Things that cheer me. :)
One reason I'm able to be quite aloof re. the s8 train wreck is probably Doctor Who. Because we're [FINALLY] getting a new season, and there's even a countdown website: ISITMOFFTIEMNAO?
ETA: Since some people don't follow things as closely as me, some old (but still good) news: Neil Gaiman to write Doctor Who ep!
Also, there are pictures like this one. Dunno why I love it so much, but it just really works for me. (Stripey cuffs! ::profound love::)
And then there's stuff like this [from the latest DWM Production Notes], where Stephen Moffat talks about Matt Smith's clumsiness (he has previously described him as 'walking like a drunk giraffe'):
Terrifying Fact Number Two, is that I’ve just watched Matt Smith carrying a flaming torch on screen. Oh, it’s for such a thrilling scene in Episode 12. Really and truly, magnificent and epic. A proper movie moment. But never mind that, it’s Matt carrying a FLAMING TORCH. Look, Matt’s lovely, he’s a magnificent, brand new, hilarious, heartbreaking, heroic Doctor — but the fact is, if that man walks into a room with a coffee then it’s only so long before you’re wearing it. No, really, clumsiest man on earth. He walks like he’s in a constant state of surprise at his own limbs. I remember when he turned up at a Worldwide meeting really early on, and the first thing he did was spill a cup of coffee over a rather lovely woman. Naturally she giggled, flushed and introduced her mother. (Ahh, life when you’re Matt ! I accidentally made eye contact with the same woman — she phoned the police and shot me in the face.) On the way out he apologised to a completely different woman for the coffee incident. “That was the wrong woman,” I said, as he went out the doors. “Nope,” he replied, “That was the second cup.”
Oh, and there was the top secret, very special, extra readthrough for Episode 10 (I’m talking that up, but what the hell) and Matt came striding in with a GUITAR ON HIS BACK. I have honestly never seen a whole roomful of people flatten themselves against a wall with such a high-pitched squeal of terror. Except Karen, of course, who trotted along behind him without a care in the world. Oh, the horror as the Doctor spun and chatted and coffeed a series of delighted women. How that guitar arced and scythed! Swish! Get down, Karen! Swish! Karen, save yourself! Swish! Not her face, Matt, NOT HER FACE!! Ah, the memories. You know, to this day I’m not sure if Matt knew he had a guitar on his back — he might just have collided with a musician.

I *know*! (And he could totally throw coffee over me too, I have to add...)
I can't wait to see him in action.
Same here. People [who work with him] keep saying that he's going to impress everyone! :)
I clicked thatwebsite and it also said 384 days till Gaiman time, what does that mean? Is Neil Gaiman comming t Doctor Who, because that would be...*dies of fangasm*
You've not heard? I thought the whole internet knew. Yes, he's writing an episode (or was it a two-parter) for next year. I was supposed to be this year, but his script was too expensive... \o/

But I'm very curious about Eleven, and I miss the show, y'know? I love the 'verse, and more canon is always good! :)
