Book and audio

Yesterday and today I have been reading
Interim Errantry 2: On Ordeal by Diane Duane
the paper copy from Amazon, since it turns out I'm not much for reading the ebooks, since I still have to make the ebook reader go somehow.

paper never needs new software or loses a cable.

There are four (4) stories in it about 4 wizards first errantry, their Ordeal, where they make big choices and see what magic can do. All of them are very well written and fun and have a good heart, even the one about aliens that eat others of their own kind. Which takes some work. And I loved the Owl story at the end.



When I finished reading that and slept I listened to an audio

Torchwood: Curios

which in some ways managed to be the least disturbing story about Bilis thus far but still had some plenty dark corners. I liked it.

And I liked the chatty bit at the end. Comparing acting technique between Murray Melvin, 89 according to wiki, and a young lady who said she was straight out of acting school. Both do their homework.

... I'd vaguely imagined just sort of turning up and reading it out, but I can see how knowing what you're doing makes it better...



Good stories all.

BFA Torchwood 55 The Great Sontaran War

Gareth David Lloyd and Dan Starkey
in a caravan park.

I think if I review this one with any details in I will make it less funny. And it is very funny. Because Sontarans make perfect sense, but they make sense at their very own angle to the world, so when you throw them at very ordinary things it is excellent.

Also Ianto has a little bit talking about how he'd like to spend more time with his nephews, which is sweet. But then canon makes it sad.

But mostly it is a fun adventure.

:D

(no subject)

I tried sleeping but I woke up from bad dreams of

Daleks vs Dean Winchester.



Now I can't figure out who was out of their league
or if there's just a big out of context problem
possibly for both of them.
