Cough cough hack hack
So I’m in Washington, DC right now, nursing a newly cropped-up cold, stealing more wifi from the lobby because, seriously, why would I go all the way down to the lobby to use free internet, or pay $10 to use it comfortably in my bed? That’s ridiculous. What is this, Fairfax Marriot, 1994? Sheesh. Continue reading “Cough cough hack hack”
TheseFolk: Lost in a city of books
Edited entirely on the flight to DC, uploaded entirely on the stolen, free hotel lobby wifi from my room’s balcony.
Dedi-freaking-cated
So I’m writing this post in my wifi-less hotel room on my cell phone WordPress app, because I promised I’d post on schedule this week. Everyone else on the debate team is downstairs, either swimming or, for those of age, having a pre-tournament beer.
Oh, did I mention I’m in Washington DC until Monday night for a debate trip? Because I’m totally in Washington DC until Monday night for a debate trip. At first, I was a little apprehensive, since I’ll miss three days of class, but now that I’m here, I’m glad of it. If only to reinforce how much I really hate the east coast. No offense, but the west is where it’s at.
It’s ten pm and my eyes are glassing over and all I want to do is sleep, but I owed y’all SOMETHING after my shoddy and sporadic posting as of late.
Ok. Headache and exhaustion are settling in, so it’s time to go to bed. See you on Monday! (or Sunday, if I’m able to upload my thesefolk vid)
Cooking with Gandalf 4: Enchiladas
Closing Time: Craig and the return of the cybermen
Remember how I said I had high expectations for the God Complex? Well, they were NOTHING compared to my expectations for this one. The Lodger, where Craig Owens first appears, is one of my favorite episodes of all time. It also spawned the brilliant Chameleon Circuit song “Kiss the Girl”, which is one of my favorites from their recent album, Still Got Legs. (I also really liked “Mr. Pond”, and “Traveling Man” for the whispered line at the end, “just this once, everybody lives”, from one of my OTHER all-time favorite episodes). Anyways, moving on. I was SO excited for this episode, and for the most part, it did not let me down. Continue reading “Closing Time: Craig and the return of the cybermen”
These Folk: Vloggin’ on set
The God Complex: Faith and failure
I had a lot of expectations for this episode, partially because I love plays and movies that take place in a single location, and partially because the idea of exploring the ever-growing God Complex of the Doctor is long overdue. I’m not going to say I disliked this episode, because it was fun and interesting, but it definitely fell short in a lot of ways. Continue reading “The God Complex: Faith and failure”
Cooking with Gandalf 3: Eggs, Frenchified Toast, and Portland
More cooking, more noises, sadly less dancing, and 100% more shake weights.
The Girl Who Waited: Handsy robots and heartbreak
I should have written this post the minute I watched this episode. Nothing in this blog can measure up to the emotion I felt after the first viewing. Nothing can ever reach that level again. Holy crap. Continue reading “The Girl Who Waited: Handsy robots and heartbreak”
