I know the last one doesn't really work, but I wanted to have something else D and I couldn't find anything that would work for glasses. Anyway!

First things first - may I just wish you all a very happy New Year? Hopefully you'll all have a grand and glorious time all told.

Secondly, and the first two things in the title - Every year after New Years Eve (sometime XD) my family and I go to a Chinese restaurant that serves Dim Sum. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically a buffet that comes to you. We just got back from it, and let me just say that it was WONDERFUL.
Several years ago, I finally got up the courage to try something that was on their menu that I'd been seeing for at least three years - Duck Feet. It was absolutely wonderful and delicious, and I regretted all the years that I hadn't ordered it. When I walked out of the door, it was with the intention of ordering it every year for the rest of my life. The rest of my family wasn't as impressed as I was XD
Regretfully, that was also the year that it went off of the menu, for whatever reason, and it has never been brought back. Every year I ask the waitress hopefully, longing for duck feet, but every year I am disappointed. *sigh*

Onward to the next part! Up until this past week, I've seen very few episodes of Doctor Who, but I've enjoyed all of them. David Tennant is, without a doubt, my favorite Doctor, and so when my dad turned on the television two days ago to see that BBC was running a marathon for him, leading up to the series ending, I was ecstatic. In 48 hours, we watched 18 hours of Doctor Who - it would have been more, but life got in the way.
I'm going to do this without spoilers, but after watching the Doctor for so long, I'm not ashamed to say that I cried at the end. If you know anything about Doctor Who, you probably know that this was David Tennant's last season playing the Doctor, meaning that there had to be a regeneration at the end. I thought I'd cried all that I would, but it was his last line that got me. Be sure to have a box of tissues sitting next to you when you watch it, which I highly encourage you to do.
The new actor that they have to play the Doctor has a very big set of shoes to fill - and I'll be looking forward to watching him do so.
Expect some Doctor Who fan art of the tenth Doctor sometime soon.

As for d'Eye Glasses (of Doom!!!), I finally got glasses. I've been the only person without them in my family, but the past couple of years I haven't been able to see so well, and I can't read street signs unless I'm right underneath them. We took me in, and it turns out one of my eyes is 20/20, whereas the other is 20/100 - the doctor (but not the doctor I wanted him to be...*sigh* I'm not obsessing!) was amazed that I had never had glasses before.
I'm still getting used to them, but they're pretty nice for the most part.

Happy New Year all - I'll be seeing you soon!

In loving memory of the tenth Doctor, 2005-2010
"The Doctor...Doctor...fun?"

Soooooo...they recently(ish) announced something that made me cry out with my most fangirlish SQUEE, quite loudly, and say awwwwwwww! when I saw the picture.
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep comes out for the PSP in Japan on January 10th of 2010 - and they have recently confirmed the ONLY Final Fantasy character that will be in it.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. I give you Zack Fair - KINGDOM HEARTS STYLE!!! [link]

Enjoy.

...and the very same day, I cleaned the library!

Alright, maybe not the original song...but true! Today I got a beautiful kitten named Ellie. She's between 1-2 years old, and she was born with infections in both eyes, so she had them removed, which means she can't see. We took her home from our local cat shelter, and my mom comforted her while I cleaned one of our spare rooms so she can stay there.

I
HAVE
A
CAT!!!!

WOO!!!

Sorry, little excited XD
Anywho, merry Christmas, everyone! Hope it's as good as my Christmas Eve has been so far 8D

!!!!!

Sorry, I'm slightly excited XD It got approved earlier today, and I've been mucking about with it, trying to figure out what all I can and can't do. The group is #Mad-About-Hatter, and it's for fans of Hatter from the Alice mini-series on SyFy. If you're interested in joining (stares at *malicon and *stalien ) then please let me know!

While I'm talking about the group, I also wanted to make a request - or a mini-contest, if you prefer. #Mad-About-Hatter needs an icon - and I don't have the programs or the expertise necessary to make one like I want. If you would be interested, I'd like an icon kind of like [link] , where it shuffles through the pictures with a little heart in the corner. The person who makes the best icon, the one that gets chosen, will have it used in my group, and everyone else who made one will be featured in a blog entry.


On a different note - tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Only two days to go until Christmas! WOO! Are you guys excited? Are we having fun yet, hmmm?

(bonus points to whoever comments saying "The time of my life", and knows WHY they're saying it 8D)

Merry Christmas, everyone!

sooooooo...lots of things happening! Firstly, I now have a beautiful little second-cousin by the name of Millie. She was born this afternoon (on one of my cousin's wedding anniversary and on the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor...fun) I haven't seen her yet, but I'm sooo looking forward to it!

I also FINALLY made my 50000 words! It was a few days ago, actually, but I've been giving my poor, aching wrists a rest. In case you were thinking of hacking my computer to get it, the story is far from finished yet! (Seriously, like, 100000 words from done...) Not that any of you wonderful people would, but still...just in case XD

And finally - my dad started watching a TV mini-series called Alice on SyFy channel last night, and he got me hooked. Part one was last night, part two tonight; let me just say that it was easily one of the best TV shows I have ever seen (I'm not saying the best just because of Firefly and Avatar, but it ranks up there with them) and was every bit as awesome as most movies I love, too. The actors were amazing, the story fantastic, and let's just face it...Hatter was adorable! Something about the ruffled hair and the dark, puppy dog eyes...And that hat, of course! I may be becoming a bit of a fangirl XD
If you haven't, I highly encourage you to watch it. The only really disturbing bit about it was the two second clip of the Cheshire Cat smiling (which was just unnatural), and of course the Queen said a line or two about "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" But really, that's to be expected! Apart from that, it was quite tame compared to some things you'll see on TV these days.
If anyone knows anything about the show coming out on DVD, please let me know, cause it's definitely something I'd like to see again, but I haven't found any information.

Merry Christmas all,
Tasha
