time and relative dimension in space

( Doctor Who 12x00 Resolution )

(Also, the intro scene where the Doctor's apparently been taking the gang around to rank New Year's days: DELIGHTFUL.)

There are some really good things about my current job, including regular paychecks, three-day weekends, and paid sick leave/vacation time (which I haven't used yet but it's nice to know it's there). On the other hand, the flip side of those three-day weekends is a forty-hour work week packed into four days combined with a half-hour one-way commute, which doesn't leave me a lot of time during those four days for...anything not work-related.

That was a mildly long-winded way of saying that this post is a collection of reactions to Doctor Who-related things that everyone else has already had a chance to react to.

First of all, the new series Target novelizations were finally released in dead-tree format in the US, hallelujah, and before I share my Feelings I feel obligated to state that I am still working my way through the classic series Target novelizations. It's been slowed down a lot by a) the aforementioned job and b) an influx of books I've felt like I needed to read immediately, but progress is being made. I'm about halfway through Leela's run right now. Next reaction post coming when I finish Four's era.

But anyway the new ones.

( brief thoughts on the four as a whole )



In semi-related news, some Thirteen-related stuff leaked earlier this week, and like a bad fan I immediately hunted it down to see for myself.

And I love her. This is not a surprise, but, oh man, I love her so much. "Sorry, half an hour ago I was a white-haired Scotsman." And I love Officer Khan Yaz to her friends. And Ryan got to say about three words and I don't care I love him. TONGUE! Clever boy. Biology.

I'm serious, here, instant infatuation with all three of them, and "Shame, I'm looking for a Doctor."

I'm not as sold on the new sonic screwdriver design yet, but maybe it'll look better in action -- and Jodie in those goggles is possibly both the cutest and the most Doctor-y thing I've seen in a while.

I assume all of this was meant to be released as SDCC? I feel bad for TPTB that it got leaked early, but not bad enough to not check it out. It's glorious. I want full episodes nowwww./whine



And I guess the last thing to include here is that I just received my copy of Twice Upon A Time on Blu-Ray! But aside from being mildly disappointed in the lackluster bonus features, I don't have a whole lot to say about that. It's an episode I enjoy a lot and I'm glad to have it on Blu-Ray now. ♥

OH GOD I'M IN LOVE

I JUST. *FLAILS MORE*

Holy shit, I think this is the first Tony reaction post I've ever made where tears of joy beat every other reaction.

( cut to spare your flist )

Also, for the Doctor Who fans on my flist who do not care about the Tonys, you missed James Corden on an American stage receiving a Tony Award with a speech that included the line, "She's my baby mama and I can't wait to marry her."
That's right, you missed the opportunity to hear Craig Owens use the phrase "baby mama".

Work hates me and Doctor Who and therefore I've only been able to watch this episode once. This is a TRAGEDY because I want to watch it ALL THE TIME.

WHAT?!

DAMN, SHOW, I MISSED YOU ♥♥♥

THIS IS MY EXCITED CAPSLOCK

So our Internet was down basically all yesterday, but that is completely secondary to the fact that when my brother came home from work he brought a copy of Windows 7 with him and installed it on Sally, my beloved laptop. !!!! I forgive him every bad thing he's ever done to me.

Windows 7 is basically amazing and I am already in love.

I'm still replacing a bunch of programs, mourning the loss of a couple others, and copying files from my EHD backup back onto my internal drive. But this is a necessary part of moving on to a new step in my operating-system life. And it is an awesome new step.

My xkcd book came today! *flails* It is shiny and pretty and signed by Randall and the back art is amazing and I don't understand most of the annotations but the extra drawings are adorable and I LOVE IT. <3 <3

There is also new Sarah Jane, but I haven't gotten it yet. :( I BET IT IS SHINY AND PRETTY, TOO.

...Mostly I am just still gleeful over finally getting my copy of the xkcd book. :D :D :D

So, I have a job.

*glees a lot*

It doesn't start until mid-June and it only runs for ten weeks and the money's not great but it's a JOB. In a REAL THEATER. And it comes with room and board and workers' comp and a gym membership that I probably won't use and the fact that I don't drive, much less have a car, apparently won't matter and they sounded pleased to hear that I'm a geek who likes to hang around other geeks.

*glees and flails and HAS A JOB YO*


[non-job-related posts coming v. soon, I promise. I have a picspam I want to post and a couple memes I want to do and there's Dollhouse tonight, but this post is JOB GLEE, kk.]
