Red Dwarf

I've become addicted to Netflix's online viewing. It's a lot of older stuff, but they've got some TV shows on there like Red Dwarf. Watched the first two seasons over the last few of days. Mwah. I don't think I've watched these episodes since high school/college. The parents never had cable, and so it was PBS for us. At least, I think it was PBS. Can't imagine a commercial station would have run that since commercial stations firmly believe Americans could not possibly understand an accent and so must completely remake things, just so that they'll have the correct accent, meanwhile stripping the show of absolutely everything that made it good in the first place... *AHEM* (They were probably two seconds away of giving the eighth Doctor role to Joe Estevez, weren't they? I guess he was too busy making Blood Slaves of the Vampire Wolf and Rollergator.)

But anyway, I'd forgotten things like the mpreg on Red Dwarf. Or Lister sleeping with the parallel universe version of himself. *SNORTS*

I wasn't done posting...

• Happy birthday to splash_the_cat! (The original betrayer of the literary tradition.)
  
  
• Monday, eh? YAY! (See, thought I'd go in a completely different direction for once instead of the typical Monday response.)
  
  
• I still don't read a whole lot of fic, but I am having the strangest fic cravings. Like...wanting to see Four and Rose running around fighting crime. (Which I have since found, and so my craving has been satisfied.) Or now wanting to see AU!Martha working for AU!Torchwood (with Rose and Mickey) but this Martha is a lesbian ninja (hey, it's Torchwood); as well as the fic winding up with a Doctor/Rose reunion. See? Completely reasonable, right? Next thing you know I'll be wanting to see a fic where the Doctor and Rose drop in on Tegan, since she happened to have some extra tickets to the opera. *I* don't want to write it, however, I wish it to exist somewhere so that I may read it. That's not fussy, right? Right. *nods*
  
  
• In thinking about my fic cravings this morning, I may now have a small humor fic in my head. One of those that's somewhere between humor and parody. Sarah Jane POV that pokes a bit of fun of the Doctor and Rose's neurotic couple-ish tendencies. Mwah. OH! My fic cravings! I was pregnant with fic! Of course!

UK question: So, when one has tea, is it generally an afternoon thing? Or is it an all-the-time thing? Like say you went over to someone's house in the morning, would you have tea? Or would it be weird to say you're going to someone's house for tea in the morning? It makes no matter to me one way or the other, I just need to know how to word something.

Fic: Tea & Domesticity

Title: Tea & Domesticity
Pairing: Ten/Rose
Rating: PG
Spoilers: School Reunion
Summary: Sarah Jane is the voice of reason in a mad, mad universe.

A/N: Thanks to beck_liz for betaing. And who I also stole the summary, from a comment she made after reading the fic. :D

I'm not exactly sure where this came from, other than I was snickering about the Doctor and Rose's ability to both act like five-year-olds when in an argument. I seem to have lost the skill to determine if this is crack!fic, parody or just plain humor.

Also on AO3: here.
