Ok y'all. The time has come. I'm not making much use of the blogger anymore, and I've been looking for quite some time now for an easier way to blog to all you lovely people. So, I've decided to relocate. You can now find Ramblings of a quoteaholic 2.0 at this address: finediversions.tumblr.com.
Hope to see you all there for a housewarming party. There'll be cake!

Emmy the Great
Just a note on what I CANNOT stop listening to at the moment. This woman's music is damn hypnotic. So worth a listen.
Much love. x

Why so blue panda bear?
My little brother called me out of the blue the other day. I say 'out of the blue' because, as close as I am to my brother and as much as it sucks us being away from each other 9 months out of the year, he sticks to younger brother tradition and is RUBBISH at keeping in touch. Anyway, he's been having a hard time of it lately and needed something(s) to distract him. "Soph," he said to me over Skype, "do you know of any videos I should watch [on YouTube]?" He realized pretty soon afterwards that this was a silly question– it was me he was talking to. I told him to find me on the yoooootooob, because I 'favourite' stuff pretty much every day. The majority of it with the Soph guarantee of being able to lift you up when you're down. Let me list some of them for you now.
1. A Daily Show classic that has Stephen Colbert breaking character:
2. A great joke from a great only-famous-in-England-but-American comedian.
3. Reginald D Hunter should rule the world. And I would kill for this little factoid to be true.
4. An audio clip from the AMAZING radio show Comedy Death Ray. How could you not feel better after knowing that you don't have all these illnesses?
5. Surely if someone told you you were a buffet of manliness you'd feel better, right?
6. Ronni Ancona does the best Audrey Hepburn impression EVER.
7. Absolute gem. If this doesn't make you smile there's something wrong with you.
8. Watch Tina Fey's muppet impression.
9. I would really like to be in this movie.
10. A little nugget of Adam Buxton gold
11. Sean Hayes singing anything is pretty great, but a Streisand song just makes it perrrfect.
Dontcha feel cheerier? I knew it.
Much love. x

Frack me.
I think I'm turning into a sci-fi nerd. I've always said that Doctor Who was my one guilty pleasure when it came to that genre. Then I included Torchwood. Then some Joss Whedon stuff (currently rekindling my love for Buffy, and, more specifically, Spike). Then Battlestar Galactica. Now I'm about to catch up on BSG's spin-off Caprica. I think I'm going to use the excuse of it all being hilariously funny. Yeah. That's the ticket.
Anyway, I FINALLY got through to the end of Battlestar Galactica last week. I was so sad when it came to an end. But, to celebrate the completion of the series, here's a little vid for BSG fans.

Matt Smith
Three episodes of the new series of Doctor Who have aired now, and I now feel able to pass judgment on Matt Smith, the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor.
I was SUCH a huge fan of David Tennant as the Doctor, and so I seriously skeptical when Matt Smith appeared on the screens at the end of the last special. After three episodes, I can say that, ultimately, I'm a fan. Having said that, however, I have some reservations. Firstly, Matt Smith is six years older than me. Only six. He is on record the youngest actor ever to play the Doctor. I've been watching Doctor Who ever since I was a wee nipper, and now that I'm 22, I still want the Doctor to be a slightly older (at least in his early 30s) protective figure. I'm used to looking at him as a peer or contemporary
I do also feel that Matt Smith and the producers of the show are playing it a little safe in the Doctor's new character. It's similar to David Tennant's in his quirkiness and eccentricities. When Christopher Eccleston turned into David Tennant, his character completely morphed as well (I could compare it to other Doctors, such as Tom Baker turning into Peter Davison, but seeing as this is more current it seems more appropriate). Because Tennant was such a success, it seems like the show is trying to retain viewers by having the Doctor be relatively unchanged personality-wise.
I really hope that throughout the series Matt Smith is able to come out a bit more and step out of his predecessor's shadow. You know, now that I've gotten over losing my favourite Doctor.
Here with the new companion Amy Pond (played by Karen Gillian– I like her). Definitely a fan of the Doctor's new get-up.
