Back Fence Ramblings
Jun. 28th, 2009 12:02 am- 00:14 @AlasdairStuart You realise that I've now got hideous, glorious ideas forming about vampire snowmen. With baby carrots for fangs. #
- 02:34 It's 2:30am. Just finished Personal Effects. Review will come when it's not 2:30am. General verdict? Awesome with a capital AWE. #
- 02:37 That does not change the fact that it's 2:30am, I can't sleep and I blame @jchutchins and high-octane Moroccan coffee. Still, awesome book. #
- 02:39 (I would have finished it sooner, but there were breaks for dinner, coffee, Twitter and Buffy.) #
- 12:59 @dodgyhoodoo Indeed. By the time you get home, I might even have had a chance to reread. *g* #
- 13:03 @dodgyhoodoo Big or little? I have two versions. #
- 13:06 @dodgyhoodoo Small = 300 x 200. Big = 1024 x 683 #
- 13:10 @dodgyhoodoo Ah; see below. I gave ya both. (Well, maybe 683 x 1024 - I tend to give height first, but Properties gave it the other way.) #
- 15:37 @Asmenedas .................WALRUSES? #
- 15:45 @Asmenedas Yeah, I get that bit but WALRUS? I'd have said badger. At least they're more land-based. Or maybe raccoon. #
- 16:26 @Asmenedas Depends on the day. BBC1 is the safest bet. Why? #
- 17:28 I hear downpour. #
- 17:32 @Asmenedas Oh, shut up. It's been very hot and humid and sunny lately and any break in the humidity is good. #
- 17:41 @Asmenedas Besides, it's not just soggy dreary London rain. It's a THUNDERSTORM. #
- 17:43 @Asmenedas Around here? Yep. Generally not enough heat-humidity to get a really good storm front here. #
- 19:55 Oh yeah. I should be recording Ch21. At least it's cooled off... #
- 20:27 @CourtCat I didn't say I'd actually started yet - just that I should. Soon, though! #
- 21:09 @CourtCat @celticlibrarian I had issues with the Torchwood S1 finale. I much preferred the S2 finale. But then, James Marsters, #
- 21:10 @CourtCat @celticlibrarian (Which is also part of the reason I liked S2, ep 1 so much. That and "Bloody Torchwood!".) #
- 21:11 Oh, sod, this means I have to write another 'Previously'. I HATE those. #
- 21:14 @celticlibrarian @CourtCat Except the police, for some reason. Same way everyone in Sunnydale knows about Buffy bar the cops. #
- 21:19 @celticlibrarian @CourtCat Makes sense, though - it's the 'norms' all this shit happens to, and they don't tell cops 'cos they'd sound nuts. #
- 21:21 @celticlibrarian @CourtCat And unless they dosed the entire water supply with Retcon, they can't make everyone forget. :) #
- 21:22 @CourtCat @celticlibrarian Yeah, though context here is, "Excuse me ... but did you happen to see a blowfish driving a sports car?" #
- 21:25 Aw crap. Recording's gonna mean shutting the window for a bit - microphone might pick up rain-noise. #
- 21:41 I'm beginning to think that this is not my night for recording. Or maybe I should do a microphone-free practice run first. #
- 21:51 @CourtCat Yeah, it got a bit stupid. #
- 22:23 @CourtCat Yes ... because the Cap'n Jack thing doesn't work for me. Way too amiable in his charm. #
- 22:23 @CourtCat Wait 'til you meet Cap'n John Hart. You'll see what I mean. #
- 22:25 @CourtCat Nyeh. I still think he's more John Hart. You'll see. And I don't really see Ten either - Gregory doesn't do Crackweasel. #
- 22:26 @CourtCat (Unless the 'ten' there was actually 'tendencies' truncated. Obviously Who on the brain.) #
- 22:29 @CourtCat Haven't seen much Craig, so couldn't say. #
- 23:23 @jchutchins Oh, STOP IT. That 'noise' is going to creep me out for WEEKS thanks to you! :P #
- 23:28 It occurs to me that I must really, really hate my brain. Like, Oath of the Crossed Swords, Deliverance-vendetta hate. #
- 23:29 Evidence 1: I watched Neon Genesis: Evangelion in two sittings, and Serial Experiments: Lain in one. First time 'round. #
- 23:29 Evidence 2: I watched Battle Royale on my own, after midnight, with all the lights off. #
- 23:30 Evidence 3: I read the creepiest parts of Personal Effects: Dark Art at midnight, with MOST of the lights off. #
- 23:31 Evidence 4: I was a Changeling ST for a chat-based online game. The only time you see worse than overtwinked Sidhe is overtwinked Exalted. #
- 23:32 @AlasdairStuart *blush* Thanks, and yay! As to my brain ... it gifts me with mad stories and punishes me with chronic migraine. Woohoo. #
- 23:34 @AlasdairStuart Well, you've just reduced me to tears of laughter with just that, and I probably scared the neighbours. So ... yes, please! #
