I got the title, one key, and all the service paper work in the mail from my friend letting me stash the car at his house until I could arrange the shipping. It's seriously been the longest couple of weeks of my life! It also snowed about 12 inches at my house just this weekend so it will likely stay garaged for a while. First things are register/inspection then alignment. Then wait until it gets warmer and turn the tires to smoke (for AI glory) and then get some Pilot Super Sports.

I actually rather liked David Tennant, and Peter Capaldi being a bit of an old arsehole hearkens back nicely to William Hartnell and Colin Baker. BTW, have you seen "An Adventure In Space And Time"? Good docudrama on William Hartnell and the beginning of Doctor Who. He apparently (eventually) really cared about the character, the show, and how it affected folks, especially kids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Adventure_in_Space_and_Time

InitialDave posted:I had severe issues with Russell T Davies' horseshit, not least because I've seen what the guy is actually capable of doing for that kind of show (the old kids 3-ep Dark Season), and what he kicked out for Who was just atrocious. And I like Christopher Ecclestone. There was the odd gem like Blink (funnily enough, because it was written by someone else), but the new show just annoyed me into not watching it. For all the cheesiness of the old show, it was a lot more genuine, and I lost faith in ever seeing something like Genesis Of The Daleks. And sweet Jesus, loving Torchwood. You owe it to yourself to at least watch Day of the Doctor and Heaven Sent if you haven't already, easily the peak of their respective Doctors. Time of the Doctor is a nice follow-up to the former, too, and a great capstone on Eleven's run. The show completely changed gears once Moffat took over (he's the one who wrote Blink if you weren't aware).

Bush also called it a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=20424 What a weird tradition, but obviously nothing to call out the Trumpster for I guess.

So I went to get some groceries earlier today and I swore to god that I saw her. And it took me a couple beats to realize it was not her and to remember that she was dead. That shook me up pretty bad, I flagged an employee over, explained I had to leave and apologized for the items in my cart and went to my car where I cried for a bit. I guess I was fooling myself when I said I was gonna be fine from here on out.
