Doctor Who Christmas Special– I’m going to have to go with, um, bad. Didn’t enjoy it much at all. Kylie Minogue was flat and The Doctor had too many messianic moments, especially coming off the whole last Series ender. Sill looking forward to the new Series, though.

Stargate: Ark of Truth (waaay early) was awesome. It felt like a comfortable extended episode and I will be buying it as soon as it hits the shelves in March/April.

Ben and Jesse are slated to attend my first ever New Year’s Party, and I hope they do indeed make it down. Hobbit, Istar, and I have already begun planning a menu. If the guys can’t make it down, there will be lots of food to go around.

No, not Christmas wishes. Here’s to a painless recovery for Goober, a Happy Birthday (tomorrow) for Jamie, no more trips to the ER for Scott or Jamie, and a better episode of Heroes tomorrow. I hate Elle. I honestly gave her (and Kristen Bell) a chance, but nope, HATE them both. I wish she would die. Seriously (just the character).

I continue to love Robin Hood. A lot. Some of the cast are rumored to have signed on for Series 3, which is great news. I hate that British shows are so short. The seasons are short and the run of the show is short. With a few exceptions, all the great shows are gone in no time; Spaced and The Office come to mind immediately. I expect we’ll be getting the Doctor Who Christmas special soon, though I haven’t checked out the date yet.

Huge thanks to my Mom, who not only turned my kitchen into a supermarket, but who also turned my wallet into a bank. She’s got magical powers, that one. :love:

Istar’s vet visit went as expected. He’s now a whopping 17lbs. and he received another steroid injection as well as an antibiotic just in case he has a respiratory infection to boot. Too bad he prefers to wear the medicine as to swallow it. Oh well, we’ll keep trying. Hobbit hissed up a fit when he came home, but she seems to be over her little diva stunt….for now.

The Last Two Weeks

Nice Heroes-like title, no?

After a great visit with , , and Jonas (who is just purrrrr-fect), I started to get into the holiday spirit…a little.

I’m finished decorating, which actually consisted of me throwing a few things around. Seriously, I spent about six minutes, total. More importantly, I’m in serious love with Robin Hood. It’s just one of those shows that gets into my soul and I can’t explain why. I know Ben hates it, but I don’t care. I love him, and he loves me, dammit. I love it so much, I made a vid this weekend. It’s a Robin Hood vid with a really beautiful song by Jimmy Eat World. It’s an angsty little thing, and it’s more of an introductory vid, but for those who don’t want any spoilers for Series 2, it’s off limits.

I have a long week ahead including a 12 hour work day Tuesday, a field trip across three states Wednesday, and possibly a trip to the vet on Friday (Istar is having a few asthma attacks again), so if I’m not around, that’s why.

Movies, Personal

stargate02.jpg There was a time when Friday meant Yippee!SGA. Now, I barely remember, “Oh, it’s Friday, SGA is on tonight.” Last night’s episode, “Girl Power” “Missing” is a good reason why. How long were the men in the ep? Four minutes? Maybe? I don’t like Dr. Keller. I don’t hate her, but she has no redeemable qualities. She’s just “there”. Carson, I cared about. This one, nope. Teyla’s pregnant. Ooh, wow. NOT. Unless it’s Ronon’s (it’s not), I’m not interested. Another thing–if you’re going to show any plot about the Athosians, let me see the only one we know, at least in a flashback. Otherwise, it’s a show about missing strangers, and really, who cares about strangers?

Ugly Betty was pretty good. Betty’s fired, but for how long? First half of next episode, I’d bet. Not that I care. Maybe I’m just a bit fussy because there was no Pushing Daisies this week. The Redneck Music Awards were on, and preempting PD with that dreck just made the week that much bleaker.

Next week is going to be cool. I have Monday off, and on Friday I’m going to to see and . I’ll get to meet Jonas for the first time, and we (the humans) are planning to see Beowulf! Hurrah!
