Rain, rain and more rain. It's finally supposed to be sunny again tomorrow, which is good as I think the plants are getting a little bored of this. The buds on the pepper have separated -- there are four, so hopefully there will be some interesting activity there soon. We're at three growing tomatoes and those other buds on the zebra, so hopefully we'll get some more new tomatoes going on around the end of next week. The other tomatoes are still too young for buds, and I'm picking up the last of the plants tomorrow.
The dress from Trashy Diva came in. It fits (thank god -- I wasn't actually sure my measurements were still the same) and it's much more a delicate thing than I had envisioned. It's less a startlet thing and more very thirties, very fragile, very (for those of you who have read the thing), dare I say it, Annie. Well, fuck, that's interesting. Maybe slicking back my hair and with some dark lipstick I can tart it up. Either way, I need to get some random stuff for my hair for it, because current haircut (which I still hate) is way too butch for it.
Which brings us to this weekend. Duchess Clothier is in town, and will be at Wit's End tomorrow and is having a fitting/sales thing on Sunday. I'm going to both. I own one suit. And I've got this new dress. And I'm all filled with consternation about it. I suppose I'll just have to take it as my mood comes on, but I need to get underpinnings for the dress, in case I do decide to wear it tomorrow. It may be lined, but it still needs a slip and a very 1950s bra. Also, New Yorkers, who is coming to what?
Patty gets home Monday or Tuesday (OMG, her family and planning -- hopefully we will learn things from each other as time goes on -- certainly, I think I am becoming more zen about this sort of stuff) and then her mom is staying around through Barn Dance!
Hey, my IMDB profile has been updated enough that there's now a schedule of when you (if you're in the States) can see me on your TV. That's a little weird. There is, of course, no need to go out of your way, as most of these things are brief if I'm visible at all. However, I do get residuals from Revolutionary Road so if you want to show it the love when the DVD release happens, I won't stop you.
The new Doctor Who companion has been chosen. She's cute, but, OMG, it's all so young. They better play up the Doctor's age, body aside. I'm just saying.
Welcome, new people. Sometimes, I write smart stuff. Sometimes I write porny fanfic or talk about my illegal fire-escape garden. If you've got questions, feel free to ask 'em now. Meanwhile, I do actually read (or at least skim) my whole f-list, although I comment sporadically. It does take me a while to get to know names/icons/stories/etc. so if you'd like to introduce yourself here, you can do that too.
Just booked my WriterCon flights, which now means I've finished all con logistics for the rest of the year. That's AWESOME.
"This is the second transition to a new Doctor that I've seen 'realtime,' as it were, and I'm very anxious about it."
New Doctor, new companion, new producer, new writers, (apparently) new TARDIS interior--I've never seen a "live" transition between show producers before, but it was usually startling enough a change just in old-show reruns that this should be interesting, if nothing else.
"I thought Tennant was delicious from the beginning, while this new guy...um, how do I put it kindly...has quite a bit of forehead, doesn't he? *cough*"
He's...er...well, his face does stand out a bit, that's for certain. ;-) I just really want to see what sort of costume he's getting and whether it complements The Forehead or just makes it look ridiculous.
(apparently) new TARDIS interior - o reeeeeally? Oooooh. Intrigued! Hopefully they'll at least mention that there's more to the inside of the TARDIS than that one big room. And yeah, I hadn't added up all the changes... yikes. We'll see. I will keep my fingers crossed! *eeee*
I think some of it is simply that they're going to be filming both the specials and the new season in HD, under which scrutiny the existing TARDIS set won't apparently pass muster, so they're switching it up for the new Doctor.
Good idea to show more than the TARDIS console room and changing room...
