Out of Town
Tonight Charles and I are going to the coast for our annual anniversary trip - a little earlier than usual this year, and also possibly a little bit longer, due to a fortuitously timed field work assignment which, if it comes through, will allow me to sponge off of Charles' employers for that much-coveted "one more day." I'll be back sometime in the middle of next week.

I've been in one of Those Moods lately, the sort of brain-fried state of mind in which stringing together words becomes unreasonably difficult, and reading anything more complex than Goodnight Moon a total trial. So instead, I've been playing Civilization and browsing fanvids on YouTube, which for some reason my computer can handle, even though it usually chokes on video.

I've also been watching loads of ancient Doctor Who. I miss quarries. Why does the new series never shoot scenes in quarries? The quarries were one of the best things about the show! I understand that the production values have improved and all that, but really, that's no reason to abandon everything about the old aesthetic.

At least someone on Youtube understands the repetitive yet soothing beauty of the overused shooting location.

The most perfect killing machine ever devised...

Must go pack now.

Thank you for that link. I don't know anything about Doctor Who but damn, I do love killer rabbits.

Enjoy your time at the beach! Lisa and I just spent a few days at Seaside for our sixth anniversary.

(And that killing machine must have incredible regenerational powers, seeing that it kills robots thousands of years after it got hit with the holy hand grenade of Antioch :)

Hello, Elkins!

Happy Anniversary, and I hope you are enjoying your trip. I'm getting back into LJ after a summer away, and just read the past few months of your posts.

I must say, Steve looks exactly like my cat Squeaky. Now, I know that all animals are equal all black cats look alike, but some black cats look more alike than others. Steve and Squeaky could be twin brothers! (Well, apart from the fact that Squeaky's actual twin brother looked nothing like him.) Squeaky, by the way, is just naturally skinny, even though he gets all the food he wants.

Thanks for the link to "the most perfect killing machine." That looked like it took some real computer graphics skills to make.

Heya, Elkins. I hope you are happy and busy in RL or moved on to some shinier place on the internet or whatever.

Just wanted to say hi in hope you're still getting comment notifications from this. I kinda miss you.
