Doctor Who news!!!

5:09 PM — — 1 Talking Parrots — Knick Knacks:

Ok, so I don't know how many of you are obsessed with Doctor Who (the British television series), but there is exciting news!!!

I got this in an email from one of my friends, who keeps up with all this stuff....:

"Billie Piper, who played Rose Tyler during the first two seasons of the BBC's revived Doctor Who series, will return for three episodes in season four, the BBC confirmed. The news was leaked on Nov. 26 by a fan who snapped photos of Piper in costume on the set in Cardiff, Wales.

Piper will be one of three actresses to join David Tennant's Doctor in the upcoming season, including Catherine Tate, who first appeared as Donna Noble in last year's Christmas special, "The Runaway Bride," and Freema Agyeman, who played Martha Jones in the third season and returns for a limited run in season four.

It is not clear whether Rose will meet any of the Doctor's other companions during her three-episode run. Doctor Who returns to the BBC for a Christmas special on Dec. 25 titled "Voyage of the Damned." The episode, set on the Titanic, will co-star singer and actress Kylie Minogue. The fourth season premieres in March and will run for 13 episodes."

Exciting, yes? I CAN'T WAIT!

Ah, Thanksgiving

9:56 PM — — 0 Talking Parrots — Knick Knacks: , ,

Ah, Thanksgiving. What a night. My mum and I basically did nothing all day. Well, I read fanfiction about a deliciously attractive European actor who portrays one of my favorite characters in King Arthur. *drools* I think he used to be a model or something - at least that's what I thought I saw as I skimmed his IMDB profile.

In fact, I'm still reading fanfiction about him. Anyways.

Thanksgiving seems to have dwindled in its grandeur over the years. It no longer holds as much meaning as it used to when I was a child. To me, it's a week off from school in November when turkey is sold in stores nationwide and people gather together to eat a simple meal in the evening. Nothing big about it. Then again, this is coming from a girl whose parents no longer speak to one another and use their children like bloody owls to communicate. Biased opinion? I think so. At least I recognize it.

My mum and I are going out to the Carlsbad outlet mall at around midnight. Fun, yeah? I dunno. Knowing me, once I get comfy with a good stack of fanfiction, I don't really like to stop until I've finished. What a nerd, right? >_<

Anyways, back to fanfiction about a deliciously sexy, tall, dark, mysterious, sword-wielding, kick-the-competition's-butt, European Knight of the Round Table. O_O *oggles the many pictures of said shmexy man*

Gah, I could do this all night.

Anywho, Toodles!

ARG!!!

7:50 PM — — 1 Talking Parrots — Knick Knacks: , ,

GRRRR. I hate technology sometimes. No. Scratch that. I just hate how slow my internet service AND my laptop are. *bangs head on keyboard* >_<

I just spent an hour with my laptop frozen because of stupid Google. I clicked on a link to see if I could turn off this thing that turns all my font into Hindi-speak (which I don't understand), and about fifty windows opened. Not fun. It slowed my compy WAY down. I wanted to hit it.

Anywho. Procrastination. Fun stuff. I'm actually supposed to be working on my Canon author biography. But....I can't think of what else to add. AND I can't find anything that links Ray Bradbury to Modernism and Post-Modernism. Well, maybe I could, if I felt like trying, but I doubt it.

Stupid fires. *mutters under breath* went and stole a week from us and now we have to cram in AP classes. *mutters some more*

So Twelfth Night went relatively well. Four of the five shows were amazing. Opening night wasn't so hot, but considering we lost a crucial week of rehearsals, I'd say that we're allowed one bad night. No word yet on the Cast/Crew Par-tay.

I'm really excited because my birthday party, which has been postponed three times now, is next week. I'm kinda holding it at a distance, though, because I don't want to expect too much. That way, if I end up postponing it again or if no one comes, I won't be too disappointed.

The musical had its auditions. Now, don't get all excited and think 'Yay! She finally tried out!!' Because I didn't. I never have and I never will. We're doing Music Man. Blech. The choir teacher doesn't even like dance musicals. How does she expect to pull off Music Man??? Whatever. As long as I'm in pit orchestra, I don't care about whatever happens on stage.

Anywho. Back to work. *sigh* I hate society for forcing us to grow up too quickly. I think I'll be a hermit someday. I'll live on the outskirts of Forks, Washington in a little place all by myself. I'll occasionally visit the Cullens and perhaps I'll attend Edward and Bella's wedding. Maybe I'll even be friends with Jake. No. I hate Jake. He's a buttmunch. *glares at Jake* Bella is EDWARD'S girlfriend, not YOURS!!!!! Grrr.

Anywho. Back to work. Yay for hermits. I'll be one someday.

Cheers,
Eurydice

New Blog

4:43 PM — — 1 Talking Parrots — Knick Knacks: , ,

Soo......this new blog will be the mark of my third year in high school, and hopefully my fourth as well.

I suppose I ought to start off with: WHY is California so recently prone to fires? The fires sucked. We didn't have to evacuate, but the air was smoky for awhile, and we missed a week of school. Because of that lost week, those of us in AP US History all had to cram for our midterm. It sucked. Oh, and did I mention that we now have to fit three chapters into nine days?

APUSH wasn't the only class effected. Every AP class lost a week, AND those in Twelfth Night lost a crucial week of rehearsals. We were able to throw the show together and do a great job, in the end, though. Congrats to the great actors and actresses that put so much effort into memorizing their lines on short notice.

Uhm. There's this story on Fanfic.net and Schnoogle. It's called "Ebb and Flow". It's amazing. Go and read it. The sequel was just updated yesterday and oh. my. gosh. Amazing. It's a Sirius Black/ OC pairing.

Well...I guess that's all for now, considering the truck-load of homework I have sitting on my other desk.

Go see Across the Universe. It's amazing. And Bono's in it. But the song that he sings is kinda creepy.

Anywho. Laters!
