Drive by post...

Had a lovely day today, meeting up with an old friend.

And then when I got home, my copy of 101 Claras To See had arrived and it's very shiny and beautiful.

(I barely dare look at my essays, I have a feeling I'll cringe horribly. But everything else is gorgeous.)

Let me know what it's like (I didn't have the money for a copy).

[elisi]

I was lucky to that I got a copy for contributing - it really was very expensive!!

It's very pretty, A4, and looks like Clara's book, I'll give more info if I read it properly, but it looks good. :)

Ooooo, shiny!

I'd totally forgotten about that thing . . .

[elisi]

Me too!

And then, there it was, all Shiny and Clara-y.

How many essays did you end up writing? Four?

[elisi]

Aye... /o\

ETA: Are you around?

ETA2: Any chance of you watching Dirk Gently? (See icon - 'tis rubbish, but I'll make a better one). I think I described it to Owls as Ne on drugs.

Also finished Stranger Things. Not that I have anything to say, but...

[promethia_tenk]

Around, but not with a lot of brain power to spare. The semester here starts on the 11th (a whole month before it started in the old place) so we're basically straight into the fire.

Dirk Gently: possibly. What's it about?

Stranger Things is . . . oddly hard to have anything to say about.

I hear ya. I just wondered, because you vanished - I presumed you were OK, but it's nice to get confirmation. Good luck with work.

Dirk Gently: possibly. What's it about?
Um. Here are two trailers (the 2nd one more spoilery than the first, although I don't think that bothers you the way it does me?)

Based on the books by Douglas Adams, but wildly it's own thing. Owls says that it's where he put all the ideas too mad for Doctor Who. That's an accurate description.

Stranger Things is . . . oddly hard to have anything to say about.
Yeah. Beautifully made. But... it was a thing.

[elisi]

Also, everyone quite simply needs Dirk Gently in their lives.

This is a fact.

I'm pretty certain he's an ENFP. <3

ETA: Plus it premiered on my birthday so clearly it is BLESSED! I won the birthday lotto of TV shows this year.

OHhh, I hope it is everything one could hope for with that book!!

*HUGS*

[elisi]

It looks absolutely fab! <3

[sea_thoughts]

I'm glad.

[elisi]

I've tentatively looked at my own essays. They are... not awful. But I wish I could re-do them.

[sea_thoughts]

Never mind.

[elisi]

Huh?

I shall (try to) do a post about the whole thing once I have time. So much goodness there. :)

[sea_thoughts]

I mean, I'm sure your essays are still good even if you wish you could do re-do them.

[elisi]

Oh I see! Sorry, doing five things at once.

And yeah, I wrote four of them, in a very short time period, so mostly I'm happy that they're not too AWFUL.
