Happy Birthday!
Here's to happy Torchwood memories; hope you're staying safe and well in these trying times. My current obsession is the Amazon/BBC television series "Good Omens," starring the brilliant David Tennant and Michael Sheen as the demon and angel who fumble their way into thwarting Armageddon and realize along the way that they totally love the earth ( Read more... ) -
Leonard Nimoy
About an hour ago I read that Leonard Nimoy had been hospitalized with chest pains late last week. I hadn't seen any news about it from my flist, so I want to be sure that everybody who shares my love for the actor and his iconic character will be sending good thoughts his way. At 83, and suffering from COPD, he'll be going through a pretty rough ( Read more... ) -

Pete Seeger died yesterday at 94. His sister Peggy wrote this song, which I've loved for about 50 years. Rest in Peace to an icon of music and social justice. The world is a bit less joyous today. -
Happy Birthday to Blackbird_song!
You were one of the first really marvelous Torchwood writers I found, and your talents are exceeded only by your eloquence, civility, and wisdom. You've shown us, when too many of us needed to be shown, that it is possible to be both passionate and respectful. And I love your Star Trek TOS fics ( Read more... ) -
Happy Halloween meme!
Elrhiarhodan has a great meme which I'm trying out here. I've never done a meme, so please don't laugh too hard at me. Comment on this post by saying "Trick or treat", and I will offer you a treat, even if it's as feeble as a "Thank you for being a friend." But it could be a prompt, or a comment on a story of yours, or a link to something ( Read more... ) -

Hi everybody!
Just a quick update, and thanks to my daughter for the most awesome Mother's Day present ever.
I had my first chemo session last week, and everything is going well. Torchwood is still providing a lot of distraction and enjoyment, especially my friends' fics and the virtual season. Thanks again to all of you!
And now to the awesome ( Read more... ) -
New Year's Eve
We're just short of four hours away from the new year, and I've been thinking a lot about this past year and the ups and downs we've all had. Overall, RL has been pretty good this year; my husband and I are still reasonably healthy and enjoy each other's company almost all the time. The grandchildren are beautiful, healthy, and happy, with what ( Read more... ) -

Devastating deaths of television characters
Well, Ianto is dead. All the rumors were true, and, as blackbird_song pointed out, people we trusted have lied to us. RTD isn't that big a surprise, but Barrowman and Gareth? They encouraged fans of the relationship by saying that we would enjoy it, and then blindsided us. I haven't seen the episodes yet, but I'll keep the DVDs when they come, ( Read more... )
