time lords in radio times covers conspiracy

the other week was the Doctor and this week it's the Master, who's next Jenny and her great grandmum or even Rassilon himself?

Day of the Moon

an interesting conclusion in that it leaves many questions deliberetly unanswered and makes a point of saying its leaving them unanswered on purpose.  Is that a regenerated Jenny?  What were the Silence really doing?  Why was River so freaked out about a kiss?

Friday 29 April 2011

finished the first draft of my latest book

The Disciples of St Judas is a modest book, although told as a short story collection they form an overall story about the group and its members from the initial idea to the coming war with The Lodge of the Damned, a rival organisation (and also the working title for the idea of a possible sequel)

Finished Return

a good day well spent :)  I think I might read a book tonight, done enough DVD watching for today :)

half way through

Return of the King...

finished watching The Two Towers

The Return of the King soon :)

watched The Fellowship of the Ring

now watching The Two Towers :)

Thursday 28 April 2011

Rock & Chips

Well that was actually rather good :)  A nice open end to the series, pity there almost certainly won't be any more eps, unless some scripts have been written already of course

2nd ever lulu payment

after paying the standard US tax rate I got a couple of pennies to rub together, glad for the cash, I just hope its not another 3 years until the next payment ;)

reorganising my MP3's

on my phone and my player

Wednesday 27 April 2011

ordered season 2 of Survivors

never saw it the 1st time round and HMV wanted £30 for it, Amazon only wanted £10

watched Future Sailors

last night, the 2nd Boosh live DVD :) it's all good fun :)

Monday 25 April 2011

new idea for a book

to work on after I finish The Disciples of St. Judas, its about human nature, good and evil, order and chaos, the working title is Archetype

might get blake's 7 audios

when I get paid this week

shopping

got some food in for the front of the week

wow

did today's noblegarden daily quest

most of the washing up done

well its done and out of the way for the rest of the day :)

Sunday 24 April 2011

quiet day

did my washing, played WoW, had a nice tea, watched Time Team, played more WoW and did 1/3 of the washing up

The Impossible Astronaut - With Spoliers

OMG!!!!!  What an episode, what a start to the show!  The Doctor's dead, well his 200 year older self is and no-one can tell him they saw it happen.  Then theres the mysterious new baddies of the year, not really scary, they're just annoying really, very pale imitations of the Shadows from Babylon 5 in my view.  The painting and tunnelling scenes were fun though and Nixon is always good value for money, although I'm still waiting for him to say arrroooo like he does in Futurama ;)

Saturday 23 April 2011

watched Who pt 3

The Hungry Earth
Cold Blood
Vincent and the Doctor
The Lodger
The Pandorica Opens
The Big Bang
A Christmas Carol
The Death of the Doctor pts 1 & 2
Space & Time
The Impossible Astronaut Prequel


bring on tonight's episode...

cuppa

having a nice cuppa this morning

Friday 22 April 2011

vulnerable

last week someone had a go at my shed, well last night they were back and this time they succeeded :(  they took my lawnmower and a bottle of weed killer, an odd combination I know, but still it means there's no point keeping anything in my shed anymore expect a few things for weeding my garden but the main thing is the feeling of vulnerability and violation that someone would not just try once but twice to steal from me, its not a nice feeling especially after 5 years of feeling safe and secure where I live.

nice quiet indoors sort of day today

at least that's the plan, just chill and ill :)

quite a boring dream last night

just dreamed that I had a boob job and I kept knocking things over with them because they were so big and I was so uncoordinated at first until I learned to compensate and then I was fine :)

under 36 hours to new Who

will my marathon rewatching of all Matt Smiths stories be completed b4 then, and if so will I be put off and not want to watch another episode?

nice breakfast

2 small croissants and a cup of coffee

watched more Doctor Who

Flesh and Stone + plus extra TARDIS scene
The Vampires of Venice
Amy's Choice

Thursday 21 April 2011

watched Doctor Who

The Eleventh Hour + Extra Scene
The Beast Below
Victory of the Daleks
The Time of Angels

morning world

I want a nice quiet day today, thank you :)

