Hello smile

I'm Siobhan Curran/Kisa Naumova, and this is my weblog. I tend to write about stuff like crossdressing, Macs, code, cats, wine and Second Life, but in general it's just an ongoing conversation about all sorts of stuff. If you'd like to know a little bit more about what this all is, I recommend starting on this page which has a little bit of info on who I am, and what I'm trying to do — or you could dive into my five years worth of archives if you like.

Otherwise, feel free to close this box and explore...

Morning Detritus

There is a roll of toilet paper lying on the floor of my living room. This presumably means that something was spilled last night.

Upstairs, in my studio, the headphones are plugged in, the volume is as high as it can go, and Bad Ambassador is queued up on iTunes.

Downstairs, are three empty bottles, hinting at possible excesses.

My forehead is ablaze with pain — not hangover pain, actual pain. The pain that only comes when you smack yourself squarely across the head somehow.

I really don't know what happened last night.

don't worry, I'll call you later and tell you :tongue:

April Angell

My main centre of concern is my head. I think I might have been headbanging to The Who at some point. Was I on the phone to you at the time, or was that later?

Dont you just love blackouts?

I hate waking up not remembering wtf i did the night before.

yes April, someone usually spills the beans.

Sedimentary

£3.99 from Virgin Wines. Bloody nice, but a surprising amount of sediment. It caught me unawares and I had to spit in the sink

Nice Arse Luv

Oooh, David. Bit tight those trousers aren't they? :biggrin:

Also, I must say that I'm rather loving Rose's outfit too.

Meanwhile, whilst lying in bed waiting for tonight's episode, I'm making my way through ITV3's complete Sherlock Holmes Weekend. Sometimes TV is good...

Sausagelinks — How to cook sausages

Because I'm never sure if they're done or not — a webpage most noticable for what looks like two sausages having rumpy-pumpy

Maureen Lipman Will Steal Your Soul

(To be said in a 'mwah ha har' voice, otherwise it doesn't work)

Meh. I feel really let down by that episode. I wasn't really expecting much, based on catching snippets of trailers that promised a less-successful re-run of last season's (brilliant) Thing With The Gasmasks (she said, too lazy to look up the title), but even so the episode ended with a whimper rather than a full-on Who-fest of fireworks.

I think, perhaps, that the biggest problem I had with it was Maureen Lipman herself — or rather the alien she was playing. She wasn't menacing enough — sometimes it doesn't take big wow-factors like Cybermen and Daleks to scare the pants off you, sometimes it's just little unnerving things. But as a face inside a telly, ~~she~~ it came across as inept, and a little flat.

In fact, maybe that was the whole thing — there wasn't enough depth to it all. The faceless people weren't really scarey (they could have been — losing your face is a true subconscious terror I guess), the characters were all one-dimensional (and a bit too "cor blimey guv'nor" if you ask me), and "The Wire" (crap evil baddie name) being carried to the top of Aly Pally (sp?) in a portable television only to be destroyed by a mixture of valves and Betamax, well, left me thinking...

"Doctor, why didn't you just smash the telly. Eh?"

I dunno. Not the greatest episode.

I'm holding out for next week, when it looks like Our Favourite Timelord will team up with Red Dwarf and Alien in a BBC remake of Disney's The Black Hole

Cameos

Just watching more of ITV3's Sherlock Holmes Weekend, and these two chaps popped up in The Redheaded League:

OMG Kittens!

Glorious, simply glorious. Tish is mewing in appreciation

I am now in severe trouble with my two... They're demanding why I haven't made a music video about them!

Emily S

What about that background though eh? Fucking hardcore that is :smile:

OMG that is just so lame.

The song is just really, really shite.

Stephanie Rowe

You have no taste :tongue:

Re maureen lipman I think over all, the alian she played was freeky enough. if something like that started talking to me through my telly I wouldn't hang around long enough forit to give me any orders. what let the side down was the pethetic cries of "Feed me!"

also the character lact a lot of substance. well it didn't have any cos of it being an image on the telly what I mean is that we didn't find out much about the Wire. what was it, where did it come from, why was it abolished from it's own planet. my guess is that it was doing the same world domination thing on it's home planet.

Stephanie Rowe

don't get me started on hip hop. I hate it!

Stephanie Rowe

Well, I'm with you on that. But c'mon ... Kittens!

I canny see the kittens. I'm a blindy

Stephanie Rowe

Trust me then. There are lots of kittens. They more than make up for the woeful music.

I'm more of a dog person. cats are ok though.

Stephanie Rowe

Cats are much cooler than dogs. I have this validated by a higher power :smile:

course tish would say that.

Stephanie Rowe

oh dear god, my eyes hurt from all the colours and flashing.... but the kittens are very cute.."cat i feel for you, cat you know i love you too..meow meow, meow" as the man says in the 'song' :smile:

Freiya

Does anyone else think this?

Christopher Ecclestone's doctor — personal anger (a level of grief almost) some fear and a certain questioning of where he fitted in, as the last of his race and particularly a questioning of his own right to interfere.

David Tennant's doctor — righteous indignation and the absolute conviction that he is not only right but completely justified in everything he does. I seem to remember he was likened to a god a couple of episodes ago.

I'm not critisising, just making the observation and wondering if you or anyone else has noticed.

As for the link — well it had kittens whats not to like. Music? Oh was there music? Too busy looking at the kittens.
