Lunch Break Papers

Reading about the history of transport in Australia while listening to Respighi's works puts one in a peculiar headspace. Not a bad one, mind, just very very strange. And now I know more about the development of Australia's railways than I ever wanted to. But I have the feeling it will be useful knowledge one day. Fingers crossed.
Besides, Respighi is wonderful music. Ah, Fontane di Roma...

And then I went and relaxed by making my first animated lj icon, of a particularly squeeful scene in the last Torchwood episode which stuck in my mind, and which you can see behind the spoiler cut. The icon, not the scene or my mind.
( this one )

Oh, and one more thing... Mental Suicide Bombings? *rab* :-D

Right, so it's two in the morning, I can't sleep, there's no-one around to talk to, and there's really nothing else I can come up with here at the moment than some Torchwood thoughts.
( cut for those who're not interested or don't want spoilers )

Do I like Torchwood? Oh yeah. Am I looking forward to seeing the next episodes? Absolutely. Will I swallow everything the writers dish up without commenting on its taste? Hell no.
