Dec. 26th, 2007 04:25 pmHey, hope everyone had a good Christmas, those who celebrate it, and a relaxing fun time all around. Yesterday was great, very low key and fun, with delicious food and lots of clothes (fuzzy sheep-skin slippers that look like grampa slippers except they are BRIGHT PINK and therefore WIN) and books for presents, which makes me VERY happy.
Anyway, REC! The first Christmas book I've now finished was great! Called Gods Behaving Badly which was a good bit of fun, all about the Greek Gods living in a dilapidated house in London, trying not to screw up the world too much. Most amusing was the part when Zeus, who is a senile old man who watches TV all day, was insisting that Doctor Who was a god, and enacting god-like violence against Apollo when he tried to disagree. Also, Aphrodite is a telephone sex operator. I love British humour.
And I watched Voyage of the Damned! I already said most of my thoughts at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goldy_dollar and ninamazing's journals, but I really did enjoy it this year. It was fun and sweet and sad and felt very much like Doctor Who. But the new credit music weirded the heck out of me. Clearly, change + Doctor Who is also becoming an issue for me. BUT IT WAS ALL... DIFFERENT. WITH THE ELECTRIC GUITAR AND STUFF. Another thing I'll have to mull over.
And in more exciting BBC news, Shadow in the North is airing on Sunday! YAY BILLIE. I'm so looking forward to this one, even if it has been years since I read it and mostly I remember a lot of crying coming out of it, but still. J.J. Feild is also WAY up there in Hot Men I Am Currently Drooling Over (my heart went ka-THUMP from his first scene in Ruby in the Smoke and then there was Northanger Abbey and I was done) so I am all anticipation and GLEE. Not to mention the fact that Sally Lockhart is KICK-ASS, and smart and beautiful and everything a hero should be (that's for you, Nina ;)). And Billie Piper plays her. So... where is the downside?
The Beeb released a preview clip but I would really recommend you NOT watch it unless you've read the book. 'Cause could they have chosen a more spoilery moment? Well probably, but it's still rather extreme.
Lastly - I miss Robin Hood. It's been a week and a half. What am I going to do when it's over?
*goes to watch the proposal scene again*
