Old Fools...
Once upon a time in the not-too-distant future (in distant days longing to sense it all so clear):
Okay, I would just like to point this out: http://nicolettetwilight.deviantart.com/art/Death-II-57405387. Completely and totally awesome. If this is the face we see when we leave this mortal coil, we would all be off with a smile.
Rumours abound that Peter Davison, the Fifth Doctor will be doing a small bit on the current Doctor Who series reprising his old character as he meets David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor. It is only for the ten minute Children In Need special, but hey, that in itself should be the right amount of awesome (and explain previous comments that the Doctor was on the Titanic).
Wonder if Tegan and/or Nyssa will be tagging along- although this fan wants Peri to show up as she still looks the same (Ace would be best, as Sarah Jane already showed up and got a spin-off, but Davison’s Doctor never met her).
The new Doctor Who by the way is my favourite show at the moment and I cannot wait for the third series to come to DVD.
(Doctor Who theme song now is playing happily in my head)
Beloit College just released the results of their look into the mindsets of kids who are starting college this year. While most of the results are just reminders of how old you are, some of them are alarming:
- Tiananmen Square is a 2008 Olympics venue, not the scene of a massacre.
- Stadiums, rock tours and sporting events have always had corporate names.
- MTV has never featured music videos.
- The space program has never really caught their attention except in disasters.
- Avatars have nothing to do with Hindu deities.
- Chavez has nothing to do with iceberg lettuce and everything to do with oil.
- Burma has always been Myanmar.
And a few are actually a sign that the world may be getting better:
- The purchase of ivory has always been banned.
- They will encounter roughly equal numbers of female and male professors in the classroom.
And of course, some just show that we are getting stupider and stupider:
- “Off the hook” has never had anything to do with a telephone.
- Being “lame” has to do with being dumb or inarticulate, not disabled.
Oh, and by the way: You (meaning me) are Old.
