"what is that noise?" "oh, just your wife killing herself."  
I. I saw two plays in the last two days! Sometimes I watch things even though there are no Doctor Who cast in it, I swear. The first was a romcom called Salt Water Moon and is by some "famous" Canadian playwright. I guess I shouldn't put quotations around famous, given that I can name like, 3 playwrights and two of them have been dead for like four hundred years, so maybe he is famous I guess. Anyway, it was a two-person show about two Newfoundlanders in love~ in the 1920s. They both tried to do the Newfoundland accent, which LOL. It started off slow but I got into it as it picked up. At one point the guy is attempting to make the girl jealous by boasting about all the girls he's dated since her, and she doesn't believe him and is all "PFT YEAH RIGHT WHAT ARE THERE NAMES?" and he's like "HER NAME WAS ROSE" and I loled louder than anyone else and for different reasons.

The second was ~the Scottish Play~ at the other university in town. It was... what you would expect from a college Shakespeare production, with varying degrees of talent within the cast. Macbeth himself was easily the best (and pretty attractive ngl). Lady Macbeth was decent. MacDuff was pretty good. Everyone else... lol. Essentially there was a lot more laughing than one can usually expect from a performance of Macbeth. On the bright side, none of them tried Scottish accents, which I am counting as a win.

II. The friend I saw Macbeth with is one of my few non-internet friends who watches Doctor Who, and hanging out with her is always great because she validates my fandom opinions even though she's not in fandom. We had an animated discussion over dinner about how nonsensical 6x13 was, probably to the wonderment of everyone else at the Quiznos.

III. YOU GUYS ABED AND TROY WERE INSPECTOR SPACETIME AND THE CONSTABLE lololol this is the best running joke ever.

IV. I have to write a children's story for my Children's Lit class. On one hand this is exciting, because it'll be the most creative writing I've ever done for my university degree. On the other hand, jfc I can barely write fic anymore, let alone something original, so AHHHHHHHH. I keep waiting for some kind of magical inspiration to strike. It has not.

I miss writing, though. SO I AM GOING TO DO ONE OF THOSE PROMPT MEMES. Except that like I don't actually know any so I'm just going to make some up. Isn't one of them, like, give me the title of a fic and the pairings/characters and I will write a sample of it? SURE, TRY THAT. Or just give me a standard prompt or quote or whatever IDK, just try and give me ideas and I will try and write something. You all know what I am and am not likely to write so no Michelle this will probably not be the day you convince me to write Ianto/Sherlock.

V. Lastly, ALL THAT SOCIALIZING + a Halloween party tomorrow means I'm probably just going to sit home tonight and watch TV. Fuck yeah. On my list are Midnight and Waters of Mars so if anyone wants in on that action let me know.

Anyway, have a gif from the best deleted scene ever:



lol Ten and Martha

I am a bit worried for the characters in your children's story. Kali, kids' stories usually don't require the main characters to require therapy after the events of the story.

Prompts:

Cloen and Rose go to America and both suck at doing American accents.

Amy and Rory go to visit Rory's cousin, Ben and his friend Hannah
Kali: dw :: rose :: worth it_thirty2flavors on October 28th, 2011 05:33 pm (UTC)
Uh The Little Match Girl is the saddest thing ever so I am not sure your argument holds. BUT I CAN WRITE FLUFF. Sort of. Sometimes.

Cloen and Rose go to America and both suck at doing American accents.

lol this is so great to imagine but would be so much better to watch than to read.
Opalshinyopals on October 28th, 2011 05:35 pm (UTC)
Is Billie's American accent bad? (I am assuming the reason for your prompt is you have seen the Reasons to be Pretty trailer...) IT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD FROM HERE.
Hannahfirstofoct on October 28th, 2011 05:36 pm (UTC)
She sounds a bit Eastern European.
Opal: TFoP: couldn't save themshinyopals on October 28th, 2011 05:37 pm (UTC)
Lol fair enough. TO ME SHE SOUNDS AMERICAN, SO IT'S ALL GOOD.
Kali_thirty2flavors on October 28th, 2011 05:37 pm (UTC)
Yeah if I was trying to pin down where her accent is from, without the support of the other American-sounding actors, I would be looking in that general direction.
Austin: unfairly prettyjohnmayergirl23 on October 28th, 2011 07:12 pm (UTC)
lol right?!?! not even close, bills. sorry.
demented & sad, but socialpapilio_luna on October 28th, 2011 07:59 pm (UTC)
I just had to go look this up and... yeah, it's totally bad. We don't say "ag-gainst." We say "ag-genst." So yes I am totally behind the Rose and Cloen go to America and fail at talking American.

