MATT SMITH IS ELEVEN FTW!!!

I haven't seen the Confidential yet -my sisters taped it, luckily- but that will change in half an hour or so.

I'm really pleased it's him! I had noticed him in The Ruby in the Smoke as a really cute and shy guy and I think he will be a delightful doctor. Who's with me ( Read more... )

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful kick-off for the new year. May 2009 bring you everything you lacked in 2008 and possibly even more.

I had a great time yesterday night with some friends, but I also find myself to be ill on the very first day of the new year. Oh, the irony!

I sort of forgot it in the midst of the Christmas celebrations, but today I suddenly remembered it again. Harold Pinter, in my opinion one of the more brilliant playwrights of the last fifty years, died at 78 on Christmas Eve ( Read more... )

As I'm sitting lying on the couch with my laptop in my -well- lap, my dad has just hit a Buffy episode while he was flipping through the television channels ( Read more... )

Since I'm head over heels with Penelope, which I just finished watching, the last post about my happy meme will revolve around it.

I love it! Luv luv luuuuuuuv it, that is. I love everything about it, from the actors to the sets to Penelope's outfits (which are *gasp* to die for!), to the story to ( Read more... )

My penultimate post about happy things. I think I've never been a more regular poster than this week.

Things that made me happy today (part six)

* Having my third glass of mulled wine in three days, which makes everything just a tad more Christmassy.

* I saw this video about bulldozer ballet (yeah, that's right, bulldozer ballet) and I'm a ( Read more... )

Because internet decided to be a jerk yesterday, today's happy meme includes moments of yesterday as well.

Things that made me happy today and yesterday (part five)* Singing with the ad hoc choir at our college during the Christmas festivities was so much fun. Everyone was really enthusiastic and full of praise, so well done there ( Read more... )

Things that made me happy today (part four)* Hurray for contract renewal! So, basically, what's going to happen is this: the girl that started working at the college around the same time as I did and who taught more or less the same courses as I did, has had enough and they want me to replace her. She was supposed to be substituting until April, so ( Read more... )
