Vampires?
Posted by: Ace on: November 25, 2009
So I was flipping through a magazine today and they had a page of photos of Twilight-themed goods available to buy online. One of these was a wall transfer that said:
Yep. “I’m just a Bella, waiting for my Edward…” Oh how I lolled.
So I got to thinking about Twilight, which led to thought on vampires [...]
Archaeology and geekery collide:
Posted by: Ace on: August 21, 2009
So I was looking at the subject profiles for the archaeology course at my university.
Budding archaeologists at my uni are trained at something called the Teaching Archaelogical Research Discipline In Simulation site, which is generally known by its acronym.
Thus I came across this on the uni website:
And of course, this being a top university the TARDIS site [...]
That’s one awesome sword.

It also means I am the Housework Queen for the foreseeable future (read: only person who does any of it) as Dad [...]

Tenth Doctor Crossovering into other comics…
Posted by: Ace on: October 20, 2008
There have been a couple instances where comics produced well before the new series of Doctor Who came out contained a person who looked much like the Tenth Doctor.
For example, in a Buffy comic:
Seriously, does the couple in the first panel look like Ten & Rose or what?
and then in an old Fourth Doctor comic:

This is a blog.
You are reading a blog that covers all kinds of things, from science to philosophy to personal life. There's also a fair bit about livng with Aspergers Syndrome here and there. And the occasional bit about cats, of course. For a better idea, see 'about'
