"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

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

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.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

So, um, people who get migraines and get halos with their migraines... Is having a big change in the pattern of the halos a scary thing or just a thing?

The dozen or so times I have had migraines throughout my lifetime, they have featured a sparkly tunnel in place of my peripheral vision and a blind spot such that if someone were about 5-8 feet away and facing me, when I look directly into their face, the right side of their face (that is to say, their right, my left) would be covered by sparklies. This is generally consistent with both eyes, but I think it feels stronger from the left eye. I just woke up from a nap to find that my left eye could see just fine, but there was a blank area in my right eye's visual field such that holding my right hand up at arm's length, palm facing me, with fingers splayed, my thumb disappeared.

I stumbled down the stairs, took Excedrin, and the visual effect has gone.

It is also possible, I suppose, that this was not the precursor to migraine pain so much as my neck and brain offering a rather pointed opinion on my choice to sleep face down bunched up oddly over pillows to facilitate my knee feeling happier. Maybe?
