I love today

I think I might be at Disneyland and not at home at all.


My family have this theory that there is magic/evil Disney Gas pumped through the air at Disneyland, for what other explanation can there be for perfectly intelligent people deciding to wear Mickey ears and thinking It's a Small World After All is a lovely cheering ride and not at all populated by frightening and borderline racist costumed midgets?

I have clearly been at the Disney Gas today, for today has been purest win.

I watched the first episode of The Invasion, and the Cosgrove Hall animation stuff is unexpectedly pretty, and Jamie got all pouty about being an unwanted model, and it is burninated Two that I can properly watch and enjoy, hurrah! I know the RT are saying they probably won't do more, but pff. I shall delight in what there is.

Then I went shopping, and now have exciting fake Converse with little stars on them for really cheap from New Look, and a pair of earrings that make my ears say 'YES' on them, which is possibly some kind of dubious sexual invite but means if I suddenly lose my voice I can still be enthusiastic about important things, like cashback, and ambulances. And I nearly bought a ridiculous orange trapeze coat which would allow me to flounce about pretending to be Sharron Macready from The Champions. Still might go back for it. (£15 in Primark. Yay for Britain's dodgy high street tat shops!)

On the way home I listened to the first episode of Renaissance of the Daleks, which only confirms my suspicions that Big Finish is run by LJ's Petey fangirls. A scone, unconsciousness, and handcuffs within the first ten minutes? Thank you very much. :)

I got home to a phone message from a job I applied to, which presumably means I have an interview. Which means I might definitely be able to have an absurd orange coat that only costs 15 quid. :)

And then I made couscous and watched New Who and I am even happier than I was before.

(Please no one harsh my squee by pointing out quite how much of my present cheer is Whovian and/or very shallow and not really involving very much talking to other human beings. Because I have Disney Gas, and I won't care anyway, whee!)


I have cheer to spare. *bestows it upon you all like glitter*

Yay Disney gas and watchable burned two and Jamie. Remember: we love you for your Whovian squee.

How fortunate. :P

Animated Two and Jamie do not cling anywhere near enough. I didn't notice in the first episode, but by the time you get to #4, it just looks weird that they aren't pawing at each other. Where's my Gay Agenda, Cosgrove Hall?

Couscous is very win, especially when assaulted with roasted veggies and balsamic vinegar. Mmm. *plots dinner*

It IS run by Fivey!fangirls, but sadly the slave, the knight, the woman Nam pilot and the kid from 2158 take over the talking in the next 3 episodes and bore the shit out of me.

But there is another bit definitely run by Fivey fangirls that you'll enjoy - end of episode 2 / beginning of episode 3. Doc/Nyssa is a good combination and the plot is terrific.

*wink*

Arg. Won't rush to listen to the rest, then - but will keep ears open for fangirl-bait. :D

Who squee and awesome 60's style coats are IMPORTANT.

And HOORAY for Invasion-viewing, it is made of sheer awesome. It's one of my favourite Whos EVER. Just *because*.

I just confused the crap out of myself by getting to the end of disk 1 and only then realising there are another 4 parts. Which would explain why I was thinking 'blimey, they're leaving the reveal a bit late'...

I confess to finding the plot rather soupy and uninteresting, but who cares when there is the usual Two'n'Jamie clingfest, helicopters, impossible young Brig and Benton and Zoe's pants to keep me occupied?

I love the docu and the bit where they say Trout and Frazer were totally pished when they had to do running about at the Guinness factory. You can hear them slurring the few lines they have at one point:D.

TOBIAS VAUGHN DAMMIT. He pwnz. Zoe running off to be gay and BREAKING COMPUTERS DOWN WITH HER BRANE. Benton looking at the Brig ADORINGLY. FEATHER BOAS. AM IN CAPSLOCK OVER THE INVASION.

Scones, handcuffs AND unconciousness!? That sounds so win-some. I tried to listen to it on the train back to Cardiff earlier but I'd set the playlist in iTunes backwards and it's a gazillion tracks long so I listened to Sherlock Holmes and Qi instead. Not quite the same. Must get to it soon.

And It's A Small World = terrifying.
