(…but able to fake being American)

Okay, okay, it’s been sometime since I’ve updated by blog, but I’m here, at home using up my holiday from work and having googled my usual searches came up with a new announcement that had me raising my eyebrows due to a mix of different types of surprise.

I found this today, it's so true.

You know you live in 2009 when...
1.) You accidentally enter your password on a microwave.
2.) You haven't played solitare with real cards for years
3.) The reason for not staying in touch with your friends is they dont have a screenname or myspace
4.) You'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the buttons on the TV
6.) Your boss doesn't even have the ability to do your job.
7.) As you read this list you keep nodding and smiling.
8.) As you read this list you think about sending it to all your friends.
9.) And you were too busy to notice number 5.
10.) You scrolled back up to see if there was a number 5.
11.) Now you are laughing at yourself stupidly.
12.) Put this in your profile if you fell for that, and you know you did!

“Are you tired of looking at me yet?”

I went to see Dorian Gray yesterday.

For those of you who don't know, Comic Con has been happening in San Diego and Doctor Who and Torchwood have been two of the big names headlining the event.  This means a couple of things.  Firstly that the lucky people there got to see the first preview of the final two Tennant Doctor Who episodes titled "The End of TIme" to be aired this Christmas/New Year.  But the top people for Who and Wood were there, including RTD, Eros Lynn (director of "The Children of Earth") and of course Misters Tennant and Barrowman, which is where it all gets a little interesting.

As The Sun reports (yes I really did just say that), when Tennant handed the microphone over the Barrowman, he first hugs his friend, then much to the delight of the crowd give him a kiss on the lips.  So there you have it, Captain Jack finally manages to get a kiss from the new/current/leaving Doctor, and The Sun has posted a link to it.  Go on, you know you want to check it out.

So, this is it. After nearly two and a half years, this is my last day of work as I know it. As of Monday I will be transfering to a different office and our team that we have here will be no more. <wipes at imaginary tears>


So far I have more or less cleared my desk. All that's left is the day to day file and some pens and stuff. My draws are completely clear and most the stuff went home last night. This morning I saved vital files onto my USB stick and deleted the rest. I have one file left which is like the paper file, a general day to day one and will be deleted just before I leave. I've deleted my emails as well, except for one, ditto like the other files. Now I'm wondering what to do. We have tons of food to eat, all junk food which will ruin my diet. And that's about it. So I thought I'd write my last blog post from work.


Yes, ladies and gentlemen and Phils of various forms (and 'L's), this is to be my last blog post from work. As of Monday I will actually have to do some work whilst at work, which will be a shock, and since they have no access to internet there will be no chance of me doing anything other than work. I'm dreading it already. ;) This means my blog posts will become even more eratic, but I will do my best to entertain you with the usual unimportant rubbish that I have dedicated my blog to so far.


Now I'm not sure what else to write. Mainly it's because I'm bored again and when people tend to get bored then their mind tends to shut down too. Later we're going to play monopoly, but for now I guess this is so long, fair well, auf weidersehn, good bye. See you on the other side. ;)



PS - just on a side note, Phil Glenister has quit "Demons", so that's the end of that. "Ashes to Ashes" filming over ran so it won't be on our screens until April, but it could be worse. I'm actually looking forward to it, and by then, who knows, I might have been able to re-watch season one.

Good news.  For those of you who care, I passed by exam yesterday.  So, yay!!!  All that kind of hard work paid off.

Now, if you'd excuse me, I have a flash game to go back to.  ;)

I have so far taken 2 phone calls today, both quotes, both under 9 minutes long.  I have been at work since 9am and will finish at 5.30pm.  Result!

PS - the reason why I don't have time to write a much longer post despite obviously being paid to do nothing, is because I'm busy revising for my exam tomorrow and still have a chapter and a half to go.  AHHH.  Ooops.  ;)

I hate this feeling. I’m actually so bored that I can’t even be bothered to write my blog. Do you ever get to that point, where there are things that you could do, but you’re so lethargic and uninspired that you just can’t be bothered to do them. I get like that every so often. I certainly got it three quarters of the way through NaNoWriMo, but at least I managed to get through that. Now, having had a couple of weeks at work where the number of calls has become a joke, I’m bored again. I’ve played silly flash games, read the newspapers, read various fanfic, flicked through ihasatardis.com, done some revision for my exam next week, and I’m still bored. I just can’t be bothered any more.

I have so many things I could talk about on this blog, but I can’t be arsed. I could talk about “Demons” again, finally say something about “Being Human”, update you on mine and my housemate’s theory regarding “Whitechapel”, comment on John Barrowman’s quote regarding the fact he’s now met Matt Smith and feels as if he’s cheating on David Tennant, mention that it’s Valentines tomorrow. But I just can’t be bothered. So, sorry, you’re going to get be rambling backwards and forwards with no aim and no destination in mind, other than trying to kill a couple more minutes before I return to another flash game.

Well, that’s five minutes killed. Suppose I should find something else to do now. Oh well.

"Demons" – Where Did it all Go Wrong?

Warning, this might take a while )

I have just answered by 4th phone call of the day - and it was a wrong number!   Yay!  What a life.  I have been at work since 8am, but at least I only have another 2 hours to go.  At the beginning of the day I bet I would get either 4 or 5 calls in the whole day.  So far, so good. 

On the other hand, it means I have time to write out lots of random thoughts.  At the moment I'm tackling "Demons" and where it all went wrong.  I've done over 1000 words so far and only started it over lunch.  No idea how long it's going to take, but I'll post when I get it sorted.  So that's something to look forward to.  ;)

For those of you who are interested, the 13th Shakespeare place has Tennant in first place with a staggering 70.8% vote!  Go fans, go.  ;)

Having thought about this though, out of the 10 nominees, for most people Tennant is the only name on the list that they might recognise.  It even took me a while to figure out where I had heard John Gielgud's name from.  Turns out there's a theatre named after him.  Good for him.  So, why isn't he winning then?




Edit: as of 23:50, Tennant's percentage has grown to a staggering 78.8%.  And here I was thinking he would win it with about 34% of the vote.  With just over 6 days left, is there any hope of anyone else catching. 

Ah, no, probably not. 

I have realised something though, out of everyone on that list, I think Tennant is the only one to be still alive.  That might have a lot to do with it.  Oh, and the fact David-Tennant.com put a link up on the website telling fans to go and vote.  Although that might just be a coincidence.  ;)
