Doctor Who on dreamwidth

I just discovered

http://www.dreamwidth.org/latest?tag=doctor%20who

and now I can read everyone on dreamwidth who tags! How awesome is that? And I can find people to add to the reading list. And there's a ton of other tags to look at too.

Dreamwidth rocks.



I was wondering though: why do people think kiss-o-gram is a euphemism? It's a job. That people actually do. It's different from strippers cause there's no taking the costume off. Also they can bring messages, which strippers are not renowned for.



I wandered off to go read on the Doctor Who tag. Methinks I'll be there for some time.

Signal drowning - ethnic history

I was trying to find out the history of Chinese people in Norwich. But every way I google for it I just get a ton of Chinese restaurants. *facepalm*

"What did the Chinese do for us?" reckons "The Chinese population has been in Norwich for an estimated 50 years" and "Chinese population [...] in the 2001 demographic census was 1,399 - not including several hundred students at UEA" but it also reckons "Across Norfolk the Chinese community is one of the largest ethnic groups behind Indian and Asian."

... Chinese is not Asian? Bzuh?

The article is about (a) Chinese New Year dragons and (b) Chinese restaurants. "meals, mah-jong and of course firecrackers, gongs and dragons." Ah, and waaaaaay down the page it mentions "The Chinese population are involved with a wide variety of occupations, for example there are many Chinese Doctors at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital."

There's a mention of a couple of Chinese Associations which work to raise awareness, so they've probably got more information. I google for them.

... I find first something about illegal immigrants.


So,I guess I'm finding some things about usual portrayals of Chinese people in the media then.

So far, nobody mentioned martial arts. That's the only surprise.

Doctor Who 5x02

I did not squee. Not quite. ( Read more... )

But there were lots of good bits. I liked those bits. I'll probably like the story better when I watch it again.
