That constant refrain

I just had a train of thought I have pretty much every time I take a sick day:

Man, I don't feel that sick, maybe I could have gone in to work after all. I suck.
Hmm. Hungry. Out of food¹. Maybe I should wander to the corner shop to get some supplies.
Hmmm...no. Don't have the energy. Have to stay hungry.
Maybe I could watch some dvds.
Actually... no, that's too much effort too.
*fall asleep²*
*wake up, repeat*

(1) My definition of food narrows pretty significantly when I am unwell
(2)Yes, yes, smartie pants, am not actually sleep blogging. But that's the usual gist.

Thoughts on Doctor who (up to season 3)

Disclaimer: My "You are too stupid for the internet right now" warning beeper is sounding but I am in a mood to pontificate and the cat's wandered off. Also, spoilers, there's anyone who cares left who hasn't seen it.

So, I just finished Dr Who Season 3. Overall I really enjoyed it, but some bits were just..blah. Wrong. In the end I found the only way to process the arc so far is to see the Doctor as a condescending borderline-sociopath who prefers the company of those who don't challenge his intelligence or power. Still, the second last disk is made of like 99% pure awesome (with 1%: a maid? Really? Ew)

And so finally I can read all the meta I kept seeing on metafandom a year ago. And use it to say what I would but am too dumb to :) Unfortunately a little under half of them are flocked/deleted, which I guess is a sign of how intense the imbroglio got.
