I. Remember that issue I had with my seminar being cancelled, and how I had to email the faculty president a month later being like "umm..."? I got an email back that was literally like "I totally forgot", so lirl. But then I did receive an email later telling me I was okay to join the one seminar I had asked for. So that's sorted, I guess. TBH the seminar sounds boring as shit, but I like the prof and my friend is in that course as well sooooo that's okay I guess.

II. Turns out I actually do have Halloween plans! So this weekend I scrambled a bit to put together a costume and wound up defaulting to a generic devil costume. Huzzah. Every year I tell myself that next year I will have an awesome Halloween costume, but it's never really happened, lirl.

III. Last weekend I also went on this haunted ghost walk thing in my city, which primarily was a tour of the old jail. Apparently it is ~very haunted~, and now it is a hostel. I don't really believe in ghosts and I'm not easily scared, but I quite like ghost stories, so I thought it was a lot of fun. The jail here was apparently used until the 70s, when it was shut down for being inhumane. HAVING SEEN THE SIZE OF THE CELLS, I feel qualified to say "no shit".

IV. Hannah got me to watch the pilot for "Once Upon A Time", which was ... so-so. I think I could like it if it lightens up a bit and has more fun with its concept, but probably it'll just continue to be way more srs bsnss than it has any right to be, given that it's a show about fairytales. It's kind of like if someone made Enchanted into a serious drama, and the only thing I liked about Enchanted was the lulz at the disconnect between fairytales and the real world. In conclusion, television needs to make things that don't suck.

V. Mostly though I want to present this open letter to Tumblr:

DEAREST TUMBLR,

I understand your desire to post the same six crying gifs over and over, but there has been absolutely 0 confirmation from anyone in any official capacity that Matt Smith is leaving the show. Every single article you have linked to as "proof" hinges on the same single, ambiguous quote being interpreted by journalists who have nothing to do with the BBC or with Matt Smith's career. You do not need to rush out and get "a bucket" for your "creys" until someone actually confirms something, somewhere. Possibly consider saving your existential crisis for the day, whenever it may be, that Matt Smith actually announces his leave himself.

Also, the handful of you who are worried about the fact that there are "only two regenerations left"?



In conclusion, calm yo tits.

YOURS TRULY,
A lurker interested in saving her popcorn gifs for actual real casting drama
