I have a TARDIS!
Really! Of course, it's only about a foot tall, and it doesn't seem to travel in time and space, but it lights up and makes noises! I like that part a lot. The cats like that part a little less.
In other news, I have finished the Downton Abbey Christmas special, so I am now officially caught up! I also now have to officially wait for more Downton Abbey. Rats. I do have to say, though, that there were an awful lot of very important plot developments in that special. I find that interesting, because here in the U.S., I think a one-off Christmas special would leave the characters exactly where they started. Although that's just conjecture, since we don't have Christmas specials in the same way that you guys do over in the U.K. -- we might have Christmas-themed episodes, but they're part of the regular season. It's just weird, because I realized afterwards that I had gone in with this mindset that it would be all holiday-ish and nothing much would happen, and boy, was I wrong.
And, since three things make a post (or so I've heard), let me leave you with the funniest thing I've seen lately on the internet. Credit goes to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
justice_turtle, who made me aware of the "Boobs Don't Work That Way" site, which is where people post examples of artists drawing unrealistic pictures of women. Then I found this entry on there, which is more of a "bodies don't work that way," and it's hysterical (and completely work-safe): http://boobsdontworkthatway.tumblr.com/day/2012/01/20/

Yes, our Christmas specials vary. In essence, they're just 'an extra episode - often extra-long - broadcast over the two weeks around Christmas and New Year'. They may well be Christmas-themed, sometimes just vaguely wintry, but sometimes not. Just an extra ep. Only privileged and popular shows get allowed them.
(I have a Violet icon now, too.)
Yes, DA will be annoying for you - if they carry on as with S1 and S2, you'll get S3 in January, and I will have smugly finished it by then (it started early Sept last year). :lol:
