Brrrr. I guess this sudden cold snap is nature's way of making up for the week of 80s we just had, huh? *shivers* Too bad it had to happen for Easter; people who bought new Easter dresses made out of skimpy material with short sleeves are going to be Put Out come Sunday, I think.

So...apparently the new Doctor Who season started? Hmmm. I'm not sure whether to watch. The idea of watching it all at the end is attractive. Mostly, I'm still a bit pissed off at how last season ended (misogyny for all!), and just not interested in seeing any more of it. The more Old Who I saw, the less I liked the new version, and "Doomsday" really did a number on my appreciation for anything connected with RTD.

I think I've become more monogamous (if serially so) over the years in regards to fandom as well. I used to be able to juggle a half a dozen different ones, even if they were all airing at the same time, and now I'm like, "Eh, Who. Hey, more due South fic!" Possibly this is compounded by actually being in the process of writing fic for that show... But yes, now it's like I can have one full-time fandom (watching/reading source, reading fic, writing fic), one or two where I just pay attention to the source and nothing else, and then maybe one more where I'm just casually reading fic. I suppose now that BSG's over for the season, Who could be my "just the source" fandom...

Apropos of nothing: [livejournal.com profile] alto2, I finally started A Passage to India this week. Mmmm, so good. Well, good through the first third, anyway. That's as far as I've gotten just reading it at lunch and for a few minutes before bed. I'm both glad and not glad that I read Orwell's Burmese Days last year for British Empire; glad because I have a more thorough understanding of certain words and concepts referenced here, and not so because I have a feeling I know how this one's going to end.

I'll probably finish it this weekend, because I have tomorrow off! Yay!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. You're funny. RTD's idea of "grown up" is the companion wailing on a beach, remember?

I can see a whole generation of anti-Rusty Whovians, uniting under a battle cry of "NORRRRRWAAAAAAAY!!!!!"

Except, wait, that would require Who fans to *agree* on something....

Awww. I like Doctor/Jack, if only because I think Jack is mature enough to understand that it could never last.

Eh, DW!Jack could maaaaaybe manage that. But TW!Jack would be all, "EMOOOOOOOOOO!!!! *cough* I mean, uh, "temporary," yes. Observe my adult maturity. [pause] EMOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Evil person...

You know you needed more gun-toting space rhinos in your life.
