I was thrilled to find that my cable was working yesterday. BBCAmerica had a Doctor Who marathon! I watched faaaar too many episodes. Still, though, it wasn't a totally wasted day. I multitasked. Dishes were done, laundry was washed, and trash was hauled to the garage to wait for trash day.
But that wasn't the crowning glory of the day. Nope, that goes to this doozy of a Lego kit that I found at Barnes & Noble. It was only 811 pieces...
Pretty much my favorite building in the world, Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwaters. Ya know, I really should travel there and see it in person. Building it in Lego was so much fun! It took several hours, but oh it's a gorgeous design. You can't tell from the picture, but there are actually four major parts that essentially slide together. Just elegant, beautiful... uhm, I'm gushing. Well, I made it, I get to be a bit proud! I tried shining my sonic screwdriver through the clear "water" blocks, but the light didn't get very far.
For most of the day, I also forgot to eat. It's just not very exciting to cook for myself. Usually, I forget to take stuff out of the freezer in time to eat it for dinner. Yesterday's ham was today's sandwich. Today's T-bone... well, we'll see what I can do with it when it's not an ice block tomorrow. I've still got some of the ham left anyway.
Oh, and if you're thinking of watching a re-broadcast of Doctor Who's Christmas Carol special? Make sure it's the full version. The one that shows in an hour with commercials? CHOPPED apart. I've seen the full version (an hour sans commercials) so I know what's missing. It's explanatory scenes, romantic development, character-building scenes... I can see why they cut what they did, but it was just too much to maintain the charm of the show. Now all I have to do is wait for Amelia's Song to be released! So beautiful.
