DAD: So, what's up today?
ME: Not much.
DAD: You always say that.
ME: Mm...no, really, not much.
DAD: That always means there was stuff and you just don't want to tell me about it.
ME: Weeelllll...I don't think you want to hear about it...
DAD: Oh, try me. What was there?
ME: ...Doctor Who porn?
DAD: *pause* Right. Not much.
ME: It's not like I told you which characters were involved. You haven't even met them! ...technically.
I love having a family aware of my inclinations.
(And it's true, he hasn't--having not seen much of the old series, he's no idea what Five even looks like, and I only just got him to watch Utopia tonight. Long story. I'm looking forward to his reaction to The Phone Call.)

Hey, you know who the next Doctor should be if Rusty/Moffat wants to keep the vague trend of hiring a Scotsman and the definite trend of making the show gaytastic? Alan Cumming.

My Beautiful Laundrette: you know, it's oddly refreshing to see a gay story that really has nothing to do with the fact that the main characters are sleeping together. The drama would have been just the same if they weren't. Granted, it would have been slashy as sin, but still. Also: when not being dramatic, was v. cute. Points!
(In my head I am compiling a list of all the famous actors who've played gay in some movie or another. It is surprisingly long, and Hugo Weaving is on it three times. Jude Law is on it twice! This surprised me.)

Avenue Q: hysterical, gorgeous set (if you like buildings, and I do), cute actors even if you're not really supposed to look at them, excellent singing and impressively squeaky voices, grand use of drop-down TV screens, the kind of horribly dirty jokes I can cackle at and be surrounded by other people who are also cackling, marvelous puppetry, and a significant, sympathetic gay male character who doesn't die in the end? MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS.
The guy who did Princeton and Rod was really cute, actually. Very short. Same with the adorable, tiny Asian chick who rocked the hell out of Kate Monster and Lucy. Seriously, how do tiny Asian chicks get voices that big? Or smoky?

So, uh, There Will Be Blood. Was it...supposed to be kinda gay? I mean, probably not, movies like that usually aren't meant to have that particular brand of subtext, but Daniel and Eli did seem kinda obsessed with each other and then there was the ending with Eli sobbing about all those horrible non-specific sins he'd committed and, you know, the idea of Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, while admittedly a little disturbing, is certainly an interesting one. And Eli could totally go on about how the infinite forgiveness of God made it okay if they just repented afterwards, except Daniel would just be like "fuck no" and then they'd just have more angry, manipulative sex and that kind of fucked-up relationship would make quite a logical lead-up to the ending of the movie. It would. You know it would.
If you go by the actors' ages, which are presumably about the same as the characters', you get a 29-year difference, which would be the largest age difference I've ever shipped, not counting anything to do with Doctor Who because that would be like cheating.

Having fiiiinally seen the last two episodes of Reaper, I have a few things to say:
1) Awesome.
2) No, seriously, awesome.
3) Steve and Tony? Especially awesome. Tearing-up awesome.
4) Ahem. Okay. TV, I would like to have a talk with you. I could deal with Heroes. I could deal with Supernatural. Retroactively, I can say that I dealt with Dexter. Pushing Daisies was kind of a surprise, but hey, it wasn't like it was a ship or anything, and besides, I'm sure it will all be explained next season. But now? This is too many. Five shows is too many for this. So what I'm really saying is, STOP IT WITH THE INCEST I GET THE FREAKING POINT ALREADY OH MY GOD.
5) *deep breath*
6) No, seriously. Beyond the obvious, even. Beyond my corrupt little mind. Remember Cady? I think her name was Cady, anyway. Remember how she was the Devil's daughter? Now remember who was dating her? Yeah. Yeah, that ain't just the warped minds of the internet. That shit is canon, probably because they just forgot about it, but hey.
7) FIVE SHOWS NOW. SERIOUSLY.

