The Spousal Unit and I don't do Valentine's Day anymore, because it's too much pressure to come up with some stupid gift or overpriced flowers or candy nobody needs (I have candy around the house, I don't need more).

And then I did literally nothing at all - though I did get to catch up on the phone with vala3, which is always nice. :-) After that I screwed around online most of the afternoon, then we hit the mall, which we haven't done in ages, and which was a misery because it was packed!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm excited to check out Peter Capaldi's Doctor tonight. I've watched all the specials BBCA has aired throughout the week, and it looks like our entire evening will be devoted to BBCA.

First we have the intro special with Chris Hardwick, then the first episode, followed by the premiere of Intruders with John ( Read more... )
