Stuff

[unfeathered]

1. Had a really good day yesterday. Both Jack and I had had enough sleep for once, so we both a lot less stressed and a lot more relaxed and we had a really nice time together - and I finally stopped panicking about next week when Andy's away for ten days in Texas/Mexico.

2. Also been doing and reading some fabulous role-playing. Whoville has come alive again. And I've had some really interesting threads - Buffy/Romana (they really bonded), Jack/8 year-old Doctor (very interesting), Simm!Master/Delgado!Master (fascinating for both of them!), and now Spike/Ten.

3. Shame I'm back at work this afternoon and all day tomorrow and Friday. I've been really enjoying my RP! Still, I'm hoping to get on with Master Plan again, since I seem to actually have my brain back at last. :-)

4. At least I don't have to be at rehearsal till half an hour later than usual tonight, so I'll have a little bit more time for tagging before I go than I usually do.

5. Oh, also, yesterday Jack watched his first bit of Doctor Who. _medley_ had sent me a link to a bit of "Mind of Evil" on YouTube (because we're playing Master/Master) and Jack was fascinated. He won't ever let us watch any of our stuff on the telly while he's around, but if it's on the computer, he's fascinated. He sat through about 15 minutes of the thing - which is interseting, because we can now tell him his first Doctor was Jon Pertwee... *g*

6. Any typos in this post are due to the fact I'm typing it with Jack on my lap doing drawing...

Yay ♥

To all of the above except for work.

Yep. It's good. :-)

getting Jack hooked on DW at an early age *nods* very smart!

[unfeathered]

Well, I've been trying not to get him into it TOO young because I don't want to give him nightmares, but this was at least a very harmless bit, no Daleks or monsters or anything! *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

selective viewing is probably a good idea at that age. To be honest, we've done a bit of that with our two (they haven't seen 'family of blood' yet for that reason)

[unfeathered]

Yeah, no way he's watching stuff like that for a few years!

It will be nice in a few years' time, though, when he can sit down and watch it with us.

Though they'll probably have stopped making it by then... *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

well, hopefully not, but I think you'll be able to find a DVD or two of old stuff to watch together if that's the case

[unfeathered]

Oh yes, obviously there'll be DVDs, but, you know. Saturday night sitting down after tea to watch DW with my child - that'd be so cool. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh yes. I love doing that with my kids (although it's friday's here) but plugging in the DVDs is cool too. laughing at the really old effects and jumping when the monster's appear and yelling at Peri... oh wait, maybe you wouldn't do that bit

[unfeathered]

Well, we might yell at Peri a bit... *g*

It's just the thrill of a new episode, you know, and the fact that it's something we did as kids, with my parents.

In fact, last year when we went away with Mum and Dad, the four of us all watched it together and it was really cool! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh yes, watching with your parents again, I can see how that'd be cool. I never watched it with mine growing up. Well, we know DW's at least on for another 2 years ('09 and '10 are both confirmed I believe) so there's some hope of you watching it as it airs with Jack!

[unfeathered]

Yeah. I guess maybe the year after next he could start watching some of it. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and I'd be shocked if '10 is the end of it, it's still wildly popular.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Ten doesn't wind up being Jack's Doctor, but Eleven is instead. I assume we'll get there within a few years

[unfeathered]

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me either. He'll probably be like me, in that I remember seeing the odd bit of Jon Pertwee, but really it's Tom Baker who's 'my' Doctor because that's when I really started watching it.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Tom Baker's a good Doctor to have as "yours"

It's snippets like these that form a scifi fan. I should know, it happened to me ^^

[unfeathered]

Oh yes. I grew up seeing bits of DW and Star Trek (original series) and Blake's 7 and The Prisoner and all sorts of stuff like that, and yeah. It's all just part of my consciousness now!
