riverdresses: (≈ new wave specs appeal)
[personal profile] riverdresses
Eye exam tomorrow morning at nine-thirty. Grrrr. Definitely not looking forward to sporting my Tenth Doctor/Clark Kent specs or lacking my Edie Sedgwick-esque eye makeup. But I need an eye exam & more contacts quite badly, so sacrifices must be made, alas.

Damn, why don't I ever buy waterproof eye makeup? Waterproof eye makeup & defogger for my specs.

Screencapping continues to be a pain in my arse & there's a good chance that I'm just going to have to do it manually - screencapping is always nice, but doing it manually in VLC is such a drag - tedious, tiring & frustrating. But my caps just . . . vanish if I try to do it automatically, so if I want caps, I'll just have to do it all by hand. Ah, well. I've got some pretty subject matter to work with, so maybe it'll be less of a chore! It'll just take longer to get it all done.

& in less wah-wah-wah, I went skipping off to [livejournal.com profile] fanmix in search of Zod/Tess mixes & whilst I came up empty-handed (booo!) for them, I found - & yes, I'm shocked that I'm even going with this; but crack is fun - a really nice Zod/Lois mix! (Again, my shock is almost immeasurable, but Pandora is wicked shippy if you liked those two. & the phone fakeouts & Salvation up until the phonebooth scene are also pretty shippy. I'd . . . read it? & okay, maybe ship it. But I'm too busy scheming on how to promote moar Zod/Tess to think of them.)

I also forced myself to sit through watched Superman II last weekend. It was . . . well, not my thing, but it was nice. & I thought the fortress of solitude looked really Gallifreyan in design, which amused me during all the dull bits, i.e., the non-Zod or Clark bits.

& you know, the weirdest thing? I came out slightly hearteyes for Clark Kent. But then again, I've never been overly fond of Superman - he bores me, actually, & I was a Batman girl as a child. But Clark? Awww! He gets me right in my heart because of that sweet awkwardness he has. I like cutely awkward sorts!

Hmm. I remember once talking with [livejournal.com profile] nentari about how Sarah Jane Smith, in her early serials with Three, was very Lois Lane-esque herself, even in her wardrobe & overall look. I definitely saw that in the film & I sort of see it in Smallville!Lois too, even though I don't think she & Sarah are as much alike there. I think Smalliville!Lois is maybe a bit more Martha Jones-esque (especially in Pandora!) than Sarah-esque, but they're still a fair bit alike. But, hey, I loved Martha too, so it's a win-win situation all around.

& I'm pretty sure all of that preamble was just so I could mention how the Genesis song Me and Sarah Jane made me think of Clark & Lois without everyone thinking I'd lost my mind. (well, it sort of does! I think you just have to use your imagination to make it fit a bit.)

I went back to using my Twitter today at [livejournal.com profile] wordsindreams' enabling suggestion, since she's using hers more lately. I'm riverdresses there as well, should you want to follow me! (I update way too much there; you've been warned)

Hmm. Sort of want to practise my eye makeup now in lieu of of being able to wear any tomorrow - I know some of it will stay on & make it look like I have some on, so I'd have more of a Nico-esque, rather than Edie-esque look.

Also, LJ fucked around with the tags again, & made it so that any tag with a slash is basically a broken link, so I have to start reorganising my tags soon. GAH, WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH THE OLD SYSTEM, REALLY.

Edit: AAAAH OMG, THE MAKER OF SAID MIX MADE A BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL ZOD & ZOD/LOIS ICONS FUCK YES! ::DANCES:: (It's been a bitch to find good, gorgeous, awesome Zod-centric icons. I DO NOT APPROVE. ::hisses:: brb, swiping & uploading all of them.)

