Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

NPR just said the announcement of the new Doctor is as important as the royal baby. That's...about right, actually.

I dunno--some guy's salary rides on this too.

I wonder what the betting volumes were for each. Maybe after I shower I'll look it up.

I swear to god, some of my nightclothes are food magnets. This silk nightshirt? Just made a play for my oatmeal. That really comfy pair of black men's pyjama pants with a grey grid? Three days, max. Whereas I never spill anything on my pink stuff.

HMMM.

I realised this morning that I'd been doing the Alton Brown steelcut oats recipe wrong. But I don't think it's to a bad end, although I will follow the instructions next go round (Thursday, by my calculation) and see. For the "add boiling water" step, I was using 2 cups, not 3. I was re-milking it every time I reheated some, but I'm not expecting porridge to come out of the fridge in the right texture.

(Steel cut oats love carrots. I always forget this, for some reason...)

Because books.

There's a new Doctor?

Stephen is making buttermilk pancakes, and they smell delicious.

I had a dream last night in which Colin Ferguson was the new Doctor.

I did not dream about the royal baby.

I think I will have an actual hot cup of coffee this morning, and pancakes.

I had a dream last night in which Colin Ferguson was the new Doctor.

I think I'm moving to your dream world, at least for a while.

It's usually pretty pleasant there, but watch out for the giant jilli-fonts.

ETA: and even in the dream I was unable to confirm that it was CFerg and not some other Colin Ferguson. FWTW, which should be less than the standard 2-cents, I would guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's a new Doctor?

They are announcing it today, apparently.

They are announcing it today, apparently.

In approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes from now.

Not that I'm keeping track or anything.

Our wings are not tired.

In approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes from now.

I'm looking forward to the announcement as well. My bet is that I am going to watch no matter who the new doctor may be.

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

I'm interviewing roommates and have a gap at two.

It wasn't intentional. I swears.

Same. I do hope that we get away from the traditional white male actor for the role, but I'm thinking it's likely that's what we'll get. It'll hardly stop me from watching, though.
