whoa idk why someone thinks you should kill yourself??????? I am sorry you're getting hate mail, but your dw post was really funny and I sort of get sad about how much its changed :(

Thanks for the nice message! I also feel sad about how much DW has changed, but I do try and remind myself that if it can change for the worse then it can also change for the better. Just because I don't enjoy DW at the moment doesn't mean I won't enjoy it in the future. Plus I have a lot of happy memories watching classic who and 2005-2010 new who. :)

The young man found a curious pleasure in the contrast between the limitations of his physical sphere and the broad scope of his mental operations.

Thomas Mann - The Magic Mountain

It was impossible for him to think about things he had already done while in a state of incapacity to do better. The past was only tolerable if one felt above it, instead of having to stare stupidly at it aware of one's present impotence.

Interesting fact:

The BBC series Doctor Who ended in 2010. It was replaced by a show called Doctor Who Cares Now That Steven Moffat's in Charge. The title of the latter show is often shortened for the sake of brevity. This has caused much confusion amongst viewers with many believing that the two series are one and the same.

'If you’ve got any education, it don’t matter to you if you’re on the road for the rest of your life.’ ‘Well, I’ve found just the contrary,’ I said. ‘It seems to me that when you take a man’s money away he’s fit for nothing from that moment.’ ‘No, not necessarily. If you set yourself to it, you can live the same life, rich or poor. You can still keep on with your books and your ideas. You just got to say to yourself, “I’m a free man in HERE”’ — he tapped his forehead — ‘and you’re all right.’

There was a fellow I stayed with once in Warwickshire who farmed his own land, but was otherwise quite steady.

In the church is a memorial to Mrs. Sarah Hill, who bequeathed 1 pound annually, to be divided at Easter, between two boys and two girls who “have never been undutiful to their parents; who have never been known to swear or to tell untruths, to steal, or to break windows.” Fancy giving up all that for five shillings a year! It is not worth it.
