Fiction Is My Friend: Part IV

Allons-Y!
(This post is bigger on the inside)

Currently I'm obsessing over Doctor Who. Obsesses is an understatement.
The aliens can be kind of dumb (they remind me of the idiot bad guys on Power Rangers) and the graphics aren't that great, but I love the idea of a time traveler that goes around making all of the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff work out the way its supposed to.

I think the big reason that I love the show so much is because of all the figuring out that has to happen. Its a constant mystery of what is going on. Everything is always changing. And its not just in the story that has twists and turns. The show has been on for 32 seasons and I only started watching it on the 27th. But it works. Ok, well I'm not here to rattle on about how the show itself works, but more to proclaim my love of it. And what better way than with things I've collected on Pinterest.

Eccleston was a good intro Doctor, but it was really David Tennant that made the show fun. He's a ball of energy that just feeds off of ridiculous situations. Regeneration is a great part of the show because it's about self discovery. Tennants entrance was 

"An amalgam of the races they've conquered"
Yay! Use of the word amalgam!

"Go sit in the back of the class with the safety scissors and glitter"-Mickey Smith

"Expelliarmus! Good old JK!" (silly doctor going ahead in in time to read book 7)

The 11th Doctor has my favorite fashion sense. But I'm sick of all of the hipster crap about him. Except that Matt Smith is totally a hipster.

DELETE!

Remember what I was saying about Tennant? It's necessary to enjoy his silliness and the evolution of the show. I'm really soaking up how Series 5 has a distinct plotline, but its kind of like Smallville, how you have to enjoy some of the stupid nemesis episodes of seasons 1-3 before the serious stuff kicks in and ruins the fun. Oh wait. What TV doesn't do that? Chuck sure has. Getting off topic.

When the new theme song plays it makes me want to dance like this. I LOVE the updated theme song!

But Matt Smith your Doctor is just so picky and hilarious!

Can you see my internal struggle yet?

Trust me. If you start you'll never want to stop.

Is It A Baby? Or Is It A Snail...

Last night for Stephanie's birthday party we all dressed up as Nerd Herders! (Have you not seen Chuck? Best awkward spying show ever.) Sarah and I specifically dressed up as Jeff and Lester because she will always been the Lester to my Jeff. Kristin assumed the role of one of the many Greta's, and Richard was probably the closest to being Chuck himself. Enjoy our wacked out on Jelly Belly's pictures and here's a reference picture. 

We're spot on. Really, dead look a likes.

Lester, Greta, and Jeff

Word For Wednesday

AMALGAM
[uh-mal-guh m]
-noun

1. An alloy of mercury with another metal or metals
2. A mixture or combination
definition courtesy of dictionary.com

This is a word that I learned this week thanks to um...Greek :) Since I'm not in school I need to keep up on my smarts and I think this will be a fine way to do it.  I will be more aware of my surroundings and do my best to pick up on new words that I hear and if that doesn't happen by Wednesday then I'll just have to look a cool one up and use it myself!

Also I love Urban Dictionary so maybe I should share this week's word in urban terms:
"Shaken with mercury (or other semi-solid), separated and heated until she is a precious metal residue, as in Shakira's moving of body in her Hips Don't Lie video and her appearing covered in molten residue.
ex., "What an amalgam. Shakira is so hot. I'd fo sho drink her dirty bath water"
oh urban dictionary

This picture of Cappie doesn't really have anything to do with my word, other than he is my current TV massive crush. Oh, and I'm talking about Greek so it's ok right?

What makes this week's word even better is that Sarah used it in a normal sentence yesterday.  As I bashfully admitted my knowledge of the word she laughed and said that they used it again on the most recent episode (I'm still on season one). Not only do we spend lots of time together, we are also creepily in sync with out vocabulary and TV schedules.  Also we are mighty lucky that we have crushes on different characters. Every time. Until you bring up Christian Bale.
