Hanorah Words

Urgh... So... I really like Doctor Who . I really, really do love Doctor Who . I also really liked David Tennant's portrayal of the Doctor. Heck, every portrayal of the Doctor I've seen thus far has left me pretty happy. It's hard for me to dislike the Doctor, in fact.  However, I do have one problem with the Doctor, ESPECIALLY DAVID TENNANT'S... and that is, his behavior towards guns. I think this is mostly due to my background. I come from a family of hunters and from a very young age, I was basically taught how to handle and fire a variety of firearms as well as safety rules behind such things. If you broke the safety rules in my family, you were banned from touching all of the firearms and the other kids in the family made fun of you while they got to shoot at the pop cans.  In short, to me a gun is just like any other weapon: a knife, a bow and arrow, a sword, a tazer, your own hands . Yes, they are dangerous. Very dangerous, but they are also dead useful

Well, a lot of things have been going on with me lately that have really slowed things down a bit as far as posting goes. Mostly, I've developed... a social life. True, it's mostly friends from work, but I do other things outside of work as well, like Aikido... and that's about it for now. I'm still working on 50 Shades of Blue, the first draft this week, but it's going slower than expected to start writing it. I was trying to write it in First-Person Point of View, but I wasn't doing so well like that. I'm really quite terrible in first person. I'm going to revert to Third-Person-Singular and see if that helps me with my writing process better. I think I'm just more comfortable with that writing style. I certainly  can't do the Hunger Games style because that's just crazy. And it highlighted how stupid Katniss was. In addition, I am watching Legends of Korra , when the season ends, I'll do my review of that. I'm also

So, I sort of gave my ideas for the basic plot in a previous post. This week, I was supposed to hammer down the plot. Well, this creates a bit of a problem because my writing process usually leaves me with having a bit more mystery in where a story is headed or how it's going to get there. In equal measure, I'm not about to give the total plot away to any potential readers because then nobody  would read my book. It would just ruin everything unless all the readers are people like me who like to know what's going to happen in a story so they can concentrate more on the elements of the story most people don't pay attention to like the author's ability to depict solid characters, pacing, setting, and the journey to the conclusion in general. Not many people out there do that, though. Or... only a few people I've met in person at any rate. Actually, I think that's a writer thing. When your brain comes up with its own stories, it's fun to look at storie

WARNING: SPOILERS!!! If you haven't seen Series 6 of the New Series of Doctor Who , I want you to get out and go play catch up or live your life. If you read this, I'll... be very upset and imagine ways to kill you. So, I just woke up maybe fifteen minutes to a half an hour ago. This is important for this whole Fridge Logic Post thing because I haven't had my morning tea yet and that really counts for a lot of my brain's higher functions before ten in the morning. Anyhow! I was trying to get back to sleep and thinking about Doctor Who  because, well... That's what I do. I'm Hanorah. Haven't you read my blog? You're reading it now. Well, I was thinking about the New Series companions and why they don't work for me... anymore.  When I first started watching Doctor Who , the series was still on Scifi (and it was still called Scifi) and the show itself was between Series Three and Series Four. I literally caught up in the time between seasons wh

Name: Finneas Wright Full Name: Fineas Gethin Wright Nick Names: Fin, Finny Wright, Ass Wright, Gethy... Gender: Male Age: 37 Birthday/year: September 23, 5139 C.E. (Gregorian Calender) Marital Status: Single Spouse: N/A Hair : Thick, dark brown that curls quite a bit. Fin generally keeps it clipped very short or even shaves it to keep it out of his way and convenient Eyes: Fineas has brown eyes, but his left eye has a hetero-chromia where about 1/3 of the lower left section of his left eye is baby blue. His eyes also have a slightly Asiatic shape to them. Origin: Fin was born on the planet, Alpha Kepler which revolves around a star people on Earth can see in the constellation, Cygnus, in the country of Daquaia. His country was among those bought and planned for refugees on Earth from religious wars. His great-great grandfather had to sign a contract to agree to uphold the laws of religious tolerance. The particular Daquaian city Fin grew up in was cal

Not a very impressive box... I recently had an opportunity to try out Rosetta Stone and out of all the languages I got to choose, I've chosen Japanese. I actually get to pick two, but I'm starting with Japanese for now because Cyn wanted Japanese, Norwegian wasn't on the list, and I'm currently taking Aikido classes so knowing Japanese may be helpful. There's also this thing where Netflix is acting up and I can't watch anime with English subtitles on the TV in the front room. So! A lot of reasons to dive in an try to learn Japanese! There's just one problem. I'm sure that Rosetta Stone works great for everyone else, but I'm having a lot of trouble catching on to what they're wanting me to figure out at times... and I'm still in Unit 1 of Level 1. True, I'm up to Lesson 3, but it's still Unit 1, Level 1. Maybe Japanese is just a hard language. I've got to learn everything  regarding it. I have to learn a new writing syst

