Wandering through E-Space

D.W.Q.M.: "It was your instincts and intuition against my logic, and you succeeded." -the First Doctor, to Barbara I was reading an interesting post over at Torchwood.TV by Raxacoricofallapatorius, which got me thinking... ...would Torchwood make it over here in the U.S.? Where would it air? Actually, I had been thinking about that since I saw the first couple of episodes, Everything Changes and Day One . We had been warned about the swearing so much that I was expecting F-bombs to be dropped every other line. When it finally did happen, it was in such a setting that if this were a real life situation, yeah, I'd expect to hear F-bombs being dropped. Not family friendly, but not so outrageous that you're gonna say, 'Oh come, on! Enough already!!'. And then there was the talk about sex in episode two-actually, I didn't know what to expect, and I have to admit, I was taken slightly aback (me still being quite naive about watching such things), but again, ...

D.W.Q.M.: "You've redecorated!" -Sarah Jane Smith ...when my apartment has become a jungle of Christmas boxes, stuffed with decorations, just waiting to be let out! I think I've already knocked my ankles up at least 20 times...I'll be seeing bruising soon, I'm sure. Yesterday afternoon, my bed was loaded with boxes, and I was relaxing in the living room when I heard my cell phone go off in my bedroom. Making a mad dash, I discovered that the easiest path to my phone was across my bed-so I jumped across it, landing with a soft *thud*, amazed that I hadn't disturbed my boxes much...although a couple had fallen on top of me. *ow!* (the call was from my sister-she wanted to make sure I brought my Favre jersey with me to MN-the Packers are playing the Vikings on the 21st!) You know, it's really hard to get in the mood to decorate for Christmas when the weather is warm and sunny, the windows are open, and I can hear birds chirping outside. God forbid I ever...

D.W.Q.M.: "...why am I thinking of food?" -the Second Doctor Even though the day is almost over, and those of us who are crazy enough to get up and do some early doorbuster shopping tomorrow are probably in bed (well, except for me ;) ), I'd still like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Krismutt Pie

D.W.Q.M.: "Carrot juice, carrot juice..." -the Sixth Doctor I've been meaning to post my progress on our Look and Feel Fantastic Plan that Shar and I started in September, but I just haven't gotten around to it. I find it slightly amusing that the day I decide to update is right after our staff potluck luncheon. I've never felt so stuffed at work in my life! ;) So far it's working great! I've lost at least 10lbs since I've started-even my doctor congratulated me! :) He told me to keep up the good work, and I'll see him again sometime in March for a follow up to see how my chloresterol is (it's a little high right now.) Thankfully everything else is ok-I was mainly worried about my glucose levels-since diabetes does run in my family-but they are normal-yay! Shar and I have been trying to get more walks in at work-I think it's awesome that we are both doing this-we give each other moral support when someone brings in baked goods to share, ...

D.W.Q.M.: Sgt. Benton: "What are we going to do now?" the Second Doctor: "Keep it confused, feed it with useless information. I wonder if I have a television set handy?" I know, I know-I really need to update my blog more-I'm sorry! I've just been so busy-I'm lucky I get the weekly Doctor Who posts out!!
