Ximeria's Journal

It's been a hellishly hot day today, but I managed to get the last of the major cleaning done on the old flat -- so tomorrow I can start painting -- I'm hoping to be done tomorrow as well, but we'll see.

I'll have to start early, because once the afternoon hits, it gets hellishly hot in the flat -- and the sun's been beating down relentlessly for the past week plus some.

I was good to myself tonight -- after having goddessindia over this afternoon, I went with her home -- just to get out and although it was a lovely trip, there's about a gazillion bugs in the air and when you're on a bike... *yuck*

Right, so tonight, I came home, went in search of my old cappuchino machine and made myself a big one. Tripple espresso and a huge layer of milk froth ^____^

*enjoys caffeine induced coma*

I no longer have to sneak like sneaking thing and leech off people's wireless networks! (their own fault for not securing them)

My own's back up and running!!! This means I've truly moved into the new flat, nevermind the gazillion boxes still to unpack XD

Oh man. I wanted to do the following comment to this article but the site won't let me *pouts*

I'm still slightly amused to see how this was received on the American side of the pond. Seriously, it's a spin-off of Doctor Who, which has always been heavy on the humour and self-irony -- Torchwood might not be as well written, but its force is the crack-humour and the 'no, we're not taking outselves terribly serious' -- it's all good fun, it's not stereotypical sci-fi and I have to disagree with Mr. Perigard, John Barrowman is possibly one of the few who CAN pull off this part. Capt. Jack has to be played completely over the top or the character won't work and will become 'flat'. It was one of the first things I noticed when watching him in Doctor Who series 1. Then again, we all see different things in the show. I for one don't buy into Jack's twu wuve for Gwen. Jack'd shag and probably has shagged the whole team -- can't say I blame him. And the fans prefer to see him as omnisexual -- he's not limited to humans afterall. Really, get the qaint little labels right.


*slinks off with tail between the legs*

On another note, I'll be on the road most of the day today, so I might not get around to answering any of the conversation requests today -- hopefully this coming week will slow down a litte *whimpers* so that I can get around to it. So far I've only managed to do the Daniel Jackson w. Tenth Doctor request from jades_shadow

*sniffs*
Nah, smells like it always does XD

Right, so I'm off at the end of November with three crazy sophisticated ladies, nicci_mac, bertybertle and Pepe. We're heading to Stratford-upon-Avon...

*tries to contain squee*

To see David Tennant in Hamlet!!!

Directed by Gregory Doran
(The Royal Shakespeare Company)

Is it September yet? I mean, we get to see the Tennant and I get to meet two more fangirls XD

ETA:

*iz ded*

Am I right in assuming that Claudius will be played by... Patrick Stewart? I'll need an XXL droolbucket XD
