I’m taking a quick break from homework to give you, valued reader, a glimpse inside the workings of my tortured mind. I’ve always joked that if a human can have a train of thought, my train is the one from the end of BACK TO THE FUTURE III. I’ve gone over the trestle, left the tracks and am in a constant state of free fall. That’s my train of thought. I’m pretty sure I have ADHLAS. That’s Attention Deficit-HEY LOOK, A SQUIRREL!
– Hurray for tax return money! I finally ordered the “Key To Time” box set I’ve always wanted to order, but never have.
– And “Genesis Of The Daleks“
– And I pre-ordered “The Seeds Of Doom” (Which releases here in the states on Tuesday, 3/8/11.
– and then I saw the Borders store in Lawrence was going out of business and had a discount on all their stuff, so I picked up “The Invasion Of Time” and “Black Orchid”.
– I am sad to see a book store close.
– I am not bothered all that much that it was a conglomerate mega store, since Lawrence has many small, independent book stores I enjoy browsing in.
– Also hit up BRITS in Lawrence, a shop that does nothing but import items from the British Isles. Bought some more Jelly Babies.
– Mmmmm… Jelly Babies.
– I’m thinking that perhaps I need to curb my Doctor Who spending a bit.
– Did you know that Jelly Babies are actual JELLY BABIES? I mean, they’re shaped like little kids!
– Suddenly that joke with Leela saying the evil one eats babies makes a lot more sense.
– Mmmmm…. Leela.
– Did you know that “The Daleks” with William Hartnell is like, 7 episodes long? Cause we didn’t when we started watching it at midnight!
– Kansas City Planet Comicon, the area’s largest comic book convention is coming up at the end of the month. We have made plans to go and drum up some local support for Traveling The Vortex. I wonder how much Doctor Who stuff they’ll have?
– I want to build a Dalek.
– I really should be getting some homework done.
– Speaking of homework, I have 2 more episodes of “The Dalek Invasion Of Earth” to finish before we record the podcast tonight.
– I wish I understood twitter better.
– Then again, if I understood it, I probably wouldn’t get much homework done.
– I think I need a sandwich.
– Of course, “need” is relative.
– Kinda like time.
– So if the translation circuitry in the TARDIS can translate any language for you during your travels with the Doctor, does that mean that companions who have left the ship suddenly have access to Spanish and Greek and Russian and all the standard “Earthbound” languages? Is it like a Rosetta Stone, only cooler?
– Oh, I picked up “Destiny Of The Daleks” too.
– Whoops, I should have said “Is it like a Rosetta Stone, only more bow tie?” We’re starting a movement to replace the word cool with bow tie. Cause you know, bow ties are cool.
– Okay, back to homework. Homework is so NOT bow tie.
