ryanreacts Well, of course I'm kind of obsessed with Doctor Who at the moment! I don't want to ramble about it too much, but there are a few things I have to write down so I won't forget.
- Previous episodes have been available for download at like 1:00 AM on Saturday, so I looked for the finale that early. Then kept looking because it kept not being there. Eventually I googled it and saw that this episode wouldn't be available until I was at work. I think it did actually appear shortly before I had to go to work, but the point is that the official DW yootoob account posted a short with the title, "SPOILERS! Watch the moment we said goodbye to the Fifteenth Doctor and hello to... #DoctorWho" before I had time to watch the episode.
- In retrospect, I should have blocked the official DW yootoob account a few weeks ago, when they posted a clip whose title spoiled Mrs Flood's identity before I was able to watch episode six.
- Yes, he really regenerated. I'm very sad about it because he was one of my favorite Doctors (probably my second-favorite, honestly - Eleven will always be my absolute favorite) and I wish he had stuck around longer, especially since his seasons were only eight fucking episodes each. Let's see, he first appeared in the third 60th Anniversary Special, then he was in the 2023 Christmas special, then eight episodes of season one, then the 2024 Christmas special, then eight episodes of season two, and THAT'S IT. He officially has the shortest tenure of any Doctor other than Nine. He never even fought any Daleks.
- That said, the season two finale is instantly one of my favorite episodes of the entire show since it came back in 2005. (Someday I might watch some of the classic series, but for now I've only seen the revival.) I need to watch it again ASAP.
- I'm not sure why they're being released in August instead of, say, December of 2023, but doll versions of Fifteen & Ruby are coming soon! I might actually buy them, but they make me wish I had a real home so I could display them forever. But yeah, the more I think about it, the more I should maybe definitely buy them now when they're easy to find and reasonably priced. Even if I do have to keep them boxed for several years, I will be glad I have them at all because I love the characters that much.
Work has been especially difficult this week because the AC in the kitchen hasn't been working properly for at least the past three days. I think it's usually too hot in there even when the AC is "working properly," but OBVIOUSLY it sucks out loud when we're in Death FUCKING Valley and outside is cooler than inside. I don't have to work with actual fire like some of the cooks, but I do work with a huge metal machine that blows out a bunch of steam every time I use it.
So yeah, I have been drinking lots of water and taking lots of breaks.
When we're at work we can order free food for our meal breaks, but the menu is limited. I've had the chicken tenders, cheeseburger, and chicken quesadilla many many many times. Tonight I finally tried the green salad with chicken, and it was so fucking good. I'm definitely gonna order it again soon, and next time I might ask if I can also take a small bowl of soup to go with it. Or maybe even get them to wrap it up in a tortilla? That would be great.
I have multiple pakidges on the way. All stuff I actually need. The first one should arrive on Wednesday. I still have so much more stuff I need to buy to make my half of the room as comfortable as it possibly can be. And then when I do have every single thing I need, I want to keep it so organized that I can easily find anything in the dark.
