Fandom notes and queries

This is going to be a standard fandom post because my real life is over for the time being.

Firstly, I want to revise but may end up watching the Eurovision Song Contest. Why is Europop so compelling? A couple of years ago Becca downloaded the Estonian entry and we were all listening to it for weeks.

Secondly, dwcanon_fodder has only been in existence for twenty-four hours and is already the most useful fic resource in existence. I've spent a happy half-hour reading through the entire thing, and while it occasionally confuses me more than i enlightens me, it's still fun. I particularly like the eight-comment explanation attached to one of my posts of why the Eighth Doctor threatens to shoot himself.

Thirdly, The Empty Child is on tonight, much yay. The BBC have billed it as scariest ever (there was a kerfuffle about the fact it featured cracking skull noises that are apparently too scary for young children) and it has a new character, Captain Jack Harkness, who is the first character in the show's forty-year history to be ( mini-spoiler )

Yay!

Fourthly, Chemistry revision. Really. Study leave has started and I am not allowed to fail.

Doctor Who - The Empty Child

I posted in new_who about the time change tonight, and meant to post in my personal journal but totally forgot. Looking at my flist now, I feel horribly guilty. Sorry, all you bereft people. Sorry, sorry.

Moving swiftly on, I was expecting a homage to The Unearthly Child. That didn't happen, really.

I watched Confidential, which was rather fun, and they played Keane! I got way too excited as strains of Somewhere Only We Know drifted over the background of Rose, the Doctor and Jack. And after that came the now essential squeefest with hathy_col.

We both missed the bad wolf reference (anyone?) but have since made our plan for our Doctor Who geekery day. Tuesday will be spend geeking out over End of the World and City of Death, and then I'm tutoring her sister Megan. Who said you can't mix business with pleasure?
