The Clock Strikes Midnight

If you haven't heard who the new Doctor is yet...where on earth have you been?

This Buzzfeed article should sum it, and the internet, all up.

I'm a little upset at Steven Moffat's reaction at Helen Mirren's quote. I'm all for the Doctor remaining male, (despite being a woman myself) but there's a classier and much more diplomatic way to deal with it like "it just didn't feel like the right time," etc. that doesn't involve sounding like a sexist ass. Cause, last I checked, the Queen is not a fictional character that can regenerate her look instead of dying.

Anyway, I'm more than excited to see what Peter Capaldi has in store for us as the Doctor. I'm also interested to see whether they're gonna tackle the whole he was in an episode with Ten/in Torchwood paradox.

David Tennant's Face of the Day

Source: renlybaratheeon.tumblr.com

I can't wait for the 50th Anniversary. I've been less than enthused by the latest seasons of Doctor Who, storyline-wise, so I'm hoping some familiar faces will help reignite the flame of nerdlove in me. Not that I don't love Eleven, he's quirky and fun, the recent arcs just haven't been as exciting and emotionally engrossing to me as the old ones.

So many things to do, so little time. I'm sorry for neglecting you and depriving you of the brilliance that is David Tennant's face.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Here's some sadness to make up for any joy you may have had. :)

Tenth Doctor: The Musical

I was directed to this wonderful, almost tear-inducing video by my favourite Viking Junior (the younger sister of my wonderful Viking roommate) and would recommend it to all Tennant fans, if you have 7 minutes or so of free time. Honestly, I would not be opposed to remaking all of Ten's seasons as a musical. I do miss me some Rose and Donna (and Micky).

In other news, you'd think that being in my last semester of Grad school, with only Capstone and half a class left I'd be half done with my work and relaxing. Yet somehow, with one class a week for the first half of the semester, I still find myself scrambling to get things done on time. Senioritis? Aren't I too old for that? Who knows, all I know is that if I don't have a business plan/power point presentation for a financially viable publishing company written out by the beginning of May, I'm screwed.

Because it's been way too long since his face his graced this blog.

Also, if you guys don't already watch Psych, please do. It's a funny, nerdy, and smart detective series with absolutely amazing guest stars (Mohinder from Heroes, Kennan, Urkel, Daniel-Son, Freddie Prinze Jr., the list just goes on and on). As the seasons progress (there are 6 so far, 16 episodes each, with the 7th starting soon) they get better and better. 

Basically, it's highly recommended.

Merry Christmas!

To me, nothing really says "Christmas" like a roaring fireplace, some hot tea, and Home Alone, so it was a wonderful pleasure that I got to introduce my l3 year-old brother to that timeless classic last night. Tonight, Home Alone 2!

Just wanted to wish you all a wonderful Christmas, and if I disappear for another ten years, a Happy New Year!

I'll just leave you with these series of gifs:

Still one of my favourite episodes.

I love this gif, even though I wish the little pictures of Tennant and Eccly where bigger. Beggars can’t be choosers eh?

You know wot’s not fun? Food poisoning while on vacation. That’s super not fun. But it made me realize that Green Tea is the savior of all things, so I’m going to be drinking that like nobody’s business from now on. Yay antioxidants?

A belated Happy Eid to everyone (and Happy Ramadan before that). My wonderful little brothers got me a 3DS as an Eid gift (for those who don't know, Eid is like Muslim Christmas, except we get two a year...that's clearly the worst/most simplified/completely lacking in substance explanation you'll ever find on Eid so please don't go writing that in academic essays or anything) to replace my old one that decided it no longer wanted to be with me. It's pink, which is up there with my least favourite colours (although with the way I've been dressing recently, the hot pink dye in my hair, and the purple/pink Big Time Rush shirt I'm wearing, you'd be inclined to think otherwise), but it was also purchased with a copy of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance which is absolutely awesome. so all was forgiven. 

Ever since the first Kingdom Hearts I've been waiting for a game where I got to play as Riku, whom I instantly fell in love with, but Square Enix/Disney deprived me of that in the second one, and the plethora of handheld ones thereafter. I'm still waiting for a full length console Kingdom Hearts to come out (*cough*Kingdom Hearts 3*cough*), but till then I think I'll settle for the 3DS game, which is quite fun in its own right. Other must buys if you get a 3DS is Resident Evil: Revelations (thankfully, they only make me wait a few years between the epic console games...Resident Evil 6 in October!) and Mario Kart 7.

I'm going to go back to dying now. Let's hope food can be consumed soonly, at the very least before heading back to New York in two days. Would hate to start off my last year of Grad school/in the city I call home by being dead.

So, I feel like everyone should know by now but I for one was extremely excited to find out that Benedict Cumberbatch would be playing the villain in the new Star Trek. There's just something about actors from different fandoms crossing over to other fandoms I adore that make me giddy, if only to see if I can catch elements of wot they portray so well (in our dear Mr. Cumberbatch's case, that would be the logic/analytic/detached qualities of Sherlock) in these new characters.

And then, I learned today (after managing to convince my computer that there was in fact internet in the house that it could connect to, the router being a few feet away and all) that my first Doctor would be playing the villain in the new Thor movie!

I haven't seen Eccly in quite some time, and I've truly missed his face and big ears, so I can't wait to see him be all evil opposite my other favourite Chris (Hemsworth). You can read more about it at The Mary Sue.

Ramadan Musings '12 - Day 1

3:36pm, Mordor Standard Time

Approx 3hrs and 40ish minutes till sunset

I’m not hungry, but that’s nothing new, I have a tendency to forget that I haven’t eaten on normal days. Wot I *am* is thirsty, and all I can think is ‘the first cut is the deeeepest, baby I know.’ It’s the closest I’ve got to a pep talk.

It's that time of year when I'm seriously considering rewatching the new series of Doctor Who. I still have to catch up on The Mentalist and White Collar, among other things, but my heart yearns for Eccly and Tennant right now. If internet were not deplorable, I'd be streaming it on Amazon...I was going to type out 'Netflix' but those...lovely lovely people *cough*....are telling me that it's not available in my region.

Also, Big Time Rush. Yeah, bringing them back up again, because I love them and have managed to get others to do so to. Now, don't get me wrong, it's all silly and they are nothing but a boy band at the end of the day, but (as I think I said once, a long time ago), if you ever need anything nice and light and entertaining and full of ridiculousness and fun, go watch the show. Ignore the absurdity of the premise and give it a shot. Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I'm dead, this semester has caused me to die and the load screen is taking a lot of time to revive me at my last checkpoint. But I promise that I will be back soon.

In the meantime, if you're a geek or a gardener, or just love geeky or gardening things, you should check out: http://www.indiegogo.com/geekngarden?c=home

Help support if you can, spread the word if you can't, but most of all enjoy the geeky goodness!

Speaking of, if you haven't seen the Community extended finales, or haven't witnessed the magic of The Legend of Korra you've been depriving yourself of some serious entertainment. Go. Well, after you see wot Geek N Garden has to offer, of course.

Dear Childhood,
Your welcome.

Also, thank you.

Love,
Present you.

Apparently the makers/creators of Rugrats were huge Doctor Who fans. They based Tommy off of the Doctor, which is why he always carried around his...*drumroll* SCREWDRIVER!

Because I love you, you get two. I also just really like the way the pictures are softened.
