Random info on the blogger’s life:

- 17 bookshelves in my room, all stocked to the brim with sci-fi, fantasy, comics, manga, rock bios and education books.

- 4 milk crates worth of records and vinyl.

- 4 shelves worth of CD’s.

- A record player, CD player, tape player, Mp3 player and an old ham radio make up my soundscape.

His first scene in and I remember how much I love Syrio Forel.  Probably one of my favorite characters of the show thus far.

Greg Weisman, aka the creative genius who made Gargoyles one of the coolest shows of my childhood, is on tap as executive producer of the new Star Wars show.  The good news just keeps on piling up tonight.

The moment where you friend honestly spoils something by accident and you want to scream/brain purge/something.

Red vs Blue begins again on June 14th.  Bring the noise, Roosterteeth.  Bring the goddamn noise.

I’m not ashamed to say that I like most animals more than I like most people.  Animals are honest in expressing how they feel, at the very least.

Tacking this on to the last Doctor post:  You don’t realize how bladder emptyingly terrifying Smith’s Doctor is until you look back at the previous ones, especially 9 and 10.  9 (though with us for a short time) gave a couple of moments of “Oh shit”, but would always come around with a smile.  10 would do something horrible to you, but would always say “I’m so sorry” and he sounded like he meant it.  11, on the other hand, will smile, but almost never apologizes for his actions.  He is completely comfortable raining down Hell on your poor head because you just royally pissed him off or threatened one of his friends.  He also ranges in fury “temperatures”: He can be red hot, shouting and making a spectacle of everything, or he can go ice cold, where he talks to you in that oh so calm voice, and you know bad things are coming.

Missed both airings of the Doctor Who season finale, but bought the season pass last night on iTunes.  Doing a rewatch of the recent half-season, then jumping back into Game of Thrones.  Following that, I’ll probably wrap everything up by completely catching up on Castle.  Who knows where I’ll go after that.

You don’t realize how mad Matt Smith’s Doctor is until you think “What if he showed up at my door out of the blue?”  Call the police, lock yourself in, because a crazy man won’t leave you alone.

As if we didn’t love Agent Coulson enough, they do the short “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor’s Hammer.”  Majorly looking forward to the series in the fall.

I just found out that the guy from Epic Meal Time is a substitute teacher.  The pride for my job just got raised a couple of notches.  LIKE A BOUWSE!

I’m going to miss “The Name of the Doctor” tonight… and probably tomorrow night, too.  I’m in full Who lockdown until I download the episode.  A moment of Silence for all those who know my plight.  And help a brother out by NOT POSTING SPOILERS!

Another teaching day event: was in for an Economics 12 class, which was comprised of 14 guys and 1 girl.  So you know things are going to be interesting.  Well, there was a international student, who, despite speaking very solid English, obviously had it as a second language.  He turns to the guys behind him, and asks, quite clearly, “You say it as penis, yes?”  And for the next minute, the guys around him make sure he can say “penis” correctly.  I stopped questioning why students do these things after I became a teacher.  And to cap it all off, a young lady in another class asked me “How done are you with us?”  It was all I could do to not say “50 Shades of done.”  … I blame Saki.