Edit II: I forgot to add above, that after a little thinkythink (& seeing the Zod/Lois icons I flailed about above), I've come to the conclusion that Zod/Lois = Simm!Master/Martha, but somehow, not as squick-inducing for me. (I can read Simm!Master/Martha, but it kind of makes me uncomfortable & I've never figured out why.) Zod/Lois, on the other hand is just hot & twisted, & not like Zod/Tess - that's just evil & hot. So I could feasibly enjoy them more than I ever could Simm!Master/Martha. Go figure.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited too, though I still have the feeling I bored them. *grins* Ooh, and I've already sent them my letter for next week's podcast - let us hope it'll reach them before they record it since, as I've mentioned, they usually do it on Mondays (Tony will spend the rest of the week editing it):

Dear Tony, Jo! and Bob,

Just a small note to ask if you'll be reviewing the Companion Chronicle "Night's Black Agents" when you return to the Sixth Doctor & Jamie audios - and when will you get back to them, since I'm curious to know what you thought of "Legend of the Cybermen".

And if I may, I'd like to make a few suggestions regarding the Companion Chronicles:
• The two Victoria Waterfield audios, "The Great Space Elevator" and "The Emperor of Eternity", the first one being a base-under-siege adventure that would have worked well as part of series 5, and the latter being an interesting historical;
• "The Glorious Revolution", narrated by Jamie, which is a great take on the consequences of changing history;
• "The Stealers from Saiph", featuring the first Romana, which is a good period piece and is made more interesting by the fact that Mary Tamm plays all the characters - the only time this has happened so far in these audios;
• And finally, "The Suffering", a great exercise in storytelling narrated by Vicki and Steven.

All the best,
Patricia


Well, I picked it because the Flashing Blade Gang is doing the Key to Time series in order and that would give me the chance to send them more feedback, and also because the girls love stories with castles and princesses; I would have shown them Planet of Giants instead if it wasn't for that.
Anyway, they loved it; they think Romana I is very pretty, they think Four is mad, they adore K9, and they booed loudly every time Count Grendel was onscreen (Cate also told me she thought his wart was staring at it). Also, they got REALLY scared at the silly monster from episode 1, which I found rather odd since they usually laugh at badly-made monsters and I feel that one fits into the category.
Oh, and I don't know if I'll add this to my letter to the Flashing Blade gang, so I'll let you know now: the girls have nicknames for all the Doctors they have seen so far:
* Two: The Funny Doctor who hangs out with Skirt Boy and the pretty girls
* Four: The Crazy Doctor
* Eight: The Naked Doctor (they've only seen his regeneration so far)
* Nine: The Doctor with the nice smile
* Ten: The Cute Doctor
* Eleven: The Doctor who is mean to bread

::tickles you:: I bet you didn't! If you had, then they probably wouldn't have read it at all. :D

YIPPEE, AUDIOS! ::JUMPS UP & DOWN:: I hope they take some of your suggestions - I'd love to hear about Stealers From Saiph!

Ah, I see - though I noted below that the girls haven't seen anything of One's era . . . ;) But I'm glad they liked it, even though I think it's a bit weak. & YAAAAAAAAAY FOR ROMANA! ::claps hands::
& LOLZWHUUUUUUT THE NAKED DOCTOR! ::FALLS OVER WITH HAPPY GIGGLES:: The girls have aptly named him! APPROVED & JUST WAIT TIL THEY SEE THE TVM. ;D

But Jo fell asleep while Tony was reading it!

YES, AUDIOS! Since the weeks featuring Bob are dedicated to the audios, I felt it was appropriate to ask them that - let's hope my e-mail has reached them before they recorded it so that it retains its appropriateness.

