holy shit, they got it right for a change!

I just listened to two of the Torchwood audio plays while packing (the third I'm saving for next week at work, since I could download it...), and you know what? Miracle of miracles, they were actually pretty damned good. I mean, whatever tiny bits of science crept in sucked (particularly on that last one...), but the writing was actually really good (for Torchwood, at least), and the cast didn't ham it up horribly like they did with the one last year (I can't blame them for that, mind - with that shit script hamming was the only option).

But seriously, these plays read like good episodes, rather than shoddy, cheap-ass junk. Color me impressed - maybe these specials coming up will actually be good, too, even without Tosh and Owen!

In other news, I love my new haircut... so here's one shot of that, and a few other random bits.







The Boy and I getting ready for [livejournal.com profile] nightsinger and [livejournal.com profile] darthparadox's wedding a few weeks ago. Apologies for the yellow, I haven't had time to fix it yet.



One of my favorite shots from hiking last weekend.



And of course I can't make a photo post without including one of my cat. He wanted to examine the camera when I took this. ♥

Thank you! He had a lot of fun pretending to be James Bond that evening... dress-up seems to do that to guys. ;)

Thanks! Now I just have to hope it holds up with me styling it rather than my clever, wonderful stylist. ;)

Heee, thank you! We had fun dressing up. ♥


AND YOUR CAT!!! *incoherent squee*


He gets that reaction a lot - he's quite the camera-whore, too. ;)

The boy is cute! And so are you. :)

The place you went hiking looks gorgeous.

Thank you! :D

It really was - the hike was mostly through forest, up a small mountain to a lake that's still snow-fed and surrounded by snow, even on a hot day in the end of June. It was unbelievably weird, standing in snow in a t-shirt and jeans, not a cloud in the sky and the sun beating down on everything, feeling hot.

I agree with all the above commenters, and also, I love your hat.

LOVE the new haircut!
The boy and you are simply adorable,
and my grandson, such personality is conveyed
into that shot. How does he manage to DO that?
It's like he's imploring all to "please send treats!"
