I need kittens. Kittens make everything better. Everyone needs kittens! Except people who loathe kittens, of course. (Small birds and so on). Anyway, so -- plz to be posting kittens in the comments, kthx!

Also cats, ta.

Also! Check out my awesome new Martha Jones icon (one of several, no less), courtesy of liviapenn, who has been doing icons for people in honour of International Blog Against Racism Week. Yes, that was indeed my incredibly lame contribution to IBARW! (Actually I was going to say some other stuff about how I've read some really interesting, thoughtful discussion round these parts lately, and how I was at times even forced to exercise my brain, etc, and how this was a good thing. But then I got sidetracked by self-pity and now I am far too drained to talk about anything other than kittens).

Once again, I must post the disclaimer that in real life I don't really say things like 'awesome' or 'check it out'. Because I would sound ridiculous.

Posts possibly to come, if I feel up to it: 'Edwardian School Stories and Why Everybody Should Hate Ruth Craven, or Birth of the Mary Sue'; 'My Dream About David Walliams and a Giraffe'; 'Forcing My Poetry On You Again'; 'Other Stuff'.
