All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've only just finished the Eccleston run so I don't really have opinions on the newly announced Doctor.

I should get out and go to check out the neighborhood street festival. I'm kind of... meh... because I just learned that a friend and colleague died last night. Not a surprise; I was told earlier this week he was in the end stages; but still sobering. Eh. I should get out.

I'm with le nubian. "Children of Men" was not the Torchwood I signed up for.

Recasting Clive Owen as Captain Jack really put me off the whole thing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm not getting the Nigel reference, bt.

Oh no, there's not really anything to get. I'm just tickled that his credits include Penguins of Madagascar.

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

I heard that story three times in two days. Once yesterday, twice today, once on my way to brunch at 11, and once in the car on the way back at 2.

THIS.

Sorry, I may be a tad overemotional about that.

Anyway, I've an open mind about the new Doctor. I hear this guy is good, so I look forward to seeing it. I do really enjoy Matt Smith, though. I know a lot of people didn't like him, but I've enjoyed the lightness he brought back to the series.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

NPR just noted that Capaldi is the second oldest man to play the Doctor. So, the whole getting younger with each regeneration thing is out the window now?

That'll teach me to post and then go to the park and exercise.

Somewhere, Alex Bain is cursing his agent even as we speak.

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

I can't pass off going out to lunch and making groceries as a full day's productivity, can I?

Well, going to take a break before I do anything else, anyway. I braved Walmart and that was tiring.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Quester, I was wondering about that. I'm glad. Otherwise, we'd have been to literal teenagers soon.