In case you want to see their schedule for their next weeks, here's what I found at their website:
1-69 (the last one) The Stones of Blood
1-70 (next Sunday) The Similarity Engine (Jago & Litefoot audio)
1-71 The Androids of Tara
1-72 Situation Vacant
1-73 The Power Of Kroll

Oh, and I've written my first draft of my Androids of Tara letter. I'll let it simmer until Sunday, in case Tony or Bob reply to my other letter with something that requires an answer from my part (you never know), or in case I feel like adding something else, but the main gist will be this:

Since my young cousins (AKA the terrible twins) have been begging me to show them some more Classic Who, and since your recent reviews have made me want to revisit the Key to Time series, I’ve decided to show them “The Androids of Tara”. Needless to say, they loved it. But then again, it’s a story with doppelgangers, princesses, castles, swordfights, silly hats and K9 - what else could two fairytale-obsessed little girls want?
Also, it was refreshing to re-watch this in their company, as their reactions would sometimes surprise me. For instance, I was expecting them to greet the Taran monster who attacks Romana in episode 1 with laughter, as they did with the Absorbaloff, but instead they screamed so loud that deaf people in China must have caught it, and literally hid behind the sofa in terror. Also, when the Doctor and his friends were trying to enter the throne room in episode 2 while the whole court waited for his arrival, they were biting their nails with the most anxious expression I have ever seen in my life - and when the Doctor was struggling to open the lock, while the other fought, one of them shouted “I can’t take this any more!” They also booed Count Grendel and gave him the thumbs-down every time he appeared onscreen, which I found funny. Cate also claimed Grendel’s wart was staring at her and that it was freaking her out; I’m still trying to work out what to say to something like that.
So, in a nutshell, this serial is yet another one that has the terrible twins’ seal of approval. They loved Tom Baker’s Doctor, they loved Romana, and they now want a K9 of their own.
I’d also like to say that they have come up with a way to describe each of the Doctors they have met so far, and always refer to them in those terms when asking me to show them something Who-related. In order of when they first discovered them:
Christopher Eccleston is the Doctor with the nice smile.
David Tennant is the cute Doctor.
Matt Smith is the Doctor who is mean to bread.
Patrick Troughton is the funny Doctor who hangs out with Skirt Boy and the pretty girls.
Paul McGann, due to them so far only seeing the regeneration scene from the TV Movie, is the Naked Doctor.
And finally, Tom Baker has now been dubbed the Crazy Doctor.

I'm really wanting to show them something of One or Three. Spearhead from Space (or, alternatively, Terror of the Autons) might be one of the next items in my list, as my father was rewatching Rose a couple of days ago and they were all "YAY AUTONS!"
Well, he WAS naked when they saw him, you know... :P

She was probably tired from all of the talking she does! ::glomps::

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ::PARTIES:: BUT . . . I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY OF THE AUDIOS PLANNED. D: I HAVE Situation Vacant, but not the Jago&Lightfoot ones (I want to buy those). I can't bring myself to listen to non-Charley audios. :(

& I love the story of how the girls enjoyed Androids of Tara - particularly the bit about Grendel's wart. ::gigglygiggle:: & yaaaaaaay, they want a K9 too! What do you think you'll show them of One? Planet of the Giants?
::gigglesnorts:: Well, that's a good thing! ALL girls should see Paul McGann naked. ;)

Aw, poor Jo. She'd almost deserve a sainthood for putting up with Tony, really.

That's the last of the Jago & Litefoot audios, as they've been reviewing them in order. I'm afraid they've done very little of Charley so far, apart from Storm Warning and the final audios of her with Six (all of them before Bob joined the team, if I remember correctly).

I was all O_O when Cate told me the wart was staring at her. What do you say to something like that? And I didn't include the best part - when I told them The Androids of Tara was made the year I was born, their reply was "Wow, it's really old, then." And yes, I'm pondering showing them Planet of Giants, as I want to show them the original Team TARDIS and the other serials I have of them are either too long or require a lot of background explanation.
But they're only eight!

Aww, why? ::looks curious::

I actually really want to buy their first series, which is weird for me, isn't it? :P But I love Big Finish, so I should try to support them just a little! WHUT! NEEDS MOAR CHARLEY. :O

::giggly:: I . . . honestly have no idea! I probably would have had the face of O_o as well. ::pets her:: LOLZ, do they think you're super old now? :P I hope not! Aww, even just the first episode of An Unearthly Child? They should see a Susan!
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY TO THAT, BB. ;D

He can be a bit of a meanie at times, particularly to poor Bob. But it's a playful sort of mean rather than an evil one - he's really a softie at heart, who loves a nice cup of tea and who lives with a bunch of kitties - part of the weekly news in the podcast is dedicated to what's been happening to his cats (that part of the news is known as "the mews" :P).

