selenayObviously I'm obssessed. It's the only explanation for seventeen Doctor Who icons.

There are also new fanfic reviews up at The Haven and I'm not even responsible for all the Doctor Who reviews. Just most of them... *g*
Tour de France started yesterday so I am in my ridiculously excited, cycling-obssessive mode. Go Lance!
Armstrong looked incredibly strong yesterday. I'd say that he's still the safe money this year and I couldn't be happier. I want his career to end on a high. It's been an incredible career, an amazing record, so finishing it in yellow will be the icing on the cake.
Ullrich was not looking so strong. What a shame. Not. His team will have to make a tough decision - support Ullrich, a man who has seen his best days, or support Vinokourov. I'm an unashamed Vino fan and Telekom would be idiots to put their money anywhere else. Unfortunately, I can see them imploding under the pressure and nobody getting anything good :-( On the other hand, Vino in the '03 Tour showed what he can do without his team's support. He's a strong, aggressive rider and he could put Armstrong into the kind of difficulties that Ullrich just can't muster. He's a so-so time trialler, but with good form in the mountains could more than cancel out that handicap.
Vino is one of my hopes for the next few years of Tour competition :-) Ivan Basso is another rider that I'd love to see in yellow in Paris one day. David Zebrisky has shown some great potential in this weekend's racing - not a Tour winner this year, but definitely someone to keep an eye on. I'll be interested to see what he does in the mountains. I already like his character and personality, so I hope he equals the talent he promised yesterday.
Tomorrow is a rolling stage, another one for the sprinters. My money would go on Robbie McEwan - he mistimed it today and that has to grate. He'll be raring for a stage win tomorrow :-) And then on Tuesday it's the team time trial - CSC or Discovery will come out the victors. Discovery has won the past two years, but CSC is a damn good time trial team, they've won the TTT before and this year they have the added bonus of leaving last with the yellow jersey in their midst. It's too close to really call it right now. Telekom will be there, but they're probably too fractured to win. Vino and Ullrich will both lose time, although hopefully not too much for Vino's sake. I would predict that on Tuesday evening either Lance or Zebrisky will be in yellow, but it's far too close to call it.

Date: 2005-07-03 09:56 pm (UTC)Although I did like that gen funny one (and I told the author). I definitely have a Blakes 7 one for you for next update! My mission to find good Seven & Ace stuff isn't going well though.

Um, yeah. Can't help you there, I'm afraid. I didn't venture into the waters of DW fanfic until the new series began and I'm still very wary about it. Haven't even looked at the stuff for previous Doctors - I'm still sticking to the published novels *g* Some of them are actually rather good.
Although, if you find any decent Seven & Ace stuff (or any Doctor, really), feel free to point me in the right direction.
Not that I'm a DW obssessive with Remembrance of the Daleks out from Amazon or anything...
My Amazon rental is list scary :-)

Date: 2005-07-05 10:45 am (UTC)I'm working my way through the Seventh Doctor ones courtesy of finding them cheap (ish, in some cases) and I've liked them all, but some are really good.

Oh, I will. Plus reviews for other things too - I found a good Blakes 7 one the other day courtesy of Crack Van. Which will actually make sense to you with the amount you've seen as well. Must look up more B7 recs, I know there are some other good ones out there.

Er, bought it off ebay and it arrived this morning...

Date: 2005-07-05 02:44 pm (UTC)This is one fandom where the tie-in novels are actually as good (or better than) much of the fanfic. It always seems odd, having been a DW fan for so long, when fandoms like Stargate have such dreadful tie-ins. Maybe that's why there is so much Stargate fic and comparatively little DW fic. Hmm...
Which will actually make sense to you with the amount you've seen as well.
Yay! I'm always happy to accept new recs - especially if I can wander off and read the fic that's been recced :-)

Date: 2005-07-05 06:39 pm (UTC)I've just had a thought after posting the other comment. If you have a Seven & Ace episode from amazon, does this mean icons? Not that I want one or anything... :) (I have two of the Nine & Rose books if that works as sufficient bribery)

Date: 2005-07-05 10:15 pm (UTC)Hmm...
Are the Nine & Rose books good? I've been eyeing them up in Ottakars, but I can't really afford to spend hard-earned cash on things that I might only read once.

Date: 2005-07-06 08:40 am (UTC)Yay
Are the Nine & Rose books good?
The two I've got (from the second hand bookshop) are ok. The Clockwise Man reads like an episode of the new series, so that one's good. The Monsters Inside does take Rose to her first alien planet but then doesn't make much use of it and splits the Doctor and Rose up. And while they're both good characters they're much better together.
The one good thing about both of them is that there are very few scenes, specially towards the beginning, with only original characters. Towards the end I tend to read them because then I know who they are and care about them a bit more.
You can borrow them if you like because I'm unlikely to be reading them again soon.

Date: 2005-07-07 04:46 pm (UTC)I may just take you up on that. There will be this picnic/pub trip next month when we could exchange hostages on books, fanfic and CDs, if that's OK.
Must get the email out with the date for the Hyde Park trip.

Date: 2005-07-07 07:32 pm (UTC)And, I found a good Seven & Ace fic! I have a few issues with it but the writing's good and I'm interested to see where it goes - it's currently at 11 chapters and unfinished. I found it on ff.net as well: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2397615/1/
