Of the things

mirrorred_starYesterday I was helping build a food forest at a primary school. It's like a veggie garden, except there's fruit trees and herbs and veggies as well. And the second I got home, I had a long hot shower because my muscles were Not Happy. My muscles are still a tad whiney today, but not as much as last night. And it's different muscles doing the complaining.

I could go see X-men: Origins with the Continuum crew, which will almost certainly leave me stuck at a train station somewhere in geelong at 8 o'clock at night, and either hope my parents are home so I can ask for a ride or get a taxi back.
Okay, I just put in for it. We'll see how it goes.

Doctor Who: The Almost People- There were parts of this I thought were brilliant, and parts that sucked, and parts that are either internally inconsistent or completely awful. Like, regardless of what Moffat and /or the writer said, the doctor killed an Amy. You cannot go on about how these copies are just as much real as the real versions, and then splat a copy that had been her for nine months and pretend like it's fine. It's undoing the work put into letting us know that these copies are just as real, just as deserving of existence.
Also, that the Doctor didn't even let Amy have a say in what she could or should do about being pregnant, let her continue journeying if she wants to, let her stop if she wants to, but just let her know. It's just wrong.
I initially liked the whole 'it's not really Amy' twist, but once you think about it, it doesn't work.
I liked the two doctors, and that they gamed Amy (and in hindsight, timelord/doctor's reaction to Amy telling him he was killable was pretty impressive. I was sad that Amy was distinguishing between them, though.
And just seeing the interplay between the two Doctors was fun.
