I'm having a Doctor Who marathon. Every so often I go Doctor Who loopy (who-opy). Usually this in the hiatus between series. I love the new style Doctor Who, but every now and again I like delving into the classic series. Late 70s through to late 80's for TV, and the massively extensive paperback range for 4th through to 8th Doctor. Oh....yeah, and the audio books and radio plays (classic doctor).

The last couple of weeks it's burgeoned into fully fledged obsession and I have decided to purge my system by wholly indulging:P

Sooner or later a new obsession will hit. Hopefully it'll be history related.....

That reminds me to go see if I can revive my old "kids in the hall' obssession with a marathon. My husband hates my marathon skills because he can never understand how someone can concentrate on "tv" for that long. Hmmm....this is what I can do today. Thanks for the idea.

I should go to the market now so I can get my marathon started as soon as possible!

I also want to see how funny they are from an older perspective.

My ten-year high school reunion is coming up, and apparently this means a flurry of reconnecting with everyone in advance, to find out if they're going to the reunion or not. Are people really that worried that they'll show up and no one "good" will be there? Do they not understand that if they wanted to be sure to only reconnect with people they like... they're already accomplishing that by contacting them right now? I swear to god, if I get one more out-of-the-blue phone call from someone I haven't spoken to in years, not to catch up but to establish whether catching up is going to be on our schedule in a few months, I might skip the stupid thing after all.

They want to know if you are going, to decide if they can include you in the list of people to slander, or not.

Did anyone else see Greg Norman's performance in the British Open?

The only golfer to have lost all four majors in sudden death play-offs, the man who made an art form of losing on the final day, the man who had a car named after him because it had an automatic choke ... comes back from semi retirement for one more great coup, snatching a glorious defeat from the jaws of victory ....

Midnight Blue.
Sounds kinda dark doesn't it?
Comes in a lovely dark blue pot.

NO!

It's peacock blue.
It's blue-green and iridescent.

Strand test. When will I learn.

Going into school tomorrow to take placement testing, and I'm very nervous.

Which is entirely unusual for me, I'm not the sort who gets nervous about testing. Gotta get to bed sos I can rest up. Blech.

Good luck Razz You'll do great. Just relax and try to take it in your stride. You are more than capable, and deep down you know it.

I wish restaurants would make condiment packages (ketchup) that were BIG enough, EASY to open, and wouldn't make a godawful MESS!

too much to ask? say it isn't so!

Maybe you're going to the wrong kind of restaurants.

I'm talking take-out. Fancy or cheap, they all come with those teeny messy hard-to-open thingies.

Do your take-out orders come with easy to use ketchup packets? If so, I wanna know where you eat.

At the McDonalds in Anacortes, the ketchup was *on tap*.

You slid your little paper sample cup under the spigot and pulled the handle forward. Out gushed a pressurized stream of tomato-y goodness. Ketchup plumbing. What will they think of next?

Dude, we have those everywhere in Texas. I mean, not everywhere, but it isn't a novelty.

But I'm talking TAKE-OUT! Like for the cheeseburger quesadilla from Applebees that I had for lunch. (yummy nom nom!). First, they gave me two ketchup packets. Not enough--you can barely get a teaspoon out of one of those. So then, they gave me a handful. Fine. But I have to open 10 of the damn things to get enough, and by the end of the process my hands are covered with ketchup, so slippery that I can't open the final packets, and I have a big mess o'messy packets.

And, no, ketchup does NOT make good lube!
One time the drive through person at Taco Bell insisted that the rule is "one sauce packet for two menu items" ...think about that for a minute.

So we drove around, went inside the store, and cleared out ALL of their sauce packets.
