I should be thrilled about today's episode of Who, but right now, I feel that this and the two regeneration specials are simply things to be gotten over with before the fun begins again.

The early word from my flist isn't good (the bits before the cut-tag.)

From what I've been reading, it's what I expected - really rather good right up to the point where it gets unmistakeably awful.

Doctor Who is an unconventional hero, not an antihero. Apparently this message has been lost.

ETA: I do intend to watch it. But I also intend to be test-knitting a mobius strip at the same time. I want to leave the hour with something accomplished that I'll find worthwhile in my life.

Aha! I'll test-drive the new tatting shuttles I got yesterday. (My first shuttle keeps fanging me with the point. I got one made of bone, another plastic one without the pronounced point, and I forget the other two. Also a metal ball to hold the roll of thread.)

I almost got into tatting just because I saw a display of fancy shuttles. They can be beautiful things. (But I also know from the fanging - I've got some lovely knitting needles that are vicious little bastards. Beautiful, but a ninja should own them.)

We have one knife in the rack that was always known as the vampire breadknife, because every time you used it it had to draw blood. Very Japanese...
