Er... After watching the Doctor Who confidential for the Eleventh Doctor, I now have a new official statement.

'I'm hesitantly optimistic about the change.'

The Tennant bits showed a man who is excited about his job but at the same time weary and wants to move on with his life. So yeah, it'll be awful to watch him go, but it's not a bad thing.

The New Guy... Since I'm not going to spoil anything here, let's just say that I liked his eyes. They looked old. Which works just fine.

And for the first time (er.. this year) I wanted to slap RTD and tell him to shut up already. That was weird. I usually enjoy his exuberance, but now it was more like... Move on with it.

Maybe that's what we should feel about Tennant as well.

*still a bit weirded*

The year starts with me feeling totally drained. Too much work, I guess, or not enough time off. My eyes feel gritty and I think I'll go to bed in a minute. Yeah. At 5 pm. Whatever.

Tried to watch Twilight. Honestly did. Like... Er... Peeked at the part where Edward reveals Bella what he is, and couldn't stop laughing. OMG the anngggsst! The horror. This is the face of a killer! Yeah. If people honestly like this, there is no hope for mankind.

Still, the Torchwood OST is good. Small mercies.

YAY!

I think I more or less managed to keep my deadline with the B5 fic! There is one small scene that needs some writing, and I think I'll need to go through the whole story again and tweak a bit here and there, but otherwise... Parts 1 and 2 are done.

Done!

Now I get to focus on the third and final part. Excellent. Then maybe one day this whole story will be finished and I can stop thinking about these idiotic storylines that take over my life. Would so totally swear off sagas, but I'm afraid that sooner or later I'll just have to break my word.

Anyway, I'm deliriously happy now. There was one thing that just refused to work, and now it looks so good I could hug the fic. Yay!

Next up: a new year and new fics to write. So many decisions about what to write, what stories to abandon.

*giggles*

A very serious, extremely non spoilerish commentary on the Christmas Who.

- David Tennant!
- OMG I'm having flashbacks to Blackpool and 'These Boots Were Made For Walking'...
- those things looked silly. Also, the other things looked silly. Yeah.
- The homage to the other Doctors made me go all teary.
- OMG I can't believe I'll be a total cliche and say that it broke my heart too! Like... This is what every insane cliched fan will say.
- I never really noticed Tennant's ears before. They look funny. OMG!

That's the end of the very serious extremely non spoilerish commentary.

All the while watching, I kept wondering just how many stunts that silly man did himself, and if he really carried stuff/people on his back. Poor back. Okay, and now I'm just sounding like a total idiot. Should shut up now. Maybe eat something...

Oh. Does anyone know exactly when will the next Who come out? Anyone?

I can't believe I actually get to use this icon again!

*hearts*

*sigh*

Rest in peace, Majel Barrett Roddenberry.

Her voice was a part of my childhood, though I never knew that the voice of the Enterprise computer was actually a real person. As Lwaxana Troi, she made me both laugh and cry.

I wonder where I could find lyrics for Murray Gold's Songs of Captivity and Freedom, or even just the Song of Freedom.

Come on, I bet some insane fan's managed to get them from somewhere. Alas, that fan is not me.

*pouts*

THEY DID WHAT?

Okay, so I stopped watching Boston Legal ages ago, because it was both too silly and not too silly to watch. A stupid combination that makes cringe worthy moments rather than magic.

But after I saw a few reviews of the last ep, I just had to...

( What, you didn't think I'd cut for spoilers? )

Now I'm waiting for the fic. There should be new fic coming up.

*heads off to look through the comms*

Whee! Dame Judi Dench turned 74 today. Excellent!

I always thought she was a year older than she really is. Hey, I wonder if this makes me less of a perv... I mean, that woman is gorgeous!

Funny. Older men, not so much. Ladies though...

Anyway, should celebrate this by re reading Astolat's Bond/M fic. Yeah.

Now I'm wondering if all my public posts really are this shallow. Like I'm the shallow queen of the shallowland. Probably. Oh well. It's not that I need to project a solemn image or anything. It's just kinda weird.

You Are a Yule Log

While you do have holiday spirit, you have a secret, heathen past.

Well, the proper term would be pagan, but whatever...

And this was a surprise why?

Tomorrow, it'll be December, and people will go nuts. It'll be Jingle Bells 24/7 and everyone milling around the mall, fighting over everything you can buy. Bah humbug. Wake me up when it's all over.
