Quester, I was wondering about that.

Peter Davison took on the mantle at age 30. Matt Smith was 28. So he wasn't extraordinarily young, or anything (I think he markedly played an older doctor than Tennant, as a complete digression). Randomly, aren't you likely to have a trend with three points somewhere in that graph of ages?

::sigh:: I've been putting off work with assiduous laundering. But now it's done. Almost done done--I could iron the five shirts, but that would be desperation. Status reports need to get done one way or another. Done done.

I do love this stage in laundry, though [link] It's like I have a (partial) palette of my clothes, and can decide on outfits while actually looking at the clothes (either it's something I planned the day before at work, or while I was trying to sleep, or more often it's what I grabbed when I got out of the shower.and am barely looking). I am pretty sure I'm going to wear #4 with #10 (ankle length skirt) early in the week. I'd love to wear #12 too, bur I can't work out what other than white to pair it with, and I don't wear white shirts to work because of transparency. I could do #3 (long sleeve wrap bodice) and #9 (straight stretchy and loose maxi), but that would be kind of boring. #1 (sleeveless turtleneck) and #9 are growing on me, though.

#6 is navy, and I suck at coordinating that, especially when it comes to shoes. Ah, well. And, sadly, I found a tear in the ruffle of #13, probably from when it tripped me going up some stairs (I don't remember the exact flight of stairs, but #13, #12, #9, and #6 all need to be held when I try and go up stairs.

And that is your tour of ita !'s closet (wait, maybe #5 (heathered grey short sleeve turtleneck) and #10...). I'm setting myself a one month goal to pick a section of my closet and just be ruthless. If I'm really keeping stuff for sentimental reasons, it doesn't need to be taking up hanging space. That's for what I wear. And I have a tonnage of pretty stuff, some still unworn. I'm not going to be the same size I was 20 years ago, or the same shape I was when doing krav.

I need to do another cull, but really it won't net much, probably mostly ragbag stuff. I'm pretty pared down (and still have an awful lot of clothes.)

I STILL have the boxes of the too-big stuff from something like 2 years ago. I suck at actual donating. I don't want to keep it, I just haven't gotten it moved.

I'm declaring this beet, goat cheese, fennel, and bacon flatbread a success.

But Peter Davison himself was a decade younger than any other Doctor from the original series when he took the mantle.

I remember he was considered terribly youthful when he took the scarf. (and unraveled it, the bastard!)

Hmm...I know it's completely contradictory, but I think Smith played both an older and younger Doctor than Tennant (it makes sense in my head...). He's also more or less my age, which is a purely subjective, but very meaningful (to me) dividing line.

Anyway, I am to bed.

I thought I read somewhere that it was cannon the the Doctor got younger with each regeneration. I could be wrong.

Wasn't it canon that there were only 10 regenerations?

Twelve. Which would technically mean thirteen doctors, so I guess they have one left up their sleeve.

I think that's canon that they may conveniently forget.
