Paul - Torchwood Children of Earth blew me away - I've been meaning to post about it for a while now but haven't got around to it yet. Am also nervous of posting spoilers, to be honest. Hopefully I'll get something written about it before I get enveloped by MIFF at the end of the week...

A little vegetable on the lapel might lift it a little me thinks.

I hope there is no Doctor romancing though, she is gorgeous. When I saw a picture of them together I thought cute couple, and then oh dear new companion, I hope there is no TARDIS loving. I wasnt impressed when they created the second Doctor in S4 so Rose could have a happy ending. Thumbs down to TARDIS loving.

Torchwood - dont worry about spoilers, tell us what you think abuot CoE.

Why someone like Captn J didnt have a backup hub had me scratching my head though.

I wonder if they will do another series in a few years post Gwen baby, it might be interesting to see her re-build Torchwood without Jack.

*facepalm* he looks like a twelve year-old trying to be a 22 year-old geeky professor.

Seriously, they both look like kids though, ridiculous. He's 26, he's already the youngest doctor ever, don't make it worse by making him a hormonal tween!

Idk, maybe his look will grow on me, after all when first saw Christopher Eccelesten I went o.O ew. And when David Tennant was revealed as the almighty X I also went "O.O NO!! Ew! Bring bake Chris! That's so wrong!" So who knows maybe in a short time I'll be saying the same things about Matt Smith's replacement. But boots with a tweed jacket? say wha-? Converse+Suit=New and catchy, Celery+Suit=70's and Freaky, Tweed JacketxBowtie+BOOTS= No fashion sense at all.

I do have to say, he has some very big shoes to fill. I think David Tennant will always be "my doctor"

Doing the Beats: Kerouac, sexuality and On the Road

Image
The long-awaited film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s ground-breaking novel presents the perfect opportunity to re-examine the lives of the Beat Generation, writes Richard Watts. It’s not hyperbole to say that the Beat Generation – a small coterie of writers who met up in New York City in the spring of 1944 – changed the world. Without their individual quests for personal freedoms – a quest for sex and drugs before there was rock and roll; a quest which spawned the western world’s first counter-culture, the beatniks – the hippy movement of the Sixties would never have happened, and punk would have been a quiet snarl rather than a global reaction. Of all the Beat Generation writers, Jack Kerouac, author of the autobiographical beatnik bible, On the Road , is unequivocally the most famous. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1922, to working class French-Canadian parents, Kerouac aspired to be a writer from a young age, though he was also a keen football player. Indeed, it ...

The Hard Life of an Absintheur

Image
Finished work last night and went out for a quick Vietnamese meal in the city before embarking on a brief absinthe tour of two Melbourne bars, The Toff in Town and Cookie , which helpfully are in the same building as one another. (As an aside, the links above are to Age reviews of the bars; and really, they should take their photos at night, as the daylight photos on the paper's website are utterly lacking in atmosphere). The Toff had a very limited range of brands on offer; only four, one of which was the utterly vile Green Fairy brand, which all good absintheurs should avoid like the plague. The brand I eventually chose, which I hadn't tried before, was Jacques Senaux Blue , from Spain (80% proof). Because I always drink my absinthe with sugar and water in the traditional fashion (although most places insist on setting the sugar alight, which is flamboyant, whereas actually the water should be slowly dripped onto the sugar until it dissolves - incidentally, the only plac...
