for you & your friend, Thora.
For you & your sister, Grace.
And another you, tara & your mom.
I'm on drink #3 of the night, and am already having trouble typing and am feeling light headed. I've become such a lightweight.
This morning was amazing - the sun was (and still is!) shining, I was having a good hair day, and I got some incredibly exciting news (details to come shortly, hopefully!), and then it all went to shit. A friend's mom died, so that has just been so horrible. She's been fighting cancer for the past while and succumbed to it today, and my heart is just broken for the family. So I drink.

You made that? Really? That makes it even more awesome! *wants to make an Assassin's Creed costume*
I'm sorry to hear that Thora. That's very tough. My sister found something on her back that they need to examine more closely next week.
so leather and brass for your holster, zu?
Thanks! like I said, it needs more but I like it and I think it's flattering. I have a hat and I want goggles.
I heard that the guy who plays The Governor on "The Walking Dead" is going to be the next Dr. Who. Don't know if that's true or not.

Yup. But I love the busyness. It keeps my days interesting, and time just flies. Hard to believe I've been working for almost 9 months now. I should find out sometime in the next 3 months if the woman I replaced on maternity leave is coming back or not. I've done a good job of not worrying about it, but now that time is starting to run out, I'll admit I'm getting a bit stressed. I don't want to go through the job search crap again. I really hope that she either won't come back, or that there will be a way for me to stay on at the company, as I really enjoy being there. We'll see.
Well, Seattle's out of the question for next weekend now. Oh well. I should have thought about it sooner, and started to make plans more in advance, as all my friends and family don't have room at their houses for me to stay, or are out of town/too busy. Hopefully I'll find something interesting to do around here, but if not, a few days off with nothing to do and nowhere to go sounds kinda nice.
Oooh, where would you be going in November? Is that Dragon-Con time? I forget when that is... I love living vicariously through others' travel plans.
That's so cool! I think when I was living in New Mexico, they filmed a movie in Albuquerque near where I lived, but they never said anything about it....

David Morrissey.
He played the Doctor in the 2008 Christmas special.... sort of. It's kinda complicated and you'd have to watch the episode to understand. (that's my way of saying I suck at explaining )
And, as far as I know, Matt Smith is contracted through 2014. And, with the way the actors have been going on this show, I bet the next Doctor is gonna be a 15 year old kid.

Wow, that time has flown! I hope you can stay on, one way or another. Job seeking sucks.
I dunno if I'm just getting old, or even lazier, but I love days off with nothing to do. *L*
I'd like to visit the UK in November, for friend-visiting and geek-related purposes. I've been invited to a 50th birthday in Scotland (Doctor Who-themed), and other friends go to a tiny convention in Plymouth at that time of year and they've asked me along if I'm in the country. It's got 300 attendees compared to 50,000+ that go to Dragon Con (which happens late Aug or early Sept), so that will be a big difference!
I'd think twice about going to Dragon Con again... it's enormous amounts of fun but there are SO MANY people that go now, trying to move around in the middle of the day is very difficult. And last time I hardly went to any panels, I just wanted to catch up with my friends (which is most of the reason I went anyway). If I do go again, it will be part of a longer trip - last time I only spent four days there and went home again, which was fairly insane.
Oh no, I'm sorry... that's always awful.
Ha! That is funny! And really neat. I liked that movie.They filmed part of Ghost Rider (I think that's what it was called - Nicholas Cage was in it) in Melbourne a number of years ago... a few streets were blocked off in the city, near where I worked, and a bunch of others were dressed up to look like Boston. It was pretty neat but I never saw any filming done, I think it was all happening at night.
I dunno why it was easier for them to fly everyone to Australia to pretend Melbourne was Boston than just filming it in Boston. *L*
Basically he got zapped in the head with a Cyber-Thing and thought he was the Doctor but really he wasn't... or something. *L*
Gods, I hope they don't go any younger with the next one, who- and when-ever that may be... I think they were going to go with someone a bit older after Mr Tennant left, but Matt Smith's audition impressed them so much they just went "bugger it, we don't care how young he is".
And to think people thought Tom Baker was too young at 40 when he took the role...
Oh yeah I forgot about the part where he wasn't the real Dr.
Thank you
I understand the remark
Don't worry about it Tara...I don't watch Dr. Who (even though I do get BBC America)...so I have no idea what's happening in that series
I like it!It's tradition I post this pic tonight.
It's an oldie.
Heehee, love it! I can't remember if I've seen it before...
I like it!
Days off with nothing to do are lovely from time to time! I haven't done much so far this weekend. I did all my normal weekend errands on Friday, then yesterday I did a whole lotta nothing. I'm going to be a bit more active today, since lying on the couch ALL day yesterday made me feel a bit guilty. And the weather has been gorgeous, so I'm going to go for a lonnnnnng run/walk today and take advantage of being outside.
And thank you. The family is doing remarkably well. For the last week of her life, she had been declining very quickly, and the end came fast and she was asleep/at peace when she went, which is good. I will have to take a few hours off of work to go to the funeral, but thankfully my boss is lovely and was totally fine with that.
I have yet to see any Tom Baker episodes..... I'm looking forward to them. I've heard they're awesome.
I think it was 2006, when Bono still had long hair!
Oh yes, I was going to say about Tom Cruise - I'm old enough to remember when Top Gun came out and people took him seriously then... how times have changed.
Crumbs, that was before my time in the PGP! I think he'd had it cut by the time the tour came to Aus and I rediscovered my inner U2 fan.
So, what's the haps? What have I missed?