Character Name : Tess Cygnus Full Name : Tesni Louise Cygnus Nick Names : Tess, Tessie Gender : Female Age : 18/19 Birthday/year : February 2, 1989 Marital Status : Single Spouse : N/A Hair : Tess has long, medium brown hair with some teal and pink highlights. It's a little bit wavy and can get frizzy in humid weather, but usually she just keeps it in a ponytail or a loose bun anyhow. Eyes : Tess has hazel eyes which are a little more brown than green. Origin : Tess was raised near Stanton, Kentucky until her mother died of cancer. Then she moved in with her grandparents in Dayton, Ohio for her last two years of high school and first year of college. Language: Tess is a bit of a polyglot. She picks up language and people's pattern of speaking very easily. Her main two languages are English and a language she and her mother spoke which was a sort of bastardized version of English with touches of many other languages mixed in which is actually from thousan

I couldn't find a good DVD cover... So I used this instead. Enjoy! So... four serials ago, we had the Cybermen introduced as villains. And now... we have the Cybermen redesigned and appearing as villains again! Part of me wonders how they're bringing them back and if this is going to be a plot thread throughout the season because that would be pretty cool if seasons started to have arcs. However, I'm not keeping my hopes up because... well, this is  following The Underwater Menace . That episode has really lowered my Doctor Who expectations a lot. Especially after that really stupid Dalek episode. I mean, I have only liked on Doctor Who episode so far... and it was historical. However, this could also come from the fact that, in the modern series, I really don't like the Cybermen as villains. They just fall flat for me... until Series Seven when they actually got a bit scary with their ability to convert you via nanotechnology. So... maybe this will get better e

Anyone else getting an Atlantis: The Lost Empire vibe? I was a HUGE Avatar: The Last Airbender  fan. It was really weird too, because initially I was wary of it. I am pretty sure I saw the episode called "The King of Omashu" first and then other episodes following that by accident while flipping through channels on Nickelodeon when the series first started and I just wasn't impressed. Actually, I saw "The King of Omashu" and then "The Waterbending Scroll" and then "Jet" randomly on three different occasions and I just wasn't impressed. I just found the whole thing somewhat predictable and childish and I just didn't like it. It all changed when I was bored and they were having a marathon and the two episodes that changed my view of the show most were "The Storm" and "The Blue Spirit". I'm serious, I went from feeling very mild about the show to having a bunch of interest and did everything I could to figu

That guy in the corner looks like the creature I saw the last time I got really  drunk. The Underwater Menace  is the fifth serial of the fourth episode of Doctor Who and it is half-missing. The episodes originally aired between January 14 and February 4, 1967. This is Jamie's first journey in the TARDIS so hopefully we'll get his reactin to being in a time-travelling spaceship. Otherwise, I really don't have much hope for this episode. When I was looking up the picture to use above, there were a lot of production stills with very hokey-looking monsters. And this is apparently one of three episodes containing three completely different explanations for the sinking of Atlantis so... if they had to explain it two more times , it must not be great or memorable. Maybe I'll be surprised. Two Hours Later... Sooo.... Doctor Who  has a formula and I'm ashamed it took me this long to see it. Basically, Doctor and company show up somewhere where things are ab

So, I think I'm mostly going to stick with some things from the Brainstorm. Mainly these key points: In the year 5,000 space and time travel is possible. Space travel at near light speeds is common using an as-of-yet undiscovered fuel derived from plants. They rich, academics, criminals and police also have time travel which is possible through wormholes. The police who monitor time are actually called The Coalition... or something and they monitor time crime and are actually manipulating the past subtly to have control over the present and the future. They generally recruit the children of time travelers born in other times to work for them. Children born of time travelers in the past have unique properties. Mainly they can see ripple effects from changes in the timeline and they can remember the  original  timeline before time travel entered the picture. This is quite rough on them and most are declared schizophrenic at an early age because if they grow up in the time they

I'm quite familiar with the Teen Fiction Genre... ... I really am! .... I swear! Okay, so I haven't really enjoyed reading  anything from the Teen Fiction genre that's been written and published in probably the past three to five years. It's not for a lack of trying, however. I really wanted  to see what everyone liked about Twilight . I really did! I couldn't read the book because... well, the first chapter left me wanting to read a book about characters I actually like (also why I can't read Nora Roberts despite my grandmother's best efforts to find something of hers I'd enjoy), but I did listen to is on tape and I will admit, there were a few parts that made me sort of see why people might enjoy it a bit. Okay, basically anything between Bella and Edward or Bella and Jacob made me want to remove my eyes with a sport and shove pens in my ears as far as they would go, but there was a line of spoken dialogue or two that genuinely amused me..

I wonder if the Doctor kidnaps Jamie like he has most of his companions... The Highlanders  is the fourth serial of Season Four which is also missing in its entirety like most of the Troughton years. This is unfortunate because Patrick Troughton is a lot of people's favorite Doctor and it'd be easier to see why  if I got to see him... you know... act . Anyhow, beisdes my frustration with this who thing, the serial was aired in four parts between December 17, 1966 and January 7, 1967. This is also the first episode featuring Jamie McCrimmon played by Frazer Hines who is actually the companion to appear in the most episodes of Doctor Who  to date. That is 116 episodes, folks. So... I'm going to be watching very closely to see just what kind of a companion he is and how other companions measure up to him . Seniority is good, Barbara and Ian will always be in my heart. However, this guy probably had the most experience and that's something to keep in mind. Anyhow,
