try this one on for size

I am one of the single biggest Dr. Who fans you could ever meet, but you will have to tune into my personal blog to catch my fanatic rants about the greatest Time Lord of all time. That said, this season is the best yet. Yes, for those of you out there who follow the show, you may have been hesitant after Russel T Davies' departure from the scriptwriting team, but just watch "The Empty Child," "Blink," or "Silence in the Library" from previous seasons and you'll know beyond any doubt that Stephen Moffat is more than capable of heading up the show. Furthermore, even though the show's budget has been cut, the show's visual appeal and storytelling complexity is better than ever. Moffat said in a recent BBC interview: "Budget cuts are tough: I don't like them, but they force you to be creative. You've seen that trailer. Does it look like we've had a budget cut?" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8580299.stm).


What I'm getting at is right now is a time for creativity. We're all piss broke and ain't got nothing better to do. So instead of figuring out things we'd buy if we could buy them, why not make stuff? Better yet, why not take the time to enjoy the stuff other people have made. I'm not advocating theft, but how about looking at the infinite nature of human potential. Like the TARDIS, the human mind is so much bigger on the inside. Let's see what it generates.
