Hello. Here are some random things.
Turn Left
A number of Doctor Who scripts by Russell T. Davies are available for download here. [via The Writer's Tale]
Theatre, Not TV
Adrian Pang is leaving MediaCorp to focus on his efforts in theatre. [via The Straits Times] I suppose this means I should forget about that idea of writing a drama series with him as my lead.
The (Not-So-)Quick Brown Fox
Jumps over the (not-so-)lazy dog.
Unnamed
“There are two poles — one says we’re just this machine, and the other says, what a piece of work is man. I did not want to come down on one side or the other. It’s possible that this poor guy, with enough research and enough time, could have solved his problem — but essentially, the mystery at the heart of his entire being can never be solved.”
Joshua Ferris talks about his new book, The Unnamed. [via The Barnes & Noble Review]

Better today I’m sure.
Closure
The week slowly draws to a close. (Yeah, sure, it’s only Wednesday.) Projects, tests, et cetera, all going by in the blink of an eye. Still got a presentation tomorrow to prepare for, but that’s all the fight the week has left.
Wasn’t too long ago it was Week 1 and it was all work and no play. It’s been a pretty interesting semester, if nothing else, and I’m actually a little relieved to be at the end of it.
Distractions
It is with much embarrassment that I tell you about my waterbottle accident yesterday. While filling a waterbottle for my friend yesterday, I got rather distracted and for some reason thought it was a good idea to switch over to hot water. That wasn’t such a bad idea except for the fact that the bottle was metal. Realising the error in my ways far too late, I shifted my hand away in a reflex action that caused my left index finger to be slightly scalded.
Hey, could’ve been worse, but you know, think before you do things, no matter how distracted you are. Just in case anyone else wants to lose an index finger too.
(And no, it’s kind of all right now.)
Budget
Yesterday, my dad’s birthday present arrived, a black, supposedly limited edition Crumpler to replace his old one. It reminded me of how much I’ve been spending recently.
My Decemberists record hasn’t arrived (and if it still doesn’t arrive, I’m going to have to check it out). I also bought a few books, and these have set me back quite a bit already. I had the intention of buying a couple of games, but that has since dropped to just one game, which I suppose makes my wallet feel a bit better.
Still, all things considered, not doing too badly. It’ll also depend on how the holidays pan out…
Doctor Who Things
If I said I was going to write about chipmunks, I’d spend the next six months being made president of the Chipmunks Society and would have chipmunks turning up at my door, saying, “Can we have work?”
Russell T. Davies and David Tennant talk about leaving the show.
