Dr Who - hee! :) ... and we heard from Teena. Also, easter eggs.

Just watched two eps of Christopher Eccleston Dr. Who,

The whole bit with the nanites, though, did not make sense.  No matter how damaged the kid's body was, there had to have been plenty of undamaged DNA.  There's no way that these ridiculously advanced nanite repair thingy-whatsers should have been confused by a gas mask he happened to be wearing - it should be obvious that was not part of his body.  And how did the Dr suddenly gain control of them when he had not been able to control them before?  Did I miss something?

I didn't like Captain Jack Harkness at all, at first, but he began to grow on me after his true dorkyness was revealed.  :) 



So, where IS all that Captain Jack (Harkness)/Captain Jack (Sparrow) slash, hm?  It's a natural.

But please, please tell me we'll be doing a few episodes that leave Earth, soon!  This Earth-centric stuff is really getting over done.

We had a phone call from our friend, Teena, in AZ:  She has, in fact, as rumored, enlisted in the Air Force.  She hopes that will get her U.S. citizenship, and also that they may station her in Korea, her country of extraction.  (Extraction?  Is that correct?  Origin, perhaps?)  Anyhow, she hadn't dared tell her friends for fear they would be upset with her, so at first she only told June and June told everyone else, and then let back to her that nobody was mad.  I think it may good for her, as long as she doesn't get herself killed.  I'm thinking - hoping - the Air Force is the safest service to be in. 

BTW, the after effects of having houseguests can be... odd, sometimes.  I've found several little easter eggs so far, including:

- A cork and the top of the wrapper from the bottle of Fat Bastard wine - the latter neatly folded around and stuck to the fridge with a magnet.  They have a hippo on them, it's cute and reminds me of the seal of Ankh-Morpork.  I know cyberquail left them. :)

- A pale green towel with teddy bears on it.  I can't imagine where that came from - everyone denies all knowledge of it.

- Two plastic spoons: A green one with a very surprised-looking monkey as the handle, and the other is vaguely fleshy-pink with a handle shaped like... a... male organ.  I have yet to get anyone to admit to them, either.

And that's aside from the up-front gifts. 

Now, sleep.

I'd be annoyed with a friend of mine if she/he joined the army - and this a neutral (supposedly) country! I hope she doesn't have to do any fighting (for everyone's sake)

I don't like what's going on and I totally think we need to get all our troops home - I mean, the damned Constitution states that the armed services are supposed to be used for 'defense,' not invading people ferchristsake - but I think it'll get her away from her Mom, who leans on her something fierce. Every time she moves away her Mom guilts her into going back to Arizona where she can lean on Teena again, so she needs to join something so that she can say she will NOT be able to come back on demand.

That's awful. I've been noticing a disturbing trend in otherwise sane mothers lately with trying to control their daughter's destinies. My own mam is trying to throw a spanner in the works of my sister's living in London at the moment, and I always though she was strong, level-headed and put her kid's needs first. It's a downer and it makes me fear having kids. I don't weant to be that way.

*happy dances!* Wheee, all new slash on which to waste my time! :)

Hee. I haven't checked it out properly myself, but I remember being told about it when I wrote my Dr Who/Gregory House fic. Seems a cool comm.

I'm working my way through, like the psycho I am, from the earliest post.
