11:03am: Live blog notice!
Well, tomorrow, I will have an m31andy and a culf chez moi and we will be watching The Devil's Whore.

And quite possibly I may be posting up comments made by various people along the way...

3pm onwards for those who wish to watch vicariously and thank whatever mercies there are deeply regret that dakfinv is on a different continent.

12:53pm: I don't know which I've enjoyed more[1]...
...The Devil's Whore or the Guardian reviews of it.

( Here be spoilers! )

1:51am: Oh dear...
Finished tonight as one of nine women stuck in a lift at Liverpool Street.

We were rescued by hugely grinning firemen - I think they could hear what we were saying while we were waiting...

12:24am: Tonight...
...was speshul...

Wasn't it, m31andy?

4:41pm: Ways to make m31andy cry at work...
Discuss a West Country version of Life on Mars.

"Right, let's fire up the Massey."

9:01pm: The A2A live blog!!!!
( Cut for spoilers and idiot comments )

11:49am: Happy Christmas to you all...
...and happy birthday baby Jesus m31andy!

1:10am: Challenge!
After spending a lot of time today in Forbidden Planet with a bunch of completely insane women who I love meeting up with[1], an event which included reading out the blurbs on the back of Redemption DVDs, I have a new challenge.

Comment here, and I'll give you a film title[2]. You then have to provide me with a suitable back-of-DVD-case blurb to ensure that the film reaches its full audience, so don't forget artistic merit is as important as those zombie lesbian nuns!

[1] dracothelizard, your secret is out! Riona grassed on you!
[2] The title may be a real film title or I may just make one up for you.

8:26pm: Doctor Who CIN special...
Excellent.
( Click for spoiler )

2:27pm: For shaggydogstail
Now tell me which way they're going...

( Yeah, I'm sad and pathetic )

6:09pm: Ooooh!
duckyone, you're a star!

12:03am: Quote of the night...
Am at home with m31andy and we have been having an entertaining evening casting the Clangers (Major Clanger is clearly Gene Hunt, the Soup Dragon is Phyllis and Small Clanger is Sam Tyler, with occasional Master moments when he breaks out the gas mask.)

However, episode two involves the line: "The only thing they can do is get out the equipment and try and catch it."

m31andy"That's what you do with syphillis, isn't it?"

12:32am: Back!
Met m31andy tonight in a pub. There's a shocker for you.

I learned many things tonight.

1. If you kiss your same-sex friend hello, there will always be a couple of bowsies at the bar who assume that you are about to indulge in hot lesbian sex in front of them.

2. The Trafalgar Studios are pretty small.

3. John Simm is superb at comedy.

4. John Simm probably goes home with his face in agony every night - he didn't *look* like John Simm in the play.

5. The high point was realising that all the many female roles were played by Helen from Drop the Dead Donkey who was fantastic.

6. Adrian Bower completely reminded me of an ex-flatmate.

7. Andy (or to be precise, her laugh), completely pulled John Simm on stage. She laughed (at a funny moment) and for a brief second there was a completely non-Elling expression on his face and he grinned like mad. (Thankfully he was supposed to be smiling at that point, but I reckoned he left his head in Adrian Bower's lap for a couple of seconds more than usual).

8. Elling is a superb play and I strongly urge all London readers to go.

ETA: 9. There are completely far too many occurrences of the word "completely" in this post.

1:03pm: New meme!
fiandyfic are claiming they're in an "enabling" mood. Apparently they're also feeling mellow. No doubt some fictional character is huddled in a foetal position whimpering gently to himself as a result.

But this means that they have a meme going.

So go over, pick a fandom, and be inspired!

10:46am: Rec!
mctabby linked to this and I'm continuing the rec: Platform 9.99999999999999999999... by trickofthedark. Harry Potter, gen, post-Deathly Hallows, illustrated and absolutely lovely. It's like Posy Simmonds started doing fanfic.

1:42am: ( Spoilers for The Last of the Time Lords )

12:37am: Oh god...
...the caravans... they're following ME!!!!!!!

1:36am: Plot bunny...
... and to be honest, I'd be very surprised if someone hasn't done it before.

What if it turned out that Jack Harkness is absolutely shite in bed? He's good at pulling, but all his multitude of partners wind up *really* disappointed...

9:50pm: Because there just aren't enough cat macros in the world...
My public journal, now with added cats!

3:08pm: Am bored.
Entertain me.

(Well, it works for Warren Ellis.)

7:56am: [fic] I'll Be Your Mirror - posted for m31andy
TITLE: I'll Be Your Mirror
AUTHOR: Andromeda
FANDOM: Life on Mars
SUMMARY: But that I am forbid. To tell the secrets of my prison-house.
RATING: Red Cortina, non-con, incest, paedophilia, character death.
WORD COUNT: 1,300
EMAIL: fiandyfic@livejournal.com
AUTHOR'S NOTES: The unhappy ending to Fionnabair's Venus in Furs and Beginning to See the Light. (alternative to I'm Set Free and all stemming from Sunday Morning) Just to prove that there is one. Again, I find there is a lower Hell than the one currently occupied. Poor old Dante degli Alighieri must be spinning in his grave. Beta'd by Fi, who is surprised she kept her lunch so long.

12:50am: Thought of the current 24 hours...
...however deep m31andy and I are condemned to hell, we'll always know that there's someone deeper than us.

8:23am: Oh lord....
*grits teeth*

Go ahead, come up with the fics you think I'll never write and I'll try to write them.

*hides from m31andy*

2:10pm: A nice quiz for you all...
It can be found here.

Amazingly, I got nine out of 10, despite only having seen one of the genre in my entire life. Clearly it is in my subconscious...