Well, it's Jago & Litefoot, so it makes sense. I mean, I'm yet to watch Talons and yet I loved their CC and have an urge to listen to their series. And yes, more Charley is required.

And that face returned again when Carol announced yesterday that she has a little sprite inside her brain who tells her to do naughty things. I think they always thought I was super old - now they think that serial is as well. :P Planet of Giants has a little more action, hence my idea of showing that to them. But yes, I do want them to meet Susan.
THAT'S NOT HELPING THEM GET RID OF THEIR BRAIN SPRITES, YOU KNOW.

Two of his kitties died at some point, though luckily he was given two little kittens afterwards and the listeners got to "see" them grow up. I should point out, though, that he disagrees with our view (also shared by Professor Dave) that Ten was a whiny bitch in End of Time - but, on the other hand, he likes Smallville.

I've been unable to get my hands on a Who DVD for a while now. *bows head in shame* Maybe soon? WHAT'S ZOD GOT TO DO WITH A DOCTOR WHO PODCAST?

But we don't use it as an excuse for our bad behaviour, unless we want to be committed! I KNOW THAT NOW! And One, since I told them he's the youngest Doctor. :P

::bursts into tears:: Why must kitties pass from life? ;___; BAH! But, then again, some of my favourite people feel the same way about Ten (I don't know WHY, but they do) & I still love them! O, but I don't like Smallville - I love Tess & Zod & Chloe & Lois! :P & Oliver made me all teary-eyed in tonight's episode, so maybe him too, now.

. . . . It's okay! Try to find a way to get your Smallville, miss! :D Breaks are good! & UM, EVERYTHING?! HOW CAN YOU ASK THAT QUESTION OMG. :O :P

Okay, point well made! WHY DID YOU THEN? ::giggles:: They're going to think you lied to them when they see him! XD

We all do, I'm afraid - it's the law of life. :( I know what you mean - he's the twins' favourite. But they're in Smallville, ergo you like watching it... right? What happened to make you change your mind like that?

It'll be hard to do so, you know - when I order from Amazon I do it with my father's credit card, so I need his permission - and since he hates Smallville I doubt he'll ever agree to it (and besides, we've both agreed that our next purchases will revolve around a season from The Avengers and the upcoming new Goodies DVD). BECAUSE HE'S NOT A DOCTOR WHO CHARACTER, THAT'S HOW.

We have some sense of self-preservation. BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK? I'm sure they will. :P
THEY'D BE GIRLS I'D LOVE IF IT WAS THE CASE, ACTUALLY. RIGHT NOW THEY'RE BEASTIES I MILDLY TOLERATE. :P

ALL RIGHT, THEY READ MY LETTER AGAIN! This one being the one asking about the Companion Chronicles, of course, since the Androids of Tara review will be next week. Anyway, my letter worked as an incentive for Tony to bully Bob into finally reviewing Legend of the Cybermen, which he'd been postponing for ages, while Night's Black Agents will be analysed in the near future. As for the other Companion Chronicles I've recommended, they've got quite a long list of stuff to review in the near future, and suggested I'd write them with my own reviews instead. I'm pondering doing that, though of course this will mean I'll have to listen to them again to refresh my memory. Ooh, and Tony placed his mike next to one of his kitties so that we could all hear him purr. :)

They've got nine lives! *pets* You know, they liked EoT but they're not really Tennant fans - Tony even badmouthed Tennant in this recent episode and said he's fed up with the fangirls. Good for him! See? Oh dear, poor Ollie.

I DON'T HAVE ONE, BECAUSE I SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY AS IT IS. :/ ZOD IS NOT A DOCTOR WHO CHARACTER - FITZ IS!

