It does memes?

Somehow even the internet does not contain enough distraction to get me to Doctor Who time. Would that this hoodie were a time hoodie!
1.How did you name your pets?
I think the only pet that was properly mine and thus solely mine to name was a hamster I named Cotton Candy. Because it was soft and fluffy. I was, like, eight, don't judge.
A few of my plants have names, though not all. I have a little cactus named Fred, a palm named Clive, and an elephant foot palm named Curt Cobain, for obvious reasons.
And I had some influence in naming my mom's guinea pig, Albert. I generally like the conceit of giving pets (and plants) extremely banal, non-pet names.
2.Poirot or Miss Marpel?
Neither. Mysteries are the dullest genre; I never read them.
3.Do you have a FB account too?
Deleted that shit years ago when they were gearing up to conquer the world. Sure one time nobody actually bothered to tell me my cousin had had a baby because of course everyone's on Facebook and thus knew, but no regrets.
4.Books - hardcover or paperback
Ebooks, largely. Nothing like years of working in bookstores, physically slinging thousands of books around, to make you dramatically unsentimental about printed text.
5.Mobile(cell phone): Windows/Android or Apple?
Apple, currently. Android for my last two phones. iPhone again before that. Could well be Android next time. I live in a perpetual state of grass is greener. Anyone who wants a lengthy philosophical debate about the relative merits of the two platforms, hit me up.

Well, that's killed a good fifteen minutes. Is it Doctor Who time yet?

Am attempting to make a post. So far I have extracted all your thoughts and roughly edited them.
May contribute something about earth imagery...

Sweet. Shall look forward to that.

Oh, my own kitchen is currently in the most appalling, unusable state--things piling up all week. I've managed to make coffee, but I'm going to have to clean it before I can even attempt breakfast /o\
