Don't want to be at work. At all. Cranky as hell.

elismor is still off making scented candles from tallow or something, so I've been without deeply insane conversation for a week. A WEEK. The kind of conversation which starts out wondering why the hell everything inside the TARDIS doesn't fall over/break every time the TARDIS goes all twitchy, and ends up with Elis trying to win the ensuing argument by attempting to scare me with fistulated cows.

I want to go home.

Hmmm... I don't think I can handle the fistulated cows end of the conversation, but...

Really, really, really good inertial dampening? Glue? Lots of nails and/or screws? Forcefields around the china and glassware in the kitchen? The Doctor's force of personality and will? Some handy-dandy Time Lord invention? The TARDIS' will to keep everything in place?

For what it's worth, I'm stuck at work, too. Not cranky (yet!) but bored silly, very tired, and ... actually leaning toward cranky as I edit 12 documents for the 51st time. Grar.

There was *much* flailing when she brought up the whole "cow hole" thing. OMG.

*snickers*

Because you know the ride is sometimes bumpy. Look at Tooth & Claw when they get dumped on the floor! And the Doctor's not all "Oh shit! Gotta check on the ABBA collector glasses!" Nooooo. He's all focused on taking Rose on a date with his tie-less self.

I THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS. *FLAILS*

I'm really not sure I want to know. Especially since I tried to look up fistulate, didn't come up with anything, and now am wondering if it's related to fistula? If so, ow, and however did that come up.

And the Doctor's not all "Oh shit! Gotta check on the ABBA collector glasses!"

*snerk* Oh, dear Lord, how frightening. ABBA collector glasses.

Anyway, you know what it is: hand waving. Sheer, flapping hand waving from the producers and writers in the hopes that we won't notice that everything isn't crashing to the floor on a regular basis. Or maybe that's why we never see anything but the console room in the TARDIS anymore? Everything else in there is smashed to bits after hundreds of years of travel? Rose would just LOOOVE that.

Yeah.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! *RUNS IN CIRCLES*

I don't really remember.

HA! And yeah, one of those fun little "If you're wondering how he eats and breathes and other science facts, just repeat to yourself 'It's just a show, I should really just relax'" moments.

Maybe he uses paper plates. :D

BWAH! This amuses me far more than my actual theory, which is that only the console room shakes, because it's closest to outside.

Especially since there aren't inner doors anymore. Which, while I find it hella cool production-design-wise, always seems a bit precarious to me....

YES! And especially since you know you can open up the little phone door and look inside! Okay, yes it seems now that the Doctor pretty much keeps the main TARDIS doors locked, but all someone would really need to do is open up the wee phone door, reach around and open it. SECURITY, PEOPLE!

I really should not be allowed to watch shows like this. :D

We need to go back and kidnap a wee little you in the TARDIS and indoctrinate her. Then you won't worry about this stuff 'cause it's just there. I'm the same way with Who and Star Wars, i.e. can look at it with the kid-brain and go "Because it does. And?"

Of course, then we'd probably cause you to grow up to be someone else entirely, and return to discover you were living on a free-range dachshund ranch in the middle of Idaho somewhere and had never met us.

Even worse, you wouldn't get to watch the indoctrinating, because big you and little you meeting would be Of The Bad. And that's no fun.

So maybe we should just stick to assuming the Doctor has said "I'll explain later," even if he hasn't, and live with it. *g*

Awwwww.

I can be that way to a point. And a lot of the time I really don't care when I'm actually watching the episode/show (unless it's something glaring) but I think of these things six months down the road. :D

This is true. Waking up at the crack of dawn, herding the wienerdogs down to the pasture...

Choke on that, causality!!

Of course, now I'm trying to think of a way to fit this into some future fic...

"Doctor? Remember when you said 'I'll explain later?' Well, it's later now."

"Which thing was it again I said I'd explain later?"

"Everything."

"Everything?"

"Yup. I've been keeping a list. Here."

"Ooh, that's a pretty big notebook."

"That's volume one."

"Ooh, that's a pretty big notebook."

"That's volume one."

Heee! And in shorthand, too...

I tired and cranky and don't want to be at work anymore. It's not like I totally hate MSWord (although it really is a stinker). It's reformatting documents done by someone else whos favorites keys are the sspace bar and tab key. And of course they entire document is done in one style sheet - NORMAL - even though I've provided a wealth of styles to use.

Fucking Amateurs...

As for the Tardis - It's Magic (the television kind)

Oh yeesh. I work with someone who lurves to do the space bar thing as well and can never figure out why things format oddly down the line.

I *SO* miss WordPerfect and its reveal codes. *sigh*

And magic! Yes! Like how the TARDIS can clean clothes and dust and vacum. (Although the TARDIS totally needs DRDs. Little, blue DRDs.)

I have the get away car all gased and ready, let's go. Quick before they see us. All I ask is that you feed my addiction for Doctor and Rose fic.

No fic at the moment.

Will this do?

Or this?

Squeeeeeeeee I love it.

aw. i missed you too, pookie.

Yay! You're back!!
