Catherine Tate is irritating the crap out of me. Really.
(Okay. I just really miss Martha Jones).
There was a T.S. Eliot quote in Doctor Who this week.
Absolutely loved it!
I don't want to say too much, but it was brilliant.
But Doctor, when are you going to snog Martha? I'm waiting with baited breath!
I love when Russell T. Davies writes the Doctor Who episodes. It's not that I don't like the other writers, I just like him a lot better. Last week's "Gridlocked" was one of the best episodes in quite some time and I wanted to know if there were any other people who enjoyed the episode like I did.
I think Father Ted was in it as Brannigan? Can anyone confirm or deny?
My mom also deserves a prize for guessing the last words of The Face of Boe. She called it last season in "New Earth". I haven't told her yet, so we'll probably watch it together tonight. She's got to get caught up with the Shakespeare Code and Gridlocked.
OMG The Shakespeare Code! How good (if cheesy) was that episode! I loved the guy who played Shakespeare. He was really good, and he kept trying to get into Martha's pants! Horny Shakespeare! Bi-Sexual Shakespeare! Loves it!
What did you think?
The last two episodes of Doctor Who have been amazing, but before I continue, is anyone else watching it on the UK schedule? I'd hate to start talking about it and spoil it for anyone.
24 hours and a lot of cursing later, I had the first episode of Doctor Who season 3!
It was so worth the wait!
The episode was great, I love Martha Jones. She's got her own thing going on! I miss Rose, but I could only take her chavtasticness sooo much. Intergalactic police rhinos! Blood sucking assimilating aliens! Rain raining upwards! The Doctor's large and hairy feet!
It was sooooo good. bring on Shakespeare and hurry up with Captain Jack Harkness already!
(Someone mentioned that I should be checking into Torchwood. Any watchers? Is it even any good? Y/N?)
Doctor Who this Saturday! At least for you lovely UK'ers.
I have to wait until Sunday morning to download it, but I'm so excited! In addition to being a google-eyed freak, I'm also a sci-fi nerd =P I can't wait to see the Doctor and Miss Jones' interaction with each other! Will those mofo Daleks show up? (sick of them like whoa!). Where is the Doctor going to be going this season? Will the Doctor be getting some booty? I really can't handle UST, honestly. Just do it, and get it over with SERIOUSLY. and Captain Jack is coming back this season! WHOOOOO HOOOOOOO!
Ok. That was enough nerding out for the week. If I mysteriously vanish, you can find me and my G4 curled up in bed with some snacks, watching the Doctor.
Is waking up and leaving Skelmersdale.
I don't remember the train ride into Derby to visit Janey. I do know that I actually got some sweet, sweet sleep. Before I knew it, I was in Derbyshire and meeting up with Janey and Dean! Jane is one of my oldest UT friends, and it was so great to finally meet her. She's so wee! Dean was very nice - they've recently married (by recently, I mean a little over a year or two ago) and have just gotten a new house so I was very excited. For those of you who are fans of a British Sitcom called "My Family" you're in for a treat. Dean and Janey live down the street from lead actor Robert
Lindsay's dad Norman! I waved hello to Robert Lindsay's dad, he looked very confused and went back in his house.
Janey and Dean took me back to their very cute little house and made me sammiches and tea. This is where I become a full fledged fan of British Tea. I must have drank 30 cups (it felt like!) of delicious tea. Two sugars. Big steaming mug. Delicous. I also loved how we all stood around and Jane and Dean rolled their own cigarettes! It was definately an "Oh Snap" moment, and I almost started to miss my grandpa a bit. I only see people roll their own when I'm visiting relatives down South. I met her oldest son Liam, who showed me his coin collection, and even had a US dollar that he was very proud to show me. I sent him a $5 in the goody box I sent them when I got home. Janey wanted to show me the town and I was very excited to go!
Ilkeston like all of England, is very green and quaint. Janey and I did what all girls like to do: went shopping. She needed to return a shirt and I was in the mood to find some flip-flops. Janey found what she wanted, I didn't but I got some gummy bears out of the deal! (or jelly babies, I won't be particular) Ooh! I also got some cheap socks out of this sporting goods store that was going out of business. Janey then presented me with a Union Flag thong, in honor of
England (which she suggested I wear to Flib's house --cheeky!). On the way back I saw this giant courgette (zucchini)
that I wanted to bring home to show to everyone, but alas, I know customs wouldn't have let me back with it. :(
We went back to Janey's for more tea and to decide on what we wanted for dinner. They had an awesome stovetop at their house that I was itching to cook on, but remembering that I was on vacation, I held myself back. We called Dead and made him decide for us, while we drank tea and watched "My Family".
They have the cutest dog, called Frodo and he really is sweet. He likes chocolate (!) so I was feeding him Minstrel's while we watched TV.
Dean came home as did Jane's youngest, Drew. Nanny (Jane's mom) came over and off we went to The Festival Inn for dinner. It's like a gastropub, but more family oriented. It was a lot of fun, especially when it rained! Real rain, not So. Cal drizzle. I mean thunder and lightening and the kids were laughing at me so hard over the expression on my face when it started! We went back home after dinner and popped in Doctor Who and drank tea and it was a very, very chill night. The next day I would be off to Newcastle and to Flib's and then back home. I didn't want it to end.
Thanks Jane, Dean, Liam and Drew!