Wednesday 20 April 2011

Doctor Who season 5 boxset

got it for £35 from HMV which is atm cheaper than amazon :)

watched School Reunion last night

David Tennant looked so young too, the show really aged him between his first season and The End of Time :(

Tuesday 19 April 2011

Lis Sladen RIP

she is best known to the UK as Sarah Jane Smith, the savvy journalist companion of the 3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th Doctors

home again

its very warm today!  had a nice walk into town at lunchtime, then had a meeting and now I'm just chilling out and enjoying my lazy day :)

wearing my black dress today

the same one I wore for the march on the 26th March (it's been washed since then, twice)

listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers

Californication, Dani California & Snow ((Hey Oh))

odd dream

I dreamed I won a wet t-shirt competition!

Monday 18 April 2011

1/2 day tomorrow :)

although I have a meeting to go to in the afternoon

home again

an early night for me I think, after a late tea :)

cold morning

lets hope it gets warmer during the day :)

Sunday 17 April 2011

watching Going Postal

good old Terry, he writes some good stories and other people make good telly out of them :)

I'm in the mood for some Trek

just a episode or two, maybe a movie, just to Trek up the evening

nice quiet day

washing done, need to make sarnies up for next week & freeze them

first load of washing in the machine

must have a nice refreshing shower soon to get me ready for the day :)

another sunny day

must start doing my housework soon though...

Saturday 16 April 2011

gonna be a sunny day today :)

almost a pity to be in the office working, but never mind...

Friday 15 April 2011

the drugs do work

my breasts look really big now I don't need to wear my falsies anymore to look like I have boobs :)

listening to some cool songs this evening

later on I'll watch Jon Pertwee's final story as the Doctor

got a later bus tonight :)

cos I couldn't find the sugar in Tesco's without asking the lady there, so there was no stinky bus tramp to offend me with his inability to grasp the concept of hygiene

6am

an hour earlier than I need to be up this week, but i gets me in readiness for next week

Thursday 14 April 2011

listening to Doctor Who

Thin Ice featuring Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor

someone's had a go at my shed :(

they've tried to force the lock apparently but it held, dunno what they were after, the lawn mower, the petrol for it or maybe the bottles of weed killers

stinky bus tramp on the bus again :(

he didn't sit behind me luckily, and I sprayed myself with some pretty deoderant too to counter his unwashed ripocity.

Wednesday 13 April 2011

cheese stuffed mushrooms for tea

my speciality it seems, or at least my fave meal atm :)  it's a nice, simple, meal to make and just as easy to eat :)

stuck behind a stinky bus tramp tonight :(

I don't think he'd ever had a wash, ever, it was acrid, I think I have chemical burns inside my throat off him!

Tuesday 12 April 2011

got heart burn

so no sleep for me I lost my gaviscom tablets :(

I just want to go to sleep and wake up in time for Doctor Who

there's nothing else for me in between now and then :(

I hate my job

it's complete rubbish

another sunny day

and I'll be stuck inside an office that insists on having the heating on!

Tails of the Wolf e-book

is available to buy now

http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/tails-of-the-wolf---e-book-edition/15433486

back to work

after a nice long & relaxing 4 day weekend :)

Monday 11 April 2011

TGoW3 is a go!

http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/the-gods-of-war---volume-3/15433059

yay, that's the trilogy done :)

still editing

yep, getting there though

cut the grass

got a face full of grass dust into the bargain though :( that'll set my allergy off soon no doubt :( when I was a kid it'd have been pretty much instant but over the years I have developed a tolerence to grass and grass dust.

afternoon getting out ok

it was really dim & dull this morning :(

on editing TGoW3

just sorting out the spacing and the layout of the text to get it looking good for an e-reader, I'm following the same methedology of text sizing and spacing as my other e-books, as they work fine on my Kindle :)

my new bra arrived

wearing it now, it fits ok, its good to feel my real boobs instead of those chicken fillets, of course it's good to have boobs to fit into a bra, even if they're currently small compared to what I can expect to develop, hopefully, I'm starting to get the breast growth tingle in them so hopefully there'll be a need to go up a cup size by the end of the year :)

got the new Foo Fighters MP3 album

only £3.99 from amazon :)

