Sometimes, I feel like an alien

[tysolna]

It's cold, it's overcast, and I have absolutely no desire to get ready to go to what will be hours of sound check before the gig tonight. In fact, I have absolutely no desire to play a gig tonight, especially knowing that we will all be at the end of our stamina after the third or fourth set, with one or two more to go, that our voices will be shot to hell, and that, since I will be driving, I won't even be able to drink. OK, so drinking is never a good idea when you need the fine motor control for playing the violin, granted, but still, it's the thought that counts.
I wonder if any of our fans that didn't show up on Thursday will be there tonight. One will probably be late because hey, it's a party, so we're going to need hours to get ready. I'll admit the end result is worth seeing, though.
Like Thursday, I don't really have pre-gig nerves; the butterflies in the stomach seem more like the ghosts of love, if you know what I mean - the nervous excitedness of fresh love, only with there being no "target", so I guess it's bloody hormones again. Unless it's a "something's coming"-feeling á la "West Side Story".

Thanks to ... someone ... I was able to watch "Tooth & Claw" yesterday, while the rest of the Who-world was watching Sarah Jane and K9. I'm looking forward to seeing "School Reunion", and wondering if my theory about the thematic structure of Season 2 vs Season 1 is correct.

And finally, thanks Red for the Orbital CD. Fantastic!

Don't fret! Some friendly person on lj is offering downloads for all us underpriviledged, BBC-challenged people. Only eppies though, no confies.
Gods yeah, I had tears in me eyes at the end! Tennant is effing brilliant. And, to be quite honest - Doctor, ditch the blonde bimbo! I'm starting to hate Rose. Seriously.

Theory? Please to extrapolate.

>Please to extrapolate.


But wasn't the extrapolator in series 1? ;-)

No, that was the destressifyer. It's smaller and goes, 'bloop!'

Is that anything like Red Dwarf's 'tension sheet' , ie, a piece of bubble wrap with the words 'tension sheet' printed on it?

Bubble wrap is a fantastic invention! :D

[fangedsekhmet.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's more like one of those squishy, executive toys...

I don't know about anyone else, but bubble wrap can keep me occupied for hours!

Will do; it's crystallizing in my head at the moment and will probably require a good night's sleep before being presentable. But School Reunion sort of fits...
... or I could be completely off my rocker, of course. We'll see.
