I need a teeny tiny violin for all the feeling sorry for myself I got going.
My Dad, Lenard, died in 2007 just a week after Father’s day (and a few days after my birthday). He was a good Dad, not perfect, but good, and I miss him.
Finally after many years of eluding us the Giant Squid has finally been capture on video in its natural habitat.
Congratulation to Dr. Tsunemi Kubodera for being the first scientist to come face to face with this magnificent creature.
And Congratulation to the rest of the scientist who help made this fantastic moment in history possible.
fuck yeah
This was especially fantastic because he is getting up in years and feared he would have to retire before he got to see it, but he was in the mini-sub and saw it with his own eyes. The squid stayed there for something like twenty minutes feeding on the bait, even when he turned the bright light on.
Seven and Ace
Love…
One of the best Doctor/companion relationships ever.
My Doctor and companion pair. Ace’s story was progressing so well, I’m sad they ended before she got there.

I am going to try and go somewhere for my birthday. Maybe head up the hill towards Potato Patch or Chester. I’ve requested the day off and I have a little saved from last week’s paycheck and this week’s check should be a good one again, so I think I can get enough gas money for a day trip. I really just need to get away. I’d go for a couple days if I could.
omfg i am so sorry to all you non-native english speakers that need to learn this shit

Impossible!!
#how do their dresses do the thing #SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW THE DRESSES DO THE THING
This is a weird description, but they’re kind of like banana peels. The top dress peels open. The transformed dress was bound up in the first dress so that when the first one peels open, the transformed dress pops out. The spin is needed not only to help the “magic” look of transformation, but also to provide momentum for the dresses.
Cindy’s dress is a less complex version of the ballgown dress she actually wears. She probably changes into a better one (or at least removes the now hidden dress and adds petticoats. Cindy’s also seems to work with a pull/quick release string - probably the lace on her bodice. Both probably rely on the use of magnets like the Legally Blonde and ALW Wizard of Oz dresses. (Learn about/watch those here and here)
Their crowns probably rely on springy wire so they spring up once they’re no longer covered.
The bit that has me a little stumped is Cindy’s hair. She’s doing the standard long curls attached to a head kerchief to cover her updo, but I’m just not sure how it’s attached to the peasant outfit. It’s obviously attached, because you can see it spin up and under, but it must be a really good rig to pull the wig up so it doesn’t drag.
The Disney World Cinderella does a similar transformation for one of their and this is a good video explaining how it’s done.
And this is everything I couldn’t describe in detail with my answer.
And now we are bigger, tonight it’s bigger [x]
AND THEN I CRIED
My heart. Also Penelope.
Apparently, everything that happens is my fault. Just ask my sister. Her cat pees on the only good pair of shoes I own, it’s my fault for leaving my shoes on the floor (I don’t have any place else for them to go). She knocks something on mine down and it breaks (something even my clumsy cat has managed not to knock down the six months it has been on the TV stand) and it’s my fault for leaving it where she can knock it down. And how dare I be angry by any of this.
As if my life wasn’t enough of a cosmic joke.
