I find it remains one of the English language's worst shortcomings that "I empathize with you" and "I did something wrong and wish to apologize" both take the form of "I'm sorry".

"Werewolves? Bah. They have it easy."
"Turning into a wolf once a month is easy?"
"It's predictable, and wolves are beautiful. I'd swap at once."
"So what's your affliction?"
"Weresloth."
"No!"
"Weather turns warm, boom! I turn into a sloth. Can't do anything."
"I'm so sorry."

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

Most of the titles of these stories start with "The"

In the first 4 seasons, there are 36 stories. Only 4 of them don't start with "The"

I'm so proud of myself for adding the navigation buttons to the webpage, tbh... it makes it a lot nicer, and I did a surprisingly good job designing them

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

The first story of season 4 is so awful that it took me a week to build up the energy to watch it.

It's hard to even explain how it's bad, it's just... boring and predictable and nothing happens, and it has the same problem that almost all of the historical stories do: there's no energy. No-one seems to care all that much.

And it's made even worse by being a reconstruction, so you've only got stills of the actor's faces.

I'm listening to a dubstep mix that I censored a track out of, and I'm... impressed I managed to censor any of it at all given that this section of the mix has FOUR different songs playing at once

THIS CRITTER IS KILLLING ME. It's a sea slug that has converged on a fish shape.

Here's a vid of it swimming vimeo.com/159589650

It's "pectoral fins" are Rhinophores, basically antenna for smelling. It hunts jellyfish, and uses the remnant of its Foot to stick to them.

and by these I'm referring to: sexism, homophobic jabs, heteronormativity, the doctor getting involved in a serious relationship with a companion, really childish humour, weird undertones

doctor who, steven moffat, hot take 

I'm watching "The Curse of Fatal Death", a comedic parody of Doctor Who produced by the BBC in 1999.

It was written by Steven Moffat.

And so many of the things that are jokes in this skit.... went on to become serious plot elements in Doctor Who when he became show runner in 2009.

programming language: haskell
terminal emulator: currently urxvt, but I don't mind most
window manager: bspwm

database: don't know anything about db stuff
terminal multiplexer: "open multiple windows"
operating system: sabayon, but hacked to have gentoo bits, but hacked to have nixos bits. Soon: nixos
