Apr. 10th, 2010 08:32 amI'm awake! Jesus, why do I set my weekend alarms for such irritating ringtones?
(Yes, I have an alarm for weekends, it's a thing, I am apparently no longer allowed to have lie-ins, they give me headaches. I am a mess of a human being.)
You know it's not so much that this past week was awful. It's just that it seemed like from Tuesday on there was nothing but constant overload. I'm quite adaptable and it's not that I don't like new experiences, but I generally like them to be on my terms, and I prefer they not include fire or this much snot.
Anyway. I am staying in bed today and cursing the world, and you are all welcome to do likewise. On that note, have some surprise pornography for Doctor Who Saturday!
Title: Rotten Petty Perfect Sexy
Rating: R.
Summary: For the first time in four hundred years, the Doctor regenerated with a sex drive. Fortunately, he knew exactly who to consult about it.

Apr. 10th, 2010 02:12 pmThings I would like to do today:
-- stop puking
-- breathe through my nose again
-- regulate my body heat
-- think clearly
Things I would not like to do today:
-- my laundry
DEAR LAUNDRY SERVICE YOU PICKED A STELLAR WEEK TO RANDOMLY NOT PICK UP MY LAUNDRY.
Nggh. I can't even walk around much, this stupid cold made my joints all funky and my left ankle hurts. Stupid brittle bones.
If anyone needs me I will be in my blanket burrito. Actually, if anyone needs me, do not need me, I cannot help you. I'M DYING, LEAVE ME IN PEACE.

Apr. 10th, 2010 03:24 pmHoly shit that was an episode. I'm not sure I can compress into three things.
But let's give it a go, shall we?
Sam's Three Things About Doctor Who, 5.02: ( The Beast Below )
3b. There's been a lot of talk about how Amy Pond is a fair avatar for fandom, given the Raggedy Doctor and the rest. But I think the Doctor was more accurate -- she's a fairy tale. A long time ago tomorrow morning is a brilliant way to start a story, or end one.
Okay, so I didn't quite make it in three things plus 3a. Sorry. Too much love and criticism! (Incidentally, I am totally going to write a book about fandom someday called Love And Criticism.)
Despite the fact that I am dying, I do have my Three Things About Classic Who all coded up for posting -- I need to write a bit of an intro, but watch this space. :)

Apr. 10th, 2010 07:42 pmR came over. He brought me Nyquil.
We hung out for a while, me mostly in a lump of blankets on the sofa, and he played me some of the music he's been doing -- he got introduced to an Irish folk musician and did some jams with him, and it's pretty good stuff. And then we invented a new game!
The game was inspired by my talk of how some fundraising organisations allow donors to "buy" a landmark or building with a donation and name it after themselves. I said, for a hundred thousand dollars given to me personally, I would name myself after a donor.
We had to hammer out a lot of rules after that. Here are the rules. IF:
-- You had to legally change your name but were allowed a nickname
-- The person was a stranger (not a friend playing a prank -- we know people who would take up a collection)
-- The person did not have an especially funny name
-- The money was tax-free
What is the bare minimum they would have to give you in order to get you to change your name to theirs?
R said $75k, at first, but it turned out we hadn't ironed out the whole "nickname" subclause, so once he found out he could have a nickname he knkocked it down to $12.5k. I told him you can't buy a Honda for twelve thousand dollars, and he should at least get a Honda's worth of money.
We came up with several variations on the game as well. Would your amount change if you couldn't have a nickname, or if the name was an opposite-gendered name, or if you had to change your name to a corporation's name? And the sub-variation on that, how much money would it take to make you change your last name only to DotCom.
I think it's very clear that the Nyquil had hit my system by then.