Well, in this particular aspect we do. :P WHY? They behaved badly all weekend, so I didn't show them any Who. Maybe next time...

I'm considering it, but I'm also planning to write some reviews of other shows to Professor Dave's podcast (I was planning to write about the Avengers, but since he mentioned Dead Like Me in the latest edition, which I listened to this morning, and since next episode will be a Halloween special I think going for that one first might be a good idea) and I've had the crazy idea of writing a blog in Portuguese reviewing the classic series, since most people in my country only know New Who, I'm wondering if adding audio reviews for this one is not biting more than I can chew. And I think Bob might hate me a little right now, as Tony bullied him mercilessly. Oh, his purr came out very loud and clear - he was clearly very happy. :)

*snuggles* There were some positive aspects here and there (Wilf, mainly), but I agree with Professor Dave that the overall result felt like RTD patting himself on the back. C'mon, admit it. :P Ooh, I'm curious.

I'M USING IT WAY TOO MUCH AS IT IS - AND BESIDES, MY PARENTS WILL STILL REALIZE I BOUGHT SOMETHING AND MY FATHER WILL NOT SHUT UP IF HE REALIZES IT'S SMALLVILLE. A FITZ IS LIKE A ZOD ONLY WITH CARROT-PRINT UNDERPANTS. :P

But unfortunately, the girls are - which is why when I e-mailed Tony about watching Androids of Tara with them, I called them "the mad twins". IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ALREADY THOUGHT I WAS OLD. I had to keep my promise - being naughty equals no Who. :(

(He didn't say much - they were reviewing The Princess Bride and one of the girls wondered where she had seen Mandy Patinkin before, and Dave asked if it was from Dead Like Me. (It wasn't.) Oh, and I went to check and they'll be discussing zombie movies/shows for this special and are asking specifically for it, so I'm having second thoughts.) I think the problem is that there's a lot to say - the tricky part is to say it in a way that will appeal to people unfamiliar with it. I'm not sure if I'll manage to post my audio reviews in the blog, though, as I'll be reviewing each of the classic serials in broadcast order (i.e., from An Unearthly Child onwards). (And contributions would be lovely, but the language barrier, as you stated, would make things a bit complicated.) You should have heard him, poor thing - he had spent so long postponing his review, and then some chick from Portugal ruins everything for him. :P He sounded very sweet, y'know. :D

*pets* And I accept that, as I hated everything apart from Wilf and Eleven. Only a little? *goes to search for it as well*

I TRY TO PUT MONEY ASIDE BUT I ALWAYS END UP SKINT AND FIND MYSELF FORCED TO TURN TO IT. :( THEY LOOK ALIKE? AND YES, CARROT-PRINT UNDERTHINGS. AND A MASON IS ALSO LIKE A ZOD, ONLY IN THAT CASE THE UNDERTHINGS HAVE A UNION JACK PRINT.

I called them that in my initial draft, but changed my mind when I edited the thing and changed it to "mad twins" instead. HOW? THEY'RE EIGHT - ANYONE OLDER THAN TEN FOR THEM IS ANCIENT. I've told them, "You either behave or I won't show you Doctor Who", and they shrug, say "Too bad I won't get to watch it" and behave badly anyway. THEY'VE SNEAKED INTO THE SWAMP AND TOOK ONE OF MY OLD TOYS - AND THEN PLAYED WITH IT IN FRONT OF THE REST OF THE FAMILY.

(HE LOOKED VERY ATTRACTIVE! AND I'VE JUST SENT IT TO YOU, THOUGH I POSTED IT AS REPLY TO THE WRONG COMMENT - OOPSIES. :P I don't know if they like it, but I'll submit it to them anyways.) Will I? *is unsure* Yeah, I like this plan. AW CHUCKS. You haven't met Teddy - he's a real, bona fide Ceiling Cat.

