300 pm think its about time to make some lunch. Today feels like a leftovers day, too much work for anything else, lol

Watching this discovery i.d show called most evil. About all the evil people out there and a look at modern science and its attempt to understand the psychopath. Disturbing and fascinating.

Getting on with my day. Mainly cleaning, i have no idea what else to do with my free time, lol.

1055pm hope youre over the cold fangs, those things are the worst. not much going on over here, think i might try to crash early, train a bit for an early appointment i have on monday. 8 am....what was i thinking.

hmm, i dont really have much in the way of guilty pleasures as i think if its pleasurable i shouldnt feel guilty about it. but i guess something that would be considered a guilty pleasure, i consider an immature hobby, is playing pokemon. the old gameboy versions mainly.

favourite way to relax after a long day?

have moved on to a zombie book, its by no means an educational or enlightening piece of literature, but it is fun. lots of gore and ridiculousness. the book is:

Marco polo

Year: 1289

First things first, this whole episode arc is a reconstruction. Just picture and the audio for 7 episodes. It wasnt easy to watch, im not gonna lie. I definitely prefer the episodes that are the actual video (damn you careless 1960's bbc workers), but i do respect the work put into making the recons, thats about all the praise recons get from me. Now, to the story...

The doctor, susan, barbara and ian are now on the roof of the world, only to be captured by marco polo. The explorer is on his way to see kubla khan, bringing him goods or something. It doesnt matter, all that matters is polo takes the travellers prisoner, claiming the tardis, or flying caravan, as his own. So the doctor and friends must find a way to get the tardis back while not getting killed by traitorous mongols or weird bad sounding sandstorms. Polo eventually does come around to the doctors side, but only barely.

As for the doctor, hes actually not really in the story all that much. For the first 4 or 5 episodes hes so overwrought with emotions about the tardis being taken he seems to conk out for a while. Its definitely still in its educational phase as there is a lot of information about marco polo and his dealings with china. Whether its accurate or not to history, i have no idea, so i wouldnt watch this arc if youre doing a report on the guy.

Overall, not the greatest episode. Boring, shitty story, a bloody recon all the way throughout and the doctor wasnt at his best. Id only recommend this one to crazy doctor who fans like me who want to watch every episode.

Abraham lincoln vampire hunter? And yes it was terminator! Nicely done.

A detective will solve the _____
Opposite of women.

(Two words this time, super hero flick)

I gotta go with comic book men. I love every second of that nerdtopia

Favourite number?

True crime is non fiction, if that helps to make your mind up.

right, first off is a book im reading now called pierrepont: a family of executioners. its about the pierrepont family and their vocation, official executioners for the british empire. it is a fascinating read, for the true crime inclined almost every paragraph is a new tale of true horror about a person a pierrepont will soon hang. im talking thousands of criminals here. really well done, concise and to the point. also there is a movie to go along with it which focuses on the youngest of the pierrepont family, albert. it was really great, i cant recommend it enough, even if you dont get around to reading a book about him or the one im reading now. its a hell of a tale.

this is a place for people to recommend the best true crime books youve read recently. im a fan of it, my macabre interest is always wanting more though. so i will share what i find and hopefully you will do the same

3 01 am. updating the crap out of this group, i hope it brings some life back to the group.

all right, admittedly, i dont give this enough attention. considering i last watched the old doctor in march of last year, im definitely behind on my goal. perhaps its cuz i had a goal of 500 movies for 2014 (made that one) but now that thats all done with i can eventually get back to this. so if you are curious to read some old doctor episode reviews be patient, i will get back to it soon :)

took me a while to get to the xmas special, i was like 'ahh i donno... santa? bah humbug and all that' but i finally buckled and loooved it. nick frost was the best santa ever. and thats another shaun of the dead cast member to be on doctor who, theres been a number of them to make the cast roll, its like a checklist at this point.

at the moment the nightly ritual of cartoons is on my screen, aeon flux currently. but i have been on a binge of this showcase show ray donovan, so good. if you like violence sex and a seriously well written show check it out, be careful tho, its addicting.
