PMS

Remember that fanvid of the Hamster to I'm Still Standing? Just stumbled across it again and watched a few seconds and got a little lump in my throat. Even with the shite aspect ratio. QUELLE BIG GIRL'S BLOUSE. I ask you.

ETA: omg! :D

who_daily helpfully linked to my question about whether hearing and/or sight impaired fans might need a transcript service for online stuff like interviews and magazine articles, but the response was not exactly overwhelming (except for linzibean, who kindly offered to transcribe stuff). So I think we can safely conclude that there's no need for a service in the form of a comm or what-have-you.

Which said, if anyone does have anything Who-related they desperately need turned into typed words, give me a shout. V. willing if somewhat slow and erratic.

Most people would not consider this good news...

... but I got a letter from my specialist, who's identified some slightly dodgy areas in my innertube, and thinks I may have mild Crohn's disease. On reading which I jumped around hooting.

At this stage, IIUC, Crohn's is a suspicion rather than a diagnosis. I'll find out more, and what are the next steps we'll take, when I see the doc in September.
