Bits & Pieces

[thisbluespirit]

1. My parents are up visiting, so I may be more erratic and less comment-y than usual (or not, we'll see) but if I miss something, that's why. (We had to watch an episode of Public Eye yesterday and Dad was complaining to me about Frank leaving Mrs Mortimer. It was great, but seriously surreal. What have I done, people? I'm only sad I won't be there to see it when Mrs M turns up again.)


2. Marvellous Twelve & Clara vid by purplefringe; seriously, it encompasses so much, it's excellent:

"Doctor Who | Pompeii | Twelfth Doctor & Clara" (Watch on YouTube)

(You can find the vidpost here.)

And, hey, less than three weeks now till S9 (just)! *twirls DW fans*



3. frelling_tralk is running an X-Files friending meme.


4. As ever, I'd swear there was something else. Imagine it here. It was probably the most important thing. ;-) (Well, other than that swordznsorcery is very kind and sent me a file full of James Maxwell gifs from his ep of The Champions for me to wake up to this morning, and what more can one ask for from someone? ♥)

I just saw that video earlier this morning! <3 it's so good.

Glad to hear your parents are into Private Eye

eta Just a tiny detail, but I love that the first "nothing changed at all" falls on a closeup of jelly babies in a little case. <3

It is, isn't it! And there are so many awesome tiny details and visual parallels in it, but that is a particularly nice one. :-)

You have turned your parents into Private Eye fans! That it so awesome. I have never managed to get my parents -- or anyone in my family -- excited about any of my shows.

Well, none of my family do fandom, but we've always got each other into things, all round - never anything quite as odd or old as Public Eye, though! (Consider me being fairly smug.) ;-)

Thanks for the vid rec :)

My pleasure! Purplefringe is an awesome vidder, so I knew it would be great, and it was indeed. :-)

Great, thanks, I love that vid, so that was the most important thing, though I love your statement of "I'd swear there was something else. Imagine it here." *grin*

I have terrible trouble remembering things when making lists in posts! But, yes, you're right; that vid was definitely the most important thing. It was lovely - and I'm not surprised you enjoyed it! Here's to S9! ♥

It was lovely, indeed. Something that really annoyed me, though, was that I hadn't actually visited YouTube for a while in order to get into my old account, and my old account (which had tons of favorited vids, a list I'd have prefered not to lose) apparently no longer exists, because everything's now tied into my gmail account?? I knew YouTube became obsessed with asking my old account (which had this screenname) what my real name was, but didn't know they'd just delete that old account or make it impossible to reach... *spit* Don't care to have my real name known everywhere, thanks, YouTube. Grr-arrgh.

Ah, yes, that is annoying! YouTUbe used to keep trying to make me be signed in with my yahoo account, but I kept telling it that I wanted to stay signed in as lostspook and it seems to have shut up now? It may still be possible to alter yours if you poke at the settings or hit it repeatedly or something? But I don't know; maybe it just mated permanently with Google while you weren't paying it attention. Websites are so sneaky these days. They used to ask before doing stuff.

Ohh, such awesome things!! And James Maxwell GIFs!! What more can someone hope for?!

*HUGS*
