[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because...baseball, Dr. Who. I mean, are you even trying?I wish. Lovely red headed painter gal. Alas, like all women in my life, she is happily taken, and I am not one to try and split up a friend for short term pleasures. t gentleman

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
But lo! She only knew the OLD shows (which I have yet to watch),
Watch them!
I need to get more of them on DVD. They're down to AU$17 now at Borders. I want to get Image of the Fendahl and Horror of Fang Rock - that was when Dr Who tried darker horror-themed storylines, before bloody Mary Whitehouse kicked up a stink about it.

Poor little noodle had his 2-month immunisations today. We rugged him up and took him to the doctor's. In the waiting room he's fascinated by Wallybee's car keys and her bright orange beanie. We get in to see the doctor, he swallows the oral Rotavirus vaccine very happily. We put him on the bed for the injections, I get the top end to look after. He's looking over at me, and then suddenly his face lights up in a big smile. *sniff* That didn't last long.
He coped really well, though. At the first injection, his whole head turned bright red and he started howling, but he was already calming down by the time he got the second one. He cried with the second one too, but without the same urgency. He was completely settled again within a couple of minutes of me picking him up again.

Aww, poor babytea! It sounds like he's okay now, though.
Yay for Doctor Nilly!!!!! Love your pics--you look so happy, and how great to have your friends and family there with you. You should get that last one (of you throwing your cap) framed!
I hate it when I blow off eating dinner until 2:00 am. But, I won't be able to get to sleep if I don't eat something, so I popped some popcorn and opened a can of pineapple chunks. I had salad for lunch, but that's it since Monday afternoon. Don't know why I'm not eating.

Re: Doctor Who - I just bought the first season of the Sarah Jane Adventures. Because good children's TV is a beautiful thing.
I've only seen the pre-revival Doctor Who episodes as occasional reruns on cable channels (although I did catch a fair few that way). The BBC is releasing lots of DVDs now, so I will probably succumb eventually.
This is why they only serve dead chickens at KFC. Sporking a live chicken is a not a pretty sight.
I went to a fantastic art exhibition at the weekend (by Banksy - a shadowy figure who has managed to reach cult status here without anyone knowing who he is) where the artist had created animatronic chicken nuggets that were pecking at a packet of barbeque sauce. One of the most disturbing things I've ever seen, and also totally fascinating.
I am off out to find breakfast, as I haven't been back to my university accommodation for three weeks, and there is no food here. Chicken will not be involved.

I grew up on Classic Who. Sunday nights from 11:00 pm to around 12:35 in the morning--Mom didn't let me stay up that late until I graduated from junior high (14 y.o.). The local PBS station had its Brit Block starting at 10:00 pm (Monty Python or Fawlty Towers, sometimes The Goodies), followed by (usually) Dave Allen At Large at 10:30 (sometimes The Two Ronnies), then the full story of Doctor Who, instead of the serialized half-hour ep as was originally shown on the BBC.

Best evening TV schedule ever!

Can't sleep. Rain will eat me, or something.

Growing up, I got pretty much that line-up starting from 6:00. Goodies followed by Dr Who, then Fawlty Towers or Yes Minister or something like that; Two Ronnies was just Wednesdays, IIRC. Dave Allen was later at night, but still fun.
