Better things to do...

There are so many things I should be doing right now instead of blogging and playing Pioneer Trail.

Oh yes I am trying desperately to catch up with the missions that I have in there and it kills me when I finish one only for it to be replaced by one more and it is even worse when you get two or three more. I just want to get them finished. Right now I am trying to plant a whole mess of crops since I can sit here and watch them grow, harvest, and then plant more. I've got the day off and then all day tomorrow. It is wonderful. Of course I still have a deco mesh wreath that I haven't even thought about that I should be handing over tomorrow as a present. There are clothes to be folded. More presents to be wrapped. I haven't even done anything with my hair that I washed this morning. There are mountains of dishes to be washed and well I just don't want to stick my hands in the sink. I wish that the dishwasher could unload the dishes more than anything.

I have paid the bills so that is a plus at this point. I have to decided if I have enough of the presents ready for tomorrow but I am probably wrong. I am also trying to empty the DVR while there is time to watch instead of indiscriminately deleting things. There are 20+ episodes of Doctor Who and some of them are episodes that I haven't seen before. I wish that the DVR would reorder the episodes by air date instead of just when they were recorded. A few weeks ago I was watching Star Trek and watched a whole episode that made no sense only to find out that for some reason it had recorded the first part at a later time than the second part. It was a little frustrating because I didn't know that I should watch the other one first. BBC America also has a tendency to show the first part of a to be continued episode and then a week later show the second half. There is one episode with David Tennant that it took me almost a month to see the second half of because of when they were airing the episodes.

The real problem that I have with Pioneer Trail on Facebook is that some times it will all of a sudden tell you that there is an error and need to reload and then it will reset what you were doing. There are times when this may work to your advantage but for the most part it does not work to mine. I have harvested crops, had the error pop up and then I can't get it to load. The next day I log on and see all the crops were not harvested and are now dead and brown. And hell if I can ever get my 'neighbors'  to come and help me unwither my crops.

I also am so excited to see the new episode of the Doctor tomorrow night. To meet yet another new doctor. I'm a little sadden that this is Matt Smith's final episode but I know that it means new adventures.

I have to get up now and do some work or I will be in trouble later.

love ya!

Epic movies

Good evening.

I am still a little upset with Doctor Who. I'm not really ready to let go of another Doctor. I didn't really care for the Ninth doctor, and ten was fun but eleven really has been my Doctor for most of viewing experience. I've actually been catching up with older episodes because we got a totally awesome DVR which I've eaten crow about because I said we really didn't need one. (I secretly love it though. And as soon as my husband leaves to go to the movies I'm gonna watch an episode of hoarders and clean the house.)

There were a few episodes I liked, the space Titanic seemed to have some parallels to the original  The Poseidon Adventure which I have to say is an epic movie. Also another epic movie to check out is The Towering Inferno, and yes I really do like movies with story lines full of danger. I haven't seen all of the second one but come on it has Steve McQueen. I've only seen one movie that he was in that didn't impress me, it did however get me some points in a military history class. (Not that they were actual points or anything.)

I have taken on the task of starting to repaint the house. I have gotten the hall painted and it will probably need to be repainted a second time but that will have to wait because the return air vent is in the hall and it sucks fumes all through the house. I also have to find a flat head screw driver to take the thermostat off of the wall. I've gotten paint all around it and a little on the bottom but I want to paint now in case we ever have to change it out. The real challenge is taping off the trim in the living and dining room. I didn't do that in the hall because there is so much trim with four doors in an eight foot hall plus the entry to the dining room is trimmed so it really makes it five doors in one hall.

love ya!

One week out and feeling blue..

It has been a little over a week since the companions have made their exit and I might be ready to talk about it. I just really haven't had the words to say what I feel about Amy and Rory no longer being the companions. Of course the only thing that I could think really think of was if Rory and Amy died in the 1930s in New York then how did Amy ever meet the Doctor?  Isn't that one of those things that messes up the entire time stream or really I guess it doesn't matter because the Doctor says that time is not linear.

I'm going to miss them. I really am going to miss them. I think when you're a Whovian I don't think that you are defined by your doctor, I think that you are defined by your companion. I really haven't been a fan of any of the other companions up until Amy and Rory, I liked the dynamic that they've created. Amy balances out Rory and together they balance out the Doctor.

I'm not a little sad about the mid-season finale of Warehouse 13, I already miss Leena. I am still emotionally unavailable because of this mid-season break. I will feel my lonely heart with books and cleaning the house.

love ya!

So sad....

So sad to watch the series finale of Doctor Who and it made truly sad to see the end of Rory and Amy as the current companions. I'm not really ready to talk about it yet.

I have to admit though the episode was very well written and the story line was great but it sad and I'm not really in a mood to talk about it. Maybe in a few days I will.

love ya!

So tired...

Been a crazy week. Didn't even get to talk about Doctor Who this week and I can honestly say at this point not too sure what happened but it was good just like every episode. Little bit worried about this week having the weeping angels, they rank very low on my list of good episodes. Thinking back I realize though that the original episode with River Song and the angels was probably one of the very first episodes that I watched and part of what hooked me on the magical adventures of a mad man and a blue box.

I didn't get to sleep last night...I slept but it wasn't the sleep that you need to get up and go to work and be functional at five o'clock. I felt like a puppy chasing my tail for most of the afternoon. I have so much to do this weekend and I'm not even sure if I'm going to get it done. I just want to sleep and I almost didn't get up from the nap that I  took when I got home, but I need to eat and definitely need a shower.

I also have a new book that I am reading that admittedly I bought based on the cover and when you see the cover you will completely understand. It is called Clara and Mr. Tiffany  and when you see the cover you will understand. The picture does it no justice and if you can stop by a bookstore and take a peak do so. I was drawn to this book based on the cover and automatically flipped it over to see what the story line was. This one is historic fiction based on the life of Clara Driscoll and her work for Louis Comfort Tiffany. I have my eyes on a set of Tiffany style lamps that use the famous dragonfly pattern. If I can snap a few pics I will load them over the weekend.

love ya!

Doctor Who & Signatures

I will admit that the opening of Doctor Who did not disappoint. I really did like the character of Oswin that was introduced and I am uncertain of her future on the show. I am unsure of whether she will be the new companion but it would make for some interesting plot lines if they do keep her. I will be sad to see Rory and Amy go this season and I hope that it will be later in the season so that I can be more prepared.

I have yet to get online and do a little more research but I could have sworn the other day on Pinterest I saw a complete Doctor Who series on DVD, and when I say complete I mean as complete as you can get going back to the beginning.

I had a little fun tonight adding a signature. Just to kick it up a notch make it more fun to get on here and write. I really just have to start forcing myself to get on here. I have a few posts I need to write or finish writing, need to get on that 30 before 30 list because well I don't have as much time as I think that I have. Especially when there are so many other things going on.

Saturday night...

I am ready for Doctor Who to start. This is how I plan to spend my Saturday nights this fall. On the couch watching Doctor Who and possibly eating fish fingers but not with custard.

love ya!
