Reactions to Doctor Who: Season 1

So I was sick last Saturday. What do you generally do when you're sick? I don't know about you, but I have looooong marathons by myself. Last Saturday, I dedicated my marathon to Doctor Who. My thoughts, episode by episode below:

Episode 1. Cheesy plastic dummies coming to life...annoying mother...mysterious man...mmmkay. Why am I watching this...?

Episode 2. Okay, this is a lot better without Mrs. Tyler. But still, what's with all the rubber aliens? I don't know about this...

Episode 3. Did you just write Charles Dickens into this episode? I have so much more respect for this now. And did THIS just happen? I'm really beginning to get into this.

Episode 4/5. What are these Slitheen things? I don't like em. I generally don't like big rubber aliens with gas problems. Sigh... but hey, I'm still liking the doctor. This could be worse, I guess.

Episode 6. WOAH WOAH WOAH where did all this SUPER EPIC backstory come from? I wasn't expecting that at all. Okay...I think I really really like this. (obsession officially begins)

Episode 7. Ooooh this is mysterious. (ADAM WHAT ARE YOU DOING GO AWAY) Yessssss thank you Doctor. I love you. :)

Episode 8. Rose Tyler, I hope you know that I HATE your mom... But other than that, I am quite enjoying this episode. Rose, you and the Doctor are so good together it kills me to watch you two interact...

Episode 9. ...this is scary. 1940's...How...? WAIT, what's happening, Nancy? I know you know something!

Episode 10. I am so scared!! D: Wait, you mean.... YAY!!!! Oh my gosh, "Why do you just assume that I can't dance?" hahahah I love this so much. I really do. :)

Episode 11. Oh great... Slitheens again... Wait, you made the Slitheens NOT cheesy? How'd you do that? I LOVE THIS SHOW. Doctor... everything you do... Hahahaha

Episode 12. WHAT IS GOING ON??!!?? I AM SO DISTRESSED RIGHT NOW (hunger games what?!?) COME ON, YOU CAN SAVE HER!!! Ending speech = ADORABLE. I love you, Doctor.

Episode 13. *hyperventilating* "I think you need a doctor..." *jaw drops, eyes roll back, falls over*

I think it's pretty obvious that I like this show A LOT. (that season finale....) What you're probably wondering is if I'd recommend it to you.

Well, I honestly think it depends on your taste. I know people who would hate it (or do hate it) and I know people who might get really into it, like me.

If you think YOU'd like aliens, time travel, British humor, and adorable relationships between the main characters, then go ahead and become obsessed with me!!

I watched it here. (when you click on an episode, choose the link that says "putlocker". That way you don't have to download anything weird)

P.S. I feel like I should mention that I made a tumblr... so yeah, check it out. :P

My favorite drawing out of the bunch, it's Lady Persephone from Upstairs Downstairs (2010). I recommend you watch it.

Persie's character was SUCH a jerk, but she had the most gorgeous wardrobe I had ever seen in any movie or TV show. The furs and silks and lipstick... *drool*

P.S. I don't endorse smoking. If you smoke, you'll end up a fascist jerk, like Persie. Plus, your smoke won't be all curly like hers is... (Automatically no longer worth it)

kisses. ^_^

Don't ask me how she got up there. I don't know.

#1

This is me, watching way too much So You Think You Can Dance.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves this show?

What is anatomy. I don't understand this concept...

...she has two left thumbs, for crying out loud! -_-

I'm on the right track baby

Hey guys! I promise that I'm still alive, and still drawing!

I've been drawing a lot, actually. It seems like the more I draw, the more inspired I am to draw. At 2 AM I get great ideas. (which gets annoying because then I can't sleep until I get the drawing out of my head... I'm becoming a true artist. -_-)

It's gotten to a point where I'm doing like, one big-ish project every few days. So I'm reeeeeealy backed up on what I have to show ya. But that's really good. :)

So I'm gonna be doing individual posts for each drawing. That way your attention isn't divided and it'll be easier to compliment me. Haha just kidding*. And it'll be easier for me to make my notes, too...

So don't be afraid to comment on a post that isn't at the top of the page! I check it all, and I'd love to get some input. :)

Are you guys excited? I know I am. :D

*or am I?

High above me

Some awkward Percy and Annabeth for your Friday...

SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAD BETTER HAPPEN IN SON OF NEPTUNE OR I WILL COME TO TEXAS AND BEAT YOU UP RICK RIORDAN!!!!!

It's a maze, this garden

Heyyyy do you like free stuff? Course you do! Everyone likes free stuff.

Especially me, which is why I love booksshouldbefree.com. Free audio books, people. It's awesome. But is it illegal? Actually no. They only have books written before copyright laws were made.

But surely there are other problems? Well, of course. Here's a helpful little pros and cons list:

PROS:

-Uh it's free! Hello!

-They have like, everything classic literature. Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, L. Frank Baum, Jane Austen....

-Sometimes the narrator is different every chapter (although some of them are read wholly by one person. It really depends.) This can be a pro or a con; Occasionally, you'll get someone who has an amazing accent, and does everything right.

-It's so easy (at least for me). All I do is open my iTunes library, press iPod download, and it's there, in the podcast section, in two seconds flat. I love how I don't have to do anything. When I'm done, I just delete it.

-I can listen to it while I do chores, or during long car rides. (I can't read in the car, ever)

CONS:

-There aren't any modern books.

-Sometimes the narrator is different every chapter. Though it's not often, you might get someone who reads too fast, or with no emotion. When this does happens, just get through it and take comfort that the chapters are 10-20 minutes long. It'll be over soon, especially if he's reading fast.

-Although they do put a little bit of voice into the characters, no one does anything ridiculous, like people who do professional audio books do.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. But it's FREE.

I don't know about you, but I take what I can get. I finished Alice in Wonderland, which was read by a different person each chapter. I loved it, and almost everyone did a great job.

Now I'm listening to A Little Princess. It's read by only one person, who's doing a very good job so far.

But Nina, I don't like audio books! I'd much rather just read...

I'll have you know that there are plenty of websites that'll let you read classics online for free! Just google it.

But if you don't want to google it, classicreader.com works rather well and seems to have a good selection.

I just wanted to show these to you guys. I love books, and I love free stuff, so these websites make me very happy.

Warm and Real and Bright

More art. Cuz you guys apparently love this stuff. :)

Don't ever learn to draw Rapunzel, guys. She is a serious addiction. I'm gonna have to start going to "Tangled-Fan-Artist Anonymous" pretty soon...
