You look time lord!
A double-decker bus in the desert? Kinda cool, although I had certain Harry Potter/The Mummy moments there (both movies I like very much, and I’m all for mixing up the genres).
This Doctor Who episode had some priceless dialogue in it, but the plot was not so outstanding - I keep noticing that in all the specials, actually. It seems to me like the focus is shifting more and more towards spectacular effects, too, which is unfortunate because the series was never about that… I mean, you can see the wallpaper falling off the back wall in the old series, but it was still brilliant! And why were there so many cheap wishy washy explanations in this episode? If you don’t know how to say “close that wormhole” in a way that doesn’t make a scientist with half a brain bash his head against the wall, then just say “close that wormhole” and leave it at that. By the way, how about an average-looking male companion for a change? I’m all for emancipation, but please, not all clever/courageous people out there a female and look like they’ve just escaped from a photoshoot. And I swear, if I hear the Doctor whining one more time, I’ll…. well, there’s not much I can do, I realise that, but I’ll just…. get very angry (beware!!). If he doesn’t want to risk losing people, he should just retire to a nice planet with pink fluffy things running around or something. It’s not like he doesn’t have a choice.
Now, the moments that made me not want the last hour of my life back: First of all, David speaking that strange alien language was really priceless (I wonder how many times he had to try that 
). I liked the genius with the Scottish accent who hung up on the Doctor, too (why did he have to be gay, though?). Plus the Malcolms and Bernards. The description of the Doctor as a “psychological condition” almost made me fall off my chair (it reminded me of a very similar moment from Casanova, too, and David had almost the same expression on his face). Oh, and the salutes. There was tons of good stuff in there, but I guess it’s just easier to rant about what they messed up. Well, everyone’s a critic.
Would someone who doesn’t know Doctor Who consider me a freak if I wear a T-shirt with “I’ll just step into this police box and arrest myself” on it? I could also get one with “You look time lord” or, considering I’m about to start my A-levels in a couple of weeks, “The worse it gets the more I love it”. If I end up in a strait jacket, I’m definitely blaming this series.
Negro kids in Nigeria
Here is the best of my English teacher… and yes, I’m completely serious!
It was homework for today - not the learning, but the studying!
Sex and stuff is forbidden in front of marriage, but you need sex and stuff to multiply!
Do you have a grammar at home?
Maybe you start at one point of the vicious circle - namely the beginning!
You know, the Southern drawl is like Asian languages.
I don’t understand. You know things like, I don’t know, how many Negro kids live in Nigeria, but you never ask important questions!
Things that girls should know by now…
1. If you think you are fat, you probably are. Do not ask us. We refuse to
answer.
2. Learn to work the toilet seat. If it’s up, put it down.
3. Do not cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than
short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married
women always cut their hair, and by then, you are stuck with her.
4. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can
find the perfect gift yet again!
5. If you ask a question you don’t want the answer to, expect an answer you
don’t want to hear.
6. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
7. Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to
discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
8. Sunday=Sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let
it be.
9. Shopping is not a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that
way.
10. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.
Really.
11. You have enough clothes.
12. You have too many shoes.
13. Crying is blackmail.
14. Your ex-boyfriend is an idiot.
15. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not
work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it!
16. No we do not know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on a
calendar.
17. Yes, peeing standing up is harder. We are bound to miss sometimes.
18. Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we’d be any
good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress.
19. Yes and no are perfectly good answers to almost every question.
20. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That is what
we do. Sympathy is what girlfriends are for.
21. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. Go see a doctor.
22. Foreign films are for foreigners.
23. Check your oil.
24. Do not fake it. We would rather be ineffective than deceived.
25. It is neither in your best interest nor ours to take the quiz together.
26. No, it does not matter which quiz.
27. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All
comments become null and void after 7 days.
28. If you won’t dress up like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us
to act like soap opera guys.
29. If something we said can be interpreted in two ways, and one of the ways
makes you angry or sad, we meant the other.
30. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway. It is genetic.
31. Don’t rub the lamp if you don’t want the genie to come out.
32. You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done,
not both.
33. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during the
commercials.
34. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, neither do we.
35. Women wearing Wonderbras and low-cut blouses lose their right to
complain about having their boobs stared at.
36. More women should were Wonderbras and low-cut blouses. We like staring
at boobs.
37. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months
we were going out.
38. ALL men see only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach is a
fruit, not a color.
39. Pumpkin is also a fruit.
40. If it itches, it will be scratched.
41. Beer is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
42. If it is OUR house, I do not understand why MY stuff gets thrown in the
closet/attic/basement.
43. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading
ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
44. If we ask what is wrong and you say, “Nothing,” we will act like
nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
45. If we hear from an old girlfriend, we will briefly fantasize about
having sex with her. But do not worry; the fantasy includes you AND her
together.
Mini-break from everyday life
This weekend was like a holiday for me! Okay, I worked on Friday, but the rest was just plain heaven. I desperately needed a break from my everyday life, and some time at home, not feeling guilty for not doing my duties for once. It was really refreshing not having to take care of about a zillion things that should’ve been done ages ago.
I don’t know how I managed it, really. Maybe it was that extra hour from Saturday to Sunday, but I actually slept more than 8 hours one night, which has been completely impossible for weeks. On Saturday I was supposed to study French because of the test tomorrow (so I probably shouldn’t write this post in English, but never mind), but all I did was prepare my English presentation (about Doctor Who, by the way) which isn’t due until the middle of November. But hey - at least I got some work done, and to be honest, it was fun!
Today (Sunday) was really special. Still no French done, but for the first time in months I actually sat down in front of the laptop, opened Photoshop and made a manipulation! About Doctor Who, of course (oh, before you say anything - I know my addiction is just plain annoying, and frankly I’m close to driving even myself around the bend, but I don’t seem to be able to stop it just now), and I quite like it. You’ll get to see it sometime next week - maybe I’ll use it as the new layout (after all, I don’t think I’ll be able to get anything in this area done until Christmas). Anyway, so that took about 4-5 hours (completely forgot the time… I don’t remember when I last had the freedom to forget about anything… lol), and after that I played a little tennis with my sister, and now I’m sitting here writing this boring story for you just so I can show off my English.
To cut a long story short, I really liked my weekend 
Oh, and I’m aware that all I’ve been doing lately is comlaining about my hectic life, but you should know that I’m doing a lot of what I do on a voluntary basis, and all I would have to do is hand over some of that to others, pointing and laughing at them while I say “bite me!” 
No, but seriously, it’s been like pressing two or three lives into one lately, and I know it’s not good, but I can’t slow down right now. Maybe I’ll realise eventually that I have to handle things one at a time. Maybe I’ll figure out a way to manage my time better in the future. Maybe I get my time machine working at last. Either way, it’s going to be good! :-D
Thank you for the music!
I am officially crazy about the movie “Mamma Mia!”. Is it just me, or are the songs in there even better than the original ABBA ones? Anyway, I saw it a second time yesterday, and I guess everyone else hated out guts because we started to dance and wave our arms like crazy (all this in the front row!!). But you have to admit that those songs are catchy even today, great for dancing, and that the outfits were just adorable! I haven’t been able to get the melodies out of my head for a week now, though, so that’s kind of annoying.
My favourite scene is by far the one where Colin Firth (Mark Darcy, yaaaaay!! ) plays the guitar and starts to sing “Our Last Summer” in his wonderful British accent. I would give everything in exchange for a nice voice - it doesn’t have to be sensational or anything, but I’d love to be able to play the guitar and sing without everyone pointing and laughing at me.
