Excellent, we should talk about it. And I’m sorry, transportation sucks sometimes.

wHY THE FUCK DOES IT SAY ‘POND’
NOT ‘PONDS’
OH GOD NO
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck I just realized that too. SHIT.
I swear up and down Rory is the Master
Wasn’t it confirmed that only one of them is going to die? Personally, I support the theory that Rory is the Master, but beyond that, the wording suggests that it’s Amy, and ever since their marriage, it’s been unclear what Rory’s lastname is - and in the credits, Arthur is credited simply as ‘Rory.’ I’m taking this as a sign that Amy dies.
NO
NO
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT SO CALMLY
NO
Isn’t his last name Williams? Am I making that up? I thought his name was Rory Williams…..
Yeah, no, unless I’m missing out on something as well, Rory’s last name is pretty definitively Williams. He’s called Rory Williams multiple times, and in God Complex the Doctor even calls Amy Amy Williams. I think the confusion comes from the fact that the Doctor refers to Amy & Rory as The Ponds or Mr. & Mrs. Pond, as opposed to Mr. & Mrs. Williams, and Amy named their daughter Melody Pond, not Melody Williams. So Ponds would mean Amy and Rory, but singular Pond would refer to Amy, since Rory’s last name isn’t Pond. [Also: NOOOOO! I don’t wanna say goodbye to any Pond!)
Take a Hint- Victoria Justice & Elizabeth Gillies
Ugh, this just reminds me of one time when I was on Orlando, I was physically pushing my way through a crowd of people trying to get to a friend of mine when this guy comes up to me (literally physically impossible to get away, in the middle of this crowd) and starts talking to me about how he doesn’t like girls who look like sticks (I’m bigger, and I was dressed in a way that accentuated my *curves* and I know you’re trying to complement me, but you pointing this out still feels like you’re calling me fat.) and in the middle of him telling me what he does and doesn’t like, he feels it’s appropriate to accentuate that he doesn’t like girls who are built like straws by grabbing the straw of my drink…if it hadn’t been empty, I probably would’ve thrown that drink in his face. Frikkin assholes.
[Minor Spoilers]
And I just have all these feelings about it…I don’t even know. I feel like I need to go see it again like 3 more times.
And maybe sit in the back of the theater with my laptop like a crazy person so I can liveblog all my feels. I keep doing this thing where I’m in the movie theater, and I’m wondering/predicting how tumblr will react to certain things.
Things I remember thinking:
-For the love of god, please put on those glasses, and never take them off.
(Spoiler: He put them on. =D) (Spoiler: He took them off =()
-Can we just make Andrew Garfield Cosplay the Tenth Doctor at some point? I just need to see that happen.
-Speaking [thinking] of those two, you know what Andrew and Tennant have in common? They both got to live their dreams and play their childhood hero. How awesome and surreal must that be?
-Damn, Emma Stone has big eyes. Like, how do they even fit on her face? It’s crazy!
-This movie is like the exact opposite of Avengers when it comes to butts. Avengers objectified all their butts and let you just ogle. I’ve seen set pictures of Andrew in that suit, and they’re not just not lingering on it like that one Steve Rogers scene, but they seem to be like *actively avoiding* showing much of his lower body while he’s in the suit.
-Well, on the upside, they don’t seem to be objectifying Gwen, unless you count that one skirt.
-No, but seriously, why are they not showing more of—Oh, there’s the butt. Too bad he’s hurt.
-Ugh, did he just give her an order? Do not want.
-Good on you Gwen, nobody gives you orders.
-Would everyone please stop trying to protect Gwen and let her decide for her own damn self what makes her feel safe and happy? For god’s sakes.
-Oh thank god, I thought you were going to actually keep your promise.
-This bodes well for sequels…for tumblr’s sake, I hope future movies have more make-outs…and more butts.
Storytime!
So a couple weeks back, I was at the Walgreen’s across the street from my apartment complex here in Disney, just buying some easymac or whatever, when this gum display catches my eye. I realize it’s Kristina Horner in the picture. Not only is it Kristina, I recognize the picture as an old stock picture from her DeviantArt (Click through to see the original).
I’ve been kinda out of the loop with a lot of internet things lately, so I wasn’t sure if she’d gotten some contract with Extra, or if they’d bought the rights to that picture and I just hadn’t heard anything about it, or if someone had found this picture online and just decided to use it for their chewing gum campaign. Either way, I thought it was interesting, so I decided to take a picture of the ad.
Fast forward to earlier tonight when I finally get around to uploading all the pictures I’ve taken in the past month or so, and there’s that picture of the Extra ad (Yes, that means it’s in the middle of an album of me & my friends being weird in the parks). So I upload the picture and tag Kristina, and a few minutes later, I get a comment. Turns out she wasn’t asked by anyone if they could use her image, and she didn’t even know that it was being used.
I’m reminded of the Viacom/YouTube debate awhile back: Yes, individuals on the internet steal from from major corporations, but that doesn’t mean that major corporations don’t steal from individuals on the internet, too. Usually all of this piracy takes place online though, I never expected to walk into a random store and see a picture of someone from the internet. The whole thing is so weird and interesting.
