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.

::GLOMPGLOMP::

::MEOWS:: Well, HOW would you touch it, eh? ::curiously cheeky bunny::

That makes sense, actually! But I adore Susan's hair - never really liked Barbara's. ;D Too fifties, I suppose. OMFG YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! THEY SHOULD HAVE LET YOU DO IT, I THINK. :O I never heard Steven's, though I love the title, so I'll probably seek out ones for my favourite audios. ^-^ ::iz proud of you too:: WHAT ABOUT HEX WITH SUCH A LOOK? Fitz . . . I dun see him as the long hair type? ::gigglies::

LOLWHUT THE GIRLS HAVE FANBOYS! XD XD & OMFG THEY LOVE THE BRIG. THE GIRLS ARE IMPROVING, METHINKS. ::NODS:: Alas, I CAN see why they wouldn't like Liz much, but aww, they like Jo! & YES, she is tiny & dollylike. :D I'm so glad that they liked The Sea Devils, since you know it's one of my favourites of the Pertwee era. ^-^ Also, did we ever discuss the totally obvious prison sex between Three & Delgado!Master? ::halo:: I hope you tell them that they have fans! :D

& now onto your letter . . .

That's my secret... *big mysterious grin*

That's actually more early sixties than fifties - and movie!Barbara's hair is even worse. THEY DON'T KNOW ME! I haven't heard it yet either, but I have it. I must rectify this asap. WHEN I THINK OF HEX IT'S USUALLY FROM THE NECK DOWN. :P Exactly, which is why I said it - long!haired Fitz is an unexpected thought. (Though Callum did look great with long hair when he played Marshwood.)

THEY DO, YES! And yes, the girls are improving immensely. As for Liz, they started to like her as soon as she and Three became friends and she started to smile. :) As I said, Tony and Bob thought the choice of showing them The Sea Devils as an introduction was odd, but I knew it would be the sort of story that would appeal to them - plus that is my only complete Delgado!Master story apart from Terror of the Autons. And no, I don't think we have ever discussed that. o.O Ooh, I'm sure to do that, believe me.

Well, I didnae like it! SO WHAT?! & HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW YOU?! O, do tell me how it is when you do. O, RLY NAO? DOES IT INVOLVE A FITZ ATTATCHED TO HIM SOMEWHERE FROM THE NECK DOWN? ::HALO:: Longhaired!Fitz is slightly lolarious, I must say. ;) (I . . . didnae like that hair either. :O)

::CLAPPY CLAP CLAPS:: Awww, yay! WELL, I THINK WE NEED TO THEN, BECAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY DID. Meow! ^___^

It's so much fun to keep this to myself...

I don't mind it much. I'VE ONLY SENT THEM A FEW E-MAILS - ERGO, THEY DON'T KNOW ME. Will do. NO, IT'S MORE LIKE THIS. I keep imagining Anji braiding his hair, for some reason. :P (WHAT?! ...can I have Marshwood for myself, then?)

DID THEY REALLY?
