This is a neat way to keep track of memorable stuff that happens during the year. There's a community where you can see other people's scrapbooks, and get your own scrapbook listed. Check it out - it's a lot of fun to see what other people are doing! :)

To keep things simple, I think I'm going to keep my scrapbook limited to my ~online adventures~~. :)

Cheery bye, Scarlett

It's always a sad thing when one of your favorite celebs passes away, but learning of Mollie Sugden's death really made my heart sink. I've watched and loved Are You Being Served? since I was quite young; my mom and I joke that the cast of AYBS? is like my "second family." Mollie Sugden's hilarious portrayal of my favorite character on the show, Mrs Slocombe, not only makes me laugh to this day, but also makes me think what a talented, skilled comedienne she was. It's so good to read in the BBC article that she had a lovely, full life. Mollie will be very sadly missed.

Not so cheery bye, Scarlett

So I woke up on Tuesday morning, put my glasses on, and noticed that I couldn't see correctly out of my left eye. ( My early-summer adventure )

Hopefully the rest of summer won't be as exciting! ;)

Cheery bye, Scarlett

Ooh, The Dark Knight is on right now on HBO (we don't usually get HBO, but this weekend is one of Verizon FiOS' special "all-channel" weekends or something so we've got it - plus a dozen other channels - until Monday!). Last summer's TDK blitz was so much fun. It was such a big deal! If I'm being honest, the movie really isn't the greatest movie ever made - it was the characters that made it so awesome - but the hype that surrounded it made it into something ~epic~. The ONTD party posts with .gifs and macros were great, especially when they happened in the middle of the night and everyone was, like, giddy-tired but stayed awake to participate in the lulz.

I wonder if there will be a big, hyped-up, everyone-loves-it movie this summer? The buzz would have started already, I think, so there likely won't be anything this summer on the scale of TDK. But, there are a couple movies coming out over the summer that I'm looking forward to - like the long-awaited Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince! Public Enemies, starring the fab Johnny Depp, is another that looks cool. I know I'm forgetting one or two others, but all in all, it looks like a pretty good summer at the movies. :)

Meme time!

( 20 random questions )

I do love me some memes. :) Cheery bye, Scarlett

I'm in McKeldin Library's computer lab right now and I found the urge to post rising! ;)

I have Google email alerts for "peter cook" (and "freddie mercury," "kylie minogue," "sarah brightman,"and "madonna," for anyone interested! :) ) and often I get alerts that have nothing to do with the only Peter Cook that matters, like news stories about Christie Brinkley's ex or various people who happen to be named Peter Cook. Add another non-Peter Cook Peter Cook to the list - this time, drug developer Biota's chief executive.

I dunno, it just amuses me how often I get a "peter cook" alert that isn't about the Peter Cook I actually care about. :)

Also, in Peter Cook-related news - arthur2dudley , I'll change the links to your site when I get home from school today! :) Check out arthur2dudley 's Dudley Moore site if you're a fan of Dudley, peeps! :D

Cheery bye, Scarlett

I'm on a meme kick right now!

Picspam time! The current prompt at picspammy: "focus your spam on one scene or sequence." For me, this one was a no-brainer. I saw that prompt and my mind immediately went to this one bit in the 1975 Doctor Who story The Android Invasion. It marked the moment I fell in lurve with the mighty Tom Baker, and of course Doctor Who!

Strange as it might sound, this one scene - more of a moment, really - was one of those things that has stuck with me forever. I first saw it when I was 15 and now, at 22, I still go a bit gooey when I see it. But the great thing about this scene is that it transcends just being a hot Tom Baker moment. After I had gotten into the show and had a good sense of what it was all about, it struck me that this scene from The Android Invasion summed up, for me, the character of the Doctor. And I'm not even limiting it to the character of the Fourth Doctor. You could make a case that this scene could have happened in any of the Doctors' eras, though I'd also argue that only Tom Baker could have pulled it off so subtly and with such panache. ;)

( The scene and the spam! )
