My night drive loneliness....

1. Really loving the new Garbage album, 'Strange Little Birds'. Favorite tracks so far: "So We Can Stay Alive", "Amends", and "Teaching Little Fingers to Play". (so, yeah, basically, the last three songs on the album) Additionally, "Sometimes", and "Even Though Our Love is Doomed" are good. And I like the album as a whole, so, kudos to them for being amazing still.

2. I replaced my laptop keyboard, so I have a working 'c' key again, and I'm loving being able to type without going "shit, did I hit the C hard enough?" Also proud of having done it myself.

3. My dad's phone drunk-dialed me (well, he was trying to text and called instead) while I was standing on the Loudest Bus Stop Ever. So I ended up calling him back and then calling my mother. And my mother was talking about work and whilst doing so, had such a southern Missorah accent, I was half-tempted to tell her so (I assume it's because she's subconsciously producing it since she probably picks it up while at the office).

4. I finally have met Mrs. Clarke in the Big Finish audios, and quite like her (although, how many times HAS the Doctor been in WW2? At this point, the answer is "Far too many to have not crossed his own path"). I'm also eagerly anticipating the upcoming Ace-Mel-Seven trilogy (after Ace-Benny-Seven, my Team TARDIS. I blame Virgin's NAs) I do miss Flip, though. I quite liked her.

5. John Rogers has been a tweetdemon all day, which was good, since I had nothing else to read on break/lunch.

I like Constance too. I'm afraid Flip hasn't done anything for me, but I've only heard her in two stories (the one with Sil and Sixie's swansong).

As for the upcoming Doc7/Mel/Ace trilogy, I'm also excited for it. I was thinking about it last month and THEN had the joy of realizing that there was a new 7th Doc story BEFORE the trilogy started. :-) Enjoyed The Two Masters so much, I'm relistening to the Masters trilogy. :-)

Have you been liking the NA audios? Looking forward to Original Sin (the only NA that I immediately reread after reading it the first time through) since Chris & Roz were so fun in Damaged Goods.

I've not been listening to the NA audios, I've been purchasing only so much (I like the concept of paying for what I like, but there's only so much I can splurge on--a season of audios is about three-four times the amount a season of regular TV is for less stories. It's sometimes a bit hard to justify). I'm glad to hear they're good.
