The day still comes and the sun still shines

And today it is slushing.

If you (or anyone else who needs to know) submitted anything to Strange Horizons for the month of November, you should have received a response as of last night. I am aware this is rather later than the magazine's stated eight weeks' response time, but I have been having trouble with my editorial account—am still having trouble and may have to change the address I use for slush-reading—and it took me quite plainly until this month to get in and read submissions. Nonetheless, if you still have a poem outstanding from that month and no response from either myself, rinue, or ajodasso, query. It's almost certainly gone astray in the aether if so.

Courtesy of handful_ofdust: I would, in fact, watch the hell out of this alternate run of Doctor Who. Especially the Fourth and Tenth Doctors. Major points for the casting of the First and Sixth. Tell me what universe I rent the DVDs from. (What do you mean most of the Second Doctor's run doesn't survive even on kinescope? Oh, BBC, even in another history, you never recorded anything?)

Courtesy of derspatchel: cable codes (a lot more here). It's like Exquisite Corpse plays the stock exchange.

It's Britten's centenary year; I can hear Alex Jennings talk about playing him. He turned up in a ghost poem of mine some time ago. I still don't know why I haven't written more.

Oh God I LOVE the alternative Dr. Who castings--love love love! (and I'm not even that much of a fan of the show...)

next: look at those cable codes...

I think the next universe over has a much better viewer base.

Timesink. Just so you know.

Oh, Sue Perkins and Miranda Hart. I would watch Dr Who for them.

Tell me what to watch Miranda Hart in. I didn't recognize anyone but Sue Perkins after the Seventh Doctor . . .

I believe she's the actress who played Chummy, the too-gawky-to-be-the-debutante-her-upper-class-mother-wanted nurse on "Call the Midwife" who had such a disastrously difficult time learning to ride a bicycle (a must for making it to difficult childbirths in time in 1950's East End London).

And in alternate timeline: Finally a ginger. :)

*wistful* Why oh why is this not real? I would adore this version of Doctor Who. (Mind you, I adore several of the Doctors as they are. But still. Wistful.)

Also, dying of giggle at Julia Roberts. Oh, Eric.

We could have both versions. Compare and contrast.

Also, dying of giggle at Julia Roberts. Oh, Eric.

I know.

I am immensely amused - though I suppose I should not be surprised - that there are codes for "arrested for smuggling".

I think I am going to start explaining my tardiness for appointments with "Apologies, admetos."

Thanks for sharing the links.

I'd watch that alternate run as well. The cable codes seem awfully useful, and would make text messaging much more effective, or at least compact.

The Alex Jennings piece on the BBC radio is grand. Thank you for linking it.

I am very fond of him. It seems to be a thing that happens when an actor plays two of your favorite artists.

That's the only problem with this particular game! I am frustrated by the nonexistence of the results!
