I’m on the train into town at the moment to get Ross a birthday present since it’s his birthday today. Apparently he got a DS lite for his birthday so I’ll prolly get him a game for that.
I’m also gonna try and get some Christmas shopping started so I know how much money I [...]
I’m off work for two consecutive days this week, the first time that’s happened since I went back to work. It’s like a little mini holiday. I went into town this afternoon to meet Chris for coffee. I went in an hour and a half early and had some lunch and a read of one [...]
Today was my first day off in a week, so I headed into town to have coffee with Chris who I haven’t seen since I got back. We of course went to Starbucks and it was really nice seeing him, I don’t get to see him often enough.
After coffee we walked around the shops a [...]
So Doctor Who season four finished on Saturday with an extended, companion filled episode that had the potential to be the best episode of the season. Was it?
In some ways it was. Donna was turned into part timelord and became really smart and pwnd the Daleks. But then she had her memory wiped and the [...]
Work’s been really busy the last couple days and I found out today I don’t have a day off till Thursday
But at least it means lots of pennies to spend in Seattle. I’m also prolly gonna be purchasing my flights in the next couple of weeks since I’ve been saving.
I’m hardly bought anything the [...]
I finished yet another Torchwood book last night, this one I managed to read entirely in one day, does that tell you anything?
It was really good, it had time travel in it that was sort of like The Time Traveller’s Wife which I loved.
It also portrayed Jack as a more caring character which was good, [...]
I finished my third Torchwood book, Border Princes, last night. It was definitely the best of the three.
*spoilers follow*
In ways it sort of echos the Torchwood episode ‘Adam’ in that there is a sixth Torchwood member inserted and the audience is left feeling sort of ‘eh?’ about who this person is.
This story also highlighted a [...]
Finished my second Torchwood book, it was pretty good. Not as good as Slow Decay though but it was interesting.
It included a bit where Owen was whinging that he “was a Doctor everyday and would die a Doctor” and Jack says, under his breath “Not quite yet”.
Which lead me to wonder whether the writer knew [...]
Another day, another book.
Finished my first Torchwood book and I have to say I was really impressed with it.
The books are the same number of pages as the Doctor Who books (250 pages) but they are physically bigger both in width and height.
They are also in hardcover (though the Doctor Who books can be [...]
What an excellent ending to my current run of Doctor Who books!
The Resurrection Casket was definitely one of the best books of the lot with a great steampunkesque storyline with a brilliant twist at the end.
Justin Richards is definitely the best writer of the lot as this and Clockwise Man are probably my favourites [...]
