Another one done!
That was a tough one.
Come on in and stop for a second to shake your head, dust yourself off, and look back at how far you’ve come.
Sure, it’s been a long year. Some crushing lows slapped you and smacked you around. There were times your heart dipped and you squinted back tears while your stomach squeezed so tightly you couldn’t sleep. There were moments you walked around in a glossy-eyeball...
“I don’t think I’ve seen anything as beautiful as Los Angeles at...”

I’m going to the airport today, which is sort of a little too exciting for me. I’ve not been to one for years, but I’ve always loved airports. If I had more time, I’d go to them and write because where is a better place to go people watching?
If an alien came down and wanted you to sum up humanity best, I’d take them to an airport. Think about it - everything is...
Dream...
I just had a very weird dream. I was Matt Smith, OK? And there were two planes carrying bombs flying past one another and there was some mistake and the bombs were both dropped on the French/German border, but the pilots were flung to safety. After examining, it turned out that both pilots were me/the Doctor who, due to time travel, seemed to have found his way onto both sides during whatever war...

Communication Problems
Mrs. Richards: When I pay for a view, I expect something more interesting than that!
Basil: That is Torquay, Madam.
Mrs. Richards: Well, it's not good enough.
Basil: Oh? And may I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The hanging gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeests sweeping majestically—
Mrs. Richards: Don't be silly. What I wanted was a view of the sea.
Basil (pointing): You can see the sea. It's over there between the land and the sky.
Mrs. Richards: I would need a telescope to see that!
Basil: Then may I recommend you try moving to a hotel closer to the sea! Or preferably in it.
Mrs. Richards: Right, now, listen to me: I'm not satisfied. However, I have decided to stay here. But I shall expect a reduction.
Basil: Why? Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?

The Reverse Block
Social networking sites need a “reverse block”.
This is where, instead of blocking someone so they cannot see your details or actions, you block yourself from accessing their pages and information. Facebook in particular would do well from this.
You would send a request to a friend to block someone from you. If they accept, they will remove the person from your reach, applying a...
Ridcully: Are you the type to burn a book, Lipwig?
Lipwig: No.
Ridcully: Why?
Lipwig: Because you just don't do that sort of thing.
Ridcully: Correct. Books must be treated with respect. We feel that in our bones, because words have power.

How am I a part of this family?
Me: So I was stacking the "Measure for Measure" today...
Dad: What's "Measure for Measure" when it's at home?
Me: *incredulous look*
Dad: *shrug*
Me: It's a really famous Shakespeare play...?
Dad: Oh, OK.
My brain: How the hell did I arise from this family?

'Twas the site before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all ‘cross the web All the users were clicking, the big names and the plebs MySpace was decked out in baubles and candles And each tired nickname ‘twas a new festive handle As children by now we’d be snuggled in bed But we now stay online and leave comments instead Sad Keanu is happy (well, well, fancy that!) And holly and ivy surround every Lolcat YouTube had...
