So Saturday was pretty interesti-

OH MY GAWD WHAT'S BEHIND ME?! PARANOID TURN ABOUT

See the readership on this blog does not include Saturday party's attendees (and to that one reader: dude, your illness would've been SCARED away after Saturday) which allows me to say this:

Fuck, Saturday has made me super paranoid.

See, we watched some Dr. Who episodes, which were pretty good. I find it between Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica, in terms of "campiness" and "serious business" respectively.

Though the amount of disbelief needed to be suspended by Dr. Who is sometimes a bit too much.

But more to the point: there was one episode called "Blink," which was purported to be creepy as hell.

Naturally, at 10 (or something) at night, the only thing to do is watch scary/creepy stuff.

Now I state this: the writer for that episode is awesome. The director is also awesome (according to Wiki, the director for Blink only directed that episode: it shows).

Heavy on the suspense, and the "pop-up" scares. Great atmosphere, and the extreme "lack" of the Doctor makes it all the scarier. Because for some reason, when the Doctor's around, I felt safe.

"Blink" was about these quantum beings that could move super fast, when they're not being seen. When they are seen, they take the form of angel statues, usually in some pose (usually looking like they're weeping, hence they're the "Weeping Angels.")

A lot of the scare comes from the whole "if you blink, they'll pop up and goodbye!" Naturally, the heroine of the episode decides to sometimes look away and turn back, which results in-

AH! SCARY!

And now, whenever I think of the Weeping Angels, I feel scared and look back like a paranoid maniac.

OH GAWD!
