According to Livejournal its been five weeks since I updated. I figure its about time for me to post an entry randomly talking about whatever I can remember from that time. Which isn't much, what with leaving my brain on half-impulse power.

I got to paint. Yes, you read that right. Granted it was only some of the windows, but its better than nothing. My mother apparently still can't believe I'm complaining about not painting in kindergarten, but that just goes to show she doesn't know how long I'm willing to hold petty non-grudges.

Oh Char, guess what. I have the Armageddon Factor (last in the Key to Time). It was in the DVD player. Unless you have it in the case, then I have a magical duplicator DVD player. And I don't think you'll get your book back anytime soon, considering I've randomly decided to actually watch a story of Seven's before reading any novels involving him. And I finished the first book and started another, ho-hum.

Yesterday I started reading Catch-22. I'm finally getting around to reading it, yes. I've noticed that I really don't seem to read the books everyone else does, or at least I don't read them until several years after everyone else has, and therefore I do not fully understand what they are referencing from it. I read weird history books, lesser known science fiction novels, and comics of various shapes and sizes. This is without considering things I read online, mainly because that opens up a whole other sushi role.

I actually started typing this a day or three ago, but then completely forgot about it. I might have been just about to type something that isn't the random drivel. Now we'll never know, unless time is rewound for the purpose of seeing what it was I was about to type. What a shock if someone did that and it turned out to be "cheese carts go slow". Maybe in the future that will be an important piece of information. You heard it here folks, look to the seaports.

I've got my computer back! After one long month of not being able to stay up till all hours my preferred method of sleep deprivation has returned to me, my precious.

And after spending two hours updating it and adding all the essentials, I immediately made my wallpaper a Allan/Djaq/Will one, because they are lovely. Robin Hood is a very good show for anyone interested. I also got a bit more excited about this season of Doctor Who when I saw that the guy playing Will Scarlet was going to be in one of the two parters.

Martha Jones > Rose Tyler

A lot of dust can settle in a month. I now am aiming for more than two months of clean health for this computer, let's see how long I can make it last. :D

Bought and watched The Mind Robber for the first time yesterday. And when I bought it my dad said it wasn't one of the better ones - pshaw! It was the first episode I saw with Zoe too. That fight scene and catsuit reminded me of Emma Peel, only a bit clumsy. I think the second doctor just beat out the fifth on my list. My dad was making fun of the special effects while I was watching it. I don't get why people make such a deal out of the effects. The old stuff scares me more. (If anyone's seen the movie The Crawling Hand, that freaked the hell outta me, no joke.)

Also, Billie Piper and her music (oh so good!) have been interfering with the Bowie/Fleetwood mix I've been going for recently. But to listen to her I have to watch her videos on YouTube, and those are distracting. The dancing makes me giggle. Seriously, watch -- Something Deep Inside

I got up this morning and it was pouring. I hate wanting to be out in the rain but not wanting to walk there. But its going to cool down so that's good.

Do you people know how hot David Bowie is? He is, very much so. Everyone go out and watch Labyrinth.

Doctor Who is now over and I can't wait for next season to start up, even though I've only seen half of season 27. I'm waiting for the DVD price to go down (it's $70!). And I'm still waiting for Key to Time, I miss me my First Romana.

There's a channel you people should check out if you have HDTV. It's called the Tube and its 9-2. Good music when the only thing on is the news. (I hate 10 o'clock newscasts.)

Also - Happy Birthday Dame Diana Rigg!

Here's the link sis.

Is it bad to be so addicted to British television? Poor Sarah, I love her!

There's other stuff I should be telling you all, but I don't feel like it.

Yup, I'm waking this journal up from it's summer slumber. All new icons to go with semi-grand re-opening. I also think this may be a Pete Yorn year, not quite sure though - check back soon.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The best new movie in quite a bit of time that I have seen. (At least from what I remember)

GO SEE IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay so i came home and got the mail and noticed there was a letter in there for me. It was from Cambridge! It turns out that I has the chance to enroll for classes over the summer in LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be from July 14 to August 3 of this year. Here's some of the things I would kill to take.

Tudor Britain
Military History: The Clash of Civilizations
A Journey Through Randomness and Indeterminacy - Does God Play Dice?
English Literary Villains
Psychology of War
British and American Intelligence and the Art of Espionage
War and Chivalry
Intro. to Archaeology
The Celts and Romans of Britain
Britain's Popular Culture: 1939-1980
Superstrings: The Theory of Everything
Alfred Hitchcock: Master of Suspense
Egyptology

And those are just to kill for. There are more that I would cry over. Seriously. Now for the places we would visit:

London - four days - British Museum, The Tate Modern Museum, TOWER OF LONDON, the National Gallery, The Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Churchill War Rooms, some shopping, two West End shows, DAILY TRIPS TO STONEHENGE and the Roman city of Bath; Warwick Castle (oldest medieval castle in England), Ely Cathedral; and Stratford-upon-Avon, including a Shakespeare play at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

Now here's the kicker: It costs $5,595 without airfare. *dies* How am I going to get the money? I need to look for grants or something. It says to look for aid through community organizations or churches. We don't have a church. And everyone know about the state of our community. This would so be the BEST THING EVER to happen to me. If I don't even come close to going and will die from dehydration from all the tears I would shed. I'm serious. I think I shall go spaz now.

Another reason why I love Hugh Laurie and the British...

HL: That's right... okay, here's my theory: my theory is that English people are fundamentally mean, we like to look at unpleasant things happening to other people. We like to... we laugh at people less fortunate than ourselves

(Michael and Jane Laugh)

HL: I think... Americans, I think, are more generous, more open-hearted. They like... they laugh at people, they laugh at the things they wish they'd said, and they admire people who have the quick-wittedness to say them. I think there is something more generous in the way American audiences look at comedy, and at drama too. I think, uh, Americans like to admire and the English are just too mean to admire anybody.

That's from an interview he did at a radio station somewhere. ^_^
