Back in the olden days, ie, the mid-to-late 1970s, various companies put out Doctor Who trading cards.  These cards were consistently uneven in quality and devoid of companions (except one, that had a photo of Sarah Jane).  But they were redeemed by the presence of Sea Devils, who make everything better.

The House o'Squid is very pro-Sea Devil, so this post is dedicated to [livejournal.com profile] suburbannoir.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?” asked the Commander with, all things considered, a reasonable tone of voice.

Austen-hating journalist versus the Janeites' Cluebats of Righteousness.  Sadly, he didn't seem to stick around long enough for a proper fight, but it was fun watching the pwning in action.

You guys know how much I love trashy UK celeb magazines almost as much as I love dodgy celeb biographies?  Be still my beating heart!  Due out in Australia in November.

Here's a wonderful interview with some of Melbourne's independent booksellers.  Includes terrible customers, book recommendations and a serial book thief.  Who, by the way, I'm going to kick in the nads if I ever see him.  Giant pink Thai cookbooks don't come cheap, people!

Geography fail!  Wrong Georgia, kid.

The plot is fairly simplistic but with redundant lines. "Oceania has always been war with Eastasia." "Freedom is slavery." "Big Brother is watching you." In other words, it was nothing but a lot of nonsensical fillers. One-star reviews of 1984

This advertisement appeared on a phone booth outside work the other day.  You know how there are weird moments where suddenly you wonder if they all lied and the world actually does revolve around you?  Yeah.
