It doesn't fit the entry at all.
Potential Activities for the day:
1) Go grocery shooping (milk, cheese, soda, cereal, tea, printer ink, plastic cutlery).
Pros: Obtain groceries.
Cons: Possibly lose my primo parking spot.
2) Go shopping shopping. Spend holiday gift cards.
Pros: Obtain clothes, books, possibly movies. Potentially splurge on dinner out. Ice cream may be involved.
Cons: Saturday evening - malls and restaurants = zoos. Also, definitely lose my primo parking spot.
3) Do actual homework.
Pros: Get homework done. Avoid last-minute panic on Sunday.
Cons: Doing homework.
4) Make cup of hot cocoa, rearrange pillows, and curl up with shiny new copy of Tomb of the Cybermen that just arrived today.
Pros: Tomb of the Cybermen.
Cons: Failure to get much else accomplished today, although I could possibly go grocery shopping after dinner - Wal-Mart being open 24 hours and all.
Decisions, decisions.
(Speaking of Two, it never fails to amuse me that he's hiding behind Three in that icon. Because "hide behind someone taller than you" is always a good plan of action.)
(Well, it works for me, anyway.)
[ETA] Resolution! There is A Plan:
-Buy groceries (done - shopping at Wal-Mart makes we wish fiery evil on large percentages of the population)
-Do homework (doin' it - verily shalt thou be conquered, Hardy-Weinberg equations)
-Get dinner (splurging at That Chinese Place, because I need their fried rice like some people need cigarrettes)
-Finish homework, fix cocoa, and indulge in 70s British sci-fi goodness, to cap off the evening.
Also: Numb3rs is so freaking amazing. As is NCIS. "Burn Rate" and "Family" have made a convert of me. In the privacy of my head I am already shipping Tiva, referring to David and Colby as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and writing crack!fic where Abby meets Greg Sanders.
YOU GUYS I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THREE NEW OBSESSIONS AT ONCE. I mean, at least with the L&O and CSI franchises my discoveries were, you know, spaced out a little.
HALP.
*goes off searching for Abby and Larry and R&G and McGee icons*
[ETA Round 2]So, during my Designated Homework Break (wherein I take 10-15 minutes to do something else), I started poking around the Who Wiki for the dating on the UNIT stories. Just figured I'd check, you know. For research purposes.
And there were a few relevant dates listed: 1973, 1964 (because the Brig describes something as taking place "four years ago"), 1969...
...wait. 1969?
And all of a sudden I was struck by the urge to write multi-Doctor "Blink" fic, in which Ten, missing the file that Sally was supposed to give him for whatever reason, has to get out of the past by hijacking, repairing, or sneaking into his own TARDIS. Three-and-Ten interactions abound.
And then I realized this would also be a great excuse for Martha/Liz femmeslash. Just because I could.
I really want to write this now. You have no idea.

WAITAMINUTE I MISSED ALL THE EDITS! Must comment now.
a) WHEE, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY CONVERTED! Funnily enough, I wasn't all that highly impressed with either episode you mentioned, but really, the end result is all that matters.
b) *checks off items* Tiva, yep. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, yep. Abby meeting Greg, new one, but it is a most excellent idea (come to think of it, did
c) YOU GUYS I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THREE NEW OBSESSIONS AT ONCE.
But isn't it great that you've found something to fill the Strike Era time? :P I've never tried three at once myself, though, so I can't give you any advice on juggling them.

However, "Trust Metric" was on rerun a few nights ago, and that pretty much blew "Burn Rate" out of the water. In fairness, it's probably not quite as amazing as it might have been if I'd followed the Colby story in sequential order, but...still. Damn.
b)did goddess_loki explore that?
Hmm. Well, if she did, I am intrigued. While I dont actually get that many crossovers written, I do enjoy musing on how characters from different shows and fandoms would interact, and Abby and Greg just seem like they'd hit it off especially well.
c)Oh, yes. Yes I am. You know, I actually sort of forgot about the writer's strike until I started wondering why there weren't any new CSI episodes on. :) It's a nice place to be.
