Pfft! Ahhh hahahahaha

Steven Moffat on Twitter to Neil Gaiman: "Ohh, just watched your one again! It's really good, isn't it? And look who it is! LOOK WHO IT IS!!!"

Neil Gaiman on Twitter to Steven Moffat: "each time I watch it I'm more impressed with Matt and Suranne, & less able to believe that you let me get away with it."

And the title is revealed today as.... The Doctor's Wife.

All I can say is, there's better be cocoa involved. There IS a later tweet from Neil saying Hartnell was his first............. but no, I shouldn't even dream of it. Except I WILL! HA!

*Edit: Also, they're still joking about it together. Neil: "So it's definitely "The Doctor's Wig" then? Because "The Doctor's Wilf" reveals that Wilf is the Doctor. #CribbinsSpoiler"*

Also, oh man, this post has some hilarious (possibly spoilery) speculation: http://doctorwhospoilers.com/2011/2011/03/mrs-doctor/

Tanning and Hipsterism

So if I'm not careful, I'm going to BURN this spring. I just did a tan check - I looked at my arms to see how easily I'll burn when it comes time to go to tank tops and swimsuits. Even the backs of my wrists have gone almost as white as my stomach. I mean, at least my arms have *something* (most portuguese bit of me), but the rest is looking very Swedish and I fear it'll show the celtic if I'm not very careful about slowly tanning.

Cause the thing is, I never seem to remember suntan lotion or spread it effectively. Not ever, not even in Costa Rica when I didn't want my family to realize I'd gone out of the country in winter. (I was lucky enough that time that the burn happened on my back where I could cover up any evidence.)

*************
I was giggling my way through Hipster Doctor sites this morning. Just gotta say, though, one of the sites could be a bit more picky about its evidence. If having interests that you're confident that the vast majority of the world won't understand, not only is every Doctor a hipster, but so am I.

Booting Obnoxious Hipster Franny...

Music: Classical, please. What, Mozart? No, he's too mainstream, I like the Russians. Not the Nutcracker, so much, but the Marche Slav or the Lieutenant Kije Suite. I'd describe it, but you probably wouldn't understand.

Major: Physics. One of my favorite seminars was on Bose-Einstein condensates, but the best part was on the superconducting properties of Helium-3, it was amazingly complex....

Art: Oh, modern art is too mainstream. I like Albert Bierstadt. Not only is it gorgeously retro, he's totally ironic because he painted modern buildings out of his seemingly totally realistic images. He even painted Puget Sound before he ever saw it, what a STATEMENT.

TV: I don't watch tv, I use the internet, but I usually don't watch American shows at all. British, of course, they're so much better than what normal people like. Of COURSE I watch Doctor Who, but I watch the old series, it's much more complex than the new stuff. Who's my favorite Doctor? Patrick Troughton of course, there's not much of him but there's so much more TO him, if you know what I mean but you probably don't.

End Obnoxious Hipster Franny

...I could go on, but the fact remains that most of the things I like that aren't mainstream are things that make me NERDY. We have a word for that. It is NERDY. It is a good word, and one of which I'm proud. I wouldn't mind being a hipster too, but really, we need to use a better definition, people.

About Raina

Sometimes I wonder what my cat's thinking. I've mentioned how she follows me everywhere before... I don't think I've said the lengths to which she goes. She comes the moment I start singing or whistling to myself, even if I'm just at the other end of the bed. She's gotten to know the sound of my footsteps, and if I'm wearing shoes that she can hear, she comes as soon as I arrive in the apartment complex. If I want to leave the apartment without her following me but still leaving the window open, I have to sneak out. If I go to the Panera across the street, she comes with me and waits outside until I leave (though she sometimes tries to get people to let her in). I've never met or really heard of a normal cat this loyal. I'd think she was part serval if she wasn't so small.
