Steven Moffat.

Okay first of all, everybody freaking out about the Doctor’s name and Series 7b in general and whatnot needs to calm down.

Moffat loves him some trolling.  Everyone should know this by now.  Also, this show is more than just him and chances are it’s going to be okay.

…that being said…


I love this show and I’m still invested and I don’t even hate Moffat’s writing in general but it has actually gotten to the point now where I WANT to care SO BADLY and it’s like he’s purposely devising ways to make that impossible.

Only three episodes left in this series now, yet I still feel like we’re only on episode three or four.  I WANT to know Clara, but I don’t.  I WANT there to be some shred of continuity, but there isn’t.  I’m grasping at crack theory straws because I know this could be so much better than it is.  I still have hope that the end of this series could absolutely blow my mind apart, but it’s a very weak hope because I’ve been disappointed too many times.

This is exhausting.

(The Poor Man’s) Mango Margarita

-Combine 1 part silver tequila, 0.5 part fresh-squeezed lime juice, and 0.5 part triple sec in a shaker with ice.  Silently reprimand yourself for using triple sec instead of Cointreau because you know it’s a sin, but damn it you are on a budget.
-Shake it like a Polaroid picture.
-Locate a clean glass and pass it through some running water.  Awkwardly sprinkle salt on the rim of the glass because you can’t be bothered to pour it in a dish and do it the right way.
-Strain drink into glass.  Taste.  Decide it’s a mite too strong to go with sushi.
-Locate the can of mango juice you bought at the Asian supermarket.  Open it up and pour it into your drink until said drink turns a pleasing light orange color. 
-Taste again.  Ah, that’s better.  But grimace a little at the huge chunk of salt that inevitably finds its way into your mouth because you did a shit job rimming the glass.
-Retreat to your room with the margarita, have a seat in your folding lawn chair, open up your takeout box of sushi, fire up your Gilmore Girls DVDs, and enjoy.
-Re: that last step: No?  Just me then?  Well okay.

Dear Game of Thrones fans who haven’t read the books:
You were saying…?
Love,
Someone Who Has Taken a Lot of Shit from Y’all for Liking Jaime Lannister.

(Until now. 
Bitches.)

No but seriously, Jaime has always been one of my favorites, and I think Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was cast perfectly and nailed this scene like a Danish hammer, and [etc. etc., everyone on the Jaime Lannister tag is losing their shit right now, just scroll through, I don’t have to be repetitive here].

This scene was amazing in the book and it was amazing in the show.  I am all applause and excitement.  The end.

“The world is full of love that goes unspoken. It doesn’t mean that it is felt less deeply, or that separation leaves a cleaner wound. Its beauty and its pain are in its silence. Some of us are not blessed with revelations or confessions. Love cannot be spoken, only shown - and everything that makes the heart beat must be hushed.”
Call the Midwife, S02E06

There’s this place in Kansas City called Snow & Co. that makes booze slushies - no wait, they’re called “artful frozen cocktails” - and to be fair, they are artful and frozen and cocktail-esque… but it’s more fun to call them booze slushies.  And they are delightful.  (They also offer hot boozy drinks in the colder months.)
Anyway they have this one drink called the Limey Bastard which is a booze slushie composed of gin, cucumber liqueur, limeade, lemonade, and milk.  And it’s pretty much the one drink I would want to have with me if I were stranded on a deserted island.Just thought I’d share, because I was just thinking about how much I want one even though today has been cold and rainy.  If you’re ever in KC, get thee to Snow & Co.

Can we please talk about the fact that the Doctor/Clara ship name is “Whoufflé”?

Because this will never not be hilarious.

I swear the LotR commentaries/special features are sometimes better than the actual movies.
