1. The Cat-Man & I -- totally done, formatted, spell checked: 5.5 pages
2. The Price of Oz -- totally done, formatted, spell checked: 7.5 pages
3. The Life of Dogs -- totally done, formatted, spell checked: 5.5 pages
4. some shit about fencing -- 1st draft done, very incoherent, likely to get a lot shorter: 11 pages (I need it to survive as at least 6.5)

5. personal statement -- totally done, formatted, spell checked: 425 wrds out of a possible 500.
6. proposal -- totally done, formatted, spell checked: 432 words (including bullet points) of a possible 500.

7. CV -- dread and woe

other matters:

8. laundry -- I should put some in
9. microwave -- picking up tomorrow
10. food -- I ate some toast


All of this is probably more positive than I should expect.

I am finally getting on the Torchwood bandwagon.

Season 1, Episode 1: bad, but the first episode of every show is bad. Like Jack's coat, love Ianto's suit, hey, they just killed Indira Varma.

Season 1, Episode 2: a sex parasite? Oi. On the other hand, I can see how this might just turn into the best trash on television. Oh hey, girls kissing that doesn't involve soft lighting and lame emotional content. Okay, so it involves a sex parasite, but still!
