I'm waiting for my mom and her hubby, Wayne, to arrive so I can take them on a driving tour of the city. Of course, I'm not driving (my little car doesn't have much a/c, and it's hard for Wayne's back to get in and out of it, so Mom's driving the rental), but I'll be directing Mom where to turn, etc. With Wayne's health issues, we won't be able to do any museums, but since he's an East Coaster who's never been to the city, I figure an impromptu tour, ending with some time spent up on Dog Beach on the north end of the city (easy access from the car) and a late lunch at an Irish restaurant might be sufficient. If we have time, I might have Mom drive us up to the Bahai Temple in Wilmette, but that's a big if.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Trust me, David Tennant is waaaay sexier than Christopher Eccleston. He played Casanova, fer chrissakes!
He's just not my type. He's pretty. You'll no more convince me DT is sexier than CE than you could convince me Orlando Bloom is hotter than Sean Bean.
I expect to like DT's Doctor, it's just... I am sad at not getting another season (series, whatever) with CE. He was so, so good. And lickable.
Yes, this. I figure it'll still be an interesting show, but without the added perk of a male lead who perfectly pings my hotness meter. Just not quite the same.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's pretty.
I don't even think he's that. I mean, I'm all about the pretty. He's, well, impish is the best word I've seen so far -- I can't think of one of my own.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That is FANTASTIC news!

ita -- I agree, "impish" is the best word.

impish is good. elf-like is also accurate. If ever Keebler needs a live action elf, he's your man.

Well, IJS my gut reaction when I look at pics of him is that he's way too pretty to be my type.
Anyway, I'm consoling myself for the loss of my Doctor by borrowing CE's body and general look for a hero of a novel that's in the early planning stages. I'm having fun playing Regency dress-up with him.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just realized that I had no coffee yesterday, and only one diet coke. No wonder it was such a sucky day.

Perkins, I doubt your commitment to coffee. You turned down my offer of Blue Mountain.
