Space Cadet

I did... about a year ago. It seems like there's another outbreak of name changes every winter. Maybe the snow makes people restless or something... :thinking: ^If I may ask, why Kite?

I stopped watching completely. :embarassed: I was so attached to Eccleston by the end of the first season that I was pretty upset when I heard he was leaving. I didn't hear anything about the new guy at all, so when the Doctor regenerated and this half-man half-weasel took his place I reacted, well, about the same as Rose did at first. "Can you change back?" Between CBC messing with the schedule and my not really wanting to watch a weasle I ended up missing most of the first half of the next season. And boy did I live to regret that. :uhoh: I missed what became my favorite episodes! (...And Tennant ended up being the biggest fangirl crush I've ever had in my entire life...:blush:) I still think DT looks like a weasel in black leather though- black is so not his colour :lol: Much better in brown. So yeah, it won't do much good to judge the guy before he's in costume (a lot of people are suggesting he should wear a bowler hat :thinking::nice:) acting the part as Moffatt writes it and he's had a chance to settle in a bit. And get some sleep. And yeah, Moffatt is one of the only writers I would say I trust almost completely. He's brilliant, he's a total fanboy, and most importantly, he was saying for months before this that he wanted his Doctor to be old, so if he changed his mind, it must have been for a freakishly good reason.

Well now that I've had a bit of time to get over the shock of it, I honest to goodness think he will be a magnificent Doctor... in about 4 years. For now, he's too young and he needs to cut his hair. (That piece that hangs down in front of his face is bugging me the same way Peter Pettrelli's did. Itchy. :freak:) He does have something very Doctorish about him though, and a very interesting face. Lots behind the eyes, which is important. He sure is wired, though. Hope it's just nerves and insomnia like he said... :stunned: It looks like insomnia- when you can even make out the dark circles under his eyes on youtube, you're talking massive sleep debt. The interview is much easier to get my head round in the extended version of it: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zog-6SrGxE0]YouTube - Extended Matt Smith Interview - Doctor Who Confidential: The Eleventh Doctor - BBC One[/ame] Me too. I think it's finally starting to sink in that he's leaving, and it hurts. :cry: I know, we can all beg DT to stay on for another year, and then the new guy will be a little older and more ready for the role by then. But it won't happen will it. :(

Never heard of him, but oh my word he is sooooo cute. :nice: If half the things Moffatt supposedly said are true, he should be great.

:laugh3::( That's kind of sad. Especially since most of the best actors seem to be British... I don't care beans about his private life. I'm not ready for an ugly doctor who can't act. Anyone following Tennant will have to have a huge range to be able to live up to him. Acting is what makes the old show watchable in spite of the sets costumes and effects. Acting is what keeps the modern show working even when there's a giant cgi steampunk robot stomping on London. Most of these stunt suggestions are just nonsense for headlines that would never work.

And David Morrissey *fingers crossed* Wait, who's Alan Carr? edt: Oh. :worried2:

:stunned: I kind of almost don't want to know.... Hopefully it will finally shut up the tabloids for a while. Except that they'll immediately start speculating about how long the new guy will stick around for.

Good grief. :stunned:

Eh... you joined 2 years after me and still have twice as many posts... :uhoh: :( I guess I just post slow. I'm here every day, I guess I just prefer listening. :hat2:

The Sears' Spring and Summer 2009 catalog came out nearly a month ago. :uhoh:

Almost to 4500... almost to 4500... :dance: And would someone please tell this stupid blizzard to stop blizzarding. It's been snowing for 28 hours straight now. :stunned:

Yay! The ninja thread is back! :dance: I can't believe it's been over a year. :surprised: Any new ninjas out there?

Heh... we take old keyboards apart in class at school. The newer ones with the gel sheets in them are kind of weird. It's fun.

That's quite something. Good luck sleeping tonight.... I'd be bouncing off the walls all night if I slept in past about 1 or 2 pm. Ooh... food poisoning. Not fun. :sick: :(

50-50 for the touch pad on a laptop, and a wired optical mouse at a desktop. Some days I use the laptop a little more, others the desktop depending on what other people are using. It took a while to get really good at the touch pad, but I quite like it. I really don't get why everyone else hates it so much. :inquisitive: It's so intuitive.

P.S. If the storm gets me and the power goes out, see you all eventually... Happy New Year indeed. Why can't we be more sensible like the Australians and have it in summer?

:dance::dance::dance: Happy New Year!!! :dance::dance::dance:

^:lol:

MoMo? Seriously? :inquisitive::\

Happy New Year to all the Brits still out there. :D

Holy shiz... :stunned: point well taken. None of those actors actually look like that- they've all been photoshopped- alot. I'll leave the bubbleheaded "beauty queens" out of this statement because well, they're idiots who only like who they're told to, but the sad thing about it is that in my experience most girls go more for the geeky beanpole types who can carry on a real conversation than that silly musclebound stereotype being thrown around at the moment.

It won't stop most people around here. I think a lot of them are making plans to stay out overnight so they don't have to worry about getting home. Goodness, parking is going to be a nightmare with the overnight parking ban in place. Me? Hurricane force winds, whiteout conditions, heavy snow, and more likely than not lots of power outages... not my idea of fun. (Which reminds me I should charge my mp3 player and cell phone just in case it's out for a couple of days...) But I didn't have any plans anyway since I don't really drink and my friends who normally plan things have moved away. :( *sigh* *looks up Fahrenheit* 80 (27C) is about my favorite temperature. :nice: The only time my feet are ever not cold. 90 (32 C) or more and I'm sort of useless... but we don't have any air conditioning anywhere except at the mall. :thinking: I once walked about 6 miles when it was about 98 here after I missed a bus...

"With night-time temperatures set to plunge below zero in many regions across the country tonight, a lot of revellers are expected to stay indoors." :laugh3: WIMPS!!! :P -5 at the lowest. Good grief, it's the end of the world. You can't possibly go out in that. You might actually get a little tiny bit cold. :thinking: ... Heh...meanwhile, we're getting another proper full-blown blizzard tonight. Probably lose power again. Hopefully not for too long this time. :dozey:

Well, I can't believe I'm agreeing with anything the Daily Male (:rolleyes:) says, but as a happy, relatively healthy, and surprisingly skinny size 12/13/14-ish, I have to agree with that. Why? Because people who eat what they want (in moderation) like full-fat ice cream and don't worry about weight are going to be happier since fat makes your brain produce it's happy chemicals. Plus, eating real food properly makes you feel full faster, so your weight balances out since you're eating less but feeling more content about it. If you eat healthy and stay active what does size matter anyway? They're arbitrary guidelines set up by stores and labels, and they're slightly different everywhere. I have a friend who is a literal size 0 but she comes by it naturally. She's just tiny- barely more than 5 feet tall with an incredible metabolism. I'm quite tall- 5'8". I could go completely anorexic and never make it below a size 6 or so because I'm just built big. I'd probably have to have ribs removed to get anywhere near the "ideal". And yet this stupid size obsession judges me and my friend on the same scale. It's madness I tells ya! :mad:
