Happy New Year!

[verdantgt]

Here have a pretty RDA for the first day of the new decade. :D

Life is pretty good. I've had some ups and downs, but that's what happens with life. None of my downs were super down and I had friends and family to lift me back up again. I'm very lucky and know that my blessings far outweigh the bad things.

That isn't to say that I don't have things I need to improve on. I have loads of those but I'm pretty happy with where I am.

To start off the new year, I'm going to spend the day writing, surfing and having hoppin' john for lunch. That's right. I'm Southern. *g* Black eyed peas, ham hock and greens. Yummies. Might even make some corn bread in an iron skillet in the oven the way God intended them to be made. :P

I'm also kind of having a bittersweet moment thinking about Ten's last days in Doctor Who. Nine will always be my Doctor but I did love Tennant's take on him as well. While I'm not really looking forward to Moffat's run, that's just my opinion of him, I am looking forward to seeing what Matt Smith is going to do with him.

To everyone on my flist and those that aren't that I RP with and have interacted with in either RP games or prompt communities. Thank you for making me a better writer and giving me back the joy of playing.

Okay, off for some beach time before the stupid rain and cool front hits here.

Surfing. I love you.

Why aren't you looking forward to Moffat? His eps have always been some of my favourites.

When Moffat writes brilliantly, it's brilliant. When he doesn't it's really bad. He didn't write Ten well, imho but that might work for Eleven. He was fantastic with Nine and the only one of Ten's I like was Blink (obviously *g*)

I'll keep an open mind since he's producer and not writer but my expectations aren't very high.

...you didn't like Girl in the Fireplace?

I think I have to defriend you now, I'm sorry.

;p

Ugh, I liked Madame du Pompadour but my problem with that episode was the OOCness of the Doctor, imho. It wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't (as Nine) made a big thing about changing time lines and making someone alive that was meant to be dead. Sure, he'll say that he's a Time Lord and knew what he was doing but to ask someone as historically known as Madame du Pompadour and whisk her away on his TARDIS even if he brought her back an hour after she left it would change so much because she was changed. I would have been perfectly fine with the episode if it had been Jane Q Public instead of such a historic figure.

Wow, you got a dissertation there. :P

See, he's seen enough historical people and had an impact on them that I didn't see that being such a huge impact.

I love your rants.