Rewatched the Being Human pilot, because an epidemic of good fic for it was going around my flist, and also because I could. My findings: yes, George, Mitchell, and Annie are still the most adorable things to ever grace the face of the Earth, even if boring vampire drama still leaks in around the edges. On the not-so-cute side of things, though, Annie's description of the afterlife as "the long hall with the men at the end with sticks and robes" is deeply, deeply intriguing--it seems to me a very Ursula Vernon image (Google her, she's awesome), and I'd quite like to see them go into that a bit more. Which they totally could, because there will be more episodes omg. *dances the dance of the picked-up-for-whole-season*

What do I do when I finally get to Five? I make a left turn back to Two. Naturally. Unfortunately, the second disc of The Invasion hasn't been Netflixed yet--and let me tell you, it is awesome, it has those two animated parts where the Doctor looks evil because of his crazy eyebrows and then there's the Brig and Zoe totally gets an adorable photographer girlfriend and even the animators, lacking photographic reference, know that clearly the Doctor and Jamie would be clinging to each other at any available opportunity, so, basically, it is awesome--so I timidly wander out into that particular small, happy area of DW fandom, and there are a lot of great and silly picspams and very ardent declarations of love and oh hey there's a recs list and oh god I ship a pairing I am physically incapable of reading. I get to that point and my brain screeches into reverse. It's even worse than Three/Delgado!Master--which I thoroughly, thoroughly approve of but am made vaguely uneasy by the prospect of reading--because that, I actually can read, but Two/Jamie? No no no. Unfortunate ageist tendencies + disconcerting sense of semi-pedophilia = I find it totally, totally adorable and am a firm believer in season 6b and would gladly espouse its adorable glory to anyone who cared to listen, but I cannot read it.
In largely unrelated news, in two days I will officially have graduated high school. Er. That's...very, very strange. (I've been repeating that phrase a lot lately. It's pretty much the only way I can think of to describe it.)

So--because it's the last school week for seniors (oh god oh god oh god), in history class, we've pretty much just been eating ridiculous amounts of food and doing random stuff. (One girl brought fried rice. Home-made fried rice, y'all. And another brought home-made cake, and the teacher got us a whole ton of donuts, and there's all these chips, and I got brownies, and one girl brought like three different kinds of Oreos and it has been a good past couple days.) Yesterday, it was leaked out that I've never seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off; today, we started to watch it. And...
1) Gosh darnit, Matthew Broderick was cute. I have all these hang-ups about the guy (don't ask), so why is he cute.
2) Regarding Ferris and Cameron: ...I'm a horrible person.
is there nothing that I can look at any more? Nothing?

Adventures in Watching Almost Every Damn Episode of Doctor Who That is Possible to Find, part ten, special "Exits and Intros" edition:
I'm going to put Three away for a while, I think, until I finally decide to watch Inferno (and probably one of the other Liz episodes, too); I've been sidetracked long enough, and shall now head back to Four, Romana, and the Key to Time, until I go back and watch The Seeds of Doom because I haven't seen nearly enough Four-Sarah Jane and that was the last regular appearance of UNIT anyway. Allons-y!

Adventures in Watching Almost Every Damn Episode of Doctor Who That is Possible to Find, part eight, special "I can't remember anything but I promise you I really liked it" edition:
Only one episode this time, because that took way longer to write up than I thought it would, and I'm feeling a bit writing-drained at the moment, what with powering through...er...something. *coughs* And I haven't even gotten to the really fun part yet.

CRYPTIC TIME
Apropos of nothing, now that I've finally discovered what Season 6B is, I can only express massive levels of approval for it.
(Also, has anyone written a story concerning what Jo got up to during the Year That Wasn't? I'm...just wondering, is all.)

Late, late, yes, I know, it's my thing. *grumbles*
In other news, a conversation with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) vanitashaze inspired me to create this.  Wee bit illegible, I know, but I had fun. In other other news, I've acquired a taste for Five/Ainley!Master without having seen any of their episodes; I think it's pretty well-established at this point that I'm a special person.

And now, off I go to watch more 'The Face of Evil', because OMG FOUR and OMG LEELA and OMG FOUR AND LEELA and I pretty much can't stop flailing about them. She killed three people in a rather nasty way in the first part of her first episode! HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HER.
