New Who Woo Who

rosawI am really enjoying the "new" Dr. Who (I know all my bittorrent-esque friends are now a Dr. ahead of me so new Dr. is losing a bit of clarity as a description). Last night Shaun of the Dead was a guest star on the older new dr who. Dude, he was awesome, even without the zombies (or perhaps there were zombies, in the right light and if you were squinting). No (more) spoilers in case the three other people I know who are only watching it on SciFi haven't had a chance to see it yet. I love Rose, I adore the Dr. and I hardly notice the plots for all the "oooh, pretty" that I am getting from Dr. and Rose.
My life is trundling along at its new pace, which I am struggling to adjust to. The future -- still a big unknown -- and the possibility of an article are both rattling 'round my brain. The kernel of article idea is currently hooking up with possible argument/evidence combinations and hopefully will soon bloom into a full-blown idea. Other than that, I prep for teaching, drive to teaching, teach, drive home from teaching, fret about $3/gallon and my commuting life, and wonder if I missed the career boat. But nothing exciting much these days. Planning for Hawaii, dieting (so that the ever-constant thoughts about food intrude on my prep-drive-teach-drive daily routine) blah blah blah.
That adjusting has really cut into my 30 minutes of writing per day plan. And I have no ideas about what to write. (Excuse me, ms. famous author, where do ideas come from? Do you have a map?) So, flexible girl that I am, I've translated that writing time into 60 minutes of spanish per day via Rosetta Stone software for Spanish. It's kind of cool and I am learning a bunch. I appreciate that it's not just grammar grammar grammar but jumps right in with sentences and questions and new vocabulary. I still talk like a 3 year old (la camisa es rojo) but hopefully this will improve with learning and practice.
This weekend I am going to get out the apartment for a while, though the weather, so lovely earlier this week, is not as warm and temperate as I would have liked for the weekend. I am ready to wear some cute skirts and sandals, and not wear any more socks (I hate socks, I consider them the indicator of winter, my least favorite season). Still, today is a jeans and tennie-shoe day, all cloudy and cool outside.
What are you all up to this fine weekend?
