I have always had the heart of a servant because the good deeds I do are often the only feelings of accomplishments I experience. I say “yes” and I do and I encourage and I help because all along the way, I get a tiny ounce of satisfaction… a momentary feeling or worth and purpose. Until—crash—the whole dynasty of devotion collapses and smothers me. I can’t stop helping, but it’s even harder to find the balance. Sometimes good intentions create the deepest wounds.
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day.
This is all I ask: something to banish the sadness.
(stanzas from Longfellow’s “The Day is Done”)
I feel so sad about the library every time I pass that section of Epcot’s Spaceship Earth.

“It’s got exceptional… well, everything!” «< Best explanation for loving Doctor Who! Well-said, kid!
Also, is there a GIF of Chris and the ear wiggle he does to answer what he brought to role of Doctor Who?

i couldnt find any really good pictures… but i was totally startled last night when watching shallow grave for the first time in like ten years at how freaking nerdy-hot christopher eccleston is in it! the hotness is really not captured here at all, but let me assure you its there. there were a few DAMN moments.
*eep. discovers she is severely lacking in Shallow Grave/David gifs…must remedy that*
OH GOD YES.
when he said that i was like… i would not be the least bit surprised. and pretty turned on, yeah.
[shallow grave stuff is so hard to find!!]
That’s one of my favorite lines, heh.
Yes, it is. Hence my plan to do something about it ;p Of course, most of them will be of Ecclesex
Shallow Grave is one of the few Eccleston movies I haven’t seen yet (curse you Netflix for denying me a movie with Chris AND Ewan McGregor!!). But these images remind me of Hipster Chris from Death and the Compass:

I’ve read a few reviews of Trainspotting that pigeonhole the movie as some commentary about drug culture, addiction, and AIDS among heroin users. But in my opinion, the drugs were just a piece of the exposition, a bit of prop in a grander story.
It’s a movie about choices. The image above has a paraphrased version of Renton’s (Ewan McGregor) opening monologue: http://youtu.be/dqWQNKnIBpE
Opportunities arise to get clean, and Renton tries more than once, but eventually rationalizes going back to the drugs. The intrigue for me was watching some of these characters make sound decisions for the “right” reasons—such as when Renton avoids sex with Diane after finding out she’s underage—and then completely abandoning that moral compass moments later.
Completely by chance, I just discovered that Christopher Eccleston was originally considered for Begbie. It’s a small, cinematic world.
Would Whedon write a movie about alien Jesus?
After watching the indescribable Cabin in the Woods with my best friend, we stood in the parking lot mumbling in amazement discussing the film. There was talk of the apocalypse and for some reason, she reference Jesus as being “only half human.”
Me: “Jesus was half alien, too.”
I began weaving a tale of Jesus (real alien name: Jeebus), the immortal man-alien who came to earth for 33 years to study human beings in order to assist in a future alien-led apocalypse. While the story goes that Jesus died on the cross, was put in a tomb, and resurrected during that time, the reality is that Jesus was put in the tomb and then teleported back to the mothership for three days to report his findings. I commented that this would make a great action flick. The movie posters should say: “Jesus: The alien who was, the alien who is, and the alien who is to come.”
My best friend’s response: “I’m worried about your soul. I’m going home to pray for you.”
I told her to tell the old man I said “hi” next time she talks to him, and she told me I needed to spend some one-on-one time with him. I responded with a sexual joke about God’s son.
God’s got a sense of humor, right? Right??
SERENITY PLUS DOCTOR WHO
THIS IS AMAZINGI AM DYING WITH WANT
This is the highest quality crossover trailer I’ve seen related to Doctor Who. I’m beyond impressed, and not just because it has Firefly.

Oh gaahhhh, it’s too good! It’s just too good!

Art’s great nudes have gone skinny
Italian artist Anna Utopia Giordano has created a visual re-imagination of historic nude paintings, had the subjects conformed their bodies to what the 21st century considers an ideal of beauty. The results are revealing—and quite shocking in what they say about the modern attitude toward women’s bodies.
Sadly, I look at some of the skinny versions and think, “Not skinny enough” or “too many curves” or “her boobs aren’t big enough.” A healthy, normal body is such a beautiful thing!
