Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Because books.

There's a new Doctor?

Stephen is making buttermilk pancakes, and they smell delicious.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

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.

If its Damien Lewis I'll wet my pants.

(I have no reason to think that I'll end up wetting my pants other than the Doctor's expressed disappointment "still not ginger")
