Unhappily, due to some new constraints on my internet access from my house, I won't be around much for the next month and a half.

I'll be updating far less, maybe as little as once a week. And I won't be able to follow my friends list.

If you have anything to tell me, show me, send me, or talk to me about, please LEAVE A COMMENT or EMAIL me (see userinfo). Do not put it in your own journal, because I'll probably miss it entirely.

Thankfully the last episode of Doctor Who aired BEFORE this happened, so I've at least gotten to download that.

Anyway, if you don't see evidence of me for a week or more, don't wonder about it. But I'll try to update at least once a week.

Ack, that's horrible. *waves* I'll miss seeing your updates on my flist daily. D:

(Think of all the anime-watching you'll get done, thou'! ^_^)

I know! It's amazing-- I've got all of Haibane Renmei, Gungrave, Last Exile, Elfen Lied, Naussica of the Valley of the Wind, and Azumanga Daio lined up for me to see. I don't know if I can even finish that in a month.

I'm going to miss reading your posts for a month too-- all the yummy FMA stuff. ::cries for lack of FMA dub and lack of FMA on flist for a whole month::

I'll miss you. :(

Dude, I'm not DYING. I'll just be posting much less until August or so. ::huggles:: but thank you.

Will miss you! Noticed you had been bitten by the Ten/Rose!Fic bug, too, and was going to post some links to the sites I've found on Ten's "Estuary English" (I thought he was using RP at first!) accent & what different slang he might use, compared to Nine's Northerner usage; want me to send those links to you, instead?

Also, should I send Genesis of the Daleks? Will you be able to get them, or should I wait? Sorry it's taken me a while, had assignments to finish and connectivity problems the last couple days.

Definitely send me cool links! Thanks. I have eough access that I can browse stuff like that and save it for later. I had thoughts of Ten/Rose but it's having difficult turning into any actual written words in my mind.

You should probably hold off on Genesis, though it saddens me. I had downloaded the Confidential #13, and they had a clip from that episode and I was all o.O with my eyes. Have you watched that? You should download the last Dr. Who Confidential, because it's got writer/cast/producer commentary, and let me tell you there is nothing quite as delightful as finding out that the people who make the show are as shippy, if not MORE shippy, as you are. Makes me want to die with curiosity about next season.

Anyway, I likely won't be able to download any large files for a while.

So, what is this Estuary English, anyway? Wikipedia explains!:

Okay, so it's sort of a Cockney Lite, but what slang words is Ten gonna use, dude? A Dictionary of Slang, Naughty & Otherwise:

Okay, but what I really want is to read dry, boring, detailed academic papers on it, because I take my fanfic serious like WHOA. UCL Department of Phonetics & Linguistics resources on Esuary English:
http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/estuary/home.htm

I spent most of my time at the first two sites. The last one looks too much like work. ;)

Well, it has some o.O moments, but some good as well; were they showing a bad clip intentionally? Like, as an example of UnSpecial Effects of Eras Gone By?

Oh! That does sound encouraging. Going off to get it. Thanks. :)

'Kay. When you have access again, I can send you only the first 23 minute long episode of the Genesis of the Daleks arc. It has some good Doctor stuff in it, but it also has some bad effects, so you'd probably be able to use it as a test to predict whether you'd enjoy the rest of the eps.

Linksies!

o.O just means I'm fascinated/surprised/WTFed/curious and my eyes are going all roundish. It's not a bad thing. The clip they had was of some old guy telling the Doctor his new job is to prevent the creation of the Daleks.

Oh! I'd read it as a "Gigantic. papermache. clam. Wtf?" rounding of the eyes.

Timelord sighting! You just saw your first(?) non-Doctor TimeLord!

When I first realized what the old guy was, I swear, I did a little bounce. I was like, "Whoa! Dude, you're extinct. And exotic. And it's so weird to be seeing you, 'cause you and everybody else on Gallifrey is going to DIE. Horribly."

Then I noticed what a manipulative, arrogant fellow the old guy was, which made me realize that those traits of the Doctor might be typical of Gallifreyans in general. And it was cute to have somebody treat the Doctor like he's a rebelious kid. And he acts like one, too, all "Gah! You're so stuffy. And uncool! All I want is freedom, travel, the open road! Stop interfering in my life, Grand-uncle Lesterrus!"

Good scene. :)

Hm... glad I took a class in Linguistics, cause I actually know what a "glottal stop" is.

Linguistics is very cool. They've got symbols for every sound the human voice can make, apparently. What a neat idea!

I hope those episodes of Monster made it to you!

We'll miss you!

I believe so. Yesterday I got a package in the mail that was full of unlabelled CDs. I thought "Unlabelled...either these are montser episodes, or someone thinks I need a lot of porn."

I haven't checked it yet, but I'm pretty sure it's Monster. :)

Thanks again for those, by the way. :) And i'll miss yuo guys too. But I'll be back in knee-deep again in a month or so-- it won't be too long.

I totally meant to label them but I was in a rush. This is me - Excessive Procrastination.

Enjoy the series! I hope all of those discs work. I double-checked them myself, but you never know.
