World Cup and Doctor Who

[vilakins]

As usual all the World Cup games are on overnight, but we're getting up to watch the last one of each day which comes on at 6:30am here. We're about to be creamed by Slovakia--and they're the easiest in our group--but I'm not staying up another two hours for that. There's a very good highlight program which we're also watching each evening, and that'll do. Just getting there was amazing for us.

I enjoyed the last Doctor Who ep, The Lodger, for the sheer fun including the Doctor scoring (a goal, of course). The plot about the stranded spaceship made no sense, and a lot of people died, but the Doctor living in a flat was great comedy, and Craig was lovely. And the Doctor speaks cat! I knew there had to be a cat when I saw the cat door. But bonus points for topical soccer. :-D

A tie! And not a 0-0 tie either--who'd a thunk it!! I suppose they'll rest on their laurels now :)

Lodger was a ton of fun--what do regular blokes do? And speaking cat is definitely a plus.

I hope not: the other two teams will be even tougher.

I was a bit worried about the cat, but curiosity didn't kill it. I'll have to watch that and the Vincent ep again. Pity about the high death count though. It didn't really fit with the mood, and no one mentioned lots of missing locals.

Yay, one of my icons!

Perhaps because the starship needed for a pilot, someone who wanted to leave, it was choosing loners and/or people who'd been talking a lot about "getting out of this hellhole", and so while some might get reported missing, it wasn't enough to create a sense of mystery and fear?

I figured since we sometimes talk on Wolfma's page, have a few fandoms in common, and got on a big cultural tangent, it would probably make sense for me to friend you. :)

Yes, it could have chosen people by their desire to leave or change their lives. It's still odd though that 17 (or however many it was) people missing didn't make for a huge panic.

Excellent! I've friended you back. I see we have more in common: I do bead work too, and also write--in fact I should be writing my Multiverse stories--and am looking for permanent work too.
