Happy tired crazed babblings on: exams, Dr Who, Hollyoaks, my wtf accent, & Skins - with headings
My exams are over! HaHA!
I think I'll do okay, with the possible exception of Stats, but that's hardly a surprise. Am currently basking in post-reinforcement-pause. Ahhh. After a good night's sleep tonight and the proceeding de-melting of my brain will finally get on to non-uniwork things. Have emails and comments to write, games to play, masterpieces to paint, farms to walk around, cats to annoy, and so on. Also, I want to go visit my Nan and my Pop. Again, ahhh.
New Who
Hellooo, my TV guide informs me that Dr Who's back this week! I'm excited,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kayloulee are you excited? I'm excited. So far all I know about the new series is that it involves Catherine Tate and there's a giant library in an episode. So we're off to a flying start. Yay!
Bonus - Whox2
(Also Who related, someone somewhere mentioned that Stephen Moffat is sexist. Where is this coming from? I've seen and loved quite a bit of his work (bought Jeykll on DVD the other day. That is some serious technique. Satisfies my critical analysis training right down to the bones), and never noticed anything terribly sexist about any of it. I mean, this is the guy who created Lynda Day. Have I missed something?)
Hollyoaks, AKA lkashfsadikjCRAIG
I have discovered Hollyoaks on YouTube (Link. I cheated and started watching at 77 or so. Wish I hadn't now, but that's what I stumbled upon) and am now obsessed. Am sure that has lost me some respect from some English people, but I don't care. I love my trashy English soaps, though generally they contain a bit more comedy, ala At Home With the Braithwaites and Shameless, but whatever. It pleases me. It's one of those great yell at the screen/page texts, and oh but I loves me some yelling at the screen.
Well... to be honest, I'm really only there for Craig. He's all gruff and miserable and pouty and vulnerable and beautiful and confused and I love boys like that. Oh and when he smiles, warms my 'eart, it does. The miserable ones are always so much prettier when they smile.
And his story with John Paul was just so sweet, about as sweet as you can get in a soap with that format and that writing, and it absolutely gutted me at the end there. He's coming back in September or November, and, well, SUNSET ENDING SUNSET ENDING EEEEEE!!!
I'm just a big romantic, really.
I am not English.
As a result of said Hollyoaksing, I'm stuck in that accent. During my stats exam, I kid you not, I was thinking in the Hollyoaks accent. I can't stop. My Australian accent has such a loose grip on the world. It's been sliding into English and European accents for the fun of it for years now, and I find I'm much more comfortable and eloquent in my preferred English accent, and all tangents are delivered in it. But thinking in an accent, this is new. And fun, but I kinda miss my Aussie accent. It's nice and rough and natural. But now using it feels weird! This is not a normal dilemma! I sound too wussy English!
I love it when this show gets impressive
Skins is being all weird and amazing again tonight. Dude. For all that I don't quite love that show, it does have some really masterful moments.
Whelp, that was longer than I intended and I've forgotten anything else I may have wanted to say, which probably means it's time or bed. Babbling's a nice way to wind down. Thought will come tomorrow. Or some time after that. I have five weeks before I actually need it again, so there's no hurry.
Ahhh.
