Weapons of Class Destruction

I ended up liking Doctor Who: The End of Time, despite all of Rusty's obvious excesses, and the fact that the exact thing that I feared the most happened. I liked a lot of the things that everyone else did. Still... I can't help feeling like I was watching a slightly different show than anyone else was.

What do you mean it wasn't called: "Rassilon: Epic Sex Lord of the Universe"?! Well, it was for me, sweethearts!

Seriously, this is my third week being sick. I'm never sick for this long; something just... wormed its way into my immune system. My right ear's infected now, so I feel like I'm on the deck of a ship during a storm all the time. Yes, even lying in bed I get vertigo. It's a very odd sensation and I have to recall when my sister first went deaf (from a series of ear infections) how she would actually just spontaneously fall down. I understand it now! I blew my nose the other day and I heard this horrid sound and blacked out before I realized it was coming from inside my own head--my ear to be precise! (Luckily, I was sitting on the couch so I just fell onto the cushion next to me!) Before that, I was out walking the dogs and got so sick, I didn't even make it home, I had to crouch next to the mailboxes and puke in the bushes! (Luckily, out mail lady's super nice and was very kind to me!) It's... strange. It's been a long time since I've been anywhere near this sick for this long!

Anyhoo, it also means that I haven't kept up with my flist as I've wanted to. I've been reading posts and trying to comment when I can, but lots of things have just kind of passed me by. Like a look at shipotl's fantastically beautiful garden! Fanvids and fanfics, assorted and sundry. So, I do apologize once more, gentle flist, for my recent inattentiveness. I have been reading, really! Hugs you all!

So, now news. The Official BBC Press Release for Merlin Season 2 revealed that Lancelot would be back, hooray! I won't have to watch episode five repeatedly anymore just to get my Santiago fix!

Doctor Who's new companion was revealed. Yeah. Well, she's awfully pretty. And if the Moff can pull off a character as fantastic as, well, any other female he's ever written (say, oh, Nancy, Sally Sparrow, Reinette, River Song, smart Miss Evangelista... Well, you get the idea!) I'm sure she'll be fantastic. Yes, I'm struggling to be optimistic here.

Oh, and this is for moetushie! Like father, like son aka Duo of Swedish Hotness Stellan and Alexander Skarsgård (clicky on the thumbnails):



Come on, they're so much alike! And he's a hot old guy, I can't help it! Hee!

Okay, I have a need to know! First person on my flist who knows, all you wonderful UKers out there, I beg of you: enlighten me! I know Patterson Joseph is the favorite at the mo, and he'd be fab but I need absolute positive (or negative) confirmation!

*Is even too excited to squee!*

EDIT: And the new Doctor is: Er, Matt Smith? Off to look him up!

EDIT #2: Oooh, I know him! He played Jim in the Sally Lockhart mysteries! His Wiki page here!

EDIT #3: Piccie time:

From averysmallthing and charleygirl:

When you see this post, quote from Doctor Who on your LJ.

"I can't stand burnt toast. I loathe bus stations - terrible places, full of lost luggage and lost souls. And then there's unrequited love, and tyranny, and cruelty."

The Doctor, "Ghost Light"
