Things that have happened recently

 include:

~ Let's Kill Hitler finally went out (longest 12 days ever?!) so I can actually talk about it now without fear I'll accidentally say something spoilery. WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK?? As I said before, my actual favourite moments were a) flashback Amy/Rory, the terror in Rory's eyes, oh bless, that is a feeling I know very well and b) the Doctor's talking to the voice interface inside the TARDIS, both how he reacts to images of Rose and Donna and particularly lovely, wonderful and much maligned Martha, and the hologram of Amelia insisting he will be dead in 32 minutes. Plus, I am really loving the evolution of Rory, the badassery not removing the adorableness. Actually, I am shipping Amy/Rory way harder than ever before now - the way they said "I love you" when they thought they would die awwwwwwww AMAZING.

I wonder if/when the BFI will post the Q&A session.

~ I GOT MY POTTERMORE EMAIL. It is cool in there you guys. I am in absolutely no rush to get through it or anything, so I have mainly been hanging out making potions thus far and adoring the extra bits of insight and backstory that I've got to so far. I was so freaking relieved to be sorted into Slytherin you have no idea - I worried at one point that I might come across as a Ravenclaw (uh, no offence Ravenclaws) and was like, if I don't get into Slytherin I shall cry all the tears. But I did. THANK YOU POTTERMORE.

~ I drank lots of cocktails with various people. That was nice :)

~ I fell into really liking My Chemical Romance. There I was, watching their set at Reading and appreciating Gerard's red hair, which is either pretty much or exactly the same bright red as Benjamin Cook's btw, getting Play to telling me who these people are (despite me actually having read fic featuring them in the past) and then IDEK I noticed that Mikey Way is very hot and now I am listening to albums and reading fic and looking for interviews? It's pretty fun :D

~ Most of the books I am taking on holiday turned up. (Did I mention I am about to go on holiday?) I am just about managing not to read them yet, but I have not managed to resist opening the packaging and stroking them a little bit. Still waiting on two.

~ A VERY POTTER THREEQUEL IS CONFIRMED AND HAPPENING with Darren onboard and everything!!! YOU GUYS, WE'RE GOING BACK. This is totally why he said he was growing his hair out again. I am very happy and excited.

How is everyone?

Today I have been rubbish at casting spells and even more rubbish at making potions. I melted TWO cauldrons ;__; It has been less exciting and more incredibly frustrating >:(

So much love for Doctor Who. The next few episodes look AWESOME. Did you not like Let's Kill Hitler? I know some people felt a bit let down...?

I AM SOMEWHERE BETWEEN GOOD and absolutely horrendous. Um, yay? :/

I heard that JKR is using Pottermore to reveal more HP canon -- have you found any of it/is is super cool, or ...? And I'm sorry about your cauldrons ;___;

I'm still sorting out my feelings on it. It was a lot to take in in one episode, and it might just have been because I was watching it sporadically (I would get up, do something, come back to the episode) but it felt less like its own episode and more like reading the first two chapters of a book: not enough to get immersed because there is SO MUCH MORE to the story.

So, while I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, because River was all the awesome and so was her previous incarnation and lol what @ Hitler in the closet, I just don't know what my feelings are doing @___@

SO LIKE LIFE. EXCELLENT. OH JOY, GOOD AND ABJECT MISERY. *hugs*

There is more canon, character backstory particularly, and also some bits of commentary, her thoughts and explanations about why she did things. Some (typed up obviously) notes that have since changed. I think it's interesting - my favourite thing I've found so far is McGonagall's backstory, which is long and in depth and lovely if sad.

I think it'll be great when all the River stuff is finally done and we can go back and watch it all unfold in one go, instead of having to live in this WIP, but I am really enjoying it thus far!
