Okay, Dah-dee, I'm pwesident. Now where's mah wolly-pop?

"Doh, ya'mean global warming is REAL? I thought that was just something the liberals made up to take our focus off of the war on terror."

"I'm too stupid to talk right, so I jus' give everybody the finger."

"See them there evangelicals can't be wrong. There's NO WAY we humans can ever have come from stupid monkeys."

"Now WHY can't we find Osama Bin Laden?"

"So, after you get it outta' my pants, then what am I supposed to do with it?"

"Yeah, I'm a mentally ill, alcoholic, narrow-minded, bigoted, stupid, war-mongering, coke-head Bastard, and I'm in charge of everything, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Just did a heavy-duty virus scan--four issues could not be resolved and I still have dead sound/audio fuctions. I may hang on to service until after my birthday in October, but if I can't use my sound on my 'puter, it pretty much is a waste of energy and money to keep it, in my opinion, 'cos half the functions are no gone forever, apparently. Someone asked me if I had my original disk--yeah, no. Probably not...from Nov. of 2001? Too many significant life changes and massive upheavals have gone on, since then. I'd say literally more than 3/4 of my possessions have, since 2005, been sold, or lost during times of trumatic emotional stress and/or very hurried moves, so even if I still had said disks, there's no telling where they might be.

Well, had another fan-girl, "Amanda," ask me if I was gay, 'cos I don't have any amorous intentions towards David "sex-god" Tennant. Geez. I probably spent too much time explaining myself to some hormonal teenager, in hindsight, but, who cares? Certainly not Tennant, ha-ha.

Overcast damp day here, but still around 75 F, so not too cool, warm enough for a swim, if I was so inclined--which I'm not....too much to do, what with chores to run and all. Decided to go in for night shift, as I've just got so much yet to do, this afternoon! Shopping and laundry are on the agenda, if I can find the time.

Wow, the cats were playful this morning! Especially Flame, she was running around the apartment like a loony bird, the goof. Even Boots and Charlie were playing with their toys. All are asleep now, at the mo', though.

Well, I'm having a ball looking at the search terms that bring people here-- (What can I say, I'm easily amused.)

Just in the last hour or so...Really fascinating look at the human mind, Google searches, don't cha' think?

David Tennant Coming to America?

by playwrite27 @ 29/08/2008 – 10:39:11 am

Latest scuttlebutt cloging up the Dr Who forum I visit every few weeks or so, is that two of next year's specials MAY be filmed in my country! How cool would that be?

Of course, they likely would never be shot in my part of the world--probably in California, I imagine--which is about the same distance from me, as Wales pretty much, so it wouldn't make a huge difference, really, would it?

Unless they're doing a hitorical piece, and need to use a log or stone fort--of which we have two? Nahhh. Oh well. It's only a rumour, and you all know how rumours are..this one's probably a dud, and won't pan out.

I am sure the US fan girls will be drooling over the thought of Tennant crossing the big pond...me? I just wanna' see the Tardis up close. :))

Incidentally, what IS the problem with some UK fans getting "insulted" by episodes being filmed in America? These same "fans" had no problem with filming in ITALY.

UK people seem to harbour a lot of HATE for America and American fans. When did Doctor Who fans become so mean and bigoted and disrespectful of other fans? In some ways, I really don't entriely like "New" Doctor Who--Classic Dr Whovians were all akin, and good friends and no one hated each other 'cos of their country of origin. Some "new fans" really act like rubbish, and that makes me very sad to see this stupid behaviour.

I know: That I don't know as much as I'd like to know

I have: Three cats as my sole companions

I wish: I had an occupation where I felt needed/wanted/useful, etc...

I hate: Spiders..and moths...and wasps...and cockroaches...and people with rubbish manners or no manners at all.

I make: My own paths to follow.

I miss: my mum who passed on 14th Nov. '05 and whom I loved very much, and my cat, Red--my best pal for 18 years, whom I had to put to sleep on 19th Nov. 2006.

I worry about: My mind and my eyes, 'cos my writing is getting bad--making mistakes I never ever made before, for no apparent reason, and words I had no trouble spelling a year or two ago, I suddenly can't remember how to spell...and, my eyesights getting really rubbish, but I can't afford to see my eye doctor any more (no insurance coverage--and he won't take you without a way to pay your bill).

I fear: homelessness, roller coasters, nightmares, fire, tornadoes, having my electricity shut off in winter, passing out when I'm alone.

