loved as a child was not the same as the show that actually aired on tv.
You mean in the sense that it's BETTER as an adult, right?
The solution is a dental device like a mouthguard that pulls my jaw forward while I sleep. I’ll try it, but it does cost about $1,800.
If it's what I think you can rent them, right? Or is this something different?

Given that The Iron Dragon's Daughter was meant to cleanse the genre with fire, a sequel seems a bit misplaced.
I didn't enjoy rewatching Blake's Seven. The two housemates I watched it with did.

It was a huge amount of effort for very little progress.
Just think of it all as Research & Preparation. *sage nodding*

Yes, I agree with you on the new series. Every time I give it another chance, I get very annoyed at the crutch of the sonic screwdriver. I have actually had some good experiences going back to the old stuff - I suspect you have to pick your episodes, but there seemed to be a lot more plot, and less deus ex machina that I've seen in the newer stuff.
Since I've recently been doing a fair bit of driving, I've been listening to the Big Finish audio dramas. They have a little bit more latitude in what they can write, and it's really made Doctors like Sylvester Mccoy and Paul Mcgann *really* come alive for me.
