In french, if you please.

BEHOLD! This is how my friend Willow (who is a genius) and I spend our time... well, our time dedicated to school. This is basically her french assignment, for which I did the visual presentation, under careful supervision and direction. The idea is absolutely credited to Willow. I just drew on Windows Paint. Oh, and if you click on it, it gets bigger.





Rough translation:
-What are you doing?
-I bought a (Dinosaur)!
-Why?
-Because... it cost 9 euros!
-*excessive dots*
-That's super cheap! That's super cool!

Hope you found that glorious, or at the very least, it made you smile.

Today.

Back to the good ol' days! The days where I would blog only about my dull, average life. Those were the golden days, weren't they? So very swell.

Well... right now I'm watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban, and my favorite moment: when they use the time-turner and Harry just goes, "This is not normal--"
Also, Hermione's punch was excellent. Just saying.
Let's see... I recently discovered my personal life is in a state of disarray which is beyond my control. On every level, I feel complicated. It's kind of ridiculous, really. Not one facet of my life is safe from the complications-- it's like there's some sort of crack in time and space which is totally killing everything (vague Doctor Who reference). Goodness me. I think my best bet is to invent a new sort of blogging which is sweet and to the point (like twitter) but not exceptionally pointless and dull (like twitter). It'll be great, just you see. Just you wait and see.

So yeah, I won't get into it much more than that. Everything's just confusing. By the way, you're welcome for taking away that two to four minutes of your time just to read my rambly nonsense. I only did it out of love.

For weeping out loud, get yourself together!

An obvious punny reference to the Doctor Who creatures, Weeping Angels. And yes, I was talking to myself. You see, I am now absolutely sold on the Who Front, and couldn't stop watching if I wanted to. Alright, I'll cease my childish gushing and get down to the review, if I can even call it that-- I am horribly biased.


Well, for starters, I'd like to agree with Stephen Moffat's description of Matt Smith's meshing with the role. Barmy and quite physical, the new Doctor does indeed possess 'Doctorness'. Among his many ingenious works, Moffat can now proudly add coining that wonderful phrase to his massive list of accomplishments. Ah, Stephen Moffat, what an impressive résumé you must have. But I digress.
All in all, I've read next to every review on the new Doctor, and his companion (the loverly Amelia Pond), and am now so tired of the word 'chemistry'. Not one person who has seen the show is daft enough not to see the chemistry there!
Just enjoy the marvelous way their friendship seeps into the performance, friends.

I've heard many outrageous things in my life, but one of the more outrageous would be the critics suggesting there is no emotion behind Matt Smith and Karen Gillan's acting. There is next to nothing but emotion there, good sirs! Well, the perfect amount of emotion, essentially. It's enough to sustain the fans who feed off their compatibility, but not too much as to distract from the plot, theme, or even monsters. I'd say Matt and Karen have perfected the balance of like-mindedness and drama. Together, they are an unstoppable force of entertainment...what about apart?
I definitely sense that Matt's an entertainer to boot. He does seem ever-so unnerved by all the screaming fans who crowd him (who wouldn't be), but then he settles on stage and just charms us all to no end. Let's face it, the man's a true professional. He's a legitimate actor, with more than one big project in the bag, and more than one trick still up his sleeve. We all see endless promise in you, Matt. Even those of us who refuse to look at it.

Karen seems to hold her own as well. After observing a few interviews featuring her, I've come to the conclusion that she definitely more than deserves the part of Amy Pond. She's charismatic, and lively, and I think that really bleeds into her portrayal of the character. She just seems very humble and natural preforming. It's good stuff. It's very good stuff.

Well, I'm done now. Perhaps I'll have a different topic to discuss next time, and if not-- well, I tried.


To my three approx. readers: Watch 'Doctor Who', the longest running television show in history, on BBC America. You won't ever regret it. I pinky swear.

Bwa-ha-ha... What? Who? Ohh...

As always, I will now address my title. A great deal of things have been unfurling in my life recently, such as my lack of ability when it comes to writing "serious" songs, and my closet obsession with Doctor Who, to name a...couple. 'A few' would've sounded better, but let's face it- it would've been much too wordy. Back to that obsession of mine, The new Doctor could never ever be wordy enough for me. Clare will be angered and perhaps dumbfounded, but I quite like Matt Smith. However I didn't see all of David Tennant's run. I have a precious few episodes of his, and cannot pretend to be an expert on the show itself-- just a new adoring fan. And with it's huge following that I've only just discovered, I think I shan't be as special as I thought. Now allow me a short review, if you will.
The new season is brilliant, in my opinion. Say what you will about Mr. Smith, or even the sweet Ms. Gillan, Moffat was a great choice for it. I think Stephen Moffat will bring some wonderful creatures and mysteries to the table, and give all these Who fans what they deserve. That said, I believe the characters to be brilliant. Like many out there, I see that chemistry between Matt and Karen which just makes scenes so much easier on the eyes, even when the two are covered in "sick" after being ejected from the mouth of a Star Whale. All in all, so far, so good. I'm definitely in for the rest of the season.
