221B
Here dwell together still two men of note Who never lived and so can never die: How very near they seem, yet how remote That age before the world went all awry. But still the game’s afoot for those with ears Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo: England is England yet, for all our…

Good things about my Christmas
(That weren’t presents:)
Listening to Lessons and Carols from King’s on the morning of Christmas Eve.
Baking chocolate chip cookies as gifts.
Eating leftover chocolate chip cookies.
Christmas Eve breakfast with biscuits and sausages, the kind of biscuits where you *pop* the can open.
Hubby and I spending Sunday, our wedding anniversary, sitting by the fire reading, in our robes,...

Fancy hot chocolate from my stepdaughter, who has...

“You get what you concentrate upon. There is no other main rule. ”
– Seth, The Nature of Personal Reality (via oceanofmind)
I do think that, by and large, this is true. Of course, if your present circumstances are so bad that they leave you no room to think of anything else (which is true for a large part of the people in the world, most of whom don’t live in...

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, famous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your…

Unpopular Opinion Time (Doctor Who style)

I like Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor more than David Tennant’s Doctor.
*nod nod nod* Nine <3
Yup.
That’s not that shocking of an opinion, is it? I mean, I know Tennant is more popular, but I also know plenty of people who prefer Eccleston (myself included).
Neither of them is as good as Troughton or McCoy though.
I prefer Nine...

theconceptlibrarian:
1. Lots of people call discs “tapes.” CDs, DVDs, etc. — all called “tapes.” Do you have that tape? This tape is scratched.
2. People don’t bring their library cards with them when they go to the library; that’s not too surprising. More surprising: many people have no idea at all where their driver license is. No clue. Is it in here? Maybe it’s over in this pocket…no…maybe I...

“Intoxicants will disappear from the world only when meditation has become a world-wide phenomenon, when each single individual has created some meditativeness in his being; when each single individual has become aware, “There is no need to be miserable. Misery is created by me. Life is not…
Something I need to hear over and over again: “Misery is created by me.”

Surrexi is defending Merlin’s Arthur/Gwen ship, or more precisely, defending Bradley/Angel chemistry. Which, alas, I must disagree with. I don’t think they have the kind of chemistry that Bradley does with Colin or Katie, that Angel did with Katie in the first series, that Katie has with Tony Head, that Head seems to have with every co-star young enough to be...

Just finished watching Star Trek: First Contact for the umptieth time. It finally hit me that throughout the film, the Enterprise people keep saying to Cochrane, “You have to make first contact with the aliens.” Just, “the aliens”. Then comes the moment when the alien figure in the robe and cloak puts back his hood, and the score gives you a brilliant chord as you see...
