And all I could think of was this:
enjoy folks and have a brilliant day tomorrow!

The Supernatural "Wendigo"
you lucky people! Two Blog entries in one day!
In fact, it's a continuation of a similar story.
So, we finish dinner and depart (the paradoxical spoon in pocket) to a club. We meet up with more people, have fun and generally enjoy ourselves, before "moving onto a nightclub". The "Nightclub" turned into Dave's flat, where we watched How to Train Your Dragon followed by Supernatural. Everyone there proceeded to alarm Dave when we predict the entire story based SOLELY on the first five minutes of the first episode.
All in all, it was a brilliant night, right up until we reached the episode called Wendigo.
Bit of background first off.
A Wendigo is a creature from the Algonquian people. Supposedly, if you're trapped in the woods of Canada and eat the flesh of another human, the Wendigo spirit will take possession of your body, giving you super-strength, immortality and immunity. Sound like a good deal? It's not. It also leaves you with an addiction to Human Flesh and, unlike smoking, you cannot get "beat" this one. You'll keep eating human flesh and the more flesh you eat, the more the Monster takes over you. Sound like fun? Go to Canada with a slow friend and eat him. If it works, let me know. If it doesn't, turn yourself over to the authorities.
Anyway, back to Supernatural.
In the episode, the "Wendigo" looked like this:
I am sorry BUT THIS IS NOT A WENDIGO! A Wendigo looks like this:
This is basically a Werewolf:
with a lot of these thrown into the mix:
It is not THIS:
THAT is this guy:
after he's let himself go, lost his cool tunic and in absolute desperate need of a manicure (Granted, the Master could do with one as well, if I'm honest).
That said, Supernatural is a good series. I enjoyed the episodes I watched and will probably be buying the series on DVD. I fully recommend it to other lovers of a Fantasy series.

The Paradoxical Spoon
Right, it's Saturday night. I've just proven myself a brilliant source of Doctor Who trivia on a radio show (done by my mate Kerri), and, armed with a group of five other people, dropped the keys off somewhere and gone off in search of food, which, in this case, was of chinese origin.
Now, one long and slightly perilous (back alleys) journey later, we arrive at a Chinese. While some of my dinning companions were making Hobbit Homes out of their rice dishes (and in the case of Heather, an exercising Gandalf), I was rewarded with King Prawn Chow Mein. Delicious it was too!
NOW, throughout my meal, this has remained, unused at my side.
That's a spoon, for the record.
Upon completing my main course, I noticed something rather important.
My Spoon was gone! Now, you normally people would probably assume the Waiter picked it up by accident, but not me. I know the truth. And it all relates to this man:
That's me 12 years in the future for the record. (I don't know why I have grey hair. I just do.). Clearly, in 12 years time, I'm about to eat something, and decided to get a specific spoon. So I went back in time to the present, when I look like this:
to take that specific spoon! BUT WAIT! IT gets better. Upon ordering desert (cheesecake nomnomnomnom) I asked for a spoon. Now, I am convinced that the spoon I recieved is the exact same spoon my future self took! My theory is, 12 years AFTER I went back in time and took the spoon (so 24 years after I've first gone to the Chinese place - and I look like this)
(Again, I don't know why I'm so grey.)
I must've found the spoon and realized that, in order to complete this never ending Time Loop, I need to go back in time AND give the spoon to the waitress. So I went back, gave her the spoon with the specific instructions to give me that spoon, and then gone back to the future happy that I'd completed the Time Loop.
But, ultimately, the important thing is:
(Ocarina of Time fans should remember the "Get Item" theme for that picture).
That's my theory anyway and in 24 years time, I'll tell you if that was the case.
Also, on the radio, apparently my catchphrase is huzzah!
Long Live and Prosper.