had lunch

a yummy cheese sarnie with chili ketchup

managed to pay by dialling a robot

she wasn't as chatty as Alice or as nice as Trudiode or as klepto as Violet so I think it went ok, but not a method I'd like to use again any time soon

can't seem to pay my council tax

finally got them to get my name and gender right, now they won't take my money off me

shopped up

got some scran in for the week, need to make sarnies up later to freeze for work, so I'm not spending a fortune of shop bought all the time

showered & dressed

now to put my warpaint on and find some shoes to complete my outfit for today :)

about to start editing TGoW3

it'll be the technically most challenging book because it's the most diverse volume in the saga as I wanted to give the original Book 10 a fragmentry feel to it, so it felt like a collection of bits of stories all jumbled together into one large mass of text, I'm not sure how that's going to work compared to the really sleek text of the original Book 8 which was a really tight and slick 2nd half of a 2 part novel, but we shall see...

The Gods of War - Volume 2

http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/the-gods-of-war---volume-2/15392819

The second volume in the epic Gods of War saga comes to e-book with an all new edit to make it easier to read, especially on a Kindle. See Luke, Cindy, Amber and Pandora battle evil in its many guises alongside the gods pledged to protect humanity. See the werewolf uprising and its brutal put-down, as well as the opening gambit of Averruncus' plan to sieze control of the heavens and the earth.

The Gods of War - Volume 1

http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/the-gods-of-war---volume-1/15392799

Volume 1 of my epic 3 volume saga, it's a bit bizarre, bit weird, it mixes horror, sci-fi and fantasy in a modern suburban setting, kind of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Lord of the Rings meets The Terminator...

on editing e-books

I'm hoping to get 2 published today :)

internet wonky again

it's all a bit surreal

morning world

I'm awake and I have a cuppa :)

Sunday 10 April 2011

internet weird again

it kept cutting out before, it's still a bit stop/start atm

sorting out my Kindle

I had really big generic collections, I've broken them up into smaller collections to make them more navigatable :)

Time Team was good

this week, quite enjoyed it on the whole, looking forward to the special this Thursday (if I remember to watch it that is)

washing up

washed my cutlery and some of the mugs up :)

slow internet this morning

seems to be working now though

listening to Vale Decem

it's the saddest music ever because it's the music that plays whenthe 10th Doctor regenerates

Saturday 9 April 2011

watching The Day Today

watched the first 2 eps, it's kind of funny, hoping it'll get funnier though

I need more storage room for my clothes

I don't have the room for it but I'd like another wardrobe for my blouses, skirts and dresses and another set of drawers for my tops & jeans, my current drawers are half taken up with my lingerie (my drawers are full of drawers ;))

listening to Slayer

their latest CD, World Painted Blood :)

sunlight fail

I ran out of useable sunlight to dry my duvet sheet so it's on the radiator while the other bedding is in the dryer getting rizzed :)

last load of washin in now

it's good when I can get it all done in one day, as it leaves the rest of the weekend for the rest of the housework :)

on editing my next e-book

The Gods of War - Volume 1, it's the same as the paperback version but the text needs a little massaging to make it work well on my kindle

listening to Oasis

their first cd, back when they were good :)

need a cuppa

time for my 13:23h cup of coffee :)

3rd load of washing in the machine

doing all my dark clothing now, and playing WoW while I wait for them to finish

is it possible to own too many pink clothes

it seems that whenever I sort my waship up into groups the pink pile is always the largest, I'm not complaining as pink is my favourite colour but I don't want people to think that I wear it just to convince people I'm a woman, I wear it to express my femininity yes but also I do like the colour and how it suits my figure and my hair and eyes, maybe I'm just having an existential crisis?

first load of washing in the machine

want to get an early start on things the washing today so I can get it out on the line to dry, I don't mind putting my skirts and blouses and dresses on the line, but I don't like the idea of putting my bras, knickers and tights out on the line

watched HP movie

now watching the extras, there's some interesting stuff on it but not what I'd like, a trailer for part 2...

