Well hello there! Would you care for a jelly baby? They're really quite good.

I should be studying for psych right now, but no, I got distracted reading my friends old Doctor Who magazine.. I was going to type something important on here, but I've forgotten what it was.

Final exams for this semester begin on Monday, April 12th. I haven't bothered to look at midterms, I suppose that I should. I'm not looking forward to the english exam, mostly because I haven't actually read what we were supposed to read and.. really just hate that course. If I could drop it I would, but making up 6 credit hours and the written component would be rather pointness now. The good news is that my other courses are really fun!

I've had just about enough of quote ' diamonds in the rough' because my backbone is paper thin, get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in.

Yes, I think Owl City is awesome.

I got a kids meal from Burger King yesterday ( chicken tenderrss.. sweet and sour sauce all over my body.. - Dane Cook) and got a squirrel toy- it was probably the highlight of my week, except it doesn't actually move on its own. It does make an annoying high pitched chattering sound though. It can potentially be used to lure more squirrels to my army.

Tom Baker met Sir Laurence Olivier. That's the most epic combibation of genius ever, in my opinion.

Some things I found fun to read in the interview of Tom Baker!

... " Yeah, that's right. It was effortless. even though it was very galling to know that, for a long time after I took it over, the writers were still writing for Jon Pertwee, who had so powerfully imposed a big personality on the part. So there was still that terrible put-down style- Jobn Pertwee was absolutely brilliant at putting people down and being sarcastic, whereas I'm not very good at that. Sarcasm doesn't much interest me, really. I much prefer a kind of benevolent lunacy... because I'm an alien."

... " It amuses me to no end, when I'm looking at a bald, middle-aged man who's worn out with domesticity, then there he is in the picture, sitting on my knee. But it's all about the happy memories, isn't it?..."

...No-one likes being told what to do- and after formative years being badgered by priests and corporals ( see his excellent 1997 autobiography Who on Earth is Tom Baker? for details), Tom perhaps likes it less tham most. " Unless I rather admire the expertise of someone who's trying to teach me something." He qualifies. " Curiously enough, I didn't mind being kicked around in the Army, because it was very theatrical. I realised there was no hard feeling by anyone- it was just being terribly theatrical. I found my two years in the Army very funny, and it had a big impression on me."

... You've spoken about the "innocence" of your era. How do you feel about today's Doctor kissing companions and assorted ladies?
" Well, I don't know how I would've done it. I suppose I would have made it extremely funny. Especially if I'd rescued the girl, and she'd kissed me, I would've been able to be absolutely astounded that she was pressing her lips on mine, thining ' Oh, that was rather nice' and then saying, ' Would you like to do that again?'" He laughs. " But I don't know. It was inconceivable during our time. We didn't htink like that. I played him entirely... I never did handle the girls. Or if I did handle the girls, I always did it clumsily, because I reasoned that the Doctor wouldn't know about that. So, for my part, I played the Doctor without any sexuality at all."
Is patriarchal the word?
" I don't know what the word is."

Well that's enough of that! The whole thing was a fantastic read! I also found that the ' Take me to your leader or I will kill him with this deadly jelly baby' bit was Tom Bakers idea, because he didn't want to use a knife. That's awesome.

All the quotes are from Doctor Who Magazine from August 19th 09.

I think I'm going to go downstairs to the study room so I don't get distracted again!

Ta!
