Not even a week in and I have a peeve:

( Spoilers? )

Masterpiece Theater:

David Tenannt hosting the upcoming season.

Seriously? PBS, oh my god, Laura Linney, Gillian Anderson and Alan Cumming and now David Tennant? Ugh, get Tilda Swinton to do a season next.

Yeah, I think ogling the host is now my second favorite thing about Masterpiece Theater, right after Edward Gorey.

My Own Beginning; or, The Doctor Gets A(nother) Reboot, by stellar_dust.

It started in the spaceport bar on Altair 6. The Doctor tended to avoid the Federation period of Earth's history - much more interesting goings-on during the Empire - but it had been a while since he'd checked in on them, and he'd struck up a conversation with the dark-haired Starfleet officer nursing a Saurian brandy in the corner booth.

Starfleet officers, much like UNIT officers, came in two sizes: boring with a side of extra boring, and explosively fascinating. Lieutenant Chekov was shaping up to be one of the interesting ones.

How can you not want to read this? Trust me, it's totally brilliant and if you like either of these shows you'll have a great time.

Oh yeah, real life:

1. I got crappy news today about a friend.

2. But Unemployment's online system seems to think everything's sorted already. I can't imagine how, but I'd be gratified if true.

3. I had a third thing, but I don't remember it. Was it important? Probably not.