Though in looking the trailer up I also discovered that Bills is preggster again. Yay Bills!
Hannahfirstofoct on October 28th, 2011 05:36 pm (UTC)
BECAUSE I HAVE MORE IDEAS:

-SOMETHING happens and Cloen is acting weird/sort of evil and Rose is sad about this. Or the other way around. IDK. This is what happens when I watch TVD.
Opal: WoM: Time Lord Ridiculousshinyopals on October 28th, 2011 05:32 pm (UTC)
Lol at "her name was Rose".

GOOD LUCK WITH THE WRITING.

Also lol "You all know what I am and am not likely to write so no Michelle this will probably not be the day you convince me to write Ianto/Sherlock."
GODDAMNIT. I WOULD READ THAT.

WRITE ME ROSE REJECTING ALL THE DOUCHEBAGS DAVID TENNANT PLAYS.

And Midnight and WoM? jfc do you have a spare tub of ice cream you need to use up or something? XD I KNOW THEY ARE GREAT AND THEY ARE YOUR FAVOURITES, BUT NOTHING IS HAPPY.

Also that gif is amazing.
Kali: dw :: ten :: and i'll come running back _thirty2flavors on October 28th, 2011 05:41 pm (UTC)
I GUESS MICHELLE CAN WRITE YOU IANTO/SHERLOCK FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY.

I KNOW THEY ARE GREAT AND THEY ARE YOUR FAVOURITES, BUT NOTHING IS HAPPY.

LOL LATER I WILL PROBABLY WATCH HAMLET WITH TAY AS WELL SINCE SHE IS WATCHING IT FOR CLASS.

SO I AM GOING TO DO ONE OF THOSE PROMPT MEMES. Except that like I don't actually know any so I'm just going to make some up. Isn't one of them
AU: hamlet and his friends are singing jungle animals.

by some "famous" Canadian playwright. I guess I shouldn't put quotations around famous, given that I can name like, 3 playwrights and two of them have been dead for like four hundred years, so maybe he is famous I guess.
All that means is that a subculture consisting of pretentious university grads think he is the best thing since sliced bread, and maybe that he had been published in a few niche journals or whatever.

that's so cool that you get to write a children's story. i love children's stories that are secretly about super serious issues. maybe you should address the political systems which perpetuate societal inequalities through the lens of a happy donut. I KNOW. I AM BRILLIANT.

DONE AND ALSO I GOT IT ANIMATED FOR YOU:



lol since he's Canadian probably the fact that anyone's ever even performed his plays qualifies him as famous. And they are set in Canada so that's cool I guess.

maybe you should address the political system which perpetuates societal inequalities through the lens of a happy donut.

I'm pretty sure you could easily make an (overly simplistic) racial allegory with donuts, NEGL.
Lizbazcat89 on October 28th, 2011 05:59 pm (UTC)
OH WOW YOU MUST BE A BNF TO HAVE FOUND SOMEONE TO ANIMATE IT FOR YOU

"She knew that she tasted as good as the pink frosted donuts; she knew that as much care went into her making as went into the making of the pink frosted donuts, but nobody ever bought her. In fact, the pink frosted donuts got twice the advertising and display space she did even though the only difference between them was the color of their frosting."

TOLD YOU

in my first comment I almost started writing one about Timbits but what came to mind was how everyone always eats the chocolate ones first and then I just felt awkward.

III. YOU GUYS ABED AND TROY WERE INSPECTOR SPACETIME AND THE CONSTABLE lololol this is the best running joke ever

HOW DID I NOT PICK UP ON THAT LAST NIGHT? I blame exhaustion.

Prompt: something Cloen/Rose, with Cloen having to (cluelessly) deal with Rose having an overly emotional/hormonal day (full of lots of saying the wrong things).

HMMMMM I will think on this.

LOLLLLLLL. I would have laughed inappropriately loudly too.

I've never seen Macbeth performed. I read it for school in the 12th grade, And for some reason my teacher showed us the Polanski film of Macbeth? But there had to be some ninja stopping the tape and fast forwarding because that movie definitely has boobies.

