- You have more patience; but actually, it’s just that you don’t care any more.
- Your memory is shorter and your complaining is longer.
- You look forward to a dull evening.
- You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
- Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
- You begin every other sentence with, “Nowadays…”
- A ‘late night’ now ends at 11 pm.

In a move designed to upset my my other half on Christmas Eve (mhahaha – it’s my evil deed for the week >-) ), I’m passing on the news that it looks very unlikely that Disney will be making any more Narnia movies (source Defamer.com who cite HollywoodReport.com as a source: but also see NationalPost, CinemaBlend, TotalFilm and E!Online – although they all say pretty much the same thing) and Jezebel is reporting that the new series (6) of Project Runway (which Katy watches a lot) is in legal problems which may stop its production.
Merry Christmas! 😀
“David Tennant is to stand down as Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show.
Tennant stepped into the Tardis in 2005, and will leave the role after four special episodes are broadcast next year (2009). ”

What’s wrong with the new Doctor Who that we’re getting through so many Doctors and companion? 🙁
