| Day 1096 |
[31 Dec 2009|01:38am] |
Tonight I was sick (for the sixth day in a row, damn lingering cold) and I had to pack up my apartment. It was the first New Years Eve that I've EVER spent alone. The only year I can even remember not doing anything was a couple years ago when I was sick, but I still had my boyfriend of the time there. It was just an eerie feeling.

HELLOOO
NEW YEAR!
hope you don't drink so much that you look like this tomorrow.
2009 < 2010
Happiness is too many things these days for anyone to wish it on anyone lightly. So let's just wish each other a bile-less New Year and leave it at that.-- Judith Crist

I don't make any after an experience a few years back. I made a resolution to be even more of an idiot. After nobody noticed that I thought whats the point?

My puppy lives with my mom right now (only for a few more weeks though!) and I hadn't seen him since October. I think he missed me.

The plan for today was to get up and go to my hometown for the holidays after John left. But I ended up spending the whole day moping around.

Marco Polo
The TARDIS arrives in fifteenth century Mexico inside the tomb of one-time Aztec High Priest Yetaxa. The travellers become cut off from the ship when they explore the temple outside and the tomb door closes behind them. Barbara is proclaimed by the High Priest of Knowledge, Autloc, as Yetaxa's divine reincarnation. However, she incurs the enmity of the High Priest of Sacrifice, Tlotoxl, when - against the Doctor's advice - she attempts to use her new-found authority to put an end to the Aztec practice of human sacrifice.
Events reach a climax on the Day of Darkness - the time of a solar eclipse. Ian's unwilling conflict with the Aztecs' 'chosen warrior', Ixta, ends in a fight in which the latter falls to his death from the temple roof. The Doctor manages to reopen the tomb door using a wheel-and-pulley that he has carved (the Aztecs not having mastered the use of the wheel) and the travellers make good their escape.

"Death might be top. Why shit it?" - Liam Gallagher.
So with the association football season about halfway through, lets revisit my predictions a week before they started in August and illustrate why I am not never have been and never will be a gambler:
FA Premier League champions: Manchester United. (Current placing: 2nd)
FA Cup winners: Liverpool. (Not played in cup yet but still unlikely).
Carling Cup winners: Arsenal. (Knocked out in quarter-finals).
Championship winners: Ipswich Town. (Current placing: 21st out of 24).
League One winners: Leyton Orient. (Current placing: 20th out of 24).
League Two winners: Bradford City. (Current placing: 14th out of 24).
Champions' League winners: Inter Milan. (Play Chelsea in quarter-finals in February).
Think about this before you listen to any whacko telling you the Mayans said that the world will end in 2012 just as Nosradamus told him we'd be dead in 1999!
Peace be upon you,
Sir_Red_Joe.

Marco Polo
The TARDIS arrives on the planet Marinus on an island of glass surrounded by a sea of acid. The travellers are forced by the elderly Arbitan to retrieve four of the five operating keys to a machine called the Conscience of Marinus, of which he is the keeper. These have been hidden in different locations around the planet to prevent them falling into the hands of the evil Yartek and his Voord warriors, who plan to seize the machine and use its originally benevolent mind-influencing power for their own sinister purposes.
Now the machine has been modified to overcome the Voords and can be reactivated, so the keys must be recovered. In their quest, the travellers - transported from place to place by Arbitan's wristwatch-like travel dials - have adventures in the city of Morphoton; in a building besieged by ambulatory plants; with a lecherous and murderous trapper; and in the city of Millennius where Ian is falsely accused of murder and discovers that the legal rule is 'guilty until proven innocent'.
The keys are eventually retrieved and the travellers return to the island. Arbitan has been killed by Yartek, who apparently tricks Ian into handing over the final key. Ian, however, passes a fake key instead and when Yartek tries to use it the machine explodes, killing him and the Voords.

Coming up! The Aztecs! Watch it by December 29!

Marco Polo
Arriving in Central Asia in 1289, the Doctor and his companions join the caravan of the famous Venetian explorer Marco Polo as it makes its way from the snowy heights of the Pamir Plateau, across the treacherous Gobi Desert and through the heart of imperial Cathay.
Having witnessed many incredible sights and survived a variety of dangers, they eventually arrive at the mighty Kublai Khan's Summer Palace in Shang-tu, where the Doctor strikes up an extraordinary friendship with the now-aged ruler.
They move on at last to the even more sumptuous Imperial Palace in Peking, where the travellers manage to save the Khan from an assassination attempt by the Mongol warlord Tegana - supposedly on a peace mission - before departing once more in the TARDIS.
( My thoughts )
Up next: The Keys of Marinus! Watch it by December 27! I left some room for THE END OF TIME, PART ONE, YOU GUYS, ARE YOU READY? I'm not. I have shitty internet, I live in the US, and the library's closed until Jan. 4th. I have NO idea where I'm going to go to download it, but I HAVE to do it ASAP. There's no waiting for this. It's going to be epic.
Also, have a WONDERFUL Christmas!

So...apparently I picked the wrong person to challenge by telling them that they wouldn't come to see me. My friend John drove from Iowa to Tucson just because I doubted the fact that he would. But I had an amazingly fun time with him here. Corie, Tim, John and I went out to dinner and to the bars last night.

Rage Against The Machine, 'Killing In The Name' |
] |
"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world". - Richard Dawkins.
Yay!! So Rage Against The Machine beat Simon Cowell's fuckwaful X Factor single to number one! Power to the people!! What a wonderful country. It feels like the start of some kind of fightback against manufactured pop. I mean the four finalists actually record the single then the winner releases it. How fake can you get?
Punk didn't happen like that. Or grunge. Or hip-hop. Or Madchester. Any significant musical movement in history was not created by a TV show. They may have given it airtime but the scene itself was years in the making, years of little money but great enthusiasm for what they were doing.
This year has been a good one for internet campaigning, who can forget the summer's 'We Love the NHS' spectacular when the whole nation erupted in support of our health service in the face of right-wing lies and provocation? The power of the web and networking sites is coming into its own as a force for good and as a way for the majority to be heard.
RATM's stunning victory has proved once and for all that though you may have a ratings-winner on the TV, when people have had enough they have had enough. Even people who hated the song still downloaded it because they were sick of the Cowell dominance of the charts. I'd like to see more of this the next time one of his pop gonks tries to turn the charts into a cakewalk. But until then lets revel in the moment!
Peace be upon you,
Sir_Red_Joe.
