A very useful meme:

How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know? How many times have you felt 'guilty' asking a close LJ friend a question that should be 'obvious'? Well, here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me any thing. Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not allowed to get even slightly irritated at any of the questions - we've all missed things before.

And the 'not that it's entirely unexpected, but what the shit?' link of the day: K9 animated spinoff on the way.

'K9 Adventures will be a 26-episode comedy-fantasy series set in outer space. The new-look K9 is a galactic crime-fighter...'

Ahahahaha. Oh, god. It will be awful and I will watch every week.

I want to know, however vaguely, what happened to connorbeast and your other flatmates. Are you all still together in OT4 bliss, or...?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

connorbeast moved back to his hometown for a year but visits us at weekends: we hope he's going to come back next year. Me, marymac and thecount_ha still live together, with Kevin/crowley57 taking over connorbeast's place. We are currently looking for a new house since our lease is about to expire, so we're hoping to get somewhere that can store our vast collection of DVDs and thecount_ha's action figures, since he's threatening to move me into the garage and give them my room...

But you'd look so cute all squashed into the garage! Bit cold, though.

Y'know, I wouldn't have to bug you about this if connorbeast would just update his own LJ. But I am *very* relieved that the other two are still around and that domestic bliss continues to reign.

The moment I got your first comment he appeared on my AIM as if summoned from the very depths of hell. Coincidence? *g*

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

As if by magic or science so far advanced that it appears to be magic I appear

I LIVE!!!

I am all grown up with job and stuff.

Will try to update my journal more often. But life as a polar bear dancer doesn't allow for a causal updates to the journal.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! And congrats on the growing-up -- I'm still working on that.

Actually the hardest thing was getting the polar bears to dance. I had to get them really drunk then tell them they were pretty.

I don't know anything about Doctor Who. I know there's a huge amount of canon material, so asking for a short description might be asking a lot... but what's DW about?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

*g* In a nutshell: the main character is an alien who, with various companions, travels around space and time saving planets and so on.

In a little bit more detail: the Doctor is from a race of highly advanced aliens, the Time Lords. They can change their physical body and personality when they die, which they can do 12 times, and have powers of time travel but are a stagnant society, preferring to observe than get involved with anything. For reasons never explained the Doctor steals a time/space machine, the TARDIS - which can disguise itself as anything but gets stuck in the form of a 1960s police telephone box - and goes on the run.

The Christopher Eccleston series is about the Ninth Doctor: he's a bit angsty because his home world and people have been destroyed in a war. Then he meets up with Rose, who's from present-day London, and they do the usual travelling-in-time-and-space thing.

It is the perfect fandom for me because the canon is *enormous*: 40 years worth of TV, books and audios. And it can go anywhere and cross over with anything, which is very handy, fanfic wise. I am all in favour of rubbish wobbly monsters and planets that are clearly Welsh quarries, too.

Also? I've only seen the ninth season and didn't find it confusing. I mean, obviously there were things that I didn't know about, but it was completely understandable. And while I didn't fall head over heels for it, I did enjoy it. Very worth watching.

Hello there,

I don't want to freak you out, but did you used to write under the name of Corleone, what - six, seven years ago? Because if you did, I remember you from a Yahoo group. I'm not a stalker, I swear!

And yeah, the K9 series will be fantastically crap - doesn't Disney have a hand in it, or something?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

*g* Yes - gosh, that takes me back. I was 16 when QAF started!

I think the K9 series has something to do with someone who worked on Wallace and Gromit? Maybe?
