But then something magical happened. We walked through an exhibit. Part of it was a kids bedroom (or part of the bedroom) back in the 90s. An All Black Poster featured Jonah Lomu, Christian Cullen and Tana Umaga, and another poster was advertising EA Sports's Cricket World Cup 1999 game, so the room must be from the late 90s. It had a desk, on which sat a couple of books. One was a Goosebumps (I remember those from my childhood). The other was a virigin reprint of Mawdryn Undead!!!!! Mawdryn Undead!!!!!!!!
Today some some of my pals and I went to the Museum (its the Auckland War Memorial Museum). I don't think they're Doctor Who fans :( When appropriate I used Doctor Who references (the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon, fezes are cool...) but they didn't recognise any of them.

The last month has been tough as I have battled against exams. The first, I've got A. It was a general biology paper, and the exam consisted evolution (simple) and biochem (very difficult). I thought a poor performance and the biochem section would take me down to A-/B+ level, but I guess I was conservative in my estimates. A+ is the grade of the second paper (New Zealand ecology). It had a couple of tricky questions but didn't pose too many problems. Geography was concerning. I was struggling with my studies for it, but an angel with amazing eyes appeared before my friend and told her what tends to appear which helped so that should be a good grade too. The stats paper had an impossible exam. Fortunately my test and assignment scores should be enough for me to pass the course.
But you don't wish to hear about my exams, do you? So I've returned here to beguile you with more adventures. The latest one involves the TARDIS going back to the USS Enterprise. Read it here. Oh, and there's a recipe for Cheese Baked Potatoes too :) Peace out! Hello to my small army of two headed mutations!
Monsters is a collection of artwork from 2012. I drew two monsters which students then coloured in, then they drew their own monster and coloured it in. All Black Dinosaur is the latest Dr Who tale, where he plays rugby for the All Blacks! I've had an interesting few days. Today there was a lab class. There was a pretty girl sitting beside me and her name was Clara. I nearly exploded. Alas, the way the class was divided into pairs she was partners with someone else. Still, I was place with a sweet Korean lass. One of my lecturers was featured in the newspaper on Monday. One of my friends was falling asleep in a biosci class. She kept on wobbling from side to side as she lost consciousness. I also watched the John Hurt 'Who do you think you are.' It showed that his great grandparents were first cousins. I don't think it's canon though. Maybe if it appeared in a recipe book it could be canon You can view a new Doctor Who story. From a Give a show slides from the 60s. The TARDIS team meet the Prehistoric Monster. Sounds neat.
Also, university has just restarted for the year, so new posts may be less frequent. But on the positive side, I got a new ID card today. My previous one was awful. They somehow managed to transfer my passport photo onto it. Big round glasses, a non-smile. I had recently had my haircut too. It was a ghastly image. One of my friends commented that I looked like a serial killer. My more recent passport photo was better as it didn't have the big glasses, but I shaved beforehand and didn't notice I had cut myself so there's a couple of blotches just underneath my chin. But if anyone asks, I just say that I like pro-wrestling sooooo much I decided to blade for my passport photo (not even the wildcard is that dedicated! Anyway, they took a new photo today. It's not too bad. I'm smiling so that's a positive. I wore a dalek shirt but the photo taker zoomed into the face so the dalek cannot be seen. So I just mentioned university. Are you wondering what I'm studying? Probably not, but I'll tell you anyway. I'm doing a Bachelor of Science. Majoring in Ecology and Environmental Science. I have already got a Bachelor or Arts in Japanese too. I completed that, waited a year (to experience the rugby world cup being hosted here in New Zealand) then tried to find employment in Japan. I wanted to go there to build on my language skills and become fluent enough to just it in a job. To get into Japan I would have to be teaching. I'm a shy Whoer so I flunked all the interviews. Eventually I accepted a teaching internship in China for five months, reasoning that it would look good on the CV and maybe get into Japan afterwards. I was substandard, though at the second school I was at I was ok. All in all I realised that teaching was not for me and that I probably wouldn't be able to get a job with my intermediate Japanese, so I returned to university to study So I recently watched The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. It's the second time I've seen it.
I enjoyed it. The first two parts were superb, but it drifted after that. The first time I saw it Sylv' clowning around in episode 4 was tiresome; but not today. Clowns are cool in a freaky way. So are circuses. That makes for one amazing setting for a Doctor Who serial. Sylvester and Sophie were at their usual high standard. Jess Martin looked great and gave a first class performance, as did Captain Cook and the Chief Clown. I liked the Ring Master's introductions. Great story (though this review is kinda awful) I have had a terrific day today. It's always a good day when you're healthy and alive. It was nice and sunny. Warm. Nice food and I bought The Moonbase, on DVD.
I have also uploaded the recipe for Tripe Casserole. Yum Yum. Now all you recipe book devotees should start cooking it! Happy days! Hidden in plain sight, who are these people? Rediscovered for the first time since the 1970s, Braised Hearts is proud to present the Lost Companions! The Lost Companions are the lost companions during the Pertwee era, once thought lost but fortunately they have been catalogued in the Jon Pertwee Recipe Book. Some so-called Doctor Who "experts" I have shown this discovery to have tried to discredit the validity of the companions, but since the Jon Pertwee Recipe Book is undoubtedly canon, it is definite that these companions are indeed part of the Doctor Who canon.
