Once again, I find myself sitting here and trying to write an entry at sundown. My winter vacation is over next week. Christmas and New Year's Day have passed with some destruction in their wake. I keep thinking that it will be the end of the world when the new semester begins, but it probably won't be that big of a deal. There are some annoying little matters to attend to, but they shouldn't be much. Nothing to interfere with my obsessive Internet surfing and general geekdom. I only have three classes for four days a week. It shouldn't be too intrusive. Hopefully, I should be able to keep everything under control.
Right now, I'm journeying back to 2009 and listening to The Fame by Lady Gaga. I don't think I've ever listened to this album all the way through. Oh well, I have Spotify Premium now. I might as well get my money's worth.
I've barely started on season three of Doctor Who. I like Martha so far, but I don't think she will beat Rose in my eyes. The first episode "Smith and Jones") was meh to me. Kind of run-of-the-mill. However, if I recall correctly, the second season began with an episode that was set in a hospital. It's interesting to see a hint of a pattern there. I wonder if any other patterns will continue? Anyway, I loved the second episode because it was Shakespeare. I haven't read any reviews of this episode, so I don't know if it's well-liked or not. The suggestion that Martha was Shakespeare's "Dark Lady" was cute, and I loved all the references to how women live in the future as compared to Elizabethan times. I also wonder if there is any evidence that Shakespeare did spend any time in Bedlam? Probably not, but it's interesting to think of it and his lost son. Loved the constant quoting of Shakespeare and the Doctor saying that he could use those lines. ;) The shout-outs to J. K. Rowling were great, too. I don't know how historically accurate this episode was, but I enjoyed it and its gleeful Britishness all the same.
It's dark now. Sunset was at 4:58. The music's stopped. I say it's timme to leave you now.
