  1. I'm so glad you added Passion Pit to the list! Did you like The Strokes before you left and I just forgot?

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years. Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years.

By this time in our trip, our group has already seen Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well at the Globe . . . which was superb. Today, we got to take a tour of the theatre itself. Might be one of my favorite sight seeing things I have done. It's just that I have spent so many school years learning about this theatre and the time of Shakespeare. I feel like all I had learned didn't really stick until today. I was there. I was in the space where it all happened. It's true what my English professors say, that if you really want to major in English, your life wouldn't be fulfilled to you come to England. Everything I have learned just gels together all of a sudden. It's beautiful. A wonderful event in earth's history. A stunning creation wrought by humankind. For instance, I learned that the people who watch from the ground are called "groundlings." Makes sense. They were also called "penny stinkers" because they paid one penny to get i...

In the spring I shed my skin and it blows away with the changing wind.

And so begins my Brighton Beach Memoirs. Most of our group took a day trip on Friday to Brighton. After taking the train out through gorgeous green country, we reached the coast. Can you see the ocean yet? How about now? And there it is. It was a tad chilly and pretty windy, but there was sun and ocean, so we were happy :) It was such a relief to be able to leave the rushed city of London and go to Brighton. We were able to take it slow and just relax. A pebble beach isn't nearly as comfortable as a sand beach, but it is something to look at. Here it is ladies and gentlemen. Legit fish and chips on the sea side of Brighton. It was good, except I didn't have nearly enough tartar sauce. This is a lovely pier that goes out a ways and has treat shops and a mini theme park. It's adorable! We then basked in the generous sunlight right beside King George's little vacation palace. Don't ask me which King George. I wasn't enough in the touristy mood to take note! Then c...

The Parting of the Ways pt 2 S01E13

  1. Summed up in one sentence The one in which the ninth Doctor makes us all cry a lot because we love him so much. 2. The Doctor  He goes through a lot of changes in this last episode, and I do mean more than in the physical regeneration way. This entire season has been a journey of transformation for him, starting from the moment he met Rose. Though all the Doctors have very similar core personalities and behaviors, Nine is on the serious, guilt ridden, and combative side of the spectrum. He was just heavy, despite his delightful moments  of humor and whimsy. But Rose helped both his hearts to soften and lighten, giving him someone to believe in and care for and love.  We see his final moment of metamorphosis (before the literal one that is) when the leader of the Daleks asks the Doctor if he is a killer or a coward, because the Doctor has the choice to kill the Daleks, but it also ends up killing humans too, or allowing the Daleks to live so they can tr...