So, two questions:
Have you seen this extra ad with Kristina’s face on it anywhere (other than the Walgreen’s next to Vista Way)?
Have you seen any other examples of things like this? People and things from the internet appearing in things outside the internet without proper permission/compensation?
I love that the primary advice I got from both people who responded to the DCP post was “STAY CALM.” You know me too well. I should go dins something to drink that isn’t chock full o caffeine & sugar…
Also, I saw Aaron coming out of the South Campus Diner wearing the Pizza John Shirt, and totally just pointed at him & shouted “PIZZA JOHN!” Other people probably thought I was insane. Then we ended up talking for like 20 minutes, and now I kinda really want our Official Club Name to be #UMDFTBA.
UPDATE:
I just got off of the phone interview. i think it went well? But I’m also REALLY terrible at telling those sorts of things. The woman on the interview seemed really nice and enthusiastic, and I really liked her. Her name was Claire!
I don’t think I did a terrible job of answering any of the questions, I just hope I wasn’t too rambly & long winded in some of my explanations. Y’all know how rambly I can get.
My best friend moved into her dorm today, which inevitably means that we watched half a season of Gilmore GIrls on DVD while she “umpacked” and I “helped.”
We were watching the episode where the Elementary School puts on Fiddler on the Roof (Which IMDb tells me is called “Jews and Chinese Food.”), and there was a Pianist playing all the music in the Fiddler rehearsal, and I swear, the pianist was Brad from Glee. I may have flipped out slightly, insisting to Charissa that it was the same guy. She wasn’t even denying it,; I was just very adamant.
Unfortunately, my trusty IMDb is failing me, and not telling me if it was him or not. All I was able to find out is that the guy from Glee’s name is Brad Ellis. This isn’t really that helpful…
Am I just crazy (which is quite possible; I’m pretty sure taking the GRE completely fried my brainpan), or is it actually the same dude?

I was going through the “downloads” folder on my computer where everything gets sent when I save it without paying attention, and I notice this folder that’s just called “Tumblr_files” that I’ve never seen before. Its filled with like 679 items, mostly .gifs, but also png & jpg pictures too. Also things like people’s avatars, and other weird things…its like I at some point just rightclicked+saveas and it just sent EVERYTHING that was on my tumblr at the time to this random folder.
At first I thought it was just things I’d been saving on purpose that had been accidentally sent to this random folder instead of my pictures folder, but then I noticed things that I definitely didn’t save, things that I wouldn’t have saved, and got confused. I still don’t quite know how it happened…
Has anyone else ever done this before? Its super weird.
Its due tomorrow. I’m on the OWL Purdue website now, looking at how to properly cite a TV show in APA. This is almost as bad as Freshman English when I was attempting to figure out how to cite a YouTube video in MLA.
Single Episode of a Television Series:
Writer, W. W. (Writer), & Director, D. D. (Director). (Date of publication). Title of episode [Television series episode]. In P. Producer (Producer), Series title. City of origin: Studio or distributor.
A Television Series:
Bellisario, D.L. (Producer). (1992). Exciting action show [Television series]. Hollywood: American Broadcasting Company.
Now how am I going to find out all this information for all of the Series 5 episodes?
TO WIKIPEDIA! I’m such an awesome student
Ok, so its not due till 5/03 (So after series 6 starts! I may have Important New Things to add in!), but for one of my classes I have to write a “character conceptualization paper” in which we basically take fictional character (or a historical figure), summarize who they are, then pick a theoretical perspective to analyze them from, and suggest what sort of counseling they would be best suited for, etc.
After my mind started racing 1,000 mph with characters I’d love to analyze (Katniss Everdeen, Neville Longbottom, Temperance Brennan, Anya Jenkins, Richard Alpert…the list goes on), I suddenly realized that I need to write this paper on Amelia Pond.
My main issues are that a.) This is a paper, and so I want to make it sound as academic as possible, but it always comes off sounding too narrative. ITS JUST SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STORY AND I WANT TO DO IT JUSTICE. and b.) I want the focus to be on AMY, and how the important events in her life have affected her as a person, as opposed the more science-fiction-y aspects of the events. But there’s only so much of that you can gloss over/not explain while still having the story make sense.
So I wrote a draft of the character-summary section of the paper earlier, and I’d like to know what anyone and everyone thinks of it. I wrote it in like 30 minutes, purely from memory, so keep in mind that this is very rough, but any errors or improvements you see would me greatly appreciated. Being harsh is totally welcomed.
Draft is under the read more, so as to not clog up your dash more than necessary.
I have a tendency to like pretty much everything. As of March 1, 2013 I've got 50,000 likes and counting. So if you think I'm being creepy and liking all of your posts? I promise, it's not just you, I really do just like everything
NOTE: I have a tendency to ramble on, so if you want to reblog something I post without all my ramblings, feel free to edit as needed, so long as you don't delete the link back to my post.
