My laptop is making little eeeee noises that I fear do not bode well.
My desktop computer cannot currently contact the internet.

I win at Monday
I did the Monday jobs
and then I did additional things that involve going Outside and talking to humans including bank humans.
I like my bank, they're nice and they do like you ask them to before they try and sell you stuff.
It is funny trying to be in queues when everyone is being very British about it. Like, oh are you in the queue? The sitting down queue? I will totally respect your place in the queue! But I was sitting down. No no, it's fine. But I might take a long time? I don't know how long it will take! All after you after you.
And then the manager bloke turned up from out the back and asked to help, so I took my many bits of paper back into the offices. Which is quieter, hence easier to hear, but more intimidating.
I got all the pieces of paper I needed though. And also sorted out which bank things belong to actual current accounts. Which is important.
I now have a neat stack of all the bits of paper I have been asked to bring to a meeting.
That took two photocopy places (technical difficulties) and one bank.
I win.
It was also quite heavy. It's surprising how heavy paperwork gets. I like my backpack.
Now it is 5pm and all done for the day.

I'm listening to Doctor Who, 8 and Charley some more.
I am really, really bored.
Story once again needs trigger warnings for suicide (guest character AND The Doctor), calls back to C'rizz murdering his partner, and involves extensive mind control of, among other people, The Doctor.
Also a lot of Dalek voices.
I'm not sure how much sense it makes but I'm really bored of all the parts and just blah about the whole thing.
C'rizz just had a moment of very violent awesome being all 'no destiny'. but I can't care about C'rizz very much on account of him only having a personality when it's killing people.
A guest character just asked of the TARDIS 'how does he keep it clean'. That is indeed a good question. Especially given that there's like a small planet inside there.

This is going on the don't bother pile.
Or possibly the wish they hadn't bothered pile.

This story talked about the origins of evil. It mentioned the most evil beings in the universe, created by a 'bitter cripple'. That was what they thought was important to mention. Not the whole planet going through generations of war that twisted them up with hate until they aimed Davros at the problem of destruction and he thought the Dalek mutant was their only chance of survival. Nothing so systemic. He's a 'bitter cripple', linking his disability to his creation of evil.
I kind of want to slap someone.
I know this is the subtext really very often with Doctor Who and disability, but I can hate it just as much every single time.
Most of the story was something with a serial killer and some unspoiled natives being mind controlled.
... yes, theme, it has it.
Not very interesting, just not much objectionable.

Crystal Palace exhibition, very shiny.
... the first episode has finished and I actually like this? It's just a story, with lots of running around and mistaken identity and accidental famous people. That seems the proper shape.
... part 2 starts with ( Read more... )
I don't really know what to think about that one on the whole. Like two thirds of the story is a lot of running around and mistaken identity and impersonating people, and then there's a nasty bit of ablist horror in the other third. I think I dislike it rather a lot, in part because if it's trying to be a light hearted adventure then that's what it thinks the bit in the freakshow was too, and that's just really nasty.