Abed and Troy just hanging out in Inspector Spacetime and the Constable outfits was AMAZING.

I WOULD want to watch Midnight and WoM along with you, but um the party that I have on Saturday is actually apparently tonight. LOLLLL. I AM ON TOP OF THINGS. I would probably have totally forgotten about it if one of my friends hadn't texted me asking for a ride.

And that gif is AMAZING.
Manda (formerly known as springhaze23): DW barrowmanmandamanda on October 28th, 2011 05:48 pm (UTC)
We saw the boobies when our teacher showed it to us in 10th grade. We also saw boobies in the old version of Romeo and Juliet in 9th grade. I guess my school liked boobies? All of the boys in the class were like YESSS AWESOME!
fauxkarenfauxkaren on October 28th, 2011 05:56 pm (UTC)
lol. We watched that version of Romeo and Juliet too, but again with the ninja pausing and fast forwarding. I went to a Baptist high school, so there's no way boobies would have ever been okayed to be shown. So instead we got teachers doing some ninja editing.
Kali: dw :: martha&rose :: oh she's good_thirty2flavors on October 28th, 2011 06:00 pm (UTC)
He used that exact phrase too! lololol

I've actually seen Macbeth performed the most of any Shakespeare play. ...okay, well, I've seen the most separate live productions of Macbeth. Some company came to my high school and did it the year I was in grade 11 when we studied it, I saw it again a few years ago in Stratford (Ontario) with Colm Feore who I think is on the Borgias now, and then this. Unsurprisingly, the professional production wins lirl. We didn't watch a movie I don't think? Oh wait, I think we did watch a bit of a video of a stage play which is always awkward but I think Judi Dench was in it. There were no boobies that I recall, alas.

I KNOW RIGHT, JUST COSPLAYING AT HOME LOL LOL. It occurs to me that saying Abed was "Inspector Spacetime" is probably like saying that David Tennant played "Doctor Who". RIGHT NOW SOMEONE IN COMMUNITYVERSE IS PROBABLY MAKING A FANDOMSECRET ABOUT ME.

LOL UNEXPECTED PARTY. Yikes I hope mine is tomorrow. I have done nothing to prepare.

Oh I thought of a prompt - Cloen and Rose go see Salt Water Moon XD

Hahaha! Which episode was that scene deleted from? Poor Martha.

So, were the Inspector Spacetime and the Constable for Halloween? I may have to start watching this show.
2nd2ndalto2nd2ndalto on October 28th, 2011 11:17 pm (UTC)
I googled Salt Water Moon and I have never heard of that guy, or anything else he has written. Not like I'm an expert on Canadian playwrights or anything, but I can name at least... two.

I LOVE children's lit! Write a story about a sloth! Or another weirdly adorable animal!
lorelaisquared: DW Martha: WTF?lorelaisquared on October 29th, 2011 12:18 am (UTC)
I read this on my phone hours ago...

i) LOL Newfie accent. I can't even. Wow.

At one point the guy is attempting to make the girl jealous by boasting about all the girls he's dated since her, and she doesn't believe him and is all "PFT YEAH RIGHT WHAT ARE THERE NAMES?" and he's like "HER NAME WAS ROSE" and I loled louder than anyone else and for different reasons. Clearly this play was ACTUALLY about the 15th Doctor who is still secretly hung up on Rose and tried to go back for her but cloen beat him up so he's pretending to be human in the 20's instead.

iii) Wait, WAT? When did they say that? Wait, it THAT what their costumes were? LMAO how did I miss that? I. AM. DIM!

iv) YAY children's story. That will be fun! i'm sure you'll come up with something fabulous.

LMAO @ the deleted scene. What is wrong with you. Ten? *pets Martha*
Crys: Wordkirrea on October 31st, 2011 03:59 pm (UTC)
PROMPT:
Two people, of any variety (tall, short, alien, young, old, flamboyant, not flamboyant etc. etc.), run into each other at a graveyard.

Someone shed tears, again, of any variety (sad, angry, happy, fell over and bashed their head on a gravestone, allergies, insect flew into their eye etc. etc.)

Mention lillies/Lily (in honour of Halloween, obvs) at some point for bonus points!

Go forth and be brilliant, young Kalindra!
