i. Discovery du jour (or really du holiday two days ago): I am really, really fond of hot chocolate + Bailey's, which I guess is basically Irish coffee for people who don't care for lots of caffeine. I am now working on convincing myself that this is a dessert drink, not a breakfast drink.
ii. This Worst of the Time Lords, and specifically its comment section, is possibly one of the funniest things I've seen in ages. Be warned for spoilers for all of New Who.
iii. The Hobbit movie(s) begin filming in July! I am mostly delighted about this because they are actually getting on this project while Ian McKellen can still trek around New Zealand. Well, and also because my inner four-year-old is dying of joy. (No one else is confirmed yet, although I assume they'll get Andy Serkis and Hugo Weaving back; I do desperately want to know who'll play Bilbo. IMDb is useless and mostly full of people proposing David Tennant for no good reason -- I am all for more Tennant on my screens, and he might play it charmingly, but beanpole Bilbo would bend my mind.)
iv. Time Lord jellyfish! Nature is so cool.
v. Thirty-second clip of The Eleventh Hour [starts at 3:16 after a short interview with Matt Smith, who seems a bit flustered; poor man, he's going to have to get so used to the same dumb press questions x1000]; also a new trailer, wherein no one thing but rather the whole tone makes me realize that I am, in fact, totally psyched for Moff time. I am probably setting myself up for disappointment, but god I am excited. New, different flavors to the mythos! YAY.

i. That sounds DELICIOUS
ii. *sporfle* sheer brilliance
iv. That is amazing! I also like that they're slowing taking over the world. =)
v. I have so many mixed feelings! I am excited for Moff time, definitely. I think Matt Smith will just need to convince me that he is a distinct and new Doctor in his own right, and not try to be like David Tennant, because right now I just look at him and go,'who are you? you are not my Doctor. I want my Doctor back.' But I am ready to watch him and be won over. And so excited for more Who!

i. It is! Maybe it will even make the dining hall hot chocolate drinkable?
iv. I KNOW RIGHT. Soon we will be drowning in IMMORTAL JELLYFISH.
v. The reason I think I will be okay with Matt Smith is that I've seen him in one other thing, BBC's Ruby in the Smoke, and in that he was playing Jim, who in the original book had been a twelve-year-old boy (as well as my favourite character). I saw that he was a grown man and immediately went "You are not my Jim!" About two minutes later he was already my favourite character. So: I have faith! I am still quietly crushed there is no more Tennant, but I think things will be okay.

i. Possibly- definitely warrants experimentation.
iv. And then they will all start laughing evilly in unison, and we will know that we are doomed.
v. Okay, that's reassuring. We'll have to wait and see.
no subject
iv. That is ... so ridiculously cute. I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT CUTE, RIGHT? No, of course I am.
v. Exactly! Although we do not have very long to wait now. Eeep.
no subject
It is not cute, it is terrifying and intimidating! Actually, it really would be a mite disconcerting to hear evil laughter emanating from a mass of jellyfish.
no subject
I am also tentatively excited for Eleven!

I am unconditionally and hugely excited for Eleven! I probably need to calm down.
