Eight is wearing a frock coat and on a motorcycle: Your argument is invalid
So Steel and I enticed our friend Thee over with promises of baked goods and compost and had him bring the infamous American Doctor Who movie starring the eighth Doctor. It was...surprisingly not as terrible as everyone says it is. Don't get me wrong: Eric Roberts as the Master is awful in too many ways to contemplate (seriously), the plot didn't really make much sense, and it was very Hollywood with chases and kissing and cheese.
BUT, Doctor Who plots never make sense anyway, the Eighth Doctor is all sorts of adorable, the companion is feisty and smart and doesn't fawn all over the Doctor (despite said kissing), and the TARDIS sets were AMAZING. Eight wears a frock coat and is kind of foppish, and is a charming klepto who just sort of squees at the world and tempts people with jelly babies. He was fun. We liked him. I should read some of the Eight books, especially that one that won an award.
Also, everyone has probably seen this already, but this DW vid is hysterical and awesome and made of win:
Tenth Doctor: The Musical!
All the recurring music motifs cracked me up, and I love the framing device. If you haven't seen it, you should totally go watch it (and leave them a comment!).
So my replacement started on Thursday, which means *in theory* I should only be working one job now. Whether that will actually happen or not is sort of up in the air, and I'm completely freaking out because I am already behind on some important things and I don't want my new boss to start off thinking I'm incompetent. However, I really can't work for my old boss, work for my other old boss, train my replacement, set up my new workspace and work for my new boss all at the same time. Especially since I've been sick for a week and am currently on an antibiotic and steroid cocktail that still hasn't fixed me. My lungs hurt! And I had to work most of the day Saturday, both at an event, and at home which kind of blew. BUT HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL BE GETTING BETTER FROM NOW ON. We shall see. I've had a black dog problem lately but hopefully the dog will let up once some of the job pressure is off. Who knows. :( I'm so bad at controlling it that it's always a random guess at what's going on anyway.
On the good side though, I got to hang out with CG yesterday who I haven't seen in forever. (We made turtles and had sushi!) and then there was movie night with Steel and Thee today, so I get points for socializing this weekend.
And on a final note, one important lesson I learned recently: letting someone bite you harder than you like as a point of pride ("I can take it!") just because the lady in question is used to partners that are into that is just stupid. I had bruises for like, a week and it wasn't in a good way. Silly Circe. I totally really truly am going to try to start dating again. I know I've been saying that for a while (and just sleeping with random friends instead) but I actually do want to, and as an extra motivator Steel totally has someone now and I don't want to be left behind! Which, again is a totally silly reason, but I really do need to get on that.
Ugh, sleep now. I think I might have accidentally taken an extra pill of something, I feel all woozy. Did I mention the antibiotic is a downer and the steroid is an upper? Fun times.
