OH HAI THERE, AUGUST!

[alexiscartwheel]

We're heading into the second week of November, and it's 75 degrees here! (That's like, I dunno, 24 or something for Canadians and Brits out there.) I'm wearing shorts because it was so hot in my room earlier when the sun was streaming straight in the window. I guess this is what it'd be like if I moved to Texas, or some other warm all the time climate. Of course, Target is decorated with Christmas trees and snowflakes, like it could totally start snowing in just a moment here. I don't buy it!

Usually there's a point in the semester when I start obsessively watching TV or anime episodes. It tends to be during the last few weeks of class, leading into finals. It seems this year I've hit that point early. Over the past two weeks I've watched the first three seasons of The Office then finished off series 2 of Spooks. Priorities, what?

Don't get me wrong, I've also written a few assignments, gave presentation in class, and accomplished a bunch at work. This week I've taught my student assistants about Depeche Mode, Top Gun, and, um... metadata. No amusing videos for that one.

Because it has nothing to do with anything, I really like the new Weezer single (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To much better than their previous couple of singles.

Also, new Doctor Who in a week. I've decided I really don't like this whole spread out specials deal. I'm kind of out of the fandom loop right now. I do at least have a few Whovian friends in the area to geek out with.

ETA: I want some new icons, but I am lazy. Suggestions are very welcome for fun icons posts for Bones, Doctor Who, Dollhouse, PGSM, Harry Potter, Star Wars, 30 Rock, BSG... anything awesome, basically.

Man I'm really out of the Doctor Who fandom loop too. Weird thing is, though, I think I'm more obsessed than ever. I'm coming closer and closer to having listened to every Big Finish audio, and watched quite a few Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Doctor serials. The break from new episodes has actually succeeded at giving me a chance to catch up on Classic Who.

Yay new special next week, though!!

That's pretty impressive... there are a lot of audios! I still haven't listened to all that many, or watched much Classic Who lately. But there's still time. :)

I read a recommendation somewhere to watch "The Runaway Bride" and "The Fires of Pompeii" before the special because there would be references to those? I'm not sure if that's groundless or not, but, hey, I could always use some Donna.

Yeah I'm actually into listening to the Five/Nyssa audios right now, and really enjoying those. Nyssa is kind of a badass, which was something I never realized! Those have pretty much been fueling my need for Classic Who.

If I have time this weekend I may rewatch those two episodes. There is always time for more Donna!

Nyssa is awesome! She definitely my fave of Five's companions, but I think she gets lost in the shuffle in some of the TV serials.

I often go and check out iconpraise when I'm on the lookout for awesome icon makers.
