Neep.

So, the flooding seems to have gone through our town with relatively little damage (that I've heard of as yet).  Jay and Ali have headed back up to IL (O_O... Bugger, I think they still have my Changeling book...), and it was a splendiferous visit.  I am going to adore living with them, though the move itself is a bit delayed due to a couple of small hitches, but they're on their way to being cleared up.  I made myself a set of flash cards for practicing Katakana, this weekend, and have quite a few phrases memorized, so Japanese is progressing.  I haven't been as diligent in my studies as I should be, though.  I'll need to do better...  

So...

 I just had to share it.  I've got episodes 8 (Silence in the Library) and 9 (Forest of the Dead) of Doctor Who posted over on the_wholigans.  Anyone who likes the show and hasn't seen these yet, run--don't walk, run--and watch!  This is the TV equivalent of Ed Alleyne-Johnson's violin playing.  It is, in short, nothing short of superb. In my opinion, one of the absolute best pairs of episodes I've seen.  Granted, my experience of Doctor Who is mostly limited to this season, but... Just take my word for it, go see.
