I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

I hate it when I get what I think is a great idea for a play, story, whatever...and then...totally forget what it was!

I try to keep notes, but, you know how it is...well, my mental state, with my illness, is a bit fuzzy at times, of late--early senility...well, I have the rocking chair, the graying hair, my three cats, senior vitamins--not doing the stewed prunes or adult nappies thing yet, thank goodness!

But gosh, yeah, sometimes of late, I get sooo-frustrated with myself, because simple stuff that I used to take for granted, just isn't so easy any longer. And I'm not even 50 years old, yet! It's really hard coping, some days. Some days more than others, I really do miss having someone in my life. But...not much I can do to change my reality, so I have to just suck it up and deal.

Don't mind me, I'm just my usual crotchety old self today.

"Blimey! Look at them, going at it like bunnies--and I thought time lords had wild sex!"

Some people just seem to enjoy picking apart everything they see or hear--spend much of their lives analyzing--or, even, over-analyzing everything little cotton-pickin' thing that comes their way--maybe in an effort to make themselves more important in an often impotent culture.

And some people, never think much about anything at all. They just skim along the surface of life, like waterbugs on a pond, never really learning or observing, just...existing.

Sometimes, I think, it's not the scientists and politicians and analysts that have it right. And not the trendy, fast-paced, gotta' have it now, type of folks, that grasp the world as it is.

I think, it's the poets and playwrights, the actors and artists, the farmers and the teachers, that have it right. That take the time to look around, to see, to feel, to think, to question.

But, that's just my opinion.

CONGRATULATIONS to the folks who bring us Doctor Who, for winning best drama, and, especially, to David Tennant, on winning the Best Actor NTA award again this year!

The actor had this to say, about wearing trousers:

David, who arrived with co-star Freema Agyeman, thanked his “lucky pants”, joking: “I’ve always got my lucky pants on except when I haven’t got any pants on at all — and that’s unlucky.” --the Sun.

I've not checked my visitor stats in a while, so I did--and...

...nearly 22,000 visitors for October!

My gosh! This time last year, that number was less than 400! Wow, what am I writing that people find so interesting? Wow. That takes a bit of time to wrap my mind around. I actually truly am a bit nonplussed. Of course, a lot of them are probably just 2-second page views, but still..wow.

The Doctor's reaction, after finding out that South Park's Kenny will be his next companion. Oh wait. Sorry. That's just David Tennant before his morning cuppa.
