After 10 days of travel all over the place and very (VERY) little sleep- between weddings and snoring relatives and one of those fun nights out that ends up with a friend drunk and sobbing into a toilet until 3:30 in the morning- I finally returned to New York late last night to faceplant into my bed. I am really glad to be back home, and work should be mercifully quiet this week.


In fannish stuff, I still have a pretty insane amount of Yuletide to get through though. I think I'm going to hold off on a recs post until I finish- damn me and my completist tendencies!


I did watch the DW Christmas Special. Possibly because I am not super familiar with David Morrissey, I found his Doctor persona to be a little smug and irritating actually. Though as Jackson Lake he was a lot more likeable. As for the rest of it, it was enjoyable if not really memorable. I don't really have much to say other than I'll miss Tennant and I already miss Donna. (DONNA I LOVE YOU.)


I also fianlly managed to make myself watch the SGA finale. It was a pretty run of the mill episode, and overall I have to say this show ended not with a bang but a whimper. On the plus side, there was some nice team stuff, Todd was hilarious as usual, and there wasn't as much McKeller as I was dreading.

On the other hand, how EPICALLY FUCKING LAME was it that they ended up back in Earth?? I don't know about you, but that is the major reason why I will be pretending this episode never happened. Also, John is alone with only his wraith ex-boyfriend to keep him company. D: *pets John*


PS. I finally got your card, krazykipper! Thank you! It was lovely! ♥ (And yes you did spell my name right. :)

Yay! And only a few days late!

I should do a recs post. But when is there time for these things??

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

Since I was gone, I wouldn't have gotten it until yesterday anyway! :)

Yeah, I'm hoping to get the time this weekend, but I always say that and it never quite happens...

Thanks for coming out...at least the first part of the night was fun. And drunken CVS-ing! I miss you already!

It was fun. Any night out that ends differently than I expected is okay with me. I just wish I'd gotten to be earlier. :)

I MISS YOU TOO.

Welcome home! (er, not that I live in New York or your place, but you know what I mean!)

I'm so going to miss DT too, so badly! I really liked David Morrissey once I realised he wasn't ever/wasn't going to be a Doctor incarnation :-D Mainly I liked Dervla Kirwan when she was all black-eyed and with the cyberman headdress - I attempted to recreate this for my friends later with a metal coaster-holder rack.

Thank you! Really glad to be back!

I agree, he was a lot more likeable once that was revealed and he started shedding DT's mannerisms.

AHAHA. Are there pictures?

Thankfully no! :-D

They should've let episode 5x19 be the final of the show. It at least did them justice...

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree. The last episode just left a bad taste in my mouth.
