Updates first, if there are any:

--Nothing out of the blue or earth-shaking. I'm still here. I'm trying to find random hobbies to keep myself active, and I'm still waiting for the Eugene library to call me. Maybe instead of waiting, I ought to have a backup plan. I don't know what that would be just yet, but I'm getting to the point where I'm pretty desperate for work. I just don't want it to be church-related, if it means being stuck with old ladies who gossip too much.

Then the online bit:

--This website feels like how CSI evolved as a show. 80% of the cast is gone, and the best plotlines were already done. It's a personal matter, really. 80% of the people I talked to in the past are now gone, and I need to let go. I was so desperate for friends that I latched onto everyone I met here...I just couldn't envision them leaving. It's the same thing that happened to all my friends in high school and college (as in they ALL left and never came back, and I didn't have email back then), so I went into some sort of panic mode some months ago. It really ruined my perspective on how I should really be spending my time. My sense of discipline is all screwed up. It's always been that way, really, so for the first time in my life I have an actual wake-up call. I don't like it. I don't like being inactive here and yet at the same time always online...I feel like there's so much in my head I haven't even tapped, and it's all stuck inside because of stupid insecurity.

And now the fandom bit:

CLASSIC DOCTOR WHO. I feel like the way I did back in 2003--I was on a major high thanks to the Lord of the Rings cast. I loved them so much I watched other movies they were in, and it literally brought me into other things. I had a better appreciation for British productions, sci-fi, classic horror, and even friggin' James Bond. I seriously have at least seven James Bond novels in my bookshelf right now. Thing is, watching classic Doctor Who on DailyMotion is giving me that feeling again. I have an appreciation for the cast as well as the plotlines and blah-de-blah. It really bothers me that the nu-Who fandom only cares about the 2005 reboot up through the current season, and they cover 98% of the fandom in general. If it wasn't that way, then maybe I would have a better appreciation for the newer episodes. Problem is, I don't have Netflix and can't afford it. And BBC America is showing Matt Smith's episodes right now, and I want to start with Eccleston's back in 2005 so I can get a better gist of what the FRICK is going on.
...
Maybe I should just say that Three is becoming my favorite Doctor. They're all different forms of the same guy, with the same memories, but THAT one reminds me of a sci-fi James Bond, but with more flounce and bouffant hair and he knows Venusian aikido. I seem to be connecting more with him than the others.

In other news, Testament revealed their new album cover and it looks like something I want as a poster. They need to make it a poster. I'd like to wake up to a giant face because....well, just look at it. [link]
