“Whatsoever things are true”

I have got to stop obsessing about Doctor Who. I’ve tried distracting myself by looking for work, but it’s not helping — the job search is just as frustrating as the nitpicking. (Besides, I’ve been looking for work nonstop for the past six weeks. I’m not sure I can spend any more brain cycles on it than I already am.) So I thought I’d make a list of journal entries that I’d like to write this autumn, that aren’t in any way, shape, or form connected to Doctor Who.

Books

• First Impressions of White Night
• First Impressions of 1634: The Bavarian Crisis
• First Impressions of Small Favor

Series

• First Impressions of The Codex Alera
• First Impressions of The Sandman
• First Impressions of Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Personal

• Reflections on Starting a Journal, Finishing a Degree, and Living with a Learning Disability
• Reflections on Becoming an Aunt

Of course, I’ll probably start by writing an entry about why I ship Harry Dresden and Molly Carpenter, and that is connected to Doctor Who. But maybe it’ll help me shift gears.
