I went to Italy for a week and a half last month; a month ago today I was relaxing in a villa in Sardinia and thinking of how grateful I was that A) it was relatively cool there, and B) my friend had actually gotten my flight information and picked me up at the airport, not leaving me stranded in a foreign city with nowhere to go.
I managed to catch up on Doctor Who on Monday, and in a way I'm glad that I watched 4.08, "Silence in the Library," all the way through to 4.12, "The Stolen Earth." I think it helped me keep some stuff fresh in mind for the giant WTF of the season. *g*
