First, Doctor Who "Midnight":    Man, that sucked.  The unison voice work was incredibly impressive.  Everything else was crap.

On the Bellatrix socks, I had got down to the heel flap and switched to a #1 needle because I wanted the fabric firmer; did the flap, turned the heel, picked up stitches for the gussets, and got halfway through the decreases (with the instep still on #2) before I decided the foot was going to be too small that way.  Ripped it right back to the beginning of the heel flap and began again with the #2 needle; am considering it a triumph because in ripping it back I didn't irrecoverably drop any stitches.  Redid heel flap, etc., and am now about five repeats of the eight-row pattern from the toe.  Hurrah.

I just watched Midnight now, and I was going along with it until when the hostess sacrificed herself and I realized that the show was almost over, and I was like, "That's it? No repercussions? No obvious shame? And all because the Doctor has a fondness for saying 'Allons-y'?"
