Woke up at what I thought was 7:10 according to my clock. Went downstairs to find Caroline up and about. Looked at the clock on the cable box and remembered that I hadn't reset my alarm clock so it was 6:10 not 7:10.
But that's fine by me. I work better on standard time anyway. If daylight saving time went bye-bye tomorrow, I would not shed one tear. In fact it makes me happy that there will be light when Caroline gets up. She was happy because she thought her internal clock had reset since she tends to get up at first light and she had been getting up later due to lack of it. She is still happy because it is light outside earlier which is really isn't since this is standard time.
I will discuss Dr. Who tomorrow. I will say that I am hoping that the second part lives up to the set up. I ask for no spoilers in comments for those who haven't had a chance to see it for themselves.
I am stepping away from one of my current favorite fandoms because of just sheer meanness and fan entitlement. It is bad enough when it is just within the fandom, but they are taking it to the writers and the actors and that's not really cricket. Especially the actors who say the lines that the writers write and are not, in fact, the characters they portray. Fans think that they know better and if they get exactly what they want, they tend to not be happy with the results. I think why this one is annoying me more than others is that I know people working on it in various capacities and some of the stories I have heard including fans trying to break into the sets really sets my teeth on edge. There are lines folks and a few fans seem to think they don't exist for them.
Oh and just for the record, fandom was this screwed up BEFORE the internet allowed fans such access to the objects of their affections. It was just harder to get things in front of the people creating the material. Some of the Doctor Who discussions about John Nathan Turner makes what is said about RTD and Steven Moffat look like a child's tea party.
I got justification that I can write and write well. I know what I am good at and where I really need to improve. Honestly I think I just need to stop being scared of showing what I am working on to others. That and find some anthologies that will allow for new(er) writers to write for. Funny thing is that I do have a number of professional sales under my belt. I also have avenues that other new(er) writers don't have. Yes, I have connections but I don't really use them for my advantage like I should.
Peter is doing fine at Comikaze. He has signed a lot of autographs and talked to a lot of fans. He likes the hotel he is staying at because they have a channel that shows Casablanca 24 hours a day.
Not much else going on here at Casa David. Caroline and I stayed around the house yesterday due to the wind and rain. This morning it seems to be just wind which is annoying but not wet.
Today we have a few errands to run and some laundry that needs doing. But I think we are going to keep it pretty quiet. Caroline has Tuesday off for Election Day and Peter is traveling to Mexico.
I am grateful for kitty détente.
