New Doctor Who Season // thoughts

I like this new Doctor. I like what she is doing. But there is something off. Think of watching a tv show as hitting certain points. When you have a really good massage, you just know. When you finish watching a certain movie, you are just left feeling amazing. That's what cinema can do. It gives you a set of problems, and who the characters approach the problem, and at the end get on top of it, sort of gives the viewer a feeling of satisfaction, like we went through it too. With the new doctor being female, that was cool. But apart from that, just as a Doctor Who episode, so far they have all been pretty good. The first two I was still in on the fence. If truth be told I didn't so much like the second episode. I think it felt too set up, and that took me out of the reality. I love these companions. Their chemistry is beautiful. The third episode was really good, but again it was missing something. I thought it was so beautiful, but it almost feels like its missing something....

So here I suppose the question because I've thought a lot about it recently. I am not ever really sure where I had gotten the idea that skimming was a bad idea, only it had somehow just filtered into my thought.

I think it some part it can have nothing to do with the author. Simply you are in a mood and wish to skip some parts that don't interest you. That's natural enough. I think some parts are up to the way the writing is set up too. I don't think we should frown on skim reading either way. I know that when I have gone painstakingly through a ...

Growing Out Of ...

This is the first post to my BTS blog for my other blog  hanzasshelves  -- on that blog you can find reviews on shows, movies, and books that I have read and want to be able to talk about with you if you're interested. Here, however, I am going to be talking to something a little less structured. It's something I have noticed, but haven't taken particular care of. To explain: when you're born, usually your 'newborn' size. However after a few months, because you've usually been nourished, your body is grown and you can no longer fit into the clothes you had. You get bigger pairs. Eventually, you get to a size after two decades where you don't really grow anymore maybe, but your style changes so you buy or get other clothes that fit that different image you have of yourself. Now without thinking about it, there are choices that you make and have changed to fit this new image you see in yourself, but I, at least, never stopped to think if all the choic...
