other things that are making me happy

finally Doctor Who has returned to form
i know it's silly of me to care so much but honestly
this series started out so well
we had a few good episodes
then it was just
RUBBISH
RUBBISH RUBBISH
and then we had the VanGogh episode and i breathed a sigh of relief
and then saturday nights which i loved too!
YAY!

and then
*drum roll*
it was announced that
TORCHWOOD
is definately coming back
whoop whoop

yep i know i'm a saddo
but hey it's makes me HAPPY :O)

so now i'm just waiting for series two of TRUEBLOOD on channel four
why is it taking them soooo long
sheesh don't they know i'm waiting?!

in crafting news i'm sooooo close to finishing the tardis cross stitch
yep i know i said it was finished before
BUT
i decided i didn't like the background
so a million black cross stitches later
and it's nearly ready for framing!
