Mmph. Two posts tonight. Possibly. (shhhh.)

Fanbunny things first!

☀ ☀ ☀ [livejournal.com profile] morgaine22, in honour of S5 of SGA premiering this week, has been holding an week long SGA party at her LJ! She just capped the week off with this absolutely adorable John/Rodney fic (plus a manip!): Rodney Has Cheeseburger - McSheppy KITTY crack of PURE FRAKKING AWESOME. ALL OF YOU. GO. READ. COMMENT. THEY ARE CATS, GET YOURSELF OVER THERE.

☀ ☀ ☀ HOW DOES EVERYBODY FEEL ABOUT A BIG OL' BILLIE PIPER LIP!SPAM? You like that? THEN HERE, HAVE THE SEQUEL FEATURING DAVID & BILLIE LIP!SPAM ACTION AS BROUGHT TO US BY THE INDOMITABLE [livejournal.com profile] katrina87! [livejournal.com profile] alli_everyday, GET YOURSELF OVER THERE ASAP PLZ.

☀ ☀ ☀ A brief stopover in the Supernatural fandom brought me this: What Kind of Day Has It Been?, by [livejournal.com profile] musesfool. Crossover, Supernatural/Muppets. YES, PEOPLE, SUPERNATURAL/MUPPETS. BEST CROSSOVER EVAR, YO.

☀ ☀ ☀ Have procured a bit more vintage!Who for myself! Just one serial, as I couldn't afford City of Death (read: I's a cheap kitten) & the two places I went to didn't have Genesis of the Daleks. WHAT THE HELL.

But not to despair! I got Robot instead! Now excuse me while I get all capslocky with HAPPY.

- ZOMG HARRY!! (yes, I HAVE to double the exclamation points, my love for him has grown at least five times bigger than before) UNDERCOVER!HARRY! & SARAH! HER CLOTHES OMFG. I want all of them. Or at least bits & pieces of them. & ASDFGHJKL;LKJHGFDSA FOUR. GUH. Just . . . GUH. LOVE LIKE WHOA OMG. (& yes, my Harry/Sarah fangirlishness was quite high when they were locked in the room together. HARRY/SARAH WHEE.)

- Also? I LOVES THE BRIGADIER. He is AWESOME. & Benton is TEHLOLZ. I love his totally obvious crush on Sarah. Aww, is cute. Also, I think I could like UNIT. I'd taken them to be cold-hearted, evil, Doctor-hating bastards, but they couldn't be more different! (Well, at least what I've seen so far.)

- DUDES, FOUR. I am kind of NOT KIDDING when I say that he could possibly overtake Ten as my favourite Doctor. Just . . . I can't describe it, but I adore him! O, wait, maybe I can - he makes me think of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. He has that sort of playful, nonsensical aura around him, or at least that's how I see him a bit of the time. He's the sort of fellow you could totally imagine at one of the Hatter's teaparties, isn't he? He would bring the jelly babies, of course, & maybe a tale or two while you wait for your tea to cool.

Also, I see a lot of Four when I look at Ten. It's quite wonderful, really. Ten, though, is far more dreamlike than Four is, I think. More ethereal, in some ways. When he talks, I think. Not in the hyperactive way he usually does, but in that quiet, serious way he has. I see Four in him most of the rest of the time, especially when he's with Rose & Martha & wearing that utterly mad grin on his face.

Ten is a bit of restless starlight. Four is the earthier point of origin. Ten is a bit more spacefae, Four is just a little more fey.

::giggles:: O, listen to me, talking as if I know anything! I'm such a silly girl.

☀ ☀ ☀ I suddenly have a fierce desire to make a mixthing for Harry Sullivan. HE IS NOT GIVEN ENOUGH LOVE, BUT HE DESERVES IT.

& now, the girlishness! (the discussion of the Four/Sarah smut I may or may not have found will be saved for another time.)

☀ ☀ ☀ I discovered the cutest blogthing today! Cocoa! It is simply the sweetest & loveliest blogs that I've come across in recent days. So many lovely & inspiring articles!


Alice in Wonderland style! O, I want! (I really must get started on clearing my trunk out & making room for pretty, proper clothes.)

Dressing Like Your Heroes - I am just in.love. with this article! Though I have been doing this when the weather's good - my riverdresses & Four-inspired style! (O, I just loved that outfit. I must recreate it!) All of you, go, go see it!

Sweet & Sour Girls - hee, a perfect way to describe moi. I mean, really, just look at this post. ♥

How To Throw A Smashing Tea Party - I'm actually expressly forbidden to have people visit my (rather drab) home by my father, but I would simply love to throw a proper tea party! This is the sort of social entertaining that I am not at all adverse to!

(hmm. I really want to have a Hello Kitty picnic in the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park this summer. 'Tis a pity that I have no one to invite to one!)

Alice In Wonderland Photoshoot by Annie Leibovitz.

::giggles:: I'm mostly posting this because the last picture reminds me of Ten in The Girl in the Fireplace! But isn't it just a lovely world nonetheless? & I also found this gem linked in Miss Penelope's comments!

(lost in wonderland)

I felt that this deserved a mention all its own, it's that beautiful.

♥ & lastly, an interview with Miss Penelope herself!

☀ ☀ ☀ I've been doing a spot of reading lately, though not nearly as much as I did in my younger years.

I finished Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood this morning. I quite liked it, very much, in fact. It was beautiful, but with such a thin, yet piercing layer of sadness to it. Up next is South of the Border, West of the Sun. I'm also rereading Secret Diary of a Call Girl, which is fantastic & sexy, all things such books should be. I can't wait to see Billie in the role!

I also find that it's time for me to reread Lolita again. (of course my lusting after the Fourth Doctor has inspired this, whatever did you think?) I miss that book greatly. & I've an urge to see the original film again. (I've a copy of the 1997 version, but I've not seen it since I was fourteen, I think.)

☀ ☀ ☀ & lastly, have a song!



(& I do want to say thankyou to everyone who commented on my last post. You are all so lovely & I just don't deserve you all. ♥♥♥)

Is four the curly-haired one? My friend tells me that he's by far the best doctor (and he has good taste in these things).

Have you heard See Emily Play by Pink Floyd?

Just wanted to say I heart Haruki Murakami. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is also quite good. Norwegian Wood is one of those I can read over and over, though.

Tom Baker was the Doctor I watched with my dad. =)
