"I'm sorry, the pun was irresistible"
Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:08- Thank you for all the virtual snowflake cookies! They made my face make this shape - :D Alas, they all seem to have gone now so I can't send any back, but nevertheless, I ♥ you all, flist!
- Happy belated birthdays to
vonquixote (for Saturday) and
harveypenguin (for Sunday)! And happy early birthdays to
marah_sarie (for tomorrow) and
_catharine_ (for Thursday)! I hope you all had or have lovely days.
- All weekends should have three days in them, you can get more done that way. I did lots of Christmas shopping yesterday and felt very virtuous, but also like I'd been stepped on by a Pythonesque Giant Foot. Not good! I have the afternoon off today so I'm going to spend it putting up the tinsel and the baubles and the lights that I bought. Normally I would not approve of putting up decorations this early, but I'm not going to be here over Christmas and I'm hosting Stitch 'n' Witch tonight, so decoration time it is.
- Does anyone have any recs for CDs of carols? I bought this one from iTunes last year and it's nice to listen to and has all my favourite carols on it, but it's but a bit... choir-y? maybe? and I'd really prefer something a bit more singalongable, if you see what I mean.
- Yesterday I watched The Brain of Morbius. I was expecting to enjoy this one and was not disappointed.

That was the last story in season thirteen (ETA as
everlasting_day has just pointed out, this isn't actually true, it's the penultimate season thirteen story. So... never mind!), which means that by seasons I am now (almost!) half way through watching everything in order. Eek! So far I think that One's era is the one that's benefited the most from watching this way: it really makes it obvious just how diverse and daring his stories were. ♥ Other thoughts so far: it's a huge advantage that I like all the companions - I don't get too sad about one leaving because I know the next one is also awesome! I did miss Steven quite a bit, but since I love Ben and Polly I think that was mostly because he got written out in such an unsatisfactory way. I'm also pretty pleased that I've seen all the recons now and won't get stuck with lots of them to watch at the end!
(ETA2, much later: let's all pretend that I can spell "irresistible", ok? *facepalm*)
- Happy belated birthdays to
