Ahahahahahaaaahaahaaaaa!

I'd forgotten how bad the special effects and attempts as suspense in classic Who could be. Oh. Oh my.

:D

(I've decided to put a series of Fourth Doctor before the next series of Ten. A), because there are still six years of Four to watch, and B), because twenty minute eps are more compatible with my schedule at the moment. And, possibly, C), because I need a while to get over my disgust with Last of the Time Lords. *g* I've just started my second series of Four; his first I watched... six or seven years ago. That was actually my first experience with Doctor Who, ever.)

Just for fun:

Order in which I've watched Doctor Who, so far:

1. series of the 4th Doctor: in 2003 or 2004
9th Doctor: at time of first airing, 2005
3rd Doctor (all five series): early to mid 2010 (with some 1st and 2nd Doctor interspersed)
3. series of the 10th Doctor: some five or so eps watched in mid to late 2010
11th Doctor: just before Christmas 2010
1. & 2. series of the 10th Doctor: January 2011 (except for some eps watched in 2006)
2. series of the 4th Doctor: just started

I'm not exactly great at doing this chronologically... but then, the Doctor isn't good at doing things chronologically, either.

ETA: Added some stuff I'd forgotten first time around.

To infuse some reality...

Does anybody else find the weather here in Europe a bit alarming? From freezing to spring-like, balmy warmth in, what, two days? It's crazy. I went out wearing a scarf yesterday, figuring it was winter, and came home drenched in sweat, half an hour later.

For those curious about that Ph.D. thing I mentioned. I have only a couple more days to complete that, and no clue how to even start. Hooray.

Fifteen minutes of internet fame

Someone chose a screenshot from my level Remembering the City for the Jay Is Games NightSky giveaway contest! The "task" for the contest was to post one's favourite screen from a Nifflas game. Technically, my level isn't a Nifflas game, of course, but that's all the more reason I'm flattered someone thought it worth posting there. ;-)

It's #11:

The level itself,, should you be interested, can be found here:

You need to have Knytt Stories to play it, of course. As Knytt Stories is free, fun and beautiful, you should probably have Knytt Stories anyway. ;-)
