I has a Brisbane, also Gallifrey

I am in Brisbane!  It's incredibly warm here; people are walking around in t-shirts, and I went a whole day (and evening) without needing my jacket.  It's like some crazy alternate universe.  Oh, and King George Square bus station has been finished, but the square itself is still blocked off, possibly to hide evidence of a Cyberman invasion, we're not sure.  The Fangirl Formerly Known As gunderpants ran into a friend from high school in the lift at the Myer Centre, which was automatically the most Brisbane thing ever to happen.

I listened to about half of Gallifrey 2.2: "Spirit" on the plane down.  It's the one where Romana and Leela go away to an exclusive pleasure planet to talk about their relationship.  Some other stuff happens, too, but that's the driving force behind events.  I'm not even exagerrating.  Leela's talking about leaving Gallifrey, and Romana freaks out and wants her to stay.  Because Romana is into Leela way more than Leela is into her.  Romana's in a position of privilege, and Leela doesn't actually trust her when she claims she's not just slumming it with the single-hearted type.  Gallifrey doesn't quite work as a coherent political drama, but you can easily map the rise and fall of events against the development of the Romana/Leela relationship.  Which is, imho, pretty much dead by the end.

It also has this dialogue, which nearly made me lol (literally) right there on the plane.  Paraphrased:

Alien hostess: "That is the President's companion?"
Gallifreyan guard: "Yes.  She's usurped my position as presidential guard -- they're always together.  I don't know what the President sees in her."
Hostess: "...She is beautiful."

Like I said, I lolled.
