• 07:18:14: Ah. Of course the giant academic library I needed to go to today will be closed. Bastards.
  
• 09:13:58: I'm not sure why one of the dogs feels compelled to be on my lap, but here she is. Hullo, dog.
  
• 10:12:44: Right. Having done several very useful things this morning, I'm taking a #TWrewatch break. Today is DW 3x12 - The Sound of Drums
  
• 10:14:13: Space Hopper for the win. Spooky four-beat tapping? Terrifying, and really funny to do around other geeks. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:15:46: "What this country really needs, right now, is a doctor." The Master: evil, but it's a playful evil. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:16:31: Worst confetti ever. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:18:04: It's a gas mask. And it's upside down in half of these shots. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:19:24: Torchwood: unreachable due to watershed. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:22:17: The Great and Bountiful Human Empire, Harriet Jones... Ever get the sense that the Doctor isn't an ideal editor of human events? #TWrewatch
  
• 10:22:55: Though, er, having seen the alternative I'll take the Doctor any day of the week. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:24:39: I realize this makes me a terrible person, but I love the screaming gag. Downing Street is clearly well-insulated. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:27:52: Simm!Master is a bit slapstick, isn't he? #TWrewatch #understatement
  
• 10:29:05: Clyde Jones, meanwhile, is my hero right now. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:31:32: "I like it when you use my name." Oh, the slash just writes itself. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:33:35: The Master: getting entirely the wrong idea about the end of the Time War. And dating. And percussion. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:36:17: The Master, watching Teletubbies on his laptop in Downing Street. #TWrewatch #wealldoit
  
• 10:38:28: On the continent of Wild Endeavour, between the mountains of Solace and Solitude, the Time Lords had great taste in real estate. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:41:40: MacGyver montage is go! #TWrewatch
  
• 10:42:50: "It's like when you fancy someone and they don't even know you exist." And suddenly Eleven's obliviousness makes more sense. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:44:51: The aircraft carrier Valiant? You mean the one with the logo that matches the gas mask from earlier? What could go wrong? #TWrewatch
  
• 10:45:46: Loving the red lining on the Master's coat. Great shout-out. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:47:33: "I've had worse nights." And you're about to have quite a few more, Jack. Sorry about that. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:48:09: I will not go and make a bowl of grits. Even if I have some in the house. I might get the Jelly Babies, though. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:50:57: The Master's awareness of the Doctor's plan become clear is so, so obvious. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:53:51: I remember watching this whole scene and being absolutely amazed. As set-ups go, it's sublime. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:56:34: You know, I tend to prefer a confetti cannon at a party to six billion Toclafane. #TWrewatch
  
• 10:58:59: Today ends on a grim note: Master in control of the planet, Jack & Ten in captivity, human population decimated. Doom, basically #TWrewatch
  
• 14:55:55: It doesn't matter that I'm using it for my capstone project. I can't bring myself to start highlighting my ancient copy of Neverwhere.
  
• 15:08:23: Ways in which this is not about "not writing in books" - I have found the page in which I used a pencil to divide 95 by 3 via long division.
  
• 15:09:19: And yes, 95 by 3 is easy math, but you sort of had to be there in the moment. There were Reasons at the time.
  
• 15:12:08: Anyway, the long division goes nicely with the bit where I multiply 330 by 336.
  
• 15:32:49: Mmm. Half hour break from the writing. Nice.
  
• 16:00:20: "You can have my Crown Vic and you can have my debt. You can have my weakness and my regret." I effing <3 Ike Reilly.
  
• 16:17:37: On page 91, I have written in the margin down the edge of the page the numbers 8, 11, and 10, then written and circled the number 29.
  
• 16:19:03: I should point out that I do not, nor have I ever, habitually used recreational drugs. All of the madness in this book is sober madness.
  
• 16:35:49: RT @clarkesworld: My 7-year-old son just explained to me that you can fight off zombies with crayon bits. They're apparently allergic to ...
  
• 17:07:40: And now, the part of the evening when I mutilate a perfectly nice acorn squash which has never done anybody any harm.
  
• 17:22:44: 1 acorn squash, baked at 400 for 1 hr, mashed. Stir in a fistful of walnut pieces, 1 tablespoon butter, little bit of whole milk. HEAVEN.
  
• 17:46:25: Unfortunate: am still hungry after DELICIOUS SQUASH. I wonder what else I have in, and what's worthy of being a second course.
  
• 17:50:29: I have a culinary solution: avocado tomato melts. Yes.
  
• 19:09:53: What I should do: the dishes. What I want to do: play video games. What I think I will do: both. Just, er, not concurrently. #adulthoodrules
