Last night the cab I was in got pulled over my cops. You'd think they'd tell a passenger what to do, or acknowledge the woman they are dumping out on the road at 3:20am in some way because of whatever drama is up, but no, nothing. I just sort of wandered off.

Lovely blissful morning domestic, followed by ridiculous professional stressors. All now appears fine.

Very pleased to hear that one of the tidbits of actual insight from Torchsong was JB saying that (paraphrasing) "Jack is the Doctor's Ianto". I like being right about things.

I'm seriously hacked off about this shooting at the Holocaust Museum, and hope to have the energy to talk cogently about it later, although, what is there to say?

I feel sort of bummed that I pretty much can't send that photo sykii took of me to my parents, but they keep waiting for more shoes to drop in terms of my sexuality and gender identity and being a big ol' freak, and things like that alarm them.

Buds on multiple tomato plants now, so hopefully new tomatoes growing soon. The first zebra tomato will probably be ready to eat this weekend.

Buds on the pepper plant are opening, but no peppers yet.

There's been some animal interaction with the plants again -- an attack on the lavender has me worried for it, and something went after the dirt in the zebra tomato, but everything seems to be hanging in okay.

The basil 2.0 is thriving.

"Jack is the Doctor's Ianto"

he did, indeed, say that (gareth's face was kind of hilarious when he said it, too)

I've always seen it that way -- not in terms of sex or romance, but in terms of devotion and role model stuff. I felt very vindicated when I read that.

that's the way he explained it, too
nothing to do with sex (a bit love, maybe, but mostly hero worship and the leader/follower dynamic)

Yes. Yes.

We even see Jack make tea for the Doctor in "The Sound of Drums", if I'm not mistaken. (But he puts his thumb in it when he carries it over to him, which is just so goofy and yet so Jack.)

Yeah, and in "Utopia" Jack takes the Doctor's coat. The best thing about this, if you listen to the commentary, is that apparently John Barrowman actually insisted on that detail -- it wasn't actually in RTD's original script. :)

See, it things like this that let me keep the love so strong for this show and the people working on it, even when fandom events make me get tetchy.

Oh, I had no idea! That's wonderful!
