It is Monday. Didn't that just happen? Why do we have another one? I'm going to write a letter of complaint.

I can't remember most of Saturday, aside from watching Doctor Who. I wasn't drunk or anything, I just don't remember it. This is the real reason I keep a blog: I'm not going to remember anything I did, a week from now, and it's a handy reference guide.

DEAR SAM OF THE FUTURE: Today you forgot to pack both breakfast and lunch. Way to go, champ.

I also have a fanfiction for you all. This story arose out of my adventures in Classic Who, specifically Tomb Of The Cybermen, which is a very ambivalent-making episode. On the one hand, as another fan has pointed out, it's almost better just as an audio; on the other, it is a really juicy Cyberman story, and some of the visuals are genuinely creepy. Most important to me, however, was the idea that Cybermen are capable of controlling humans telepathically. There's a whole scholarly essay to be written about the way the Cybermen's interaction with humans evolves as real-world digital technology evolves, but that's a discussion for another time.

For now, please enjoy:

I just opened my Semagic posting window and found that I wrote an entry yesterday and just never really remembered to finish and/or post it. Relic of my past, come back to haunt me!

It's irrelevant now anyway.

You guys, I am so hungry I can't even pick hot-or-cold in my magic food formula. I'm going to end up microwaving some cold cereal or something. It won't be pretty! It's times like this I wish I really did have Wildebeest as a meal option. It sounds so soothing.

I'm off to forage. I know I have lots of cheese...
