And so, we start in on another cycle of 'get Lily back into the daylight hours.' I was up eighteen hours in a row, so that I could go to bed no earlier than 3:00 PM. Woke up at 1:00 am, tonight, so progress! Aiming for a 5-7:00 PM bedtime, tomorrow (or possibly today; with my schedule, who can tell anymore?)

And seriously. Kids, don't try this at home. Any of this. Waking up when it's dark out leads to your head feeling broken and splody all day long. Not fun.

DW - The Happiness Patrol

Sure, this is the arc people site for DW's Jump the Shark moment. To them, I say 'pthbbt'. Is it great TV literature? No. Is it fun? Yep! I mean, come on. If nothing else, it's the serial where the Tardis gets painted pink. (Man, is she gonna need therapy for that!)

Ace is fabulous here, which comes as no surprise. One of the things I love about her is how easily she makes friends with the locals, wherever she and the Doctor go. Not just 'hi, how are you', but real friends. It's something the show doesn't do enough, in my opinion, but I love it when it does happen. (Rose's friendship with Gwyneth comes to mind.)

And the Doctor sings. When is that ever not a good thing?
