- Last night Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against Bush and no one noticed. Despair.

- Can the New York Times please stop writing articles that marvel that women like technology, sex or sports? I'm getting really sick of it. Today's latest? Oh my god, we like smart phones!!!! Civilization is about to fall, I'm telling you.

- Testing at work today. Can I just say, not my idea of a good time?

- I know we all slag, and rightfully so, on Wikipedia, but it's a real godsend when you need a cursory bit of information for a bit of fiction. Unfortunately, because of sam_storyteller my brain keeps calling it the "Whenkipedia."

- The heat is supposed to start breaking today. Which is good, as I actually hit a dizzy spell from it late last night. I am surprised it took that long.

- Still no letters from Patty. Sigh. This is definitely harder and more complicated communication-wise than Cyprus. On the other hand, we know where we stand, so it's not anxiety producing. That said, I really hope I get something from her soon (I know she's mailed at least three). Also, I have to send her Nutella this week. It makes everything better. Even sand storms.

- Parents tonight.

"Whenkipedia."

It is making me think it needs to be in a Torchwood fanfic for some reason.

It's from a DW/TW fic, in fact! sam_storyteller is amazing if you're not familiar with his work.

I'm becoming familiar with his work because of you, actually :)

I have tended to stay away from most fan fiction because I have found that it's usually awful, and not in keeping with the characters. However... yours is quite good for TW, and I'm really likeing sam_storyteller's too.

I am shocked! And pleased :)

Hehehe. There's a lot of bad out there (and DW/TW in particular tends to be a magnet for the bad for reasons I am still trying to discern), but there are people out there who are doing amazing stuff either because they really know how to tell stories or because they are actors who type and understand characters in really fundamental ways.

Particularly hilarious/odd is the thing Sam did that's "if Torchwood were an American network show" that sort of turns it into a cross between what it is, Law & Order and the West Wing.
