Plot twist: The next companion is a normal girl/boy who only dies once in their lifetime and has no remarkable back story but he thinks they’re wonderful because they are human and the Doctor needs reminding that you don’t need to be a mystery to be remarkable.
#and the doctor never has to kiss them or sexualize them at all #in fact they are not even attracted to the doctor
so basically we want Donna back
On the one hand, yes.
On the other hand, that makes it sound bad, like we only get one and that’s it.

Thought process:
*reads chalkboards*
What books are in that pile?
Ooh, Jasper Fforde. Which one?
Oh, Shades of Grey. I love Shades of Grey. Nice and worldbuild-y.
Only then did I see the “no, that’s not Fifty Shades of Grey, check the author”. Guess I must not be the intended audience of said fine print.

GeoGuessr - Let's explore the world! -
Okay, this is a really entertaining game - it drops you at a random location in Google Street View and has you guess where you are based on your surroundings.
The ones I get right are either the ones with shop names in, so I can see the language, or the ones with distinctive geological features. (Where by “feature” I mean “type of bedrock as indicated by hill shape and/or visible outcrop”. ^_^ Quick, everybody act surprised.)
Ooh. All the sleuthy fun of Mapcrunch, but much shorter rounds and official score-keeping (though I’m not sure quite how they convert crow-flight distance to points).

Ozy’s Tumblr Thing: brin-bellway: sloth-with-a-blog: thatpsychowriter: For all of you who…
For all of you who are worried that there might be secret mind readers in the room just try MENTALLY SCREAMING and if anyone jumps or flinches, you know
you really live up to your url
So, are most people capable of…
I never thought that some people might not think in words…
LOOK AT THIS THING MY BOYFRIEND WROTE
IT EXPLAINS THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO THINK IN PICTURES AND SOME PEOPLE WHO THINK IN WORDS
It does? It definitely says that there are some people who have very detailed mind’s eyes and some who lack them entirely (and a lot in-between), which is only almost the same thing. (I certainly can visualise and often do, but if asked if I think primarily in pictures or words I would probably say words, and visualisation is the first thing to go under the least amount of stress*.)
*Defined for this purpose as “deviation from routine events”. (While they are often enjoyable deviations and routine events can be stressful (in a way that doesn’t cause this), “stress” still seems like the most appropriate word.)
For all of you who are worried that there might be secret mind readers in the room just try MENTALLY SCREAMING and if anyone jumps or flinches, you know
you really live up to your url
So, are most people capable of thinking loudly, or are we just ignoring that it’s impossible to think loudly for the sake of the joke? (Neither possibility would surprise me.)

1. Bring on the Dancing Horses (Extended Mix) - Echo and the Bunnymen
I have no idea what this means for the story other than that the opening credits are probably going to be very arty and involve zombie horses somehow.
2. I Wanna Hold Your Hand - The Beatles
I figure this means the scene involves the hero ripping a zombie’s hand off. This suggests it’s your more campy/humorous sort of zombie film.
3. The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
Continuing with the camp theme.. I really want this to be the song the heroine sings to her girlfriend while they’re running from zombies, as a sort of encouragement/we can get through this thing. (Yes, I have randomly decided this is a musical. With lesbians. Shut up.)
4. Never Gonna Happen - Lily Allen
The song the girlfriend sings to the heroine after she gets bitten to convince the heroine to shoot her. It’s about not really loving the person you just fucked; the girlfriend wants to make the heroine hate her so that the heroine doesn’t feel sad.
5. Whatever Happened to Saturday Night by The Rocky Horror Picture Show (25th Anniversary Cast)
In which the survivors throw a WILD PARTY to celebrate still being alive despite the apocalypse… and outside the zombies gather.
6. Dumb, by Nirvana
Okay look at the lyrics for this song it actually works really well as a love song between the heroine and her NEW GIRLFRIEND, where the heroine is trying to reject the new girlfriend and the new girlfriend is Not Taking It. “I’m not like them” “but I can pretend” “The sun is gone” “but I have a light” “the day is done” “But I’m having fun” “I think I’m dumb” “Maybe just happy” “I think I’m happy”
and then they kiss
7. Should I Stay or Should I Go, the Clash
… Okay this is a brilliant final stand song JUST SAYING
8. A Letter to Elise, the Cure
We’ve survived it all and it’s time for ROMANTIC ANGST about how both the heroine and New Girlfriend are way too broken to sustain a relationship. New girlfriend = Elise, of course.
9. Don’t You (Forget About Me), Simple Minds
…again, this is really obviously applicable to discovering a bite mark. “Just… please don’t forget about me once I die.”
10. Fur Elise, Trans Siberian Orchestra
…I swear they did that on purpose.
1: Fall from Grace - Stevie Nicks
Interesting.
2: Inside Out - Phil Collins
…interesting.
3: Just Another Story - Phil Collins
No.
4: Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Yes. (First I ran to you/Now I run from you…)
5: Vienna - Billy Joel
“Vienna” here means (I think) “place you can go when you are an Independent Adult who has an Independent Adult Life”. Seeing as how my parents are probably dead by this point…
6: Ice Dragons - Noe Venable
…okay?
7: Driving Me Crazy - Phil Collins
The song that plays over my final stand is Phil Collins doing a stalker song? Who wrote this soundtrack? (Oh, right, random chance.)
8: Sometimes a Fantasy - Billy Joel
The title would suggest a dying delirium or that the former minds of zombies are trapped within dream-worlds while their bodies go about their brain-eating business. The lyrics…just don’t fit.
9: Bad Loser - Fleetwood Mac
From the zombies’ point of view?
10: Wake Up Call - Phil Collins
Also from the zombies’ point of view (sort of like this), and a nicely twisted interpretation that I will probably think of whenever I hear the song from now on.
(Phil Collins’s solo work only comprises about 11% of my shuffle playlist. One of them should be Genesis instead, and there should have been more from the bunch of artists for whom I don’t have most of the discography, not just “Tainted Love” and “Ice Dragons”.)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/d9c463cfdb34f47216e958e354aba7ee/tumblr_mmdv0olUeK1ruhaj4o1_500.jpg)
