I have no idea what to get anyone for Christmas and it's making me nuts.
I'll be out of the country most of December so people are getting whatever weird stuff I pick up in my travels, gift cards, or maybe something off their actual Christmas list if they get it to me on time.
Newly-acquired knowledge I did not need but now cannot stop thinking about: Talenti makes peppermint bark gelato.
Which is what I like about Four--goofy, all teeth and curls, but then his voice drops (yum) and you hope you're not the one who's made him angry.
Tom Baker (and others) have said frequently in interviews that he communicated the alienness of his Doctor most notably through his emotional reactions. They often tended to be off-kilter compared to a typical human reaction. (Compelling in the Hinchcliffe-era adventures; hilarious in City of Death.) And I love the way he could turn on a dime, in more or less any direction.
I would rank the Doctors, but honestly I think they're all pretty fantastic.
Why do people cheerfully ask "Are you all packed?!" How is that not supposed to be stressful? Because the answer is probably, NO OMG I'm not packed yet! And even if I am all packed, why would anyone be asking me that?

"We're completely cut off and are probably about to die!" (big toothy grin)
Yup.
Catching up...
Ginger, I am so glad you had the board and friends close by that were helpful. If need be, I can come down over a weekend to help you with anything you need.
Work~ma and health~ma and let's-not-kill-the-idiots~ma to all that need them.
Travel is going to be crazy over the next two weeks. Why does everyone wait until December to get things done?
I checked in for our flights earlier, and Southwest said "upgrade for as little as $16". So I clicked through about three screens, and for 2 of us it would have been over $900. Hilarious, Southwest.
"upgrade for as little as $16
They didn't lie, they just stated the starting amount.
Where was the $16 upgrade seat, on top of the landing gear?

Technically, I hope all the seats are on top of the landing gear.
