Great tits a-coping, fandom notes and life in May

[misscam]

I'm sorry BBC, but when you headline a story with "Great tits cope well with warming", I wasn't actually expecting a story about birds. I realise this is because I have a pervy mind and you possibly don't, but come on! There's no need to encourage me. (Also, I don't think the reason it's the 4th most read on the BBC website at the moment is because it's about birds, if you get me.)

In various fandom notes:
- I am so glad I'm not doing the episode reaction post for The Doctor's Daughter, or Wankbait As We Know It (as I like to call it). Granted, I might have to do one for the last few episodes of the season, but I'll wah about that in good time. If there's not at least one blow-up before the season's done, I'll be surprised.
- Spotted at dune_drd: Doctor Who done in the style of Battlestar Galactica's opening. It works strangely well! And fuels further my Doctor Who/BSG crossover idea, yes.
- BSG spoilers of previous mention have gone buhbye. Proof they were real or proof they were bogus? Either way, I want new episodes. Lots. Now. I have zilch patience and I like to know how it ends. I even peek at the end page of books quite often before I'm even midway. Why am I addicted to shows that do mean things and are still running? Woe.
- falena84 sent me package with BSG artwork! I made a remark about wanting an icon with Roslin/Adama and "in bed with the military" for various me-reasons, and she'd drawn me that. Aww. I have the best friends. Also, there was Berlusconi book, but luckily not with fanart of him attached.
- CSI shippers seem to be sad. Nick/Sara lot are having talks with Nick/Greg shippers about the horrors of Nick getting a girlfriend and how to protest to TPTB. Catherine/Warrick fans are just depressed. GSR shippers are a bit upset someone called the kiss disgusting. Shipping - breaks your heart like a breaking thing, y/n?
- I had another one of my 'have stories ideas at night, get up to scribble down before I forget' thing last night. Only now I wonder what the hell my scribbles mean. 'Waiting for dawn on the last night before the first year there' - whut?

In life:

- I has teh dumb and have agreed to run for the firm's relay team in the Holmenkollen Relay. It's a sort of big thing in Norway. My part is over 1 kilometre. Sigh. Many of those not running are coming to cheer us, though, and we're going out to get pissedeat afterwards, so that should be fun. I actually like most people I work with. Huzzah. And we even got t-shirts and hoddies with company logo on to run in. How very almost professional-ish.
- Monday is public holiday in Norway. Whee.
- The weather is currently so nice it's dreamy. When Norway does May, it does May good.
- So, Norway's Christian party is not-okay with homosexuality, but transsexuals they want to support? Ooohkay.

What do you got on?

LOL! OMG! You saw that news report as well? I was checking the news yesterday on my mobile while I was out and it went through a great list of major world events and stories then THAT headline came up and I thought...'Oh dear...I just burst out laughing like a maniac in public' :)

Doctor Who done in the style of a BSG opening...::runs off to take a look::

FRAK ME! That was brilliant! Who would have thought that would work!?

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my turn to do the reaction post. *sigh* Can you only imagine what's going to happen?

And lol at the BBC. Really?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Whoever made up that headline must be having a field day. I always read BBC's news website after lunch, and that particular line just made me 'bwhuh?' then laugh as I read the story.

I did feel like I was suddenly five again, though. :P

Sometimes, the oddest combinations just work.

About the tits...

I've seen the blue tits (I think they call them great tits in the article) more abundant in the area I live in in the last few years. The sparrows have moved away elsewhere and in winters there's more tits than them at the feeding places.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

ALL TOO WELL.

But spoilers have me assured that, well - avert your eyes spoilerphobes! - the mummy issue is not an issue - which would save us the major wanking. Still. Good luck, lol.

I'll be on later in the evening after I get home from the company dinner thing, so I'll help watch it.

BBC is made of win and silly headlines!

A major news organisation using 'accidental' phrasing to pull more hits to its site? Surely not!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I had no idea there were birds called tits. In Norwegian they're known as 'meis'. Great Tit is kjøttmeis, and it's plentiful in Norway. I feed them in winter :) Got a couple living outside my kitchen window.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

That never happens!

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a lovely scribble from which to start a story, actually. Or perhaps I'm just too used to parsing my own incoherent late-night rambles.

Transsexuals! Well, that's...better than hating on everyone, I guess. Bit strange though.

[ericasj.livejournal.com]

LOL. Obviously I've been really closed off in my own little C/G world. But really, I haven't paid too much attention to the fandom. Too busy reading those fics that had to change Grissom's character to make it work. ;)

[cedara]

In German they're called "Meise" / "Meisen" (pl.). I laughed when I first realized the English name was tits.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I think it might be a note on the AU BSG fic I have in my head where they get to Earth and I thought about depicting the first year there. It's the only thing I can think of.

It seems a bit strange a cause for them to champion, really, given their attitudes elsewhere. But maybe that's changing...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Life is the great character-changer, really ;)

Haven't been poking into CSI fandom for ages myself, but yesterday I got curious since a friend told me babydoll is still around and being batshit.

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

*grins* I wish you luck in working it out, because it does sound rather pretty.

Hope springs eternal? Or maybe they're just feeling charitable. Hell, who knows.

Great Tits are different to Blue Tits but I can't remember the differences. It's been too long since I learnt all the different types of British birds in my I-Spy book.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Great vid, isn't it? ^^

[falena]

Poste Italiane did me proud...I sent various packages off on Monday and all the Eu ones have arrived already...I'm quite gobsmacked.

I'm glad you liked the sketch. I had a lot of fun drawing it, those two are just too cute.

there was Berlusconi book, but luckily not with fanart of him attached.

Lol. I wouldn't dream of sending that to an enemy, let alone a friend.

The DW credits done à la BSG look just so seamless. Like they belonged together? I love it.

[wintergreen126.livejournal.com]

i totally thought of another kind of, uh, tits, too, when i first saw that. i think this means i'm more corrupted than i thought...

the bsg opening with dw is quite inspired. the 2 1 survivor is sort of sad, though, to actually see it.

i would also totally read doctor who/bsg crossover fic

i hope you have fun at the relay :o) when is it?

have a great long weekend :o)

*snorts very loudly*

I has teh dumb and have agreed to run for the firm's relay team in the Holmenkollen Relay.

Woo hoo! Go Sporty!Cam. I'm cheering you on--if I had a set of pom poms I'd be shaking them. :D

[witchqueenrat.livejournal.com]

The relay is really that big a deal? Good I didn't buckle under the pressure to do it then. Instead, my slow, fat, lazy ass be sitting by Besserud station shamelessly munching on Jaffa cakes, cheering my coworkers. :-) Spectators get to go to the barbecue too, after all.

That BSG/DW vid is fabulous - and yay for public holidays - ours was lasy Monday but I wish we could have next Monday too...
