Dedicated with love to karenmiller and lizbee: this YouTube link found by tamnonlinear.

I've finally gotten around to putting Naughty or Nice up on Teaspoon; I'm confident it'll get through the queue rapidly. (ETA: Yup.) I'd put this up too, if I could think of a title. Suggestions welcomed.

You snooze, you lose: while I've been waffling if I have the time to do the Who reviews, or if I'm just in it for the egoboo, the eminently suitable ponygirl72 skipped the public angst, pitched, and got the job. Serves me and congratulations to her; her first review is excellent.

(Speaking of reviews, I've told RtE I'll stay, but I'm out of books at the moment. Cross your fingers for me, y'all, as I gave a hopefully not-too-late request to get a book I've been waiting to be released.)

No wonder David Tennant was so grumpy about being put in the harness "that hurts your back" for the Tinkerbell Time Lord scene: he's got a bad back. And it's keeping him offstage from Hamlet. I hope he feels better soon.

(And yes, I would be really pissed if I go see it and he's not there. I don't happen to like Hamlet as a play, and really am just going to see him, even though I'm told Gertrude is amazing. I've already seen Patrick Stewart's Maccers, so him doing Shakespeare has no novelty. Shallow Nea is shallow.)

I am in the wrong country to see Captain Jack's stories of Christmas past. Damnit. (And what's with this lock anyway? They didn't lock it for the first two years, so why start punishing the overseas fans now?) Bless the person who put it on YouTube (Seriously, BBC, like you didn't know that would happen in 7 seconds?)

Epic fail, BBC. I hate region-locking; it's so pointless. It's not like they're selling it and have to worry about the rights. Thank you so much for the link, though!

Thanks for the link! I'd like to think that because of Torchwood, Jack does public service announcements all the time about monsters. Or if he doesn't, he SHOULD.

Also, that little boy had DALEK WRAPPING PAPER <3 <3 <3

LOL! If only they were exaggerating ...

If you're shallow, so am I.

I skipped an entire horror convention because I couldn't
get in to the one panel to see Bruce Campbell. I actually
went & demanded my money back. Now, is that more or less
shallow than going to a convention of a genre I detest
just to see one actor in the first place?

Man, I do NOT envy that understudy! While I'm usually no fan of the gratuitous standing ovation (they're so coercive--you can't stay seated when everyone else around you is getting up, or you look like a churl), I was glad to read that they'd given him one, because it can't be easy stepping into those shoes.

I do hope David gets better quickly, though.

Aww... thanks. :-) That means a lot to me-- I am painfully aware that I haven't the first clue about writing fair and helpful reviews.

One of my mottos is "Jump first. Think later." It's served me well in my life.

Yeah... okay. Actually, that's a bold-faced lie. It's gotten me into a lot of trouble in my life. But it's also opened some fun and interesting doors.

Six months from now, when I'm trying to prep half a dozen horses for sale, polish up that blasted DWAD audio script, make some forward progress on my novel, and work a full-time job, you'll be able to snigger quietly at me as I whine and bemoan on LJ that I don't have time to write the stupid Big Finish review for Unreality SF.

Because I can TOTALLY see that coming a mile away.
