Life: generalities
Made it back from London a good six days ago, for those of you keeping track at home. It was definitely awesome. I went to 12 museums in 6 days, walked around so much I broke one of my boots, tried really hard to buy new boots and got the Thick of It book instead, and met a ton of people. Including ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aralias (on purpose) and x_los (in a random coincidence), who were both really nice and somehow willing to put up with my weird and slightly exhausted self.
I was so weird on that London trip, I don't even know. I'm pretty sure I was high on museums or something. (I am still ALL ABOUT the museums in London - I will spare you my 530 photos of the British Museum, but I haven't decided whether I'll spare you the essay on the erasure of procurement that every museum ever has done. It's sad when there's more visible documentation from your average sideshow than from your average museum.)
In actual fandom news, I did finally manage to listen to Gallifrey Series 4. It was... good? I listened it on my overnight bus to London, and loved the first two episodes, especially the first five minutes of the first episode. The second two, well. First off, I hadn't slept much, and kept having to go back due to having dropped off for 10-20 minutes. I think that probably had an impact on why I didn't like them as much - it wasn't helped by the fact that the plot device was starting to wear thin for me and that Braxiatel was gone AGAIN. My brother and I got so upset the first time he left, they didn't need to pull that for a second time. I have listened to the extras, and I do understand why they did it, but. Oh well. Overall, I did like it a lot! Here's hoping Series Five doesn't take as long.
Non-Gallifrey related, I finished the first draft of my remix, so now I have to actually go back and make it good. Right now it's kind of a mash of two different themes and as many random references as I could cram in, so not much on the sense-making front. But I have a first draft, which is a huge relief. I think I might miss DS9 rewatch tomorrow, which is SAD but not sad enough to make me stay up until four in the morning or whatever to watch with the other group. And I started engulfing White Collar a few days ago and have now seen all but the last episode of the first season - it's a really good thing that most of my classes haven't started yet, there's no way I could do that otherwise.
Okay, I'm going to go buy groceries or do reading for class or something useful. How are other people's lives doing?
