  • Martha

    In what capped off a terribly awful episode of Doctor Who (Last of the Time Lords) was the surprise (to me anyway) departure of Martha Jones as the Doctor’s companion.

    Martha has proven to be one of the most competent and intelligent companions the Doctor has ever had and as such it’s been a real joy to have her on the TARDIS, although her school girl crush on the Doctor was a bit overplayed. Now, the word is out, she will be back, but…

    As Doctor Who’s Executive Producer and head writer, Russell T Davies notes: “Series three has gained outstanding reviews and Freema has been a huge part of that success, gaining rave notices for her portrayal of Martha. Now we are taking the character of Martha into brand new territory with a starring role in Torchwood”.

    What? Her character needed a little buggery before she could continue on in time and space? Seriously, Russell, Torchwood desperately needs help, but this isn’t the answer.

    The Doctor will also have a new companion for the entire 13 week fourth series.

  • Jetlag!

    Why is jetlag sometimes so difficult to overcome and other times easy?

    I can’t seem to shake it this time. I thought I’d won out against it yesterday. I’d managed to sleep (with a couple interruptions – Michelle has conjunctivitis and a cold) almost all Friday night, Saturday, I was awake all day. I thought I had it beat.

    I slept reasonably well Saturday night (again, with Michelle being sick, it wasn’t an uninterrupted night) and today everything was going fine.

    About 3:00PM, though, my eyes were tired and my back hurting a bit, so I closed my eyes, with the notion of resting a few minutes. Now, it’s 11:00PM and I’m wide awake. Everything’s thrown off again.

    (This is my happy face 🙂 , this is my not happy face 🙁 , I’m not 🙂 right now, I’m, 🙁 )

    Postscript
    The only good news is that now, as of 12:30AM, I’ve located all those missing photos that I hadn’t uploaded t flickr and put them up there. None of them were particularly interesting, just a few that got missed for various reasons.
