"And I'm not just saying that because I want my coat back."

Condition [mood icon] sick
Analgesic West Wing - "You are a cow rustler, Mrs Landingham."
It occurs to me that, in my post about my trip to London to see a Prom, I neglected actually to mention the Prom. How remiss of me.

Basically all I have to say is more eloquently expressed in this five-star review, though the reviewer neglects to mention the utter awfulness of the Casken piece. It was, as far as I could tell, essentially random notes. As if someone had taken the early stages of a monkeys-and-typewriters experiment and applied the principle to music. But the point must be made that a) the conductor made it absolutely the best collection of random notes it could have been and b) the Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky more than made up for the Casken's failings. The finale of the Stravinsky, in particular, sent shivers down my spine.

The fact, however, that the name of the antagonist in The Firebird is Koschei, which was also the Master's true name when he was on Gallifrey, makes me want to write a Doctor/Master story based on the myth. (Doctor as Ivan, Master as Koschei - duh - various companions as the Princesses, either Romana or Jack as the pretty one, and probably an OC as the Firebird.)

If only I could write. Ho hum.

In other news, I'm increasingly worried about the Eton course, had a horrible bout of abdominal migraine this morning (which left me retching, crying, and nearly unconscious at various points) from which I am still recovering. But I am watching my West Wing DVDs, so I'm surprisingly happy.
