modus operandi

So. My proclamation at the end of this entry to not post anything on LJ until my trimester ends? A lie.

My declaration on Monday to never drink coffee again (because it was the first time I've experienced coffee-high that lasted from 11p.m. to 1p.m. the next day, of which during the whole time I was positively bouncing off the walls. It crashed disastrously right after, and I had to sleep the whole day away to feel remotely human again)? A lie. Am drinking Burger King coffee right now in the school's computer lab (shh!) to keep me awake until today's deadline is over. I have a feeling it will be a very regular occurrence every time there's a period of mass-deadlines.

My very resolute decision to not get involved in the whole Torchwood: Children of Earth-Ianto debacle/petition/peaceful protest (because there's this theory I have about why things happened the way it did and I don't want to look like an idiot having been all outrageously indignant when in the end things might work out the way the fan community wanted)?

A BIG-ASS LIE.

Go on. Click it. It'll probably be the only place on the Internet where you can see my face (unless you're on my list of friends on Facebook) because I'm deathly paranoid about the World Wide Web like that. But for Jones, Ianto Jones? The Universe, m'dear, the whole Universe.

It felt as if it wasn't too warm, but when I step outdoors, the meh-temperature was very conducive for sweating. Especially so because there was no wind at all. AT NIGHT. Seriously.

So. I've started watching Black Books and IT IS BRILLIANT. Why didn't anyone tell me about this sitcom before? Dylan Moran as Bernard Black was hilarious in a crazy and annoying way by being both an old man with the common old people illness of being sick with the world and thinking that everyone owes him something and should also leave him the hell alone, and at the same time being a stubborn, childish teenager who refuses to pick up after himself and demands the world of everyone and that they should all leave him be. Brilliant, brilliant acting. And the humour? Was wow.

My first work day at The Polliwogs (yes, the place has a name, which also means tadpoles, which refers to the children)!

I woke up two hours earlier than I had first intended because K.Ying wanted to go East Coast Park to take photos and I had (stupidly) volunteered to be the "model". Also? I didn't even sleep as early as I wanted to last night. But 1 a.m. is an improvement from 3 a.m., no? Let's see how fast I can get this entry out and go to bed earlier than 3 a.m. again tonight.

Anyway, we were at the beach to take photos, and I was a very uncooperative model. My fringe isn't long enough to tuck behind my ears and the wind kept blowing it into my face. Plus, the sun was so bright, I was squinting my eyes for more than half of all the shots. Which was why I turned out looking constipated in most of them. But there seemed to be enough photos to justify us waking up crazy early, so. Heh.

( Then we went for work! )

Oh! I figured out what made me feel that Midnight was different from the rest of the episodes from Doctor Who series 4. Where most of series 4 dealt more with humanity and showing how it impacts the case and circumstances in their respective episodes, Midnight used the case and situation to explain and demonstrate the fragility of individual thought, the susceptibility of humanity to manipulation, and the quick willingness to abandon logic and baring almost-animalistic hostility in the face of danger and fear.

Simply put: telling the story using humanity, VS. using the story to show human behaviour. And also? It's a must-watch episode because other than the brilliant plot, the acting of every cast member and not just the main character was SUPERB.

I have fallen in love with Neil Gaiman again.

Hello, Colbert PWNAGE!

Neil Gaiman is ♥
(Which reminds me, I need to buy The Graveyard Book soon.)

And because my life is full of drama, the Internet shall be my dumping ground.

( Because my world is round and yours is flat )

Ugh. I am now tired but satisfied that I got all of that down. And now I'm off to watch the Doctor Who 2009 Easter Special.
