The BBC website has lots of bits for download that were not in the episodes or confidentials. But lacks mostly bits that were on the TV.
I actually find that a bit annoying. I mean I get what they're aiming for, added value, website to be something that TV can't give you, but... Is a bit hard to get the whole story. I mean you have to hunt for things, and realise that the things with similar sounding labels to things you've already seen are not the same as on TV.
And also, the website stuff is, mostly, a bit lame. Because TV gets the best bits. Which I understand, they are a TV channel.
But it just ends up a bit annoying. You have to hunt, and then mostly its rubbish.

Also, realplayer. Nasty squishy sound, tiny pictures. Quick download, yeah, but where's the high quality option?


So anyways, not brilliant yet.



I'm going to shop for a new TV soon. I feel vaguely like I should wait until computer=TV+phone+everythingelse, but it has been theoretically possible to get my computer plugged in to my TV for years and I just never got around to figuring out how.

And also, my TV goes green and purple down the sides. Which is not helpful.

So a new TV I shall buy.

What is the logic in putting DW Confidential first?
I mean, it makes no sense that way!
Its about the thing that they haven't shown yet
OR the thing that was seen yesterday, Confidential included, if people could get the channel its on ie the channel it is on again today.
So they're either showing nonsense full of spoilers
or... I don't even know.
Its just daft.

I had a plot bunny that is making me cry
the good way, like stories are supposed to
but I can't write it until I've done another 24 stories first!
Or at least another 20. Those 20 it won't make sense without, the other 4 are so it goes in the right place in the imaginary season.
Is very frustrating.
Even if I sit down and write solidly and ignore all college related necessary words it will take a very long time to write 24 stories.
I might end up not making this story at all. Which would be annoying. Because I think it could be good.



Is times like this I again compare why I want to go to college with what I really want to be doing. I like to study, get brain food, but I think of it primarily as a means of making better stories. But then I'm too tired to *make* stories. And that doesn't work at all. And I can't say I'll make stories after I get a degree, it will take me six years on current plan and possibly longer, and who knows where anything will be by then?

So I need to get better at sitting down and making stories.
And also get less tired.
