This year I am going to get things done.

So far I have updated Twitter and Facebook telling everyone about how I've descaled the kettle. I didn't want you to be left out, LJ. Actually, I'm now descaling the kettle again, because the first one wasn't enough. Descaler is kind of a new experience for the kettle, it's taking some time to get used to it.

That piece of information was an exclusive, flist. Facebook and Twitter didn't even get that one. You don't have to thank me.

So, and yes. The other thing. When I removed my desktop computer, I suddenly had these obsolete sliding keyboard and mouse compartments on my desk. It has come to my notice that these spaces have somehow become clogged up with bank statements, correspondence, payslips, cds, manuals and other detritus. I have no idea how this happened, but I assume it was a similar process to that which led to me having a cup of limescale tea every morning. Anyway, I'm going in. With a pickaxe. And I'm telling you all about it, which is totally justified and definitely not any form of procrastination or distraction. Wish me luck!

ps. We can has new Doctor this afternoon. OMG!

Richard Coyyyyyle? It's not going to be, I suspect. Everyone is talking about Paterson Joseph, and since I realised he was the Marquise of Carabasse (sp?) in Neverwhere, I'm quite cheerful about it, because he was ... good. I do remember being absolutely gutted with CE's defection and thinking that DT just wasn't going to cut it for me - that lasted about ten minutes into his first episode! So whoever they pick, I'm sure we can trust that he'll be a good 'un.

Good luck with the stratigraphy on your desk!

I just had to refresh my own memory with regards to Richard Coyle, but yes of course I know who he is, and I can definitely see that working! Paterson Joseph has definitely got my vote - as well as the Marquis of Carabas (sp - I think), he was the brilliantly unpleasant Johnson in Peep Show, and was lovely in the first episode Survivors, that being the only one I've seen to date, and is generally good. So of course it won't be him now.

I'd like to think I've got quite good at giving the next Doctor a chance, over the years. But of course I can say that now... before I know who it is!
