My stupid alarm went off, blinking its brains out but made NO SOUND! I was an hour late to the meeting. Great. Nothing like being late to meeting the new provost.

He's a former English prof and it shows. He told a lot of stories and went off on tangents. But I did volunteer to start a science seminar at the local library AND I volunteered for additional training as a safe zone ally for the LGBT students. Not sure what that entails yet (mom - you volunteered again? You already do too much. When are you finding time).

They did cut the Veterans' commission after our last report. I'm disappointed. I know there's no money for our recommendations but there were things we could have done (I think he's mostly sweeping clean the previous administrations stuff).

It wasn't a bad day, frustrating on the whole but that's university life.

My asshole neighbors, after sending their 8 year old son over to ask me to adopt the cat, removed EVERYTHING they had out for him, the litter, the box and more importantly the food and water. It's like tag, you're it CoM. Fuckers. (and he was pounding on the wall again last night. I can't tell if the tv is too loud or what because sometimes he does it when it's not on)


I love you George Takei

Chris Pratt is one of the good guys

Unlike a lot of my friends, I'm very apprehensive about the new Doctor. While I think Peter Capaldi is a fine actor, my Doctor has always been young. I'm really not looking forward to old skool Doctor because I didn't like the old Dr. Who.

I'm definitely a fan of the reboot. I have tried so many times. I just don't like it. I tried hard last year with the revisit with each and every one of them and I still didn't connect. I'm reading this book and it's teaching me a lot (I find it a good read filled with all sort of production gems but I'm not sure if there is anything new in it for the old-time fan). I've gotten a new point of view on the daleks and cybermen (and I'm still tired to death of them, sorry) and understand their importance to the fandom more.

That said, I'm not sure I want a cantankerous old man (granted Capaldi isn't THAT old). I'm used to a level of energy and insanity (not that he might not bring that too).

I am, however, more than ready for the end of the flirtation between the Doctor and his companion. I hate the Rose/10 thing. And Clara does diddly for me (other than thinking, gosh, she's cute).

I'm trying not to prejudge things and yes, I will be watching it tomorrow. Mom, on the other hand is prejudging (If I wanted to look at an old man, I'd look at your father!)
