31st-Mar-2008 10:42 pm - Doctor who character rant
books
You need the experience of thousands of encounters with thousands of races to have a general idea of what can and can't be done and how. Thats why no matter how good the Doctor's companions are, they always tend to play second fiddle to him. If they had a couple years of experience, then they might start to see problems and solutions the same way the Doctor does.

An example of this is Rose. At the end of the second season, she got very good at problem finding and solving. So good in fact, that during 'The Idiots Lantern'(1950's Facy-sucking TV ep.) she actually found the solution before they even noticed what was wrong. Again, later in the episode, she tracked down the store owner that was selling the evil TV's that sucked peoples faces out before the Doctor even knew what was face-sucking people in the first place.

All of this detective work was simple QED. She is a resourceful, intelligent young lady with experience in weird things. She was not put off by the fact that people has their faces sucked off. She noticed the fact that there were an awful lot of TV antennas for the time. She also noticed the cause of this was someone selling them cheap. She observed the odd, possibly alien lightning that had o reason to be crawling over the TV. A tv in the house the mysterious face sucking occurred. A TV sold by a person who was practically giving them away to people. In these circumstances, the only previous knowledge needed was faceless people are not normal, pink lightning has no reason to be on or around a TV, and TV's were rare at the time of the Queens Coronation. Even with no time traveling experience, a person could follow these clues and arrive at the conclusion that the TV seller was irresponsible. It was simply easier for her because she DID have experience in timetraveling and weird things.

Rose is good at it. It's been proven. What she wasn't good at is making people stop doing them. This is also proven; I.E. the Sycorax ship speech. She just doesn't have the experience necessary to know what to do or how to do it. Which is why she was promptly face-sucked when she confronted the TV guy. The doctor almost always does that part, and if he doesn't, it's just a matter of brute force. She really doesn't have that brute force, at least not without a chain to swing on or a gun to shoot, and it wouldn't have mattered anyway because the enemy used power and technology outside of her knowledge or understanding (also known as experience). She failed miserably.

Open letter to myspace friend:

<--! Quote>-------------------------------------------------------
BS! Your're lending a helping hand to the idea that women are INFERIOR!

"When she pushes you or hits you like a RETARD cuz she thinks shes stronger than you,
[Grab her and dont let go.]"

Dont spread lies like this around, guys might believe it, or use it as justification! This isn't true at all! We KNOW we arn't stronger than them, we just use pushing for emphasis. Jesus, you make us sound like stuid blonds.

Stuff like that is more insidious (worse) than saying stuff like "women are weak" or "women shouldn't vote" or "thats a mans job" becuase people don't automatically bitch at you for saying it.

And it's not just that one line, it's the entire friggen thing too!

16th-Feb-2008 08:14 pm - HTML in Myspace
books
...is a bit strange. I just recently hotlinked an img and every time I hit POST, the evil thing kept putting a / at the end of my alagator brackets ">".

Needless to say, the img didnt work.
I messed around with it until I took out an extra space between the " and the > and it finally worked.

At other times, when i've been putting an embed in, evil myspace manages to erase some of the html and puts in elipsies! "..." ARG! I have to go back in edit and change it back again. I now save everything I change or write in myspace (clipboard) just incase myspace rejects the html!!

Does anyone else have this problem?

LiveJournal HTML is just as strange. EVIL LITTLE &nbsp; Everytime I double space... Must be hard for fic writes on here.

books

The lives actors lead are horrifyingly amazing! Famous people can't even walk down the street without a disguise or else be goggled at.

While some live on the fame, it is no excuse to act like you can know or ask anything about the person in question.

Look here. I am ashamed and embarassed for all the people in the audiance and on stage. What gives us the right to know every tiny little detail of these people's lives?! Then again, he could've just disinclined the invitation to the show.

Sci-Fi breeds a special kind of obsession. An example of this is Trekies and Star Wars Freaks. All Sci-fi has this. SciFi is about immersing yourself into the fantasy, and immerse we do. This obsession leads to not just knowing everything about the show, but knowing everything about the actors /production /design details/ plot details/ thrown away script suggestions/ etc.

If I was to act, it wouldn't be in one of the big brand sci-fi series. Maybe not any sci-fi production, to be safe. I am shy at heart, and could not deal with the constant attention that these actors gain, not for their acting skills (though it helps), but for the fact that they play a character that people obsessively love/hate.

I would not want reporters sticking mics in my face at wedding and funerals.  I would not want people comming up to me to ask questions about my sex life.  And I definately would not want strange people calling me all hours of the day to ask personal questons!

All actors and famous people deal with this in one degree or another, but it is in my opinion that sci-fi tends to breed people that think it's not only socially acceptable, but necessary to do so!

I guess, in the end, people want to know how other people live their lives to see how their own life measures up.
