September 22nd & 23rd, 2012: Power of Three

I would just like to say if a bunch of Black Cubes started randomly showing up I'm hoping that I would be one of the smart people who would get rid of them instead of making them into shiny paper weights.  Oh who am I kidding.  I would totally use them to build a sweet shiny fence or something.

If you have no idea what I am talking about then you most likely didn't watch Doctor Who this weekend and I can't blame you for that.  Not everyone watches it and that's ok.  For those of you who do, kudos to you!

This weeks episode was an interesting one.  I'm starting to like Rory's Dad more.  He was amusing in this episode and had me laughing at his silly antics.  Not silly as he was making jokes and that sort of thing.  He was making me laugh because of how serious he can be about the silliest things.  I mean the man sat in the TARDIS for four days staring at some cubes and thought nothing of it.

I am kind of curious if anyone else thinks that Rory's Dad might have a disability of some sort. Maybe it's just me and I'm not trying to make fun of people with disabilities by any means but the way he took the tasks he was given by the Doctor without any hesitation or questioning, and such diligence kind of made me think a bit more about him as a person.  I wanted to know more about him and what makes him act the way he does.  The fact it was hard for him to complete the task of getting something for Rory at the hospital (despite the two guys ganging up on him) and being super receptive to the whole alien thing.  If I remember correctly he didn't really seem that phased in the Dinosaurs episode (I still have to watch it more awake though).  He just seems like he might be a bit different and that isn't a bad thing.  I'm just curious about the character and how they wanted him portrayed.

I feel like I am rambling about him though and I'm not too sure I'm making much sense(been up all day doing Annie stuff and I'm pooped!).

Oh speaking of those two guys who attacked Rory's Dad...who I now realize I can't actually remember the name of.  Is his name Brian? I'll having to Google it.  Any way. The two guys.  Anyone else think they look like this guy?


Anyone? I thought maybe someone cross bred some Birdos with humans and the result was the two guys from this episode.

For those who know anything about Mario games and Birdo, I'm one of those who thinks Birdo is a dude that likes to pretend it is a she, or at least it is a gender neutral creature. On Wiki it says "Birdo thinks he is a girl and likes to be called Birdetta He likes to wear a bow on his head and shoot eggs from his mouth."  Which is apparently an exert from an instruction manual for Super Mario Bros. 2.  So I say all for the crazy gendered fictional beast.  You will be a dude in my heart forever.

Anyways. This was supposed to be about Doctor Who! I liked the episode.  The ending was a bit meh for me, but it was still good.  I'm interested in how they end this short little jaunt of episodes next weekend.

Oh and for those who don't watch Doctor Who.  I made an apple crisp this weekend in honor of the first day of Fall.  Well it was more like in honor of being in the store and craving apples hardcore and deciding apple crisp would be good.  So I made one.
I didn't get a picture of it before we had some...with ice cream of course.  I think it was a success.  Tasted good, smelled good, but one thing I might want to do next time is skin the apples.  I used Golden Delicious apples for the first time ever and the skin got a little bit chewy after baking.  I also would use some lemon juice on the apples to keep them from browning quickly.  They always look nicer after a few days with lemon juice on them because they don't brown as fast.  That was what I learned from making pies with my Mom and Grandma at least.  Alas, I had no lemon juice when I made this and did not think of it until it was too late.

I now have way too much oatmeal to know what to do with.  I'm thinking I need to make some "shit" cookies to use up some oatmeal. They are also known as no bake cookies for the child safe name.
