Rainy quiet day. We mostly stayed home; we only left the house to get some Indian food for lunch. We had a buffet lunch and it was pretty good, although not the best ever or anything. The whole weekend was designed to put me in a food coma.

The morning was filled with “Doctor Who” awesomeness. “End of Time: Part 1” premiered in Britain on Christmas Day and I could watch it on YouTube the following morning. BBC America was actually airing it in the evening but I like usually the full British cut more. Part II will be over New Year. “Part I” was a great set up with Donna and her grandfather and all the twists. We know that the Ten with regenerate, so the question is just how. Can’t wait to see the next part. Some people online weren’t thrilled with Part 1 but I enjoyed it, I like “Doctor Who” with some cheesiness and it does feel like the end of an era with Ten leaving. I’ll review after the second part will come out.

We began our “Alien” marathon viewing. Well, it isn’t really a marathon since we are not watching it all at once but we will watch all four movies. I’ve seen the first two a long time ago. I barely remember all the details, although some came back to me.

Other highlights of the day were helping Bear with his Russian studies and sitting in front of the Christmas tree and a fireplace in the evening.

Then we watched some junk TV late at night and made fun of people on stupid shows. Bear did the funniest impression of a country bumpkin on one of the shows.

I just love that I got “American Gods” on Christmas. I started reading it right away. I just love his prose sometimes and his images. Neil Gaiman can certainly spin a good story. I did look up some info on Wikipedia – for all my deep knowledge of Greek Gods, I can never remember the Norse pantheon although I read some stories as a kid.
