mostly links

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.
