the world is sleeping, i am numb

Okay, it is one thing to have to go to work on the day after Christmas, but it another thing entirely to actually have a bunch of stuff to do. :p

I tried my luck at downloading the Doctor Who Christmas special, but no dice. I'll try again tonight, and otherwise I guess I'll just have to wait it out. Boooo. I'm working tonight, hopefully hanging out with Aster tomorrow night, and my sister is supposed to come visit Thursday night. And then! Three whole blissful days off from Saturday-Monday. Still don't have any New Year's plans to speak of, but hopefully something will crop up. If nothing else, there are always fireworks and creepy mimes down by the docks.

Also! Happy birthday, _jems_! I hope you're having fun!

for someone such as myself who has a decent amount of TV overlap with someone such as yourself, do you think i might enjoy doctor who?

(don't hit me but i'd never even heard of it until recently. i'm not a huge sci-fi person. i love battlestar galactica and almost loved torchwood. i used to love shows like quantum leap and...that's all i can think of right now.)

I think you should at least give it a try. It's way better than Torchwood ended up being, so if you almost loved that you probably will love DW. The sci-fi often lands on the campy side, but the humor and the characters make up for it. Plus Captain Jack is a million times more awesome on DW than what I've seen of him on Torchwood. :p And the great thing about the new series is that you don't really need to even know anything about the old stuff to dive in, because I'd never seen any Doctor Who at all before I started watching the new stuff, and I ended up really loving it.

The beginning of the first series started out a little slow for me, but if you can stick it out to episode 8 or so, the last run of episodes are really good.
