Jun. 19th, 2008 09:58 pmGo to YouTube and search for Dalek Masterpiece Theatre. I think the best one is this one, but the cover version of the Wurzels is lolarious too.
My Google-fu has failed me
Jun. 18th, 2008 08:05 pmI was in Next today and I picked up an ear-worm. The song is sung by a female singer and the refrain runs something like "And we'll meet one day, far away". Google is only coming up with Vera Lynn.
Sound at all familiar to anyone?

Jun. 16th, 2008 09:37 pmI went to see KOTCS with C. and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elerrina_amanya the week after it can out, but I haven't got around to talking about it yet.
( Has anyone not yet seen this film?? )
In other news, Dubya is in NI today and managed to bring pretty much the entire afternoon commute out of Belfast to a standstill, bother the wretched man. And then he did soundbites for the radio about how committed he is to the peace praw-cess. Like he's done so brilliantly with peace.
Perhaps we can send him back to America via Heathrow Terminal 5? There's a good chance he'll get lost for ever in some Italian warehouse.

In other news, I am now the owner of a Dalek-shaped shower gel. *heh*
Also? Your homemade TARDIS will not win the Red Bull Soapbox competition. But, hey, who can fault them for it?

Cyteen 2 at last!
Jun. 12th, 2008 09:38 pmIn more cheerful (for certain values of cheerful) news, look what Locus has announced (scroll down to January 2009):
Cherryh, C. J. • Cyteen II: Regenesis • (DAW, hc)
W00t!
Also, another possible lifeboat in case LJ goes belly-up. Looks interesting.

CIVIL LIBERTY: UR DOIN IT RONG
Jun. 12th, 2008 09:00 pmJust when I thought my opinion of the DUP couldn't sink any lower, they go and vote for the 42 day detention, helping it scrape in.
Does nobody remember how wonderfully internment worked last time?? Obviously the DUP were on the side that wasn't getting locked up without trial, but you'd think they might possibly have caught a clue looking at the results.
Of course, I doubt very much the vote was from conviction. Whatever they were bought for, I hope it was something good. I'll just be off to rearrange my proportional representation order for the next election.
For crying out loud, even the BNP are against 42 days! You know there's got to be something wrong whenever your MPs are less in favour of civil liberties than the neo-Nazis.

Also, amusing and slightly disturbing story from Neil Gaiman. It's odd to see all these established authors more-or-less drabbling :)
My new blue shirt has got mysterious green stains on it about the middle of the waistband. I suspect that dye or something has either come off my jacket or my jeans. The weird thing is, the jacket is grey and the jeans are blue. I would be more inclined to suspect the jeans, but the stains look more like they're on the outside of the material. And now that I come to think of it, the same thing happened to my pink t-shirt, and I don't think they came off. Okay, no light-coloured tops with that jacket in future, then.
Oh I do so loathe application forms
Jun. 6th, 2008 08:31 pmWhat is the difference between "analytical skills" and "problem solving skills"?
(All problems require analysing in order to solve them y/n? I'm feeling like Charlie Eppes going "Everything ismaths math")
Also, if you send an application form by email, what do you do about signing it?

I am so tired of politics
Jun. 4th, 2008 10:16 pmI was actually slightly surprised to hear that the Democratic primary is over; it had got to the point where it seemed like it had been going on FOREVER and there was no reason why it shouldn't continue indefinitely. I'm glad our election campaigns are so much shorter or I would be driven insane.
