Okay so the Tardis wouldn’t land on Trenzalore and the Doctor and Clara had to fall onto it. Is that the fall of the eleventh?
That’s lame. I hope it’s something more than that.
I’m done with Who questions for the night. Should not have watched that episode so late; my brain is on overdrive! Bedtime for me. :)

I’m still considering the Doctor Who finale and I have a question. Didn’t Dorium Maldovar tell the Doctor that the Question would be asked on the Fields of Trenzalore at the Fall of the Eleventh?
So the Question was asked… it was answered by River. So what is the Fall of the Eleventh? Am I missing something?

While planting the garden today:
Nephew 1 (10 years old): This shovel is epic.
Nephew 2 (9 years old): Well, actually it's kinda... little.
Nephew 1: Exactly.

So many bad reviews on the latest Muse album… finally decided to give it a go since they are one of my favorite bands. While I understand that musicians are artists who like to experiment and grow just like all other forms of art, it’s pretty disappointing when you fall in love with a band early in their career and their signature changes drastically.
I still believe in you Muse!

I was about to enjoy these delicious chocolate chip cookies but the glass for my milk is too small for maximum dunking ability.

Today my coworker said The Great Gatsby was getting bad reviews because everyone said it was mostly just narrative and the main character wasn’t even Gatsby and really it was too much like the book.

I truly hate the weather in Georgia during summer since it’s hotter than the fires of Hades, but there’s one thing I look forward to every year and that’s the sound of the cicadas and katydids. They haven’t started singing yet, but I listen to sound clips while I write just to get in the summery spirit.

I’ve been doing an intense home clean since January in preparation for going minimal and back in March I tackled our pantry. We have a walk in one and it seems to be the place to throw things we never have a spot for. When I finally got in there to organize, I was shocked at the amount of food hidden away. I decided to pull everything out, take inventory of it and my fridge and freezer, and...
