Assorted domesticities

[altariel]

The new fan has arrived, and comes in a gazillion tiny parts. Its squatting downstairs at the back of the house while I lurk upstairs at the front, summoning up my strength for what's going be a battle of wills worthy of The Krypton Factor.

Meanwhile, in the Metal Men poll: A late surge put Portugal ahead (wow, it's like livejournal mimicking life or something), so I expect to see the Doctor save the universe next week by repeatedly diving to the ground and getting the Cyber-Controller sent off.

I watched most of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow over the weekend. So far so good. Then The Sandbaggers season 2 DVD arrived, and everything has stopped for it.

Good luck with the fan. If all else fails, you could just pick up the largest part, and create a breeze by waving it around a bit.

I've been watching The Omega Factor from the DVD rental place. It's scary!

You know, that's not a bad idea...

It is very scary! We finished it up a couple of weeks back - let me know what you think when you've watched the lot.

Being Very Old, I think I saw bits of it the first time round (there are a couple of things that I remember - one of them being the streetlights in the first episode). Some of it gives me the giggles, but then it promptly gets revenge by scaring the hell out of me.

The Omega Factor is still scary then? Good.

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Yes, indeed.

I'm sorry you're still off. I hope you're getting better, though.

Only bits of it? Shame on you ;-)

I was an addict--Sea of Souls is but a pale imitation (albeit with added Scots). The only thing I liked more was Star Cops.

Well, it's possible I saw the whole thing, but I have only one or two memories of it. I think it *may* have been on on the evening that my grandmother always came to visit, which could explain the disruption.

Sea of Souls got better across the run - I wonder if we'll get more? Much Star Cops love in this journal! :-D

I saw it too when it was first shown here -- it was my B7 replacement, being shown in the same timeslot. Then I decided it was too Occult and got rid of my tapes.

I'm really enjoying revisiting it after all this time; I suspect that this kind of thing is going to be my main use for online DVD rental. Next stop, Sapphire and Steel.
