Martin: Hey, I just met you
Martin: And this is crazy
Martin: But m-my name is Captain Martin Crieff. Though that doesn’t matter. It’s all very informal here. Just call me Martin. Well, in- in the context of this meeting, anyway. If you actually see me in person it’s probably best that you do call me Captain Crieff. Or just captain. Just protocol, I’m afraid. Um, if it was up to me, you could call me… Marty... No, no, actually, no, no, let’s not confuse things. Definitely don’t ever call me Marty. Right. So. To recap: hello, I am Captain Martin Captain- Captain Crieff, Crieff, I mean!
Martin: Can I start again?

I remember reading somewhere that most laugh tracks were recorded in the 50’s and most of the people laughing in them are dead. which totally makes sense because no living person would laugh at the big bang theory.

life, in which Kasia is a total cray-cray party...
Ever since the legitimate journalist Samantha Brick published her not at all deluded article “‘There are downsides to looking this pretty’: Why women hate me for being beautiful” with the Daily Mail last month, I’ve been addicted to reading similarly terrible stories about an edible version of Princess Beatrice’s vagina-hat and Harry Styles parking his car.

WatchI’m often asked why I still go to mass at my Catholic church every Sunday. I’m an intelligent, liberal, young woman who prefers cursing to conversation (I kid, kinda); I should completely disregard something as traditional as Catholicism right?
Well, this is why. Some Catholics are total idiots (i.e. Paul Ryan), whilst others understand that a phrase like “redistribution of...

At the University College of North Wales at Bangor
Most of my students here are very poor.
I seldom see them in the pubs: they Cannot really afford the prices. As winter hits they have to decide whether To spend their shillings on the coin-operated heaters Or on food. I suspect that heat often wins—you can Freeze to death quicker than you will starve. Their incentive is that they will presumably Have more comfortable lives if they survive The...

goddammit I’m really enjoying Girls
I’m really upset that I understand this show. I shouldn’t relate to these girls who come from parents who have enough money to support them in New York City, but apparently that’s what I’ve become and I kind of hate myself for it (I mean my parents still wouldn’t be able to support me, but that’s not by choice, like...

“Props for spotting that I mispelled ‘the silmarillion’. Haha. No one would have noticed, but nooo, you have to unleash the geek :-)”
For anyone who is still unconvinced at my boiling-over levels of nerdiness, this is a text message I just got from a friend whose dissertation I edited tonight. I could not be more pleased with myself.

I just reblogged Gomez and then became aware of the fact that the Internet has no idea that I am into sports. Seriously, I am. Sometimes. A crash course (if you’re bored enough) under the jump.
(My cousin Melanie in her pink scarf and I supporting Karlsruher SC in Germany earlier this month.)
