need to breathe to carry on

ink_splotchLast night I dreamt that Take That were space travellers; Robbie was something to do with computers and brilliant, so everyone put up with him being a twat; Gary was the Captain; Howard seemed to be both navigator and body gaurd; Jason was the engineer and Mark did something which seemed to entail sitting and asking Jason lots of questions/flirting with him. I think they made out at some point - sadly, it has faded a bit.
I'm blaming Doctor Who. No, really. Riley looked and sounded like Jason, hee! Very sweet. And the entire episode was glee-making - watched it with a whole big group, which was quite an awesome experience; everyone was whispering their theories at each other, and giggling inappropriately, and for the last ten minutes there was a constant stream of "but, but, surely...where's Jack?". But even though there was no Jack, I really, really liked 42 I think the idea of a living sun-entity is awesome. And I really, really liked the characters, particularly Riley - he was endearing when he and Martha were doing their door-opening-thing and then downright poignant in the pod. And the ending was all HEE!
The Captain redeemed herself, too, and I'll admit to being a little moved when she sacrified herself. Was a bit out-of-sorts with the pretty engineering girl being killed off, because a) shallow and b) shallow.
Finally, oh MARTHA! How are you so awesome, and competent and lovely? How are you so endearing? How are you so HOT? I don't think I could possibly adore Martha more; I think it was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ariastar who mentioned that the theme of this season is the Doctor being incapacitated and Martha saving the day, which is just awesome. I love Martha. I love Martha's crush and absolute trust in the Doctor. She's just so *good*.
And was the Doctor mouthing, "I love you" there at the end, or was it just me?
In conclusion: PRETTY!
(also, did Elvis really have more number ones? However: HERE COMES THE SUN! Oh, Doctor!)
Finally, I need to revise; however, instead, I am watching The Shakespeare Code. I have done about an hours notating so far, and plan to do an essay after tea, then two or three essay plans, though I still need to do summaries for the Marlowe plays. I don't feel *ready* for this exam, but at the same time, I don't feel like there's all that much more I can do; I know the plays, I know the themes, I know how the plays work together; I need to get a somewhat better idea of what happens in which act. And then re-read SparkNotes. Apart from that, it's just essay plans. The thing is, I can write four or five pretty good essays, except it requires that the questions are *just* right. And I'm not sure they will be - I'd like an essay on women, on the power of love, on gender roles in general, on outsiders, on religion, on power and authority. The problem is, the question won't be that vague and the tighter they get, the less likely it is that I can combine the plays the way I *want* to.
I hate exams.
I'm also not a big fan of the fact that I still don't have all the data necessary to complete my stupid language project, because some people think Wednesday is equalivalent to some time during the weekend.
And Gemma's gone back to Bedford.
HOWEVER! I will persevere and get my work done and hopefully my project will be completable tomorrow, at which point Gemma will also be back!
Oh, university life!

HERE COMES THE SUN! best. line. ever.
Date: 2007-05-20 05:26 pm (UTC)But I quite agree - I love, love, love Martha saving the day. Granted, it's not unusual - Rose did it, too, in 1x1, but. This is a bit different.
I don't think there's much else fo you to do, preparation-vise. Sometimes we all get shitty questions, and then we have to deal with it. The result may end up not quite our best, but... C'est la vie.

I know, but it's just particularly with Martha. Maybe because with Nine, he and Rose worked together, and you didn't really notice who was saving who. I don't know. I still love Rose to bits, but Martha. Oh, Martha.
♥ true. At this point, I just want to PASS!
Re: HERE COMES THE SUN! best. line. ever.
Date: 2007-05-22 04:06 pm (UTC)Exactly. It's a completely different dynamic with Martha&Ten, and I really, really love it.
♥ You WILL!
Re: HERE COMES THE SUN! best. line. ever.
Date: 2007-05-22 04:57 pm (UTC)Me too!
♥ Thank you!