Announcement Time!
Right, first off! An origin story!
I love Doctor Who!
I also love Music!
So naturally, I also love the Doctor Who Soundtracks. Well, late one night (or early one morning) I was downloading (LEGALLY FROM AMAZON! I PAID AND EVERYTHING!) the Series 5 Soundtrack. Because it comes through one song at a time, I was listening to ones which had downloaded. Well, the song Fish Custard came on, and I suddenly realized something!
As I mentioned before, I love Doctor Who!
But I love Fish Fingers...
And Custard.
So why not COMBINE THEM and actually try Fish Custard.
AND because that's not enough for me, I thought, why don't I film it and put it on Youtube! Well, in two weeks, I'd headed up to Scotland with my mate Jeremy (Remember him? He's the one throttling me in a previous entry) to stay with a mutual friend, Kerri. She has already agreed to make me Fish Custard AND to film it, so all you pretty people out there will be able to enjoy me as I (hopefully) eat Fish Custard.
ALSO!
Unlike Charlieissocool, I will NOT stop if (probably when) it gets disgusting. I will eat ALL the Fish Fingers I am given.

The scene that inspired this little quirk. Ironically, THOSE are NOT fish fingers. He actually ate breaded cakes. LIAR! |

Make note of this date in your diary
I was wrong.
First off. No. It isn't the Apocalypse. Daleks, Borg or various other aliens from Science Fiction haven't invaded nor has Nicholas Cage become a truly brilliant actor and it isn't the year 2012 (though the World won't end then either. I've seen it. BRILLIANT YEAR! Bit rubbish for Music though).
Now onto the admitting to what I was wrong. Well, it all steams down to....this:
Well, to be more specific, it boiled down to the White one! For those idiots out there who don't know what White is (First off, why are you on the Internet? You should be in School or Jail), I mean This one:
See, it's pretty. Well, I think it's pretty. ANYWAY, besides the point! A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away (Well, September and my Gran's living room as opposed to my own) I had just discovered this:
The recently announced Yellow (or Eternal) Dalek which was exclusive to Hastings in America. At that point, there were only four of them, the Red (Drone), Orange (Scientist) (Another exclusive which came with a Captain Forehead Figure), Blue (Strategist) and that one! I was ranting about the simple fact that we would very likely only be getting the White one (pictured above - go back and look if you're too thick to remember what it looks like) was in a boxset...with the other four which I had painstakingly collected (Getting the Eternal from a friend in America).
WELL, this was announced today:
This announcement was rumoured for a while on several forums and, in a somewhat surprising and frankly disconcerting twist of fate, it was true. Now before all Doctor Who Figure Forum Users start panicking, I just want to point this out! Look! It's figures of all the Daleks, including the White one! Here's a close-up:
Now, for the admission of my wrongness. Those Figures ARE all being released...seperately. Which means, I can pick up a White Supreme Dalek without gaining any additional extra figures (I've done my Army building for the Paradigm). It also means some people might think I wasted £24.99 on a figure I could've bought for £8.99.
Well, I didn't. At the time, spending £24.99 looked like the only way I would've have gotten that figure, and it was also worth it to know that I had it before several people...because I'm an Arse like that.
BUT before you all call me an idiot, let me point out something I was DEFINATELY RIGHT ABOUT:
On the left (^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^) IS A STONE DALEK! I was right about that! So don't doubt me, because I am well and truly amazing.
Live long and Prosper. Now away.
ALSO! This is not my mega update. That got cancelled due to me not being arsed to do it.

I'm still alive!
Hello!
Sorry for the lack of recent updates...all three of you who read this on a regular basis. But this really irritating thing called Reality got in the way of me. Apparently, Reality is like this:
and not like this, which is what I thought:
My Gran has a fall, and broke her ankle (Both are back home and healing nicely) so me and Dad have come over to help look after her (Dad more then me. my own health issues keep me from doing much beyond making the odd cup of tea). However, my Aunt and Uncle are about to come back, so my reality viewpoint can return to normal. (The second chart for those of you who've jumped ahead).
Basically, this entry was to let my beloved fanbase (You know who you are) I'm still alive!
Expect a more detailled entry....soonish.
My Beloved Dog Lal has just thrown up what looks like a pile of currents on my Gran's living room floor. Pleasent. Guess what I won't be eating for a while...
If you said Currents, YOU'RE WRONG! LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I won't be eating Pies!

In closing, I have an exciting annoucement. I now have what will become my standard goodbye.
Live long and Prosper...now go away.
Much love, peeps!
PS! idea for Dreams and Reality Charts came from Father Ted. RIP Dermot Morgan!
