do you hear that ominous music?

i. Well, drat. Xanga is eating my entries. So I am posting here instead. Said entries mostly consisted of 'AGH THERE ARE ADOLESCENT BOYS INVADING THE PEACE AND SANCTITY OF MY HOME'. Which is to say that my brother is having a birthday party. Mostly they have been quiet, because they were watching a James Bond film (not, unfortunately, the one with JOHN CLEESE IN IT AHAHAHAHA) and are now watching Astro Boy cartoons, but they have had a good deal of sugar and I am just waiting for the storm to break.

The cake is quite good, though. (And I've got batter and icing smeared all down my cape. Oh, dear.)

And the pizza, which is Dad's doing, and he made me a bit with sesame seed crust, which is really very marvellous.

ii. You know what someone ought to make? TONKS BARBIES. I mean, come on, there are Lord of the Rings dolls. I want a Tonks one. With hair that changes colour when you put it in hot water. And lots of outfits to play with. (And lady_moriel tells me that there are Tenth Doctor action figures. !!!!! Yes, one of those, too, please. He can sit on my bookshelf next to Gollum.)

iii. There are some ramblings up on Ink & Chocolate concerning Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Paradise Lost, and Dubliners. And my musical coming of age.

iv. Edited to record this gem of a conversation:
Mum: Well, guys have issues we don't understand.
I: Yes, but we've got more issues--pregnancy, periods, mood-swings--
Brother's friend: EEW, PERIODS.
Brother: What's so bad about punctuation marks?
Mum & I: [nearly choke to death]

ii. ohemgee, Tenth Doctor action figures??? If I got one, then I could set him up next to Nelle's Oscar Wilde action figure and ohemgeethesquee!!! Also, the Tonks action figures sound brilliant. Changing colour in water? Nice.

iii. Hm, will definitely be checking that out. How have I never been there before? Could I BE more of a slacker? Anyway, I'll definitely check it out. ♥

iv. -laughs- That's brilliant. It pretty much made my day. Wouldn't it be interesting/bizarre if instead of calling our cycles periods we called them full stops?

OMG DOCTOR AND WILDE. OMG OMG OMG. :DD I SHOULD GET A T.S. ELIOT ACTION FIGURE. And then I could put Eliot in the TARDIS, or something. And he could go disturb the universe. *glee*

*giggles* Go disturb the universe in the TARDIS? Really, Jo, that was an awful joke. (♥!)

OMGOMGOMG, WHAT IF there was an episode of Doctor Who where he meets Wilde and Eliot?? I mean, granted, Eliot was only 12 and still in America when Wilde died in Paris, but it could work somehow, right??

(I think I would DIE of the squee.)

There really ought to be Doctor Who icons with that quote. I'm surprised that I haven't seen any yet. (ressie_noldo, don't tell me I thought of this before you did?)

THAT WOULD BE THE BEST EPISODE EVER. ♥ Even better than the reported Doctor-meets-Shakespeare episode this coming season, which I am totally excited for.
