Wonderful Nonsense

Sooo, I'm back home in my dorm room. No major disasters have occurded here while I was gone, except that I seem to have missed some sort of official letter, possibly from the student support people. :/ Have to figure that out tomorrow. Other than that, the only bad thing is that I'm freaking lonely once again. Buuut not for long, because OXFORD! IN THREE DAYS! WOO! I'm so excited.

We got the program for our stay a few days ago, and it's awesome. There's lots of lectures and tours around Oxford University and such, but also cultural things like a night at the Catweazle Club and Blenheim Palace (yeah, I've never heard of it before either, but it looks great on the website). And on Monday we're going to London. We'll be busy until 5.30pm, but after that we get free time. Which I've got no idea what to do with, since all the interesting places I want to go to close at 5 such as the setting of Jubilee, aka the Tower of London. I don't know if I've got anyone on my flist who lives around there and would be up for a meeting, but I'd love to have someone to check out the last real Police Box in Earl's Court with. ;) Suggestions for what else to do there are also welcome.

I'm also finally catching up with the Six & Charley audios, yay. I've finished all the Eight&Charley ones, by the end of which I had really gotten to like C'rizz and even Charley (I didn't really enjoy her before). Last night I listened to The Doomwood Curse, which was so much fun, omg. Only in Doctor Who land can you be possessed by novels. XD Once I'm back here I'm going to order a couple of audio CDs from Big Finish omg are the studios in London? I could go worship the ground they stand on. Right now I'm thinking Zagreus and Jubilee, possibly also The Next Life and The Holy Terror. Oh, and ...Ish! Need to listen to that again before I leave too, since it's so fitting and all. XD Any more suggestions? My requirements are basically awesome story + pretty cover art, lol.

Gotta go make lots of lists now, of things I need to do before the trip and what groceries to buy tomorrow so I don't have food sitting around for a week that really shouldn't. Which sucks because thinking of food is making my stomach turn right now, blah. But! After that I can listen to Brotherhood of the Daleks or watch another Hornblower. I'm quite smitten with that series, heh. So much manliness and prettiness and honor. XD And I believe the next episode has Paul McGann, woo!

I'm sure you can all imagine how horrible the internet-less time was, but I did kill some of it by listening to Zagreus again and taking notes like a nerd, and I decided to write up the piece of dialog that always brings tears to my eyes.
