Right…just finished watching Tinker, Tailor and really enjoyed it. Now it’s almost one a.m. and since there doesn’t seem to be anything else to do, I’m going to get in bed and read a couple more chapters of The Secret Life of Houdini. What a thrilling life I lead.

“The internet has its share of discord as well—people erupt in arguments with each other, throwing insults and hurling stupidity like rabid monkeys flinging feces.”

- A paper I’m writing - and so you know, it’s actually part of an argument in favor of internet communities. (via clairesalcedo)

I doubt that anyone cares but I uploaded my SuperWho story Tired and Torn to AO3, the one I wrote last fall that has the Winchesters helping Martha during the Year that Never Was.

Sixteen Things Calvin and Hobbes Said Better Than Anyone Else

amandaonwriting:

On life’s constant little limitations

Calvin: You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don’t help.

On expectations

Calvin: Everybody seeks happiness! Not me, though! That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world. Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!

On why we are scared of the dark

Calvin: I think night time is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction.

On the unspoken truth behind the education system

Calvin: As you can see, I have memorized this utterly useless piece of information long enough to pass a test question. I now intend to forget it forever. You’ve taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. Congratulations.

On the cruel reality of commercial art

Hobbes: Van Gogh would’ve sold more than one painting if he’d put tigers in them.

On the tragedy of hipsters

Calvin: The world bores you when you’re cool.

On the tears of a clown

Calvin: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humour? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?

Hobbes: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.

Calvin: (after a long pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.

On the falling of sparrows (or providence’s lack of a timetable)

Calvin: Life is full of surprises, but never when you need one.

On why winter is the cruellest of seasons

Calvin: Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.

On the gaping hole in contemporary art’s soul

Calvin: People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.

On playing Frankenstein with words

Calvin: Verbing weirds language.

On realising God is more Woody Allen than Michael Bay

Calvin: They say the world is a stage. But obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines.

Hobbes: Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

Calvin: We need more special effects and dance numbers.

On why ET is real

Calvin: Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

On looking yourself in the mirror

Hobbes: So the secret to good self-esteem is to lower your expectations to the point where they’re already met?

On the future

Calvin: Trick or treat!

Adult: Where’s your costume? What are you supposed to be?

Calvin: I’m yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet, raised to an alarming extent by Madison Avenue and Hollywood, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you’re old and weak. Am I scary, or what?

On the truth

Calvin: It’s a magical world, Hobbes, ol’ buddy…Let’s go exploring!

Moffat on Arthur and Karen's final scenes

Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:50:56 -0400

And so, watching this time, I knew it was definitely the final shot. In a few moments’ time. Douglas would call ‘cut’, and Matt, Karen and Arthur would step back out of the box for a laugh and a cry, I’d make some highly inappropriate jokes in place of a speech, and a few hours later, we’d all be at a party, and I’d be dancing very badly. But that’s just real life. What about the story?

What about the Ponds? Amy and Rory wouldn’t be coming back out of the box. Where do the characters go when the story is over?

I don’t know, of course - but wherever they go, I watched them leave. Douglas called ‘action’, our three heroes made their very last dash for the TARDIS and then Amelia Pond and Rory Williams stepped into the blue box and out of this world.

And I never saw them again.

~Steven Moffat, DWM 448
