Top Ten Things I Loved About The Day of the Doctor

I went to see The Day of the Doctor on November 23, 2013 in 3-D in theaters. I’ve found myself unable to write a review about it, though. I really enjoyed it and I loved the experience of seeing it with a bunch of fellow fans.  But recent spoilers have made my canon-loving and change-hating brain hurt. And I don’t yet know how events in The Day of the Doctor will influence the Whoverse.

So instead of some review that I may or may not regret one day, I figured I’d turn it into a top ten list.

Spoilers below! Beware!

Happy #GivingTuesday!

Today's my favorite of the "days." Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday... so what's Sunday? I've been taking suggestions all day for what Sunday should be. My favorite so far is "Sunday Sit" where you sit and relax, drink tea, and read a book. "Arts Sunday" was a close second favorite, where people create gifts instead of buy them.

I had a really good Thanksgiving break. I skipped dinner at my parents' place and went over afterward. We watched Public Access and laughed our asses off. Good times.

I got a lot written (won NaNoWriMo), got some crafts done and mailed out, cleaned my kitchen and living room, put up my tree, and worked on my blog.

Which y'all have probably noticed. I finally decided on a title and domain name. And I set it up to automatically post to my LJ. But it doesn't mirror to my Insane Journal. Sorry, those of you just following my IJ! But you can follow it here: http://thefangirlproject.com

I didn't go out for Black Tuesday. But I did buy one thing online that day, as it was for the Harry Potter Alliance and they have a Sirius Black Friday sale every year. I can't resist that. I bought two orders on Cyber Monday--one from ThinkGeek and the other from Whimsic Alley. I'm a fangirl, what can I say?


Today was a BAD day for me. I tried eating something a little more than white rice and applesauce last night. And I thought it was good. But I woke up in the middle of the night in so much pain. It didn't go away for 8 hours. So I skipped the first few hours of work and then went to work and sat hunched over at my desk crying for a few hours until the pain subsided. Gallbladder attacks are supposed to be 1-4 hours. So either this is something else or I'm just special. It hurts right where my gallbladder is, though, and the tests on my liver came back a-okay. So I'm thinking the ER was right all along about this. But I've got another nuclear medicine test on Friday (this time they just inject me). I'm hoping it'll tell me my gallbladder needs to come out pronto so I can get a good solution to this pain. All these tests coming back negative make me feel like I'm imagining it. But then times like this morning make me remember I'm definitely not.

So, yeah, today was a bad day. It's 10pm and I'm just now eating dinner (white rice! Whoohoo!).
