  Breakfast conversation in the House o'Squid

  Posted: July 12th, 2007, 5:53pm MST

  Tags:  real life   [edit]

  "Weaves, is it wrong that I kind of ship Granny Weatherwax with Mustrum Ridcully?"
  
  "No. I have leanings in that direction myself."
  
  "Oh, good. Isn't it nice how I can ask that question and you understand it? I'm going to post this conversation to LiveJournal."
  
  So I did.

  So the first pic from "Voyage of the Damned" is out, and ding ding ding! We have another maid's uniform.
  
  Oh, sorry, waitress uniform.
  
  It might be subconscious oppression of teh womenz, but I'm starting to think someone in BBC Wales just has a fetish. Or is that inherently oppressive by its reduction of a series of women to the levels of bodies in costumes?
  
  I have no idea what I'm talking about, so here's a picture of Russell T Davies in a maid's outfit.

  Poking authors

  that wuz gud, rite moar pls
  
  Which is to say, there's a petition demanding that JK Rowling write more Potter books.
  
  Now, look here, kids.  Just because Doyle brought Holmes back from Reichenbach, and just because the BBC resurrected Doctor Who, doesn't mean you can just go around demanding that authors extend their carefully structured, painstakingly plotted seven-book series.  It's really the first step down a dangerous path that ends in the poor author being imprisoned by Kathy Bates, and no one wants that for poor Jo.  And plus, she's never struck me as the kind of woman who takes orders with grace, so if you try demanding a new Potter book, she'd be just as likely to give you The Thrilling Adventures of the Dursleys As They Enjoy a Driving Tour of the Slums of Europe.  And, okay, I'd read it, but that's ... really just my problem.
  
  Anyway, if that's not enough to dissuade, you, consider this: WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE INTERNET?  Here we are, preparing for the Almighty Wankpocalypse to End All Wankpocalypse...s.  This is serious business!  SRS BSNS!!!  I don't think the internet could take the strain if JKR started releasing "final HP novels" the way John Farnham does farewell tours.  Oh, it might take the strain for a while, but then it would crack under the weight of expectations, and collapse in a pile of stray blog comments and shattered lolcats. 
  
  And then where would we be?

  Today I woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a small bus, which is a big step up from feeling like I'd been hit by a large truck. I'm still sick, sore, cranky and congested, but things are getting better.
  
  On the downside, it sounds like weaverandom has picked up the bug.
  
  I'm strongly tempted to leave the house today. Of course, I'm also strongly tempted to have a nap. WHAT TO DO?
  
  ETA: When a trip downstairs in search of clean underwear leaves you exhausted and dizzy? It's too soon to be planning expeditions.

  Regarding the S4 casting spoiler

  I just watched "The Runaway Bride" again, to get another look at Donna with her new context in mind.  And seriously, she's going to be brilliant.  There's something quite terrifying about the way she takes the entire world and remoulds it to suit herself, and then she sees how small she is in comparison to the cosmic scale, and she doesn't get upset or go insane, she just ... copes.  And at the end, she walks away stronger than she was at the beginning -- it's easy to imagine that, after her abortive wedding and near-apocalyptic Christmas, Donna's less brittle and needy.
  
  What I think a lot of the detractors are forgetting is that she's much more quiet by the end.  Tate can do the emotional stuff.  I'm not a huge fan of her show, but there's no denying that she can totally bury herself in a role.  I'm willing to predict that, by the end of season 4, Donna will be "Catherine Tate" as much as Rose was "Billie Piper".  Which is to say, it will vary from person to person, but I also think Tate's more experienced than Piper, and hopefully less prone to overacting.
  
  And she has a family, and her parents are together, which makes a nice change.  I noticed a pretty young redhead in the background at the reception, so perhaps Donna has a sister?  A high-achieving younger sister?  That would work for me.  It makes sense.
  
  Frankly, as long as she doesn't randomly fall in love with the Doctor, we should be safe.  I hope she settles for hitting him a lot.  Of all the women the Doctor has shared significant interactions with, Donna pings as the least interested.  By far.  Even Harriet Jones was eyeing him up in his new body, the shameless hussy.  Of course, that was before he destroyed her career and set in motion a chain of events that caused ... oh, you know.
  
  In short: the only thing better than Donna as a regular companion would be Jackie.

  Unfortunate smushed ship name of the day

  Posted: July 6th, 2007, 2:24am MST

  Tags:  hp   [edit]

  "Hanny". Which, judging by the context (a sig on DeviantArt) is meant to be "Harry/Ginny".
  
  Can't these young whippersnappers just use proper, obvious ship names, like PumpkinPie and HeRon and OBHWF and Snupin and ... stuff?

  Regarding the Christmas casting spoiler

  In the wake of the announcement that Kylie Minogue will be appearing in the 2007 Christmas special, two disturbing facts have come to light:
  
  1. There are people on the internet who don't know Kylie was an actress.
  
  2. There are people on the internet who DON'T KNOW WHO KYLIE IS.
  
  *sigh*
  
  People, people, people! What am I to do with you?
  
  Kylie Minogue: born in Melbourne in 1968, she started out as a child actress in various Australian soap operas. Her more-talented, less-charismatic sister Dannii, meanwhile, regularly sang on Young Talent Time, occasionally appearing with Kylie.
  
  Kylie's big break came when she was cast as Charlene in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. (Other famous people spawned by Neighbours, for better or for worse: Russell Crowe, Alan Dale, Natalie Imbruglia, Holly Valance, Rahda Mitchell, Brook Satchwell ... oh, and Natalie Bassingthwaite, who now performs vocals for the Rogue Traders, and whose song you probably remember from "The Sound of Drums".)
  
  Kylie stayed with Neighbours for two years, in which time she won a number of popular awards. When I was small, my friends and I used to fight over who would play her character, Charlene, in our games.
  
  Kylie acting:
  
  
  
  She's not actually a good actress by any stretch of the imagination, but she has presence and charm.
  
  In 1988, she had a number one hit with a cover of "Locomotion", and soon left Neighbours to pursue a full-time music career.
  
  The "Locomotion" video:
  
  
  
  She enjoyed considerable success as a pop-dance artist for the next few years, but eventually rebelled against her girl-next-door image. In the mid-nineties, her songs and image -- she changes her image as frequently as Madonna -- became more alternative, a trend that culminated in her 1997 Impossible Princess album. She wrote most of the songs on this album, and it's quite brilliant.
  
  From Impossible Princess -- the video for "Did It Again":
  
  
  
  Sales, however, were not brilliant, and after this she returned to her pop roots. She finally had a hit in America with "Can't Get You Out of My Head".
  
  In the last few years, she has struggled with breast cancer, completed a massive world tour and set about recording her new album. She is immensely famous and popular in Britain and Australia, and is particularly beloved by the gay community.
  
  So now you know.

  I see it now. This is my karmic reward for an unhealthy fascination with influenza epidemics. Operative word, "unhealthy".

  Apparently David Tennant thought it would ...

  Apparently David Tennant thought it would be cute to dress up as HBPflashback!Dumbledore for the OotP premiere?
  
  Not that I don't love a man in a plum-coloured suit (okay, it's more of a burgundy, BUT STILL), but velvet? He looks like a sofa. A really skinny sofa with a five o'clock shadow, but still.
  
  (Love Sophia's dress, though. It's quite early '90s -- I think Mariah Carey wears something almost identical on the cover of her first album -- but she makes it look good.)
