Link Me!

I'm back, I've had a fabulous time, and I'm going to be spamming y'all with posts and pictures for a bit. There are going to be three main posts about Italy (unless I run afoul of the size limits), and then tonight or tomorrow I'll be typing up the fannish stuff I was working on during the plane ride - the next fic in the Torchwood/SJA crossovers (Computer Security in the "A Question of Jurisdiction" cycle) and a defense of Sarah Jane titled "You were my life": Neither Retcon nor Romance.

*This* post is to ask you to catch me up with everything online. Anything major happening to you I should know about? Interesting articles or links? Any good fan essays, fanfic, (even wank)? Are there new installments on the Ten Doctors or Torchwood Babiez cartoons? Let me know!

Also, if you know of any good scrapbooking software, please let me know. I refuse to go buy all the papers and stickers and stuff - the last thing this house or my budget needs is the detritus of yet another hobby - but if you know of any good software where I can import my pictures, add some pretty stuff, play with my many fonts, and then print out the resulting page, let me know.

And now I'm off to turn all my Yahoogroups back to "mail" and read the 144 messages lurking on AOL...

PS - can anyone explain why iTunes has about 100 versions of "Old Time Rock & Roll" and NONE of them are Seger's?

PPS - cracktastic Donna Drabbles at Lady Mako's place.

PPPS - very darling dancing David Tennant vid on YouTube

Hooray! We could bicker, I seem to be some of the few that don't count breaking up over the phone as a bad move... well, let's wait and see, most of fandom still seems to doubt the news

Yeah, I admit my first thought on reading the article was that it sounded like a dick move on his part (and my second being that someone is going to feel really bad if Moonlight gets cancelled as quickly as it seems like to), but the point about them being 5000 miles apart and him not having a lot of free time to hop a plane and give her the bad news face-to-face is a major mitigating factor.

And as noted, it may not be true anyway. (And in the RPF talk about David/Billie time nao, has anyone brought up the point that Billie is now apparently engaged or recently married to her current guy, IIRC? I haven't bothered reading the chatter anywhere but in nostalgia_lj's post on the matter, and at least there it was funny.)

The amount of people feeling sorry for Eve seems to be greater than the bitchy teenagers being happy he's solo again. Just this once, no one wanks. I need more days like this

:D

That may be down to the thing where women get more popular after bad things happen to them and "take them down a peg," or else down to even the batchippers being willing to be charitable now that she's no longer "competition" and sympathizing a bit with having had David and now lost him.

It is - but if the only reason to break up is because of the distance, then methinks David can keep it in his pants long enough to wait and see if she ends up staying here for very long.

That said, I'd be a bit surprised if it was true, simply because I think that both of them, being sensible and knowing the vagueries of their career, would have either provisionally broken up before she left or would be waiting to see if she stayed in America for X time before breaking up.

Assuming the breakup rumor is true, it's another big assumption to take the stated reason as being true itself, rather than being the excuse he gave, or the story she gave her friends, or the explanation that was considered to be most suitable for public consumption. If he hooks up with gets seen with someone else dateable in the next couple of months, the tabloid story becomes that he dumped her for this new person.
