I missed Doctor Who this evening as I was in a whisky bar in Edinburgh with Tequila Boy for belated birthday celebrations/eurovision avoidance. Yes, there are whisky bars in Glasgow but the one we like in Edinburgh has a menu with the prices written on it which saves us the awkwardness of standing at the bar, pointing out a promising looking bottle, ordering two drams and then saying, "I'm sorry? How much...? Could you possibly hold on while I just step outside and sell an organ." The menu also has hilarious little descriptions of what each whisky is supposed to taste of, which are lies. One of them is apparently supposed to taste of medicinal seaweed and iodine, we didn't order that one just on the off chance that the description was true.

Anyway, I wasn't that bothered by the prospect of missing Doctor Who because I'm indifferent to irked by Neil Gaiman's writing usually, and so far I have found S5/6 very hit and miss with me, but, I have just watched The Doctor's Wife on iplayer and: THAT WAS THE MOST PERFECT EPISODE OF DOCTOR WHO THERE HAS EVER BEEN OR PROBABLY WILL EVER BE. THANK YOU. GOODNIGHT.

Okay, It's silly o'clock and I have been drinking so while I assure you that we will discuss the many, many awesome things about this episode, at length, at the moment I shall restrict myself to

-Time Lords can regenerate as any sex! Yeeeeeessssss! You guys, I have been waiting for that for literally years.

-Wee Time Lord girl from the beginning of the series = Idris/TARDIS y/n?

i'm not really here. but i just wanted to say: YAY WHISKY BAR!!!!! i'm off to a SCOTCH BAR in ten minutes! tonight for a flight of scotch with the in-laws, (H's sister loves scotch so that's where we're going). i am not a scotch drinker at all, but i feel the need to learn about it for fic research. apparently you can "taste the sea" in coastal scotch. all my heroes are always drinking scotch. so i must research it. that's all.

How are you after your Scotch? I am a wee bitty delicate. Which obviously has more to do with the pizza I had on the way home and not the full day of scotch, obviously.

I AM GOOD. this is because i did not eat ice cream, like others in the group did, and because i took my milk thistle before bed. no joke, 3 pills of dried milk thistle and some water before sleep is the best hangover prevention out there. (i learned this from my acupuncturist, trufax.) i often go out to 24-hour drug stores drunk just to pick up milk thistle so i won't be hungover in the morning. i'm weird.

clearly it was the pizza that made you delicate, seriously. ;) try the milk thistle next time, i proselytize about it all the time. but it totally does the trick.

i dug the scotch a lot. it took me awhile to find one i could get down. (am such a wimp. i need to man up like my fanfic heroes.) my favorites were ones from campbeltown, the isle of jura, and scapa from the orkney isles. (i wrote that all down so i wouldn't forget in my drunkenness.) we spent a long time talking with the bartender. he'd be like "you'll notice the chocolate overtones in this" and i was like "um yeah. it burns, like the other one, but different." but it's no poor man's hobby, huh? clearly i need to go to scotland and do a whisky tour. when i have money or something.
