Cats first.
The state of my lap as I sampled my tea
Rookie wants his fandom to know that he fits in his grandpa’s box
Today’s sample tea is Mincing Lane Breakfast Blend.
This tea? Means business. Fills up the mouth, tastes a little malty but not overwhelmingly so, with a dash of pepper. I like it. In the bodrum cup it’s red. Really red.
A keeper.

Today is . . . Wednesday? (This. Week.) Sunny and cool. Errands on the agenda. I need to hit the PO Lobby (It’s Veteran’s day — oh, wait. It is Veteran’s Day. There’s a parade, which means streets downtown will be blocked off. Maybe PO tomorrow. *Adjusts list*)
So! Need to hit the grocery store, then? We’ll see. As I type this, I am leaning toward attempting Salem. My back doesn’t hurt at all at the moment, which probably means the drugs are still working, because honestly? That never happens. I am a little rocky, which — ditto. The cats are thinking that I should take a nap with them, which is a habit they adapted to very quickly, but — groceries first. Maybe a nap after I get home.
I’ve been getting a lot of Doctor Who reels in my feed lately, which — fair enough. I am Ignorant of many things Doctor. Anyhow, I have Questions.
Question One: Each regeneration gives us a “new” Doctor, some of whom are observably more demented than the others. In particular, given my sampling of clips, the fellow with the big ears — Matt Smith — is much crazier than Peter Capaldi, who, in comparison, seems quite normal. Why so much difference?
Question Two: Is it worth my time trying to track down the River Song arc?
And on that note, with Firefly napping on the comfy chair in my office, which is now flooded with sunshine and Rookie retired to Steve’s office (what a work ethic that cat has!), I’d best hit the grocery store.
What are you doing today?
The crazy goes way back to the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker, with very long scarf) and was carried on by the Fifth, Peter Davidson (white suit with orange piping and a sprig of ?beans?), then fizzy-haired Colin Baker in rainbow kit (no. 6). It really resurfaced with frantic David Tennant (10), a great favourite, though they didn’t express it in the costume at that point. The River Song arc is definitely worth the time.
