Doctor Who!!!

Just saw Doctor Who…

OMGosh I am just amazed!!!!

I have been soooo excited just waiting to see Matt Smith play The Doctor and he’s amazing!!! I have to admit… I thought he might copy a bit of The Tenth Doctor, but The Eleventh is a different kind of Doctor… I can’t explain it…. something about him was just different…

The whole episode made me just laugh, cry, break my heart, and be amazed at his portrayal.

My favourite moment was probably when the Prisoner 0 turned into the Doctor and he looked at it like “that’s the best you could do” and the nurse goes “That’s you! Don’t you know that?” and he’s like “really? Had a long day” anyways… I thought it was hilarious that he was all “seriously? that’s what I look like?” Poor Doctor really wants to be ginger, but he never gets it, eh?

I also adored “wibbly wobbly timey wimey” !!!

This note isn’t very nicely organized but I want it all out before I forget…

 

NOWWW…My absolute favourite part is The Doctor chastising the Atraxi:

Doctor: “Come on then, the Doctor will see you now!!!’'

Atraxi: “You are not from this world”

Doctor: “No but I’ve put alot of work into it”

Atraxi: Is this world important?

Doctor: Important? What kind of a question is that? 6 Billion people live here, is that important? Now here’s a better question, is this world a threat to the Atraxi? Oh come on you’re monitoring the whole planet, is this world a threat?

Atraxi: No

Doctor: Are the peoples of this world guilty of any crime by the laws of the Atraxi?

Atraxi: No

Doctor: Okay, One more, just one. Is this world protected? You’re not the first to come here, oh no there have been so many. And what you’ve got to ask is, what happened to them?

Hello. I’m the Doctor. Basically. Run.

AND THEY DID!!!!!!!!!

I love Matt Smith playing this part, he is amazing! The look on this face when he said “Okay, one more, just one” it was utter arrogance', which for some reason works so well for him!! He said it all with such authority:D I loved it!! Though I have to say, he reminded me a bit of Chris, the Ninth… the look on his face… brings back memories… anyways… gonna sleep now:)

STAY GREEN!!!

Tucholsky: Das Ideal

Ja, das möchste:
Eine Villa im Grünen mit großer Terrasse,
vorn die Ostsee, hinten die Friedrichstraße;
mit schöner Aussicht, ländlich-mondän,
vom Badezimmer ist die Zugspitze zu sehn -
aber abends zum Kino hast dus nicht weit.

Das Ganze schlicht, voller Bescheidenheit:

Neun Zimmer - nein, doch lieber zehn!
Ein Dachgarten, wo die Eichen drauf stehn,
Radio, Zentralheizung, Vakuum,
eine Dienerschaft, gut gezogen und stumm,
eine süße Frau voller Rasse und Verve -
(und eine fürs Wochenend, zur Reserve) -
eine Bibliothek und drumherum
Einsamkeit und Hummelgesumm.

Im Stall: Zwei Ponies, vier Vollbluthengste,
acht Autos, Motorrad - alles lenkste
natürlich selber - das wär ja gelacht!
Und zwischendurch gehst du auf Hochwildjagd.

Ja, und das hab ich ganz vergessen:
Prima Küche - erstes Essen -
alte Weine aus schönem Pokal -
und egalweg bleibst du dünn wie ein Aal.
Und Geld. Und an Schmuck eine richtige Portion.
Und noch ne Million und noch ne Million.
Und Reisen. Und fröhliche Lebensbuntheit.
Und famose Kinder. Und ewige Gesundheit.

Ja, das möchste!

Aber, wie das so ist hienieden:
manchmal scheints so, als sei es beschieden
nur pöapö, das irdische Glück.
Immer fehlt dir irgendein Stück.
Hast du Geld, dann hast du nicht Käten;
hast du die Frau, dann fehln dir Moneten -
hast du die Geisha, dann stört dich der Fächer:
bald fehlt uns der Wein, bald fehlt uns der Becher.

Etwas ist immer.
Tröste dich.

Jedes Glück hat einen kleinen Stich.
Wir möchten so viel: Haben. Sein. Und gelten.
Daß einer alles hat:
  das ist selten.

(1927)

Humanoid

Location: Home, Where else?

Mood: tired and sore but sore isn’t actually a mood.

Music: Humanoid [German Version] – Tokio Hotel

Nothing much to say. Started jogging with Sharon- last 2 weeks. And yeah. Having quite a week. Still depressed a bout Mr. Steffens. Still haven’t told Josh.

Kinda wishing I was humanoid though-

Ich will mein Herz nicht [I don’t want my heart]
Ich will den Schmerz nicht [I don’t want the pain]
Ich will mein Kopf nicht [I don’t want my head]

But then again. If I really think about it. It’s a bit like the Cybermen from Doctor Who. Their emotions were cut out to make them more efficient and what not. Do I really want to be emotionless? I don’t know if I would still be me then. The thing about emotions is that even though they really are a witch spelled wrong; they make us who we are. It’s what makes us different. Humans feel so much more than many other animals (as far as we know. Believe me, I think most animals can feel a lot more that we supposedly superior (note the sarcasm) humans think) and if you took that away I don’t know if we’re still human. It’s one of the things that I think helps us to move forward as a civilization as a whole. But then again, look at these quotes from Doctor Who: Rise of the Cybermen and from Doomsday:

Rose Tyler: [On the Cybermen] They're people?
The Doctor: They were. Now they've had all their humanity taken away. That's a living brain jammed inside a cybernetic body, with a heart of steel. All emotions removed.
Rose Tyler: Why no emotion?
The Doctor: Because it hurts.

Interesting argument eh?

Looking back at an amazing teacher

Location: Home, Switzerland

Music: Rette Mich- Tokio Hotel- Schrei

Mood: Sad and devastated.

Last Thursday, the world lost a wonderful man. He was a president, or a soldier, or someone with great power or money. He wasn’t famous, or well-known. Not somebody who lead a group of revolutionary or a Nobel prize winner. He was so much more that all of that. He was a teacher.

Mr. Steffens was my Home Room teacher in Grade 8, at Burnt Elm Public School, and then he taught my brother at Cheyne Public School.  He was an awesome teacher, in that he knew how to push us, to make us motivate ourselves. In German class, we were talking of teachers who knew how to put the right sort of pressure. There’s the ones who push us so hard and tire us out, and the ones who know how to bring out the part in us that pushed ourselves. That was Mr. Steffens. I used to hate him because he made it hard for me to get a good mark- but then it became quickly clear to me that he was only trying to push me harder.

Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t take teachers for granted. Teachers are special people who really do more than we will ever understand. They bear more responsibility than any other worker on this planet because they have to teach everything to the future generation. They shape our future more than anything. And losing one of them, is as big a tragedy as it can get.

We’ll all miss Mr. Steffens. I know that there’s a whole load of things that the world will miss out on because we’ve lost him.
