Doctor Who books, BFAudios, and a bit of summer grumbling

I read 'Doctor Who: Dead of Winter' by James Goss.
11, Amy and Rory. I can't figure when precisely it fits in, except they're married.
I liked all the different character voices in the different first person sections, and use of letters in something set in 1783. I liked that the voices were so distinct that sounding like each other was A Clue.
I also like that who Amy fancies is A Clue. Relationship stuff was in there mixed in with the alien stuff properly.
I think I liked the plot. I quite like the ideas. I could guess things in advance but only in the proper fashion.

I had about three hours sleep leading up to 0830 Tuesday morning. Then I decided to stay awake all day so I could stay daylight side up. So I listened to audios all day. Gallifrey made a good start, I've heard the first two of the first season; President Romana is yaay, psychic twin K9s with sibling rivalry are good, Leela undercover as an exotic dancer is, well, *sigh*, but Leela does proper Caring About People and Romana does proper Calculating Politics and it's a good mixture. Braxiatel has a good voice but I seem to be missing some story even though I started at the beginning. I wish to listen to more of these, which is good, cause I have them. The Lost Stories with 7 and Ace and Raine have authentically 80s background music which is driving me mildly nuts. I like Ace and I think I like Raine and I like Brigadier Bambera but I keep stalling in the middle of listening to them so I think they're missing a secret ingredient somewhere. Also one section went walkabout on my little weirdly behaved MP3 player so I only heard it after the rest of the story, and I hadn't noticed. I got bored with it when I heard it at the end. If you can chop 7 minutes out of the story and they all seem boring in the extended edition is not a good thing. That was in Animal. Also, since I listened to them both in college on the day that went a bit wrong and I sat in corridors a lot, the associations have gone a bit funny.

So after all that awake - and enough games of Bejewelled I hurt my wrist, I really must get the other computer fixed or use the trackball in the recliner chair without getting the cord tangled - it was after 2130 so I went to sleep.

For approximately two hours.

It is hot, and stuffy, and I woke up with a nasty sore throat, and somewhere the neighbours are having loud phone conversations, or loud conversations interrupted by ringing phones anyway. And I can't open a window without extensive tidying up. I have this problem every year.

I will try going back to bed but I don't expect it to work.

I so need a *facepalm* icon

My brain, not so good right now. I got up to make some lunch, I got two big bread rolls, I put marg in them, I put marmite in them, I sat down to eat. I am now more than half way through the second one and I just thought 'wait, did I actually do the marmite part?' And no, no I did not.
*facepalm*

... so I now get to decide if it's worth it for half a bread roll.

And I'm not even eating-and-reading really, more like eating and staring into space while trying to twist Doctor Who and Stargate 'verses together in my head.
