A Book of Tongues: THUD

Words added: 769. Chapter thus far: 6,500+. Whole chapter: ...over 9,000. Agh! Though I know at least 1,000 of that is notes which will be consolidated, cut and fall by the wayside, which should make me feel better. Man, what the hell. Am I simply incapable of doing anything quickly anymore? Was I ever?

This brief freak-out brought to you by the numeral 12 (for midnight, which it is now officially after) and the substance snot (as in what's currently making me want to shoot myself in the head, just to release the pressure). I'm sure I'll feel better in the morning, once I've dragged Cal to school and my own ass home again...

In other news, I watched my first official Torchwood episode (besides Day Five of Children of Earth, that is). "Greeks Bearing Gifts", Season One. Are they all like that?

I like Tosh, but I didn't think this episode really did her justice, and the fact that "Mary" turned out to be actually evil and not just alien I thought was a bit of a cop out.

Of the first season, I really liked "Small Worlds", "They Keep Killing Suzy", and "Ghost Machine". For Newton's sake don't watch "Cyberwoman", easily the worst episode of TW ever.

Actually, "Cyberwoman" is one of the worst hours of TV ever.

I've heard that, and reading the Wikipedia synopsis certainly didn't disabuse me of that impression.