I'm not afraid of: Death, heights (much), flying, change, people who are different than me, trying new things, and public speaking

I feel: sad a lot.

I hear: cars going down Glen St., my computer humming, my fingers tapping the keys of the keyboard, Bonnie Prince Charile, 'cos he's snoring.

I crave: A Hawaiian pizza

I get complimented on: my "working" voice, sometimes my posh clothes.

I get picked on about/for: my looks/body, sometimes my "me" clothes, my lifestyle, for just being, "me."

I search: for ways to improve my writing skills

I wonder: If I'll ever have a future.

I regret: Going to Egypt. If I hadn't gone on that school trip, I would have been home to be with my dad as he was dying, and I would have been there with him the night he died, 'cause I know he was always afraid of dying alone... not being able to put a marker on my mum's grave...not being able to afford finishing my communications degree....putting my cat Red to sleep...too many other things.

I love: my sister and nephew, my far-away yet very dear friends, my pets, Dr Who, writing, horses, being home, learning, helping people, excersizing my creativity, being outdoors, history, antique saddles, doing new things, travel to new places.

I am not: Into trendy stuff at all, or peer pressure.

I believe: That I'm not sure what to believe in, any longer.

I dance: like crap...unless it's disco.

I sing: like crap...but I do it anyways.

I cry: when life just seems totally unbearable.

I don’t always: take very good care of myself.

I fight: for injustice (doesn't everyone?), and to keep from being homeless and hungry.

I write: every single day.

I win: Sometimes.

I lose: more often than not.

I never: want to do drugs.

I always: try to be courteous.

I confuse: myself and a lot of other people 'cos I'm an idiot, ha-ha.

I listen: to music every day.

I can usually be found: in front of my computer, keyboarding away, or sitting up in bed, reading a book.

I am scared: Of any more bad stuff happening to me.

I need: help?

I am happy about: having such lovely friends!

I am unhappy about: My life coming to a standstill for a long time, and knowing I'm going to spend the rest of my life alone, and living at or near the poverty level, having to drop out of college...and lots of other things, I guess.

I really like: Doctor Who, pizza, being around nature, horses, the theatre, blogging, going for a drive in a car (I know, I know, carbon footprint, yadda-yadda-yadda, but I don't own a car anymore, so, who cares?), books, good music on a rainy night/day, sunsets/sunrises, good conversation.

I would like to be famous for: I don't care about being famous, but I suppose maybe for voice work or my writing, if I had to say something.

I imagine: what Dr Who series 5 will be like, ha-ha!

I care about: Poverty, the environment, equality, animals, sick and emotionally ill people, the arts, learning.

Man Discovers Skull of Early Man in Rhode Island...Erm--maybe not.

by playwrite27 @ 28/08/2008 – 09:42:16 pm

A nutjob in the state of Rhode Island has been sending "archeological finds" to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., that he'd been digging up from his back garden.

Here is the Smithsonian's very courteous response to the gentleman's "finds:"

Smithsonian Institute
207 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20078

Dear Mr. Williams:

Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "93211-D,
layer seven, next to the clothesline post...Hominid skull."

We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to
inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents conclusive
proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years
ago.

Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of
the variety that one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be
"Malibu Barbie." It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to
the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us
who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to
contradiction with your findings.

However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the
specimen which might have tipped you off to its modern origin:

1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are
typically fossilized bone.

2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic
centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified
proto-homonids.

3. The dentition pattern evident on the skull is more consistent with
the common domesticated dog than it is with the ravenous man-eating Pliocene
clams you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time.

This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you
have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems
to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let
us say that:

A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has
chewed on.

B. Clams don't have teeth.

It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to
have the specimen carbon-dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our
lab must bear in its normal operation, and partly due to carbon-dating's
notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of
our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior To 1956 AD, and
carbon-dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results.

Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science
Foundation Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen
the scientific name Australopithecus spiff-arino.

Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of
your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species
name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it might be
Latin.

However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen
to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a Hominid fossil, it is,
nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem
to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has
reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens
you have previously submitted to the Institute, and the entire staff
speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site
you have discovered in your Newport back yard. We eagerly anticipate your
trip to our nation's capital that you proposed in your last letter, and
several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it.

We are particularly interested in hearing you expand on your theories
surrounding the trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a
structural matrix that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex femur
you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9mm Sears
Craftsman automotive crescent wrench.

Yours in Science,

Harvey Rowe

Chief Curator-Antiquities
