Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

I love the new Dr. Who. I am so so glad to finally be rid of Davies and the hack-job he did to Tenant. I think what I love best about Moffat is how he can make the Doctor deliver some powerful lines without making them EPIC and SCREAMING and OMG I AM BEING BADASS. Eleven basically gave Ten's classic IMMA FUCK YOU UP speech in an equally threatening manner without ridiculously ANGRY expressions or growling. I will say that Davies is incredibly creative, but Moffat has the true talent for build-up and execution so that things are exciting and dark without being overly emotionally charged. I also enjoy the distinct lack of cheese factor. I wish Moffat could bring back The Master and do him right. But in the meantime, I'm enjoying Eleven and his specialness. And d'aww his bow tie is just too adorable.

Let's play the bad news/good news game since I'm bummed out of my so-far two days of computerless misery.

Good News:

How is it that both Naruto and Geass release the crackiest crack that ever cracked on the days that I'm not around to properly squeal about them? That's just not fair. I mean, stripping Zero = L-fucking-OL in every possible way. And AU highschool bad boy Naruto is only a notch below that when it comes to the kill me with laughter ability. I do hope those Geass episode dates they're tossing around are official, even if they are in at the END OF JULY. The agony.

Saw Blood Diamond and Ghost Rider. The best part about the latter was Sam Elliot. Actually, that's about all I can say about that movie since I all but fell asleep. Blood Diamond was a disturbing piece, particularly with the child soldiers. But I really enjoyed the ambiguity of Leonardo DiCaprio's smuggler character, in that circumstances were the only things that ever affected his decisions. All the way up to the end. I'm grateful to see a movie that doesn't rely on cliches and antiheroes but really explores people as people. I also loved his South African accent. Yeah yeah?

Bad News:

Typing on this computer is physically painful because of the position I have to put it in. I had hoped to have a solution by yesterday, but that was not the case. I'm not sure how much backache I'm willing to trade for Netting pleasures. It's definitely a distraction. Boss says he might have something in a few days. But that's the main reason I've been avoiding the Net lately. It's too damn difficult to use the computer.

I wanted to go see Tom this weekend but with his aversion to me coming over on Saturdays and my having an assignment Monday afternoon, I'm not sure how the two are going to mesh. He promises us Doctor Who fun, even though a certain EVIL being who shall remain nameless spoiled the major stuff for me while we were watching the fireworks. To be fair, the wicked IRC channel spoiled most of the Master stuff as well. But if I can convince Tom to give me Saturday, I might have to make a choice that will irk me far more than it should. Ah the perils of being part of a group.

The weeds are returning to my garden. I need mulch.


ETA: First ow. Second, so the dates are confirmed. And third, grr snarl my beautiful phone conversation. ;_; At least it can still be tragic and bittersweet on Lelouch's part. Also, GameFAQs is right, why the hell do the magazines always imply Lelouch will point a gun at Suzaku? He knows Suzaku will just dodge it. Sigh.
