The Doctor and the Olympics
So… I hear through the virtual grapevine (i.e. Twitter) that Matt Smith will be carrying the Olympic torch in Cardiff. Brilliant news! Though I, like many other Whovians I’m sure, have that little nagging voice in my head saying it should be David Tennant instead. He should be the one to carry the torch and even light the Olympic flame, just like he did in the episode Fear Her.
Imagine how utterly mindblowing it would be to see Ten running up those stairs and lighting that fire, exactly like in the show. It’d be like the show was REAL. Phew! I think I’d need CPR after all that excitement!
Pretty please? Can’t we bend our reality a little bit to fit our fantasy?
The Eternity Clock Is Ticking!
Tomorrow the new Doctor Who game “The Eternity Clock” for PS3 is released on the Playstation network! Thanks to my gamer boyfriend our home is equipped with both an Xbox and a PS3, as well as a PS Vita. So I’ve instructed him to download it while I’m at work so I can have a go right after I get home. Unfortunately, I have an unhumanely long day tomorrow and probably won’t be home until elevenish at night. Thinking of the new game will keep me going though.
Sad thing is, it won’t be the Tenth Doctor in the game… Oh well, it’ll still be magnificent! (I hope…)
Travel stories of the third kind
Ah! I should probably tell you about our trip to England! Well, we saw Avengers Assemble twice, I bought Rufus Wainwright’s new cd and found a Monkees Talk cd that apparently contains loads of interviews from when they were touring Australia. Oh and I also got my picture taken with a wax statue of Russell Brand! And one of the coolest things happened while we were just crossing the street in London: EDDIE IZZARD walked right past us! My boyfriend nearly ran after him for a photo but we decided against it… he seemed so very busy.
So despite the massive hangover that lasted a few days, the trip was a great success!
The Avengers
Today The Avengers is premiering in Finland. My boyfriend is a big comic book fan and has lured me into the world of Marvel enough for me to be excited about the new film. In fact I’m so excited that I’m totally bummed out that I’m stuck at work while my boyfriend and his best mate go see it. Luckily, we’re all planning on seeing it again on our trip to England next week. We’re also going to the Madame Tussaud’s Marvel exhibition so it’ll be a very superhero-y holiday. I don’t mind at all.
Happy Birthday Sexy Beast!
Soon it’s time to paint those tonails!
Yesterday I read in an article that Keith Urban is feverishly working on a new album! This is fantastic news! It’s already been years since his last one and listening to completely new music from him always gives me goosebumps! I might even have to dig up my gold and platinum nail polish. (You KU fans out there know exactly what I mean *wink*.)
To be honest though, an it is a bit embarassing to say this, I haven’t really paid attention to his newest single… It’s the fact that it’s from a navy SEAL film kinda doesn’t do much for me… I’m not a fan of the whole warmongering side of America. Anyway I feel bad for not being super excited about the song. I almost feel like I’m letting him down. Is that maybe a little weird? Fandom is a strange thing.
Be that as it may, there is a new album in the works! Let’s get excited!
Congratulations!!
What’s the big news of the week?? Well, in my world it’s the news that Keith Urban got invited to join the Grand Ole Opry! This is such a huge deal for him and you can just see the immense happiness and gratitude on his face when he got the invitation. To be completely honest I had tears in my eyes when watching this video:
Can’t you just feel the emotion?? Oh how I love that man and his music.
