Holy crap, three days to the finish line. Three days, y'all! Let's talk Doctor Who.

I am so, so close to the end, and simultaneously buried with the busiest part of my working year. So pardon me if I am brief.

Let's talk Doctor Who.

Ninety Nine Percent. I am now 99% complete with this ridiculous project, and will wrap it up on Monday morning. I will be doing a Facebook Live if for some reason you want to watch me sweat and shout with glee as I cross the finish line. But before I can do that, I have to talk about today's episode of Doctor Who. Let's get it done.

When I wrote about this story last year when it first aired, I only had one non-spoilery sentence. This time around I should elaborate just a bit more. So let's do that.

I got a bit behind again, but I am catching up here. I still need to double up on two days to finish on schedule, so right now I am targeting Saturday and Sunday to do that. Holy cow, a week from now I will be done with this ridiculous project, can you believe it?!?

So anyway, let's talk about haunted houses.

Oh, such a Sunday this was. I had the closing performance of the stage show I have been in, and it was a doozy. Due to the lead becoming extremely ill during the performance (but not while onstage, thankfully), the whole thing went sideways about halfway through. It made for a memorable live performance, anyway. As for Doctor Who, I did indeed watch a new episode.

So let's talk about that.

A show last night, a two show day today, and a closing show tomorrow, plus my busiest time of year for work - I am exhausted. I elected to sleep this morning instead of getting in my treadmill time. I’ll double up on Monday, and again next Sunday, in order to finish on schedule. Visiting the London Frost Faire with Bill and the Doctor will have to wait until tomorrow. 

So far today I have worked a full day at my regular job, spent an hour on the treadmill watching Doctor Who, performed onstage in a theatrical production, and now I need to write this blog post before I go to bed. What are the odds that I am just going to copy and paste what I wrote a year and a half ago when this episode first aired? (Hint: the odds are pretty dang good.)

Here I am, driving to the end of this ridiculous project and circling back to nearly a year-and-a-half ago when I wrote about today's episode on its original air date. The funny thing about reaching the end right now is that I am in the midst of finishing a month-long run of acting in a stage show, plus this is my business time of the year at my day job, plus  a few other bits of drama. Still, I am trying to push through to the end of the project in just over a week, so let's get this done.

Merry Christmas in July! Fittingly enough, here at the exact mid-point between Christmases, I have just watched my second Doctor Who Christmas episode in two day. That being said, it is certainly the least Christmassy of all the Christmas episodes to date. So let's talk about that.