*snugglies* (Indeed. :D) I have faith in you! *is getting frustrated with the search*

I DON'T THINK I CAN! HE'S A MILITARY MAN - THE WORD "COMMANDO" WAS CREATED FOR THEM!

THEY KEEP ON FORGETTING WHO'S BOSS, SO WE HAVE TO KEEP ON REMINDING THEM. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY - SHE JUST FELT LIKE IT. IT IS, YES. :(

(DID HE NOW? & I GOT IT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER I ANSWERED ALL THE REST OF OUR COMMENTS - I LOVES IT! & you know, you've shared it/mentioned it at just the right time - I've come to really miss Mason & his lovely lady Daisy. I can't explain why, but I am, right now. & I might have even found inspiration for a Mason/Daisy mix, you know. ♥ & I'm sure they'll like it! THEY'D BETTER. ::PETS HER EVOL KITTEH PARTNER:: Oooo, a Ceiling Cat! How so?)

::looks like a sad kitty:: (Who needs Ten to have a happy life? :D) AWW! ::encourages you to stay positive::

YES YOU CAN! DON'T BE DEFEATIST! ::DROOLS:: DO YOU THINK ZOD CARRIES ON THIS TRADITION, THEN?

WELL, KEEP DOING SO. I WOULD. O___o INDEED. ;___;

(HE DID, AT LEAST IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT, MY DEAR. It's funny you should say that, because writing that e-mail has lead me to work on a couple of Dead Like Me-related mixes, you know... One is Mason/Daisy, obviously, while the subject of other I'll keep a secret for now. Nooo, don't threaten the Ark gang! If they don't read it now, they'll save it for a later podcast where they'll feel it's more suitable. MROW. He's trying to eat Tony.)

*tries to comfort you with chocolate biscuits* (Indeed.) :D *tries*

I'M FEELING DISCOURAGED. I HOPE SO - HE'S THE PERFECT SOLDIER IN EVERY OTHER ASPECT.

I SHALL. THAT'S A TYPICAL REACTION FROM THEM, I'M AFRAID. D:

(THINKING OF RUBE AS ATTRACTIVE MAKES ME CRINGE, FOR SOME REASON. o_O IT WAS FAAAAAB! ::GIVES YOU THE SIMM!MASTER THUMBS-UP:: & OMG. DID IT?! ::squeals loud enough to break the sound barrier:: I've ALWAYS hoped you'd do a Dead Like Me mix & now you are? EEEEEK! & A MASON/DAISY ONE! [But if you're already working on one, I'll stick to my Zod & Tess mixes then. I WANT TO SEE YOURS ANYWAY!] Awww, a secret? WHY NOT? ::was sharpening knives:: But I hope they read it noooow! ::CUDDLES YOU:: HEEHEE! Is he tasty, then?)

::iz a kitty and cannae have chocolate biscuits:: (I hope Donna has a lovely life.) ^____^ ::pets you and has great faith in you::

DON'T! THINK OF THE AMAZINGLY SMOULDERING SEXINESS OF ZOD & TESS & USE THAT AS YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT! ME TOO. I DO WONDER IF ONE CAN FIND OUT . . .

GOOD BUNNY. WAT. LITTLE DEMONS.

(I DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM SINCE I SAW MANDY IN OTHER STUFFS BEFORE DLM. :D I am doing them, yes! I think the surprise one might be finished before the Mason/Daisy one, but let's wait and see. [Ooh, Zod and Tess!] Put those knives away, dear... *PURR* I have no idea - Teddy seems to like his flavour, though. :P)

*offers you salmon biscuits instead* (Me too.) *puppy-dog eyes*

I'M TRYING! I HOPE THERE'S A WAY.

:) TOLD YOU.

Elizabeth (Betsy). Twenty-two, almost twenty-three, but perpetually seventeen. Whirls back & forth between vulgarity & delicacies like a dervish proper & has been known to disappear for months on end. Worshipper of Carroll, devotee of Lovecraft & BPAL hoarder absolute. Destined for the madhouse.
