Unfortunately the power was out yesterday, ruining my BEDA and disrupting my studying, although studying with flashlights turned out okay (when I was younger I LOVED reading with flashlights and even though I've grown out of that I did feel a little like Klaus Baudelaire). Seeing as it was Tuesday, something had to malfunction on my car. My left signal light went out, which as far as my car goes, is a minor problem but frustrating because it is the third time in two months a signal light on my car has gone out.
Otherwise I spent an insane portion of the day studying. I was finally able to watch the last two episodes of Doctor Who season five. I really liked this season. David Tennant was my favorite Doctor but Matt Smith is brilliant in a "if it can't be David" way. I read a really great quote about Eleven and now I can't find it, but it was something along the lines of 'it's almost as if you have to worry that he might be about to save the world and then see a butterfly and get distracted.' I butchered that; I really like the idea behind it though. I think it is a perfect description of Matt's Doctor and someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them. I think Eleven had a bit of a disadvantage right from the start because my favorite Ten moment happened right before his regeneration, when Wilfred was in the chamber and the Doctor had to come to terms with sacrificing himself to get Wilfred out. That was so powerful, and the perfect exit for David. So far this just sounds like I'm comparing David Tennant and Matt Smith, which isn't my intention. The highlight of season five was my favorite episode, Vincent and The Doctor. I love the comedy on Doctor Who and I think that Matt Smith is comically refreshing in a role that did not need to be refreshed, but has benefited from it nonetheless. I love Eleven, Amy and Rory (although I wasn't sure about Rory until The Pandorica Opens) I'm very excited for the new season to start.
Now if only The Doctor and his TARDIS would show up so I could go back and post this yesterday...
