Ahhhhh. Bill Clinton on The Daily Show = Best Thing Ever! I still think he's awesome. He's brilliant and articulate - he gets policy and politics and he actually ENJOYS it. It would drive me nuts in minutes but he thrives on discussing these things. To listen to him talk on an issue makes me feel like I have a greater understanding of it. Awwww, I miss the Clinton days.

In other news, I've been having too much fun with [livejournal.com profile] balmyone. We finished our Doctor Who marathon and I am now thoroughly addicted. Martha really didn't grow on me much (though she was awesome in The Shakespeare Code), but Donna was frickin' awesome. She was prickly and tough in The Runaway Bride, but 5 minutes into Partners in Crime I was thrilled to have her back. That reunion scene is by far my favorite scene of the whole series. So, uh, yeah. Rose is still my favorite (and my OTP), but Donna is awesome. As for Journey's End...I really don't know what to say about that. It's still too painful and confusing, so I'm just gonna dwell on happier times. And read lots and lots of fic. ;) Oh, yes, have I mentioned my new David Tennant obsession? He's dreeeeamy. Hehe. (gawd, I'm such a fangirl)

AND, I made art. :D For whatever reason, this sparked the muse and I not only made a wallpaper, it's a manip wallpaper. I was reading this Alt!Ten/Rose fic entitled "Journey's Beginning" aaaaaand, I was inspired by a few scenes. One in particular I hooked onto even though it was the most challenging to manip - both of them fully clothed in a hot spring. Gaaaah! Did not realize how hard it would be to make "dry" clothing look wet. So, I failed a bit in that sense, but otherwise I'm really proud of it. LOOK ERIN I CAN MANIP! *LOL* Your lovely manips inspired me.

So I suppose I'd have to read the fic to understand why they're standing in water fully clothed. *g* Looks gorgeous, I love the dreamy colours.

What ever will we do without Rose OR Donna? *sigh*

*LOL* Yes, you really would. Let's just say they fell in. It actually wasn't even a particularly good part of the fic (soooo forseeable), but for some reason the muse picked that to manip, and I was helpless.

What ever will we do without Rose OR Donna? *sigh*

I knowwwww! I'm trying not to think about it. I never really got over Doomsday, and I fear the same thing happened here. I don't know how much more I can deny in my head ;)

"LOOK ERIN I CAN MANIP! *LOL* "

I see! and I love it *g*... the colors are beautiful. Makes me want to go read the story behind it ;)

Nice to hear your muse has been sparked... hope that means there will be even more art to follow :D

Awww thank you! The fic kinda slacked off at the end, but I rather enjoyed the beginning of it - brought me to terms with the way they left us hanging.

And yes, who knows where she has been, but I sure hope the muse will stick around for a while.

OMG, I LOVE David Tennant. For a while there, nobody was sure if he was going to sign on for a third season, but he is now! I just love his Doctor Who. He's so crazy and fun and fearless. Rose is sdefinitely my favorite companion, too, and I just can't understand why anyone would want to leave that show, but then I'm a huge SF fan and have always loved Doctor Who. Donna rocks, though. Martha was kinda boring, imo.

My favorite episode is Blink (scary!), and my favorite line from an episode is, Little Girl: "What do monsters have nightmares about?" Doctor Who: "ME!!"

Heee! OMG, I can't IMAGINE having someone replace David Tennant as the Doctor. I liked 9 quite a bit but Tennant's Doctor is absolutely genius.

I have so many favorites I can't possibly list them all, but if I had to, I'd probably say the Impossible Planet/Satan Pit duo. But Blink was bloody BRILLIANT, as was Midnight for the sheer creep-out factor. New Earth, Love and Monsters, and Fear Her never fail to put a smile on my face, as does Partners In Crime. The Master and the Daleks vie for favorite villain. Gah, there's just too much to love.
