The New Doctor Who Companion was announced

She's absolutely gorgeous, and while I remember the episode she was in I don't remember her or her acting skills. Hopefully she'll be good? Honestly I was hoping for someone a little more exciting since they've already done the pretty girl thing. Mix it up guys. Hopefully she'll be a fun character. I guess we'll see.

And while I'm talking about goings on from that side of the pond... have some more Father Ted clips, because I can't help myself: I hear you're a racist now, Father

This weekend is devoted to painting my living room. It's going to be Perennial Gold, which is hopefully the perfect shade of gold because I don't want to paint it twice. I get so anxious about colors, because I LOVE when people are bold with them. But I get so gun shy when it comes to doing it myself. I'll post pictures once it is done!

Also, I discovered there is no outlet in my bathroom (I don't blow dry my hair so I never looked before). That's bizarre.

I love when people are bold with colors too. I want to paint a room an orange shade at some point.

Do post pics!

I have a coworker who is painting his bedroom orange and had a mini panic attack when he got the color on the wall. His problem was that it wasn't covering evenly because you have to put multiple coats on when it is a dark color.

I'd totally do an orange room myself if I had a bigger space, I adore warm colors. I just worry about making my already small place look smaller.

She's cute!

I remember seeing this on 4chan the other day. I really truly facepalmed when I saw it. While I agree she's totally cute, I was really hoping for someone older, less....sexy? My Dad & I agree that the new Doctor/Companion are way too young and that it's just gonna be another love story onboard the Tardis...unless she's gay? That might throw a huge twist into it. ::shrugs:: I don't know, I'm just not pleased. I'll allow them to change my mind, of course, but I'm really sick of this lovey-dovey stuff on Doctor Who. It just makes it too heartbreaking when the companion has to leave, ya know?

::sigh::

That's exactly what I thought. I feel like they are trying to hard to get a younger, hipper audience that they are ignoring what is best for the show. We've done the cute girl thing, let's move on already.
