Evil Snowmen

'WOO new WHO!' is of course the feeling I had when I watched the new Christmas Special episode of Doctor Who. I've got to say, it is best to watch any new episode, that one has been waiting for months in anticipation, without seeing or hearing anything about it in advance. But, of course I can never help myself. So my expectations were, unfortunately, blown out of proportion. I was actually expecting something scary from the gist of it all, but, I should have known better. Although, my hopes of an exciting and fun episode were answered, and it was a good episode. My favourite Christmas Special, however, is still the 2010 one, A Christmas Carol. 

So, The Snowmen. Evil-grinning snowmen. Muahahahaha! - No. Stop right there, and take a back seat pile of frost! Because, it's time for the new companion to show off. And she did. Although, I've always found when companions show off their smartness, it seems rather contrived in contrast with when the Doctor does it. All the same I look forward to seeing more of Clara Oswin Oswald.

The Doctor: Go on say it. Most people do.
[The Doctor giggles as Clara races to do a lap around the police box.]
Clara: [returns back inside] It's smaller on the outside.
The Doctor: O.O ... Ok. That is a first.

Speaking of show offs. The Doctor and his new TARDIS console! Ooh Doctor, I see you have redecorated... I don't like it. Oh I'm just teasing, all I mean is I prefer the last console desktop. The last one was fun and extravagant with a warm, welcoming, orange-y glow. The new one is darker, more tech-y and very retro-looking. Given what the Doctor has been going through I understand the redecoration and it was very picturesque for the story. But, but... it's smaller! Still bigger on the inside but smaller than it was before. Oh, Clara's missing out. Tangent thought, River must be able to keep track of the Doctor's timeline by the console desktops too.

So the Doctor's off again, to discover the mystery of Clara Oswin Oswald, the women twice dead. To be honest, I'm more excited by the troubles they'll get up to than the mystery shrouding who she really is. There's just one too many mystery women in the Doctor's life.

Endings

"I hate endings!" ~ The Doctor

Seriously, I know I am in too deep when I frequently reference Doctor Who =/

It's the end of another year. Well, in five days. But, to the point, there's just been so many endings I've had to experience with my favourite telly this year, and if you're the type of person who loves their telly you know that devastatingly, sad feeling that washes over you when it's the end of an era. Like my old favourite, House Md that ended earlier this year to Merlin which I just finished watching in the last hour and is the cause of my current spout. And then by my own personal construct in discovering Doctor Who and suffering the heartrending transitions in the Doctor and each companion all in one year. Arrghh! I miss them all! Oh, but, no! There's more endings to come because we'll be meeting the mother of Ted's kids very soon too!

Beginnings are fun too. But, sometimes, usually, I'm too weary in the beginning to enjoy it. I prefer to be all settled in, in the middle somewhere, waist deep but far from the end.

Merry Christmas!

Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...

We all know this poem. Well, I know of it :/ Frankly the poem is too long to really remember all of it.

Anywhose. Happy Christmas and safe holidays!

Apples

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well, I hope they don't mean THE Doctor. No? Lame? Fine have it your way!

Apples are yum. Of course that's not why I drew them, but, of course that's not a bad reason to draw them either. I guess every artist, professional or amateur, would have dabbled in drawing this fruit at some point in their lives. This is probably my third time. Have I improved? Maybe, maybe not. Who really cares, as long as it's a fresh attempt.
