I think the real victim here are those objects that have nothing to do with Christmas, being made into Christmas objects. Why are people more inclined to buy Swedish Fish during the holidays if their packaging depicts the fish in santa hats. I suppose there are purely holiday based products like Peeps that are forced to adapt to seasonal marshmallow goodness. Also, candies typically placed in bowls and used as decoration such as M&Ms are fine to adapt to the season by offering red and green candies. But candies that do nothing to themselves, but change simply the packaging they are in should just be happy with themselves. If the candy makers are not changing anything other than the packaging of the candies than they have not put forth enough effort to adapt the product itself do not deserve to reap the benefits of boosted holiday sales.

Oh, DJ D, I awaited your response. I am totally not offended by what you said. I am not all update, believe me. Just look at my website. Duh.
Did you catch Torchwood? Not sure how they chop it up in the States. I watch all the UK feeds so, I see the eps 6 hours after they are on over there, yeah?

I honestly should move on and continue to the latest update. I was turned on by the Chia Pet entry and then realized I needed to see if you had responded to my rant.
I applaud you for doing so…
Moving on, now…

“I’m cursed with assigning very real souls to the stupid objects that enter my life, and I can almost hear them squeak with horror when I try to throw them away. ”

I do this too. :/ It kills me to throw things away.

… and your corsage is very snazzy. I would wear it.

The Other Lauren, I guess I’m excited because it’s going to make for an interesting story line. I was thinking that it was only a matter of time. I mean, it’s not like she died or anything. Oh, who am I kidding. Screw the story line. I’m excited about Rose coming back for the same reason that I was jazzed she was on the show in the first place–cause I’m a red-blooded heterosexual male, and Rose is just sex on a stick. You’ll probably take issue with that statement too, but there it is. She was the whole reason I started watching the show in the first place, but now I just love it for what it is. It really started to grow on me, and I’m totally addicted now. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Martha’s pretty easy on the eyes too, and I kind of really feel sorry for her cause she’s pining after the Doctor all the time and he couldn’t give a toss. But, that being said, she ain’t no Rose.

That’s a pretty cool license plate there. There aren’t a lot of female Dr. Who fans around here that I know of, but I’m sure they’re lurking around somewhere. Did you see David Tennant on The Graham Norton show a while back? It was pretty funny stuff. I was really apprehensive when he took over as the Dr., but now I much prefer him to the other one. I don’t want to see anything happen to him. I know it’s probably only a matter of time before he gets replaced on ths show, but I can’t imagine anyone doing a much better job than him.

One other thing I really like about the show is how there are lots of references to little things that happened a season or two ago. You kind of have to have watched the whole series to get all the references and everything. Something that didn’t seem that important from a couple of seasons ago can suddenly show up again–Like right after David Tennant took over as the Doctor, and got his hand chopped off, then regenerated another one. The hand went flying off a cliff and that was that. You never stopped to think what might have happened to it. Next thing you know, late into the next season, you find out someone had found it and was keeping it this whole time, and it ends up becoming the focus of an entire episode. I just love stuff like that.

I hope you actually see this post. I know everyone’s moved on to the Advent Madness, but I’m all about keeping forgotten threads alive and kicking. I spent a good chunk of time at work today catching up on old Advents. I finished up 2005 and got about halfway through 2006. I’m coming late into the game, but I’ll be totally caught up later today. This is my first Christmas reading X-E so I’m looking forward to reading the calendar on a daily basis along with everyone else.

GOOB- You’re talking about the “Video-Painter”. A friend of mine had it. It was pretty cool.

It was basically a Graphic Tablet for the TV.
