Last year, I spent the entire week leading up to Dalek going nuts. Every so often I'd randomly pause and squee "DALEKSTHISWEEKOMG!" Everyone thought I was going mad but I got so excited and crazy. And yet, even though I have more childhood memories of old Cybermen episodes of Doctor Who -- that one where all the Cybermen are in little compartments like a giant honeycomb and then they break their way out through the plastic? Gave me nightmares -- I just haven't been as excited this week. Whether because I was working hard or not letting myself so much as think of Doctor Who until my work was finished and then today I've had the woman here all day so I haven't had time to squee but--

-- I just totally had a revert-to-my-childhood forty-five minutes. I had no idea I loved the Cybermen this much. Oh my god.

BEST. THING. EVER.

EDIT: Oh, [livejournal.com profile] lossi I got the whole episode again so did you want me to split and upload like last week? Or are you getting it somewhere faster?

edit: Oh and while I'm at it, anyone got any good programs for shrinking down video sizes a bit, preferably without massive loss of quality along the way? This whole new record-TV-to-my-computer thing is just shiny but it's .mpg and the files are huge. Even shaving a couple of hundred MB off them would help but I've got no idea where to start.

Very squeeful! :D They really do but two-parters so don't. >_< I'm going to be going crazy wondering all week now. And the Doctor's reaction to Rose the dog! Priceless!

hehe, that was clasic! By the way! You seen the new Superman Returns trailer? And the new Bond film Casino Royale trailer?

The new superman trailer is here:

A lot of people don't like superman, saying its too cheesy, but i'll be going to see it for Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor alone. And haha! I've seen Smallville 5 finale! :P :P :P

She'll want you to upload it for her ;) She asked me, but there was massive thunderstorms and so Sky died, and I have no recording of it.

And, VirtualDub might do it for you. It's been so long since I used a video shrnking program though, my DVD ripper does it all for me.

And, I'm booooored. *pokes gently*

Mmm, I deifnitely need something. This latest episode came in a 1.7GB and I'm dying slowly of horror at the way it's eating away at my space. What DVD ripper do you use? 'cause I really need to start ripping more stuff again now I actually have time.

*pokes gently back* I'm just waiting for freshers to get out the kitchen and I'm going to make dinner. Should be on in about an hour or a little bit longer depending how long they take.

I use Xilisoft DVD Ripper but I had to pay for it. I think if you downloaded it... you could probably use my registration codes. It's really shiny, and you can change like, tons of settings.

Yaaaay!!! I don't think Lossi will be back then, but CLO!TIME!!!! *dances* I will fic until then. Maybe. Or just eat oreos. Ahem.

... That would be very, very shiny. *is feeling broke today* ;) (btw, R's bf sends his undying gratitude for Photoshop CS). That'd be great because I'm fairly sure I've used up my free trial of DVD Ripper and that flask one drives me crazy.

^_^ Some Clotime, don't think I'll be awake till much past twelve or so tonight but actually making it to MSN will be an achievement this week. Fiiiiiiiiiiiic. *pokes* :D

Awww, thunderstorm was shiny :D I watched it on non-Sky tv but the DVD recorders are both with tvs with the Sky boxes, so I could not record, and obviously, Sky+ wouldn't either. *kicks technology*

I love thunderstorms and my mum was saying Wales has had loads these last few days too. Lancaster's just stuck in its own miserable microclimate or something. Technology; it's great until it's not. Ggrrr.Well I'll be uploading the ep anyway it seems, so it'll be there if you want it. ^_^
