wisdomeagle's been doing this for ages and it's a great idea, so I'm thieving it. And since it is only 10am, slightly fiddling with it.

Gleee!
1. Sims Nightlife! I have vampires and cars and nightclubs and swanky stuff. Nine and Rose have done teh 'woohoo' in a yellow sportscar. Three times. And then marymac thought I was talking about fic I'd written and got scared.
2. I bought the Short Trips Companions anthology (Doctor Who short stories from Big Finish) and loved it. There's a hilarious Eight/Charley-shippiness-plus-Vicki-and-William-Shakespeare fic story I loved and one where Romana II is cross that Four won't do sex with her and this is why she's dressed as a schoolgirl in City of Death and every One story has Ian/Barbara OTP. It pleases me much.
3. loneraven has gorgeous new girl!Doctor fic.
4. The massive spider is vanquished from the bathroom and we can use the shower again. (I am deriving glee from this despite it taking three 22-year-olds to get rid of one spider, and that we left it there for about 12 hours because we were scared to go near it.)
5. Watched some more of Dalek Invasion of Earth on my lunch hour.

Three things I did well today yesterday:
1. Was on time to work even though this meant getting up at 7:30 in the morning, which is about four hours too early for me.
2. Only got the company's name wrong once on the phone. (It's not my fault it sounds too like 'Graham Norton')
3. Overcame social ineptness/phobia and was talky with work people, who are Nice.

Two things I look forward to doing (better) today:
1. Working on v. late Adam/Mickey fic.
2. Writing fic where girl!Doctor meets Barbara or Turlough or Jo. Or all of the above.
3. (BONUS) Providing my PC card arrives, fixing my net connection and uploading DW clips (I've already clipped Turlough's exit from the series in order to pimp my OTP)

I'd love BF to be able to do an anthology where the writers aren't so rigidly restrained by having to put things back the way they found them - there's a very funny story in the Companions anthology with all the companions in a Survivor type situation that has to resort to an "it was all a dream" type ending so as not to really screw up canon by killing off all the Doctor's companions except Sarah-Jane.

I've ordered two more of the short story books. Hope they're good.

I have one of the paperbacks - Short Trips and Sidesteps - and the Christmas and Day in the Life anthologies, and they are love. I especially like ones where Four gives Romana his last Rolo, and all the Christmas ones where they gatecrash the recording of Do They Know It's Christmas? and Five and Turlough try to buy Xmas presents for Tegan, and really whacked-out creepy ones with Ian and Barbara... oh, I should review them all.

Do! Do! I've already ordered Short Trips and Side Steps and I'm planning on snapping up all the other ones as soon as they come up on Amazon new&used (£15 each is a wee bit much to buy them new)

I really want the Five and Turlough Christmas shopping one.

Yeah, that does limit what's able to be done. And the "it was all a dream" only works if there's something special in that concept.
