See my icon? *points to screamingly frustrated Dr. Joel* This would have been my reaction had I not had a sinus headache at the end of Dr. Who last night. Not necessarily because it was the first of a 2-parter. That would have left me screaming, yes. BUT ( Read more... )

Well, then. I think I can finally sit down and share with you the long version of events. Then I'll answer in a separate post whitemartyr's question regarding the on-stage loss of a skirt.

So. I went to my mom and dad's dentist today. It was amusing how excited they were to have me, and to find out that I used to go to that office before I got married ( Read more... )
