today was my second-to-last day at school, except when i rolled into town, i learned that one of my two profs today was at an all-day meeting; so i spent an hour discussing what we were all going to do over the holidays with a class of babies (and every single one of them offered some variation on “i will go to [insert family member here]’s,” til i had to forbid the use of “go”), and then hopped on a train to come back home at noon. JESUS CHRIST, WHAT A LIFE.
... i do think frequent train rides will be super high on the list of things i will seriously miss about life here, though. i think it’s my favorite mode of transportation. to be fair, i have been aching to get behind the wheel of a car for months now, so THAT’LL be a relief. but i will miss the shit out of the trains quand même.
so did anybody else see the first of the “doctor who” specials for 2009? “planet of the dead?” cause it TOTALLY aired, right under my nose; and i wouldn’t have had the foggiest idea except it showed up on one of my tv-show-piracy sites when i was trolling for new episodes of “chuck” and the like.
so yeah, did anybody else see it? i just watched it last night, and, um. well, i guess everything else i have to say needs to go
( under a cut. )AND WHY WOULDN’T THE WORMHOLE EXPAND OUTWARDS AS WELL AS UP???? i get
why they had to do it that way. but couldn’t they have thrown in some sciency timey-wimey stuff explanation? just to appease my offended sensibilities.
also, in case anybody is curious, when he’s all “allons-y!”, she replies “yeah, but we’re going towards a nightmare.” only with a pretty crap accent.
... though GOD, the worst french accent i’ve heard recently was tango on “dollhouse,” two episodes ago. it made my ears crawl up inside my head.
she says (or rather, attempts to say) “every word you say is like the grunting of a pig to my ears. the cars are SO disgusting. i don’t know WHY i keep using this car service in los angeles.” which, y’know, is highly amusing, considering the pain she’s putting
me in.
OOPS SORRY DID I GET ALL PRETENTIOUS FOR A SECOND? my bad, holmes.
i have way more shit to discuss as regards my stories as of late (“heroes?” jack coleman, in ep 22?! FORGET ABOUT IT) (“chuck???” SERIOUSLY OMG) (also, um, how hilarious was it, seeing adam baldwin tranqed AGAIN?!?!) (i wanted so fervently for him to start grasping at all the floaty lights) but i’ve got some errands to take care of, so i’ll have to spazz more later.
