I didn't mind the way they ended the Ponds but I would have been okay with Amy & Rory just saying, hey, we need to have a life now, and then just settle down and raise a family (they could adopt).

I could not agree more.

I'm going to tell him you said that!

I did the same thing (although I don't think 12 is better than 11). I got really attached to 10 (obviously) but 11 won me over right at the regeneration.

A young scientist at a truck stop attempts to decode a book left by aliens and unleashes evil into the world.

Ow, that hurts.

And when I worked on a campus I hated bike riders who would scream past me at 20 mph on the sidewalk. Grr!

Back in my 20s I used to drive between Mass. and Texas fairly regularly - one time I was driving a car with only an AM radio (yes, I'm old!) and I had to stop after about 2 or 3 hours at the mall and buy a cassette player, a couple of cassettes, and lots of batteries. I just could not do that drive without any music.

Ha! I answered Cats to FJ. (In my defense, I know basically nothing about theater.)

I remember them from the Tracey Ullman Show but wasn't really into them.

Yup, that's what I remember.

Yay, another oldster!

I was thinking marching band and I wondered how that worked exactly. Then my brain started working.

I watched both Kung Fu Panda and Coraline this weekend. I don't know what the animation style for Coraline was, but that was one creepy movie.

What is savory oatmeal?

It's not plugged into any of those (unless there's more than one per room). It doesn't want to charge from a power strip. Which I guess could be the problem but I did buy a fairly good power strip (I thought).

It definitely won't charge from the USB port on my laptop (8 years old). I think the place it won't charge is on a power strip that's plugged into the wall. It will charge in the wall sockets as long as I don't nudge it and lose the connection.

I love mine, except for the fact that I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to charge. I assume the port is damaged, but that doesn't really explain why it won't charge in some outlets but will in others.

Now I want googly eyes for my dryer.

Scalzi was here last Thursday and I completely forgot. I had it in my phone and everything. Dang it.
