So, I'm not too headachey today, and so was able to drive mum into Belco for her diabetes appointment thingy. I come home and find a note from the post office to say that two boxes of stock have arrived from the US. I keep transferring data off the new (and problematic) PC and onto my 8 year old but much more reliable machine. I check the shop email, have heard back from the two customers whose orders I buggered up - both have been gracious. I check my regular mail...
LJ Permanent Account Upgrade
Huh? Oh they must be announcing that they're doing that again. I open it up to see how much it'll cost.
(the following is an anonymous gift)
Your LiveJournal account "dalekboy" has been upgraded to a permanent
account.
It's not a joke, or a mistake, someone has paid a lot of money for me to have a permanent account on here. Anonymously.
You Bastard!
( Go on, read more, you smug prick! )

I know a couple of people on here who will appreciate this. I drag myself to the supermarket to pick up a few things, and decide while there I better get some condoms. Shaz has been decidedly more amourous of late, and since we don't want her to go getting pregnant just yet, we're using condoms. ( So I try to buy a pack... )

Another sleepless night. I so need more than four hours sleep a night at the moment. Anyway, here's a test I grokked off ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
prismfire (Thanks gorgeous!) that asks you a lot of questions and then tries to give you all the answers - personality, life experience, politics, etc. I thought some was quite good, but where it got it wrong, it was way, waaaay wrong.
That said, please if you do this test, put the blasted thing behind an lj cut! It's friggin' huge, and a bloody ugly colour! And make the request of others, otherwise your friends list will be a massive expanse of orangey-peach! Blah!
Can you tell I'm sleep deprived?
( Test results below cut... )

Everything that Torchwood got wrong and continued to get wrong for most of its first season, The Sarah Jane Adventures got right first time.
SJA is far and away the more enjoyable show to watch, the tone for what it wants to do is correct, the characters consistent, and most importantly, it left me wanting more.
Torchwood seemed rarely sure of what it wanted to be, and worst still, is written so that people act in ways that are out-of-character to forward the story, or more frequently, add an 'adult' feel with sex, violence or conflict. This made it kind of ordinary.
SJA feels written by adults who have a sense of fun and whimsy, who love what they are doing, and want you to love it too. It pulls out daggy ideas, knowing you will groan or laugh, and that you will enjoy them anyway. The emotional core of SJA works. And Sarah Jane herself is handled well. Wonderful, sad, and dotty in just the right way. She had a few moments that brought me close to tears.
Torchwood feels like it was written by teenagers revelling in being able to put in 'grown-up' things like sex. The problem is it feels shoe-horned in. The heart of Torchwood is a mess of confused, conflicting relationships meaning that no-one ends up being very likeable. And Captain Jack is not the man we loved in Doctor Who. Now that makes sense, given his situation, but means the character we most want to connect with we can't. He has some beautiful moments, but they are few and far between, and the actor himself seems uncomfortable with his part.
The adult show is often juvenile in its attemps to be 'adult,' whilst the kids show is the more mature. The best thing about Torchwood is it gave us a new script by P.J. Hamilton.
I won't buy Torchwood on DVD unless I see it cheap, really, really cheap. And then only for the link to DW, and for the Hammond story. If it has a writer's commentary for that episode, bonus.
I would buy the series of SJA unseen, based on the pilot alone.

My Sexuality
Okay, Not Safe for Work. It rambles and goes into detail about my sexual history. I’m not exaggerating when I say we’re talking novella, it's around 10,000 words, why else do you think it's taken weeks? And it's still not half of what I could say. One or two bits may shock or surprise. You have been warned. All comments to this post will be screened, only those with a YES at the end will be unscreened.( Read more... )
