- My flist is like 80% posts from [livejournal.com profile] doctorwho. I mean, I'm excited about Series 7 and all, but it's sad that there is less and less activity here from individuals. OF COURSE I AM NOT HELPING.

- I saw ParaNorman this past weekend and LOVED it, though on several occasions I found myself boggling that this was a film marketed to children. It is quite saucy, and it may in fact be the first American "children's" film to have a gay character. And it's done in such a cool, "no big deal" way that I was kind of amazed. Also, I want to live in the little town in the movie, with all it's witchy goodness (Witch's Wieners LOL).

- So I turned a year older yesterday. I didn't do much for the occasion, since I had to work. I thought seriously about calling in, and after this past night's butt-kicking I kind of wish I had. I did manage to pick up the Jaws Blu-Ray and Juan of the Dead DVD that I ordered from Amazon.

- I created an IntenseDebate account so that I could fully comment on Mark Reads/Watches. If any of you are following his Buffy and Angel posts and want to see my comments, they're here. I'm elphaba_cee, as in Wicked ("...and I only wish there were ... something I could do for her, to repay her ... Elphaba see..."). I'm planning to take a break once the Whedonverse is finished (he's doing the two short seasons of Dollhouse with the last season of Angel) and I'll pick back up in March when he starts The West Wing and Friday Night Lights (the latter of which I've never seen but I know a ton of people who love it).

- I picked up my annual copy of EW's Fall Movie Preview. And promptly ripped the stupid Breaking Dawn cover off. :P I've done my yearly marking of the day planner, and if I ever do a movie post again, I'd love to do a list of my most-anticipateds. Anyone seen the poster for Spielberg's Lincoln? I wish they'd start showing us Daniel Day-Lewis in character, as opposed to the reanimated Lincoln corpse they seem to have been propping up for these pictures. (Seriously, it is UNCANNY!)

- I got my dad Game of Thrones for his birthday, and he is hooked! I talked to him yesterday and he had just reached the Baelor section. I really need to get cracking on A Clash of Kings myself, but gah, there's so much I'm behind on that I had intended to have read by now (don't even say the name Bujold to me).
