Freedom from Time...

Right now, I'm sitting on my couch enjoying the sunlight shining in through the windows. There's a book on my knee because I interrupted my reading to look at my lounge in the afternoon sunlight. Normally I'm at work at this time of day, too busy to just sit and stare at sunbeams. It hits me. This amazing sense of freedom. For nine whole days, my life won't be ruled by a clock. No alarm clocks to wake me. No watches to tell me my break is over. No clock to dictate how fast I must eat my lunch or my dinner. It truly feels like I am just a bit lighter with this realisation of freedom from time. Of course it is not real freedom from time as time will simply go on and my holiday will come to an end. I'll rejoin the world of time a refreshed and more chilled out person and be better for it. Still - this feeling is good enough to want to write about. (Good thing Blogger has an app for my smartphone) Right now though, and for the next week and a bit, I am goin...

Doctor Who Christmas Special 2012

'Doctor Who' Christmas Special, 'The Snowmen': TV Recap - Speakeasy - WSJ I found this amazing review of Doctor Who's 2012 Christmas Special online. Instead of doing a review of my own, I will simply refer you to the one above. Read it, enjoy it and please accept my apologies for not writing a review of my own.

Cars!

A picture is worth a thousand words I found this amazing photo on Facebook that I would like to share. The photo, as it is meant to, reminds me of the movie Cars with the big smiley faces on the cars. I'm sure I read somewhere that the smiley faces were actually done by police officers themselves, and on those grounds I wholly support this piece of amazing and inspiring "community art".   

Doctor Who 2012 Christmas Special

It is December. Finally!!! As a huge Doctor Who fan, one of the things that I love about December (read about others in my previous post!) is that the wait to see the Doctor Who Christmas special is coming to an end! This year, the wait has been a long one! This year, the mid-season finale of the first half of season / series 7 left me crying my eyes out for Amy's heartbreaking decision and her strength of character and for the Doctor's immense loss. On the 29th of September 2012 we said goodbye to Amy and Rory for the very last time. One thing that made the two-month wait more bearable was the speculation about the Doctor's new companion. We met the actress in Asylum of the Daleks as human Oswin Oswald turned Dalek trapped in her own delusion. Or wait, perhaps we met an alternate version of her, or maybe a future version, or even a future child or grandchild... On the 25th of December 2012, we will move on, we will finally get to meet Jenna Louise Coleman's new C...
