formerly jayeless@dreamwidth

Hey all!

In the light of all the recent developments at Tumblr, I'd been thinking about coming back to Dreamwidth and making a genuine attempt to connect with the community that's active on here. Admittedly, I hadn't been really active either on Tumblr at the time when shit went down (it had long since ceased to be a fun place to geek out over TV and music for me!), but that's no reason to check out where all the other escapees of the sinking ship have run off to, right?

The thing is, though, that I've had this journal a long time and tbh I wanted a fresh start, away from all the entries dating back to my high school and uni days. It's true that all the cringiest ones are access-list-locked (at least… they'd better be), but the tags were still cluttering up my "top tags" list whenever I was logged in and ugh I just did not want to deal with that.

So, fresh start! I changed the username on this, as you can see, to jayeless_archive and I created a brand-new account to usurp the noble jayeless name. Over there, I intend to post a smattering of stuff, general musings and whatnot on a range of topics. These may include books, TV shows, linguistics, my cat, and even more! Feel free to follow me over if that sounds good to you.

Cut for spoilers, duh. Moffatt-sanctioned, thus probably-not-all-that-episode-ruining spoilers but nonetheless :p

Anyway now let's move on to MORE SPOILERS, i.e. the synopsis of the first episode:

Today I found out that a human being could survive ninety seconds in deep space and still get better.

Sooooo I guess I have to cancel my whinging about River Song's stupid plan about chucking herself out of an airlock in The Time of Angels. Technically she had 90 seconds. (Although after not many she'd have been quite sick so to some extent my point still holds. To some extent.)
