Boxing Day Miscellanea

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas if you celebrate.  And now, onward!

I thought the DW Christmas Special was disappointing.  Not enough Amy and Rory!  But Eleven was hilarious and adorable, as always (especially when pretending to be a babysitter), and it was kind of cute that Amy and Rory were playing dress up on their honeymoon. ;)  The S6 trailer looks great--I can't wait!

In the department of Christmas presents, my dear little brother got me a sonic screwdriver, haha.  And I got a bunch of iTunes credit--any suggestions for downloads?  My favorite artist right now is Regina Spektor, but I like a lot of folky pop and alternative and some electropop.  

Also, anybody play chess?  I am spectacularly awful at it, but I recently got a Chess.com account (free!) and would love to play against you lovely people.  Even better if you wanted to play a couple tutorial-type games so I could find out what I'm doing wrong, but I wouldn't expect that of anyone, of course.  They let you set your time limit and they have a chat function.  I'm Mercury_10 over there if you're interested.  :)

The underuse of Rory and Amy was definitely sad, though I otherwise enjoyed the Christmas special. I echo your excitement about the S6 trailer! I look forward to seeing what they're doing with the Utah landscape, not to mention Neil Gaiman's episode!

As for music, you should check out Girlyman! They're a folk-pop trio with absolutely gorgeous harmonies and wonderful songwriting. Here's a Doctor Who S1 vid set to their song "Hey Rose," and here's a performance of "Joyful Sign."

Also, Mumford & Sons are worth checking out. Here's an Amy/Rory vid set to [part of] "Sigh No More," and there's a music player on their website.

Ooh, thanks for the suggestions! Way to get me interested with DW fanvids, hehe....
