Heh.

"Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her [Jane Austen] up and beat her over the skull with her own shinbone." -- Mark Twain

This has absolutely nothing to do with anything; I just ran into the quote and found it so amusing that I had to post it. Plus, it gives me an excuse to use my "austen h8" tag again.

(Although I actually did like P&P, at least in small doses, when I was eighteen. Just...nothing else ever by her. Particularly Persuasion.)

Who spec

( Speculation on Rose and the Big Fat BBC Spoiler, but with a healthy helping of DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING SPECIFIC )

Also, I watched "City of Death" today, and it boggles me that there are people in this world who can actually think that the Doctor and Romana aren't on a date pretty much throughout that serial. Because...dude. DUDE. I went to Paris with some very good friends, but I certainly didn't hold their hands all the way through it. Or give them big goofy grins at every opportunity. Or basically LOOK LIKE I WAS ON A DATE. (I suppose Tom Baker and Lalla Ward kind of were at that point, weren't they? Heh.)

And I finally figured out who Elisabeth Sladen/Sarah Jane reminds me of...she looks like a dark-haired Meg Ryan. Seriously! Something about their facial structure is very much alike. Plus there's the perkiness and plucky-girl-reporter-ness...my God, she was the first Sally Albright! Heh.
