Happy Thursday! It rained one night and one day this week, and then it's been in the 70s ever since. Way to go, California! Everywhere else it's all snowing and what have you, but here we don't even know the meaning of the word winter.
Worked the whole day today, which is great because tomorrow I get paid and I have just enough gas to get to the gas station before I have to go to work. But it jumped four cents just today, so it sucks that I had to wait so long.
I also feel like I've just been sick--not that I'm getting sick, but the other way. Like how you feel a bit stuffed up like, the day after you've been sick? But I haven't been, so I don't even know what's going on.
This blog was just a big shrug.

Midwinter Thursday
Happy Thursday! It got cold again! Maybe gonna rain this weekend. So there's that.
What did I even do this week? Finished the first two series of Doctor Who and then took a Torchwood break to be chronological. Ummmm played Borderlands with Carolyn and an online friend. Worked. Jogged.
Today we all went to Thai food.
At work all week I got to spend some hours standing on the corner waving a sign. I listened to podcasts. Learned some words in Welsh.
I had a dream last week which I'm adapting into a short, a sort of a Doctor Who/O. Henry mashup because my M.O. is to absorb absorb absorb and then my output is a distillation of whatever went in. That's why I wrote so much fanfiction in my day. I couldn't not.
Wrote a Doctor Who fanfic. But that must have been last week, actually.
Accidentally playing CastleVille I'll try to stop I promise.
I don't know. It wasn't a bad week. Wish it was warmer. Doing a whole lot of nothing at work, which is mind-numbing and sort of carries over into real life. I'll try harder this week.

The Long Weekend aka The Short Vacation
Happy Thursday! Today was the fifth day I've had off in a row. The freedom! A mixed blessing, of course, in this economy, but I tried to make the best of it. It was actually going quite beautifully until these last few hours where my mystery headache set in and wiped me out. I coulda been a contenda.
Did we speak of Doctor Who last time? For your sake, I'll check.
...
Ah, I mentioned it quite in passing. For my sake, I'll elaborate.
WHY NO ONE MAKE ME WATCH THIS SOONER. TELL ME WHY. Although, everything in its right time. Who knows, maybe if I watched it years back I would have hated it? We did watch an episode in school, and just like BSG, I scoffed and refused to see what the big idea might be. What a silly human child.
ANYWAY it's terrific. Eccleston, as my first Doctor, will always be "THE Doctor," but Tennant is growing on me at an alarming rate. Some of the stories are dumb, some of the actors are crazy annoying, but it's funny as all get out and the heart is really there. Worth every cent of its cult classic status.
It also makes a lot of Torchwood things make a lot more sense, lol.
So when I wasn't do that this week, I was probably either applying to jobs or biking with Carolyn. We've been up to see Beth at work, and almost all the way to the harbor. While my bike was at the shop I practiced on the stationary one at home so actual biking wouldn't be too much of an impossibility. The last time I seriously biked was probably early high school. Now if there was anywhere else to go, or if Ventura was safe to bike around!
Okay pals, it's been fun, but I gotta go sleep this off. Hopefully.

Wull Hullo There Thursday
Happy Thursday! 2012 started out as a heat wave, which, though unexpected, was not by any means unappreciated. I forgot I'd been calling it "Australian Christmas" all last week, compared to last years which was, like, flooding if I can recall correctly.
(Which, let's face it, is not one of my special talents.)
Already started my spring cleaning, an activity befitting of the weather if not the month. Mostly just getting rid of stuff that I haven't needed in quite a while, but now it's the time where I can let it go without freaking out about it. There were some things in my closet, shirts and stuff, that I'd stored there with the vague idea that if I needed them for costumes (like, for movies or whatever) they'd be available. But seriously, when was the last time I just sat around making a movie? Do I even know where my camera is? Yep, it's under the bed. Where it's been for at least two years. So it's time for those shirts to go.
Two of them are actually dresses, which for some reason my sister bequeathed to me (they're in my closet, after all) so I texted her saying "can I throw these out?" and she was all "no." And I'm like "the one still has the thrift store price tag on it." And I mean, I'm never in my life going to use them. She's not, either, she doesn't even live in this state. "no," she says. So if I ever get around to taking them back out of the give-away box, they're going in a pile in her closet. But not back in mine.
I even threw out--recycled--that old Build-A-Bear box/house I'd been saving for in case I needed a cardboard house. Now my closet has a big gaping hole in it.
Other than that I've been sulking around, put a computer together, got my bike tuned up, reading books, and watching Youtube and Doctor Who. A mixed start to the year, but it'll turn around.
