Birthday...

To fairestcat:






Have the happiest of birthdays - and a good, exciting, creative, enjoyable fannish year!

Torchwood: the best things about it...

__kali__, who often has moments of creative genius, asked over on torchwood why we like the show, crack though it is. With all its strange flaws and fascinations.

And I found that once I started listing things, it was hard to stop.

If you want to see my list, it's here. It was such fun thinking about the good things and moments - and even finding a number that had nothing particularly to do with Captain Jack.

Windfall: Comic book boxes....

I collect comic books. I have collected comic books for a very long time.

I got a message from my friend Grant the other day, asking if I would like some comic book storage boxes he didn't need any more. You bet, I said. He said he had about half a dozen to spare. Great, said I.

Then he said there were a few more than he thought, maybe a dozen.

Even better, said I.

So he brought them over tonight. A dozen? The man's a scientist: you'd think he could count boxes. There are more like two dozen. Maybe more. He just kept bringing them out of his car. One after another after another.

It's going to be a long, long time before I need to buy another box.