Friday 8 April 2011

going to watch HP now

first the movie and then the extras :)

is back after a nice drive to the countryside and back again

it was a nice drive out on a nice spring evening, I had the windows down and some loud thrash metal tunes blasting out :)  I really do enjoy a nice drive, it can be really relaxing as all I think about is my car and the road, it gives me a break from my own inner monologue :)

has worked out how to open two pages automatically when she starts her web browser up

it's all in the options menu basically, now I get google search engine and this blog to load up every time, so I can't forget to blog...

has had her tea

cheese & onion sandwiches :)  Now to go out for another drive in the car :)

might wear my new dress tomorrow :)

it's got a shorter hemline to any of my other dresses, I wanted something a little sexy and daring to wear now that spring is here and I won't freeze my bum off if I don't wear jeans and thermal knickers

is back home after attending an LGBT networking event

I wondered if I'd learn anything, I think I learned too much in a way as it's going to take some time to mentally digest everything that I learned and see what things seem most urgent to consider, as a lesbian and a transwoman I feel there's not a whole lot of services out there for myself and I do want to do something about that.  I want to kind of build up a really strong voice of the LGBT community where I live and help educate those who don't know what the needs of the LGBT community are, which in many ways are the same needs that every  person has, I want to be able to see my GP, I want to get a train or a bus, I want to shop and save and contribute to society as an individual and as part of a greater society.

postie goodness

not only has Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 turned up in the post but so has The Day Today :)


listening to The Hounds of Artemis

a Doctor Who audio book read by Matt Smith :)

I'm hoping Harry & co arrive today in the post

doubt they will but I am looking forward to rewatching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1, as the first film made the sucky part of the book look good and actually work as a storyline because the book version really doesn't.

'The Raithaduine Saga' is available to buy as an e-book

'The Raithaduine Saga' combines my very first full length novel 'Refugees of the Raithaduine' with its follow up 'Orphans of the Raithaduine' into one big action adventure sci-fi comedy romp.  There's currently a 5% discount on the price so it's good value for money.  The PDF format allows it to work on all current e-book reader, including the Kindle (which I'm re-reading and reliving it on atm) so you can save nearly £18 by getting the e-book version rather than the hardback version :)

I (still) love being a woman

It's just great to have my gender identity right, to simply be a woman and be treated and accepted as a woman, my life is better now that I've sorted out what was a fundamental error in who I was, it's so right now that I can be myself and face life head on and not hide away.

bought a new bra

it's black and sexy and is for wearing around the house without my chicken fillets so I get the proper size fit for my boobs until they start growing with the hormonal goodness

watched Big Train last night

it was ok, but not as good as the hype said it was, I like my surreal comedy to be incredibly surreal, show jumpers fighting fires was as close as it got for me

True Blood

can't wait for season 4 to start, can't wait for season 3 to be released on DVD even more, it should have been released at Christmas imo, at least I have a bottle of Tru Blood to keep me company while I think of Pam and Hadley and Sookie...

Has it really been almost a fortnight?

Since I was in London giving my little plastic thing a good blow?  I still have my protest whistle somewhere, it'll come in handy until we can get a real government in charge of the nation instead of the (alleged) thieves and liars we have right now.




On the good drugs at last

Finally got my real anbd genuine prescription for feminising hormones :)  I did self medicate years ago to desperatley get some small boobage but now I'm on the real deal to give me the soft womanly curves that nature didn't :)  Can's wait until I have my own bust & bum without having to rely on padding to do it for me.

Spring, the time to wear skirts :)

Now that evil cold winter has gone with all its leg chilling nastiness it's now the perfect weather to wear skirts again and show off my pins, my best feature by far :)

New Who to look forward to

I'm really looking forward to Matt Smith's 2nd year as the Doctor, I'm hoping that he really builds and enhances on his amazing first year, the Christmas Special was a little under whealming so I'm hoping they've learned from their mistakes and I almost hope they do an anti-Christmas Christmas special this year because last year really overdid the Christmas thing and now I hate Christmas specials

Got a Kindle last month

it's great, amazon have a lot fo free books too, so I have some books to read :)

So today I have a day off

I'm just easing myself gently into the day this morning, haven't even had a cuppa yet, I'm that relaxed

I'm back

Just remembered that I have a blog, shame mode, been nearly 10 months since I posted, so there's quite a lot to go over, which I won't bore you to death with because most of it's boring stuff
