yubsieHad an exam today. It was hard, but that course is notorious for its hard exam, so it's not like we were blindsided. It was just a very... interesting bunch of data to work through. So that's done with. :p
The Aida concept album is WEIRD. Instead of doing the usual thing and getting a bunch of musical types to record the music for the show in a way that it might be staged (though of course things usually end up changing between the concept album and the stage show. See: La Faute de Voltaire :p), it's a bunch of popstars. Not even obscure ones. It has Elton John (okay, he WROTE the thing, so that's not a surprise but...) LeAnn Rimes, Boyz II Men, Lulu, James Taylor, Shania Twain, Dru Hill, Sting, Tina Turner and...
I kid you not...
THE SPICE GIRLS. SO WEIRD.
Finally, I watched Remembrance of the Daleks today. It was great fun. I really like Seven and Ace. Seven's not QUITE as awesome as Four or Ten, but he's definitely up there. Ace can compete with Martha, though I doubt anyone will ever beat out Sarah Jane for my favourite companion. :p
The theme song from that era, on the other hand, I am not so in love with. Just because you have a synthesizer doesn't mean you should USE it. Basically it's very Y HALO THAR EIGHTIES! :p
Okay, first of all "Ace, hand me some of that Nitro 9 you're not carrying"= so much love. :p
I squeed a little at Coal Hill High School. Is that bad? :p And I love that the book on the French Revolution was still there. :p
Ace TOTALLY slept with Mike. Shame he turned out to suck. :p
I love how unapologetically bad the effects are. All the alien technology wiring is CHRISTMAS LIGHTS! And the Dalek screwer upper shoots confetti!
"Unlimited rice pudding!" :D
But the highlight of the episode...
It's 1963.
Ace turned on the telly.
And there's a message "Now stay tuned for a new adventure on the BBC's science fiction program Doctor..."
Cue me almost dropping my laptop because I'm laughing so hard. :p
So in conclusion, WIN. :p
