Is thinking a thought experiment?

If I could make Chewbacca noises, that's what I'd be doing right now. My brain is on overload with revising for TMA09. At the moment I am reading through the Rousseau philosophy stuff, though I will have to reread the philosophy from block 1. I have decided that I will get it done tomorrow night, once Principessa is asleep. I want it done and out of the way before next week. That way I can concentrate on TMA08, which I am dreading. I'm not looking forward to wading through Mr Marwick's verbose history of the 60s.

Speaking of Principessa... She is driving me crazy lately, answering back all the time. She has decided that being told off is a request, and will shout 'No thanks' at me when I do tell her off. It would be funny if it wasn't infuriating! If that's not enough, she is becoming really handy with her fists if she doesn't get her own way. Argh! I just don't know what to do. She is getting far too strong for me, every day seems like a constant struggle!

Ah well. I suppose I'd better get back to the revision instead of looking through my new sumi-e books. Ooohh, it looks all so interesting, and so relaxing, that I can't wait to get started on it. But I have to. I need to get this humanities course wrapped up before I stress out! But what I'd like to know is why someone was searching the internet for 'Myra Hindley in a leather skirt'? Very intriguing. (How do I know that someone was searching for this? Well, it came up in the feedburner stats this morning. The search pointed to my blog from comments made at this post.)

All the bees have disappeared?

No, this is not a reference to actual bees disappearing. This is the Doctor Who quote that is buzzing all over the net. I've noticed loads of it around, and people have latched onto it and are speculating what it could mean for the series. Well, I thought I'd add my tuppence worth.

I've seen some pictures for this year's Christmas special, so my thoughts are (whited out below so I don't spoil anything for others! If you want to read it, highlight the section):

In a Patrick Troughton episode (The Tomb Of The Cybermen), one of the characters (a German named Klieg) describes cybermen "like bees in a giant honeycomb, awaiting for a signal to awake from their winter sleep." Could the bees disappearing be a reference to this? Also, it has been said that David Morrissey might be playing the part of the first Doctor, but I reckon he looks more like the second Doctor. If so, it would give the bees thing even more weight.

Well, that's my Doctor Who speculation over with for now. The fourth series, after its poor start, is going well. The episodes have been much more enjoyable, and the last episode with the Oods was really good. I still think the Oods resemble a cross between Cthulhu and Bela Lugosi's Dracula though!

Right, enough DW. I had a look at my Feedburner account before and saw one of the best searches ever that led to my blog:

• dave mckean please help me on writing

I am so sad (in the geeky way, that is), I think this is great. If only Dave McKean would teach me to draw! I think I would ask Neil Gaiman or Michael Marshall Smith or Brian Lumley for help with writing though.
