Doctor Donna
Greetings:
Finally finished season four of Doctor Who. Cried my eyes out. I usually don't cry over Doctor Who, but this season was just a tear jerker for me almost every stinkin' episode! ALL THIRTEEN OF THEM! It's not even that the plots were that sad, but the back story, 'what might have been' or the possible psychological fallout would get to me and I would start tearing up. And the final! I actually had to pull out kleenex for that sucker. So not fair. I won't spoil plots, but seriously NOT FAIR!!! Arg. I loved it, every episode, but golly, I feel like I must be hormonal or something because of how much I been crying over a bloomin' television show!!!
On the other side, I loved all the foreshadowing! I caught more of it this time then usual. Maybe they made it more obvious for the dunderheads or something. The lines were brilliant and places were fun! I love Donna. A lot of people were complaining about her as the Doctor's companion this season, but I thought she was marvelous! Her character was loads of fun and wonderful. I noticed that the complaints were all for very shallow reasons, i.e. not young enough, not pretty enough, etc etc. What bogus. Donna Noble may not have been as svelte as some previous companions but who cares?! She was wonderfully and gloriously real and flawed and just what the Doctor needed! There. I'm getting off of the soapbox, but it's still out, and I'm ready to climb back up at a moments notice.
My cell phone contract is just about up, so I've been looking at possible new phones. Some of them are way awesome. I played with an iPhone today. *drools* Way to expensive, but still a lot of fun. Really fun. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a phone on my own and take it to my service provider, or pick a phone from their crummy selection.
I shouldn't say crummy selection. The choices aren't that bad, they just don't really have anything that speaks to me, and they're all older models from last year or the year before. Wow, how picky and snobby does that sound?! However, I figure if I have to latch yet another piece of technology to my daily life and become dependent on it, I want it to at least be all the things I am looking for, but not cost more than what I have now. Almost impossible, but I haven't given in yet.
Mads hasn't cleaned Joey in eons. He's starting to smell. Poor little Chinese desert rat. In spite of the fact that he's mostly her pet, I think that I will take pity on the poor creature and clean his environment. Nobody should have to live like that. It's just gross. And I'll tell Mads that. After I get the little fellow some fresh shavings and clean water!
I failed at reading Eclipse super slow. After I got back, as you all know, my laptop was busted. Suddenly, I had more free time. Bam! I finished the book in a day. Twice. *hangs head* I have no self control. Now I'll have nothing to stave off the feelings of withdrawal while everyone else reads Breaking Dawn.
