Awake. Found the Doctor Who reading list.

[beccaelizabeth]

I had the Dr Who papers signed by Sylvester McCoy. Win.

So that plus http://beccaelizabeth.livejournal.com/2353133.html#comments is a good start on a reading list for more writing about Doctor Who.


I'll need a bit of bibliography all about what theory I'm applying and some general TV books and suchlike. Stuff about gender if I'm writing about gender. Which seems likely. http://beccaelizabeth.dreamwidth.org/2376832.html Also race. Also other stuff.

One or at most two texts... I was thinking that if I concentrate on stuff newer than 2008 I'll be lucky to find specific essay type stuff about it. If I pick one from classic and one from new then I can do comparing and contrasting. And lots of rewatching. I'll want a multi companion full TARDIS to go with the Ponds. One of the 5 era. With Turlough. And stuff to write about with race and gender. And possibly essays about it somewhere.

Right. I should be getting dressed and catching the bus to college and all that stuff.
I really don't want to be awake yet. If I've had 3 hours sleep I'll be surprised.
The chances of me not only going to college all morning but also getting to the pub this evening are basically nil, unless I get some sleep in the afternoon and get the bus extra times today.

Bus to catch goes at 0735, I should leave here no later than 0715, I have 25 minutes to get dressed and out of here.
I'd say eat breakfast too but I'm still burping soup from last night. Blergh.

Loved your old post about standing in line...would you believe I stood in line for three or four hours (I lost track after a while) to get Stephen Fry's autograph on his new book?

Not for me, for my girlfriend, who is a hardcore fan: JEEVES AND WOOSTER, A BIT OF FRY AND LAURIE, GOSFORD PARK, you name it, she's probably seen it. She even went to see SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS.

Now she is the proud owner of a copy of THE FRY CHRONICLES, with the words, "To Rachel, with love, from Stephen" on the flyleaf, and I have been officially proclaimed the Best Girlfriend Ever.

It had been a long day already (I'm a teacher) and I was very very very tired and had only an hour to eat noodles and fall asleep before getting up again to face another long day. Still totally worth it. Sometimes, the best things in life require tiredness and a lot of standing and patiently waiting.
