- Well, I'm officially unemployed now, but what are you going to do.

- At least now I have time to knit and read. I've been visiting my sister and my niece a lot over the past couple of weeks and I once again I get in an hour of reading while taking the train in and out of downtown. Maybe I can finish off the pile of books I got from my book club. I am definitely grateful for the knitting time. In my enthusiasm to make things, I decided to knit all of my Christmas gift. I've finished two but I still have two more to finish. Fingers crossed that I get them done on time.

- Speaking of knitting, I've been watching Jessica Jones and I can't stop staring at her grey scarf. It's an infinity scarf, but I can't make out the pattern on it. Hell, it might not even be knitted. But that's how my brain works now. I look at knitted items and I obsess over how they were made. I think Jessica's scarf may be a seed stitch pattern, but who knows.

- I'm only three episodes in to Jessica Jones, but I like it. Similar to Daredevil, they really down play her powers and so the show feels more like a detective show rather than a super hero show. I'm surprised they haven't referenced Daredevil yet, but maybe there's something later in the season. And damn, David Tennant's English accent is so slick; I'm so used to his rougher Tenth Doctor accent. I know Kilgrave is crazy and sadistic, but I would totally listen to anything he has to say with that accent. ;-)

- And Happy 52nd Whoniversay! It was two years ago that I got to tour the TARDIS set. Man, I really need to get back to Cardiff at some point. I didn't see enough of the city when I was there.

If there's an upside to unemployment, it's being forced to sit down and take a breath, and getting the opportunity to really think about what you most enjoy in life. I'm glad you're taking advantage of that.

I think I'm going to have to check out Jessica Jones, even though I don't tend to like gritty detective shows. I think I'm either going to love it, or get absolutely skeeved out about it and be unable to watch it ever again.

I'm glad David Tennant has such a great villainous role, though. He doesn't seem to have had any trouble with the "typecast as the Doctor" thing. I know that used to be a big problem back in Classic Who days; maybe it's not such an issue anymore? I certainly hope Matt Smith has the same experience, because I would love to see him play a psychopathic villain some day, too.

I'm watching Jessica Jones, too. I have a love/hate relationship with it so far--like, the cinematography and casting and the care with which they're handling the subject matter is really great and it's a super compelling show, but there's so much traumatic stuff happening that it's also hard for me to watch.
