(no subject)

I am very sleepy right now, but I just wanted to say, Girl in the Fireplace? Is so much more tolerable if you a. are tipsy, and b. have a sympathetic friend to rant to.

Went over to velesia's tonight. First I told her about the Open Source Boob Project and we had a mutual rant about how clueless men are, then we talked a bit about other things, and then we watched S2 of Doctor Who, New Earth through Girl in the Fireplace.

I'm not really that much of a drinker, so one beer lasted me through School Reunion, but it wasn't that late and she was all right with watching another episode, so I decided that if I was going to sit through Girl in the Fireplace, I was going to do it with alcohol. Vel made me a pretty strong screwdriver, which lasted until the snogging scene, and then she gave me the rest of her screwdriver, which lasted until the mind-meld scene. So I had a beer and two screwdrivers, and I mentioned every major thing that bugged me about this episode, and was able to end the evening still in a very good mood.

I am very sleepy though. I think I'm going to zonk out when I finish this post.

She liked School Reunion best of the four, which made me happy, because I do too. And she disliked Girl in the Fireplace, and I'm pretty sure on its own merits (or lack thereof), rather than my influence, so I'm glad for that. And she agreed with me on Tooth and Claw too (specifically, that parts of it are totally wince-worthy), which also makes me happy, since I don't see that many people agreeing with me on Tooth and Claw--mostly I just see people loving it, and I...rather don't.

And we both kept squeeing about how sexy David Tennant was, but, you know, that's sort of a given. *g*

She also read what I have so far of my Parting of the Ways essay, and really liked it, which is another thing that makes me happy. I am such an English major, and I love this essay.

Also, there was an earthquake! Seriously, real earthquake. There have been several earthquakes in the past week or so, but none of them big enough for me to really notice--mostly I only knew there was an earthquake because my parents would ask if I felt it. But with this one, the ground really shook, and Vel and I went to stand under doors, and though it wasn't bad enough for things to fall over, it was...definitely noticeable. This is odd, because I've lived in this area nearly my whole life, and I can't recall another earthquake around here of that magnitude.

Now I'm really tired, and I'm going to bed. New Doctor Who and remixredux08 reveal tomorrow!
