April is the cruelest month
I had my third exam (out of five) this morning in the arena. And it was freezing. What I learned: writing an exam in a freezing cold hockey rink is not so much conducive to smart thoughts. I would rather have skated. But at least it's over! Haha - take that Literary Landmarks! Not to sound overly dramaztic or anything, but worst class ever! Taking a whirlwind tour through Western Literature from Chaucer to Salman Rushdie and more is not as much fun as you might think. Especially when you have to read and discuss something like T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" in only ONE CLASS and then are expected to come up with something Deep and Insightful to say about it in the exam. Oy. But still, not actually that bad an exam, and it is over! Goodbye notes!
And now I should really go food shopping, but it's too cold (TOO GAWD DAMN COLD! IN APRIL!) and I don't wanna. I REALLY should though, my food situation is getting desperate. In fact, in my possession there is only:
-half a box of cheerios
-one can of tomato soup
-one can of tuna
-a piece of chicken that's been in my freezer since Christmas
-some frozen vegetables
-and lots of tea bags and various assorted condiments that put together make nothing even close to resembling a meal.
Uh... I will go. Soon(ish). *grabs the tomato soup*
Anyway, in more cheery news, I'm finally d-loading the new Who ep. I only waited this long because I didn't want to let myself watch it (or even contemplate the ide of watching it) before my exam. But now, without another exam until friday, I plan to enjoy it throughily! And yes, I have heard one or two things about the Doctor and a kitten, and yes, I think it sounds heart-breakingly adorable, but I Don't Want to Know Anything! *blindfolds herself as she explores the flist* There, that should do it. ;)
And finally, I really miss Robin Hood! I know, it's weird, but... I just want more of my cheesy historical BBC crack! *wails* There needs to be more fic and discussions and snuggly-wuggly Robin/Marian OTPness. Hmm... I think I may have to write some of that myself though. Oh well, I guess there's worse wastes of time. *g* Those of you who haven't seen the BBC's new version of Robin Hood, um... save yourselves? No, it's awesome - just so damn cheesy and yet wholly addicting at the same time. And I want more!!!!!!
*goes a-searching*
Dude, there's got to be some Robin/Marian fluff somewhere.

Your food stash sounds oddly similar to mine. Though you're missing an old box of mac and cheese. EVERY COLLEGE STUDENT NEEDS A BOX OF PASTA WITH BRIGHT ORANGE CHEESE.

Heh. I love you. <3333333

*nods*
I won't spoil you for anything, but I will say, David Tennant and kittens goes a LONG way to making me feel better about this world and everything in in it. Oh, yes.
And I want more Robin Hood, too!!! When does it come back?!
no subject
Though gotta say, the fact that the kittens were there kids - um... ew? But on a purely OMG!squee look at Ten with the FLUFFIES scale it was awesome! And while not my favourite episode (though in my mind it would be hard to follow up fricken' Shakespeare!), I must say that I think I just fell more in love with Ten for his Gallifrey moment at the end. I love Ten (don't get me wrong) but up until this point I never really felt that depth of... loss, that made Ninesuch a real and wonderful and human(?) character. And then Ten goes and says all that stuff about Gallifrey. *sniff*
I also think it's just hilarious that Martha always wants to know everything (and can you blame her?) and that's what the Doctor finds so perplexing. Hee!
ROBIN HOOD. I don't know when it comes back, the fall maybe? I must have fic in the interim! It pains me that so much of this fandom seems to be dominated by the 14-year-old girl faction. (Not to be rude to the 14-year-olds, but uh... most of you suck. No wait, that's still rude. ;)) Anywho, is it too much to ask to have some well written fluff? Hmm?
*raises eyebrow at teh Goldy*

I refuse to dwell on it! REFUSE! This is the LAST time we ever, ever, EVER discuss how a human woman pops out baby kittens, okay? OKAY.
Whew.
You were so much nicer about 'Gridlock' than me. Heh. David's acting felt so off to me in it. Which is strange (for me), given that nearly everything David does gives me fits. But... eh. It just didn't feel right.

I've actually had to fanwank this an awful lot, because it seemed so out of left field to me, especially after last week when he was all bouncy!gleeful!Ten. But, eh. I think I've chalked it up to the Rose!pain acting as some sort of catalyst for reliving all the other pain in his life. It's making me fret, because the previews for next week indicate MORE ANGST for the Doctor, and HASN'T THE MAN BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH?! *weeps*
*raises eyebrow at teh Goldy*
Ack! I always feel the need to respond to challenges. Hmm... when's your birthday, again? *runs off to check*
no subject
Though on second viewing, I gotta say that I love all those little moments of the Doctor travelling through the cars. Those little glimpses we got into the everyday, often bizarre, lives of all those people was sooo neat. Art dep't did a good job. ;)
Hmm... when's your birthday, again?
JULY FIRST!!!! *dances*
no subject
So in some ways I guess Ten's ending kinda redeemed that for me
I wanted it to be more subtle. And it was... very much NOT subtle. (And I hate the hymn. I hated the hymn so much.) It was just so sudden and unexpected and he was tearing up and emoing and going into long poetic speeches, and it just left me a little disaffected. But I can fanwank it, don't worry. :)

Heh! I know. That was my very favourite part of the episode. So much adorable!
And then there was that poster on the one wall that said 'Bad Wolf' in Japanese. They are playing with our heads and I Don't Like It.JULY FIRST!!!! *dances*

Aw see, I liked the hymn, it made me feel all mushy and gooey and heartwarmed and all those other things. So maybe my fanwank is that the soundtrack was just playing sentamentality on my emotions and I let myself be swayed by their dulcet tones. *g* Anyway, it somehow worked for me, though it may not hold up so well another time. We'll see, so far I'm just enjoying watching Ten run amok through the cars and Kittens!

Well! The popular theory seems to be that it's a reference to the Master, who is supposed to be the Big Bad at the end of this season. (Not Daleks! *gasp*) I guess the Master is an old school villain. And from what I can glean from wikipedia and fandom, he is either A). The Doctor's evil brother B). Some version of the Doctor from a future regeneration or C). The Doctor's evil son! It all sounds very twisty. *G*
(Also, it should be noted, I love the idea of some future version of the Doctor being evil! That's so awesome. :D)

Heh! You were so manipulated. I think a spent a lot of time wincing at Freema's bad acting, and then wincing again at David's over-acting. Sigh. Maybe I should try watching again when I'm not so hormonal.
Ooh. Haven't asked you yet, but what do you think of Martha so far?

And the job search is... er... stagnant. Boo. How's your going?

I love/hated the new Who episode... I can't really decide, it's like it was almost awesome but there needed to be more somehow.
