LJ/FB/Twit, and: there's a bed in the TARDIS console room????

Just saw part 1 of "Planet of the Daleks," and I am still LOLing at the pull-out bed in the TARDIS console room. And Jo knows where it is? I'm not a shipper, really I'm not, but if I were, I would find that interesting. Very . . . interesting. Also, yay for Barbara / Ian / Susan namechecks! I think this is going to be good. I haven't seen anything other than part 1 yet, so don't spoil me for what's coming up next, please!

In other news . . . gosh, anything new on LJ lately? Oh yes, that's right, this. I confess that I've been checking back there on-and-off all day, because it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. As of right now, there are 123 pages with 7,888 comments, mostly unanimously proclaiming their dislike of the new post-to-Facebook-and-Twitter checkboxes. I don't know if it's because they're afraid to come out, but I've actually seen no one who seems to want this -- the votes seem either against, or "what's the big deal?" Personally, I'm firmly on the "against" side, for reasons that I will likely discuss in a later post. In the meantime:

For the record, I will never cross-post anything to either site from LJ, either from here or from anyone else's journal or community. In case anyone is interested, easy-to-follow instructions on how to get rid of the cross-post checkboxes for many people visiting your journal can be found here. It doesn't guarantee that people can't cross-post their comments from your journal, but it reduces the possibility.

I've also opened a Dreamwidth account, since people have been throwing around invites like confetti. At present it's a placeholder only, so there's no point in trying to friend me there if you're on DW. I don't know if I'll move over there or not -- I'm going to wait to see what happens on LJ first, and how this all goes down. I have to admit, though, that for the first time ever, I am considering the possibility.
