There is still much more to come.

To those of my 5 readers who don't care about Doctor Who, I promise I will write something about my life the very moment that something happens.

"Speaking at a lunch held at the Haymarket Hotel, Oliver Ford Davies, 69, who was nominated for his portrayal of Polonius, tells me: "We are intending to film it over two or three weeks in June. It won't be a full feature film as there isn't time but it will certainly be more than just the filming of the stage. It will be fantastic to work together again."

"Tennant unfortunately only managed 11 performances at the Novello Theatre, after already appearing for a run in Stratford-upon-Avon, when he suffered from a prolapsed disc, obliging his understudy Edward Bennett, 29, to fill in on 21 occasions."

Yeeeeesh!

"Award-winning British actress Romola Garai (Atonement) takes the lead as Anne, alongside BAFTA-winning actor Bill Nighy (Notes On A Scandal, Love Actually), who plays her father Alexander. They are joined by Oscar-winning actress Julie Christie (Away From Her, Finding Neverland) who plays the formidable Aunt Elizabeth, Eddie Redmayne (The Other Boleyn Girl) as Anne's brother Ralph and Juno Temple (Wild Child) as their younger sister Celia. David Tennant (Doctor Who) plays family friend Hector, Charlie Cox (Stardust) stars as Anne's lover Lawrence, Jeremy Northam (Gosford Park) as the shady government operative Balcombe and the legendary Christopher Lee (Lord Of The Rings, Golden Compass) as Walter.

"1939 is set between present-day London and the idyllic Norfolk countryside in the lead up to the Second World War. At a time of uncertainty and high tension, the story is centred around the formidable Keyes family, who are keen to uphold and preserve their very traditional, English way of life. The eldest sibling Anne (Romola Garai) is a budding young actress who is head-over-heels in love with Foreign Office official Lawrence (Charlie Cox). Anne's seemingly perfect life begins to dramatically unravel when she stumbles across secret recordings of the anti-appeasement movement. Whilst trying to uncover the origin of these recordings, a tangled web of dark secrets begins to unfurl, culminating in the mysterious death of a dear friend."

I hope that's not Tennant's character.

Ah, I hear Lord Confoundit coming in. I've been waiting up for him.

Lord Confoundit is wearing mascara, a purple velvet jacket, and Doctor Who chucks. Way to make his ol' mum proud.

Today, I bought tickets for Lord C., myself, and xanthe to see the play Calendar Girls at Noel Coward Theatre, London, on 6 April. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Woah. The freakin' Theraflu is kicking in.

Really liking Doll House. Anyone else?

Really hating Ellen Tigh on Battlestar Galactica, as always. One would think that after several thousand years of marriage, she and Saul would have at least their partial shit together.

How did our clever boy manage to work this one in? Is it already shot or to be shot after he wraps Doctor Who?

Honestly, Bill Nighy and Tennant in one movie is enough to make me soooooo happy. So very, very happy.

Here's the bit where I get to warn you craft-making folk to avoid our old Web host, Artsefest.com. It had potential when it began about four years ago, but a succession of owners, each worse than the one before, has left it a very poorly operated wreck. So, here is the horror story of what they did to us--long-time customers with one of their largest sites: Artsefest is autopaid via Paypal every three months. Our current site was paid up until the middle of March. I sent a note to the current owner, telling her that at the end of this billing cycle, we would be closing the store, so please do not bill us again. Her response to me was one line: "You need to go to Paypal to cancel your subscription." Okay. It makes sense that only I can authorize the ending of payments. So, I went to Paypal and ended the subscription.

Within a half hour tops, in an act either of extreme stupidity or extreme vindictiveness, the owner of Artsefest had wiped our entire site, including records of sales I had not yet processed. After much anger and outrage on my part, they managed to restore my sales records and a useless shell of a site with no pictures from their last backup, which was apparently done more than a month ago, so the missing sales where not there, and the clearance sale I was running could not continue.

So, poof. Gone. Too bad. I wish them godspeed on the inevitable slide toward extinction, and may our suffering warn any craft people out there against committing themselves to Artsefest's care.

I have a hard time with idiots and I have a very hard time with macho crap from little boys who have sired children before they bother to grow up themselves. I'm having a hard time dealing with what I heard. I'm trying not to judge, but this really got to me. If you can't hold your shit together enough to help your own child...well, I dunno.

Sigh.
