Just a post to keep track of the series I have to watch and the series that I've already watched this year (might extend it to books, films... we'll see).

PS: And YES it looks a lot like a year post but I still haven't officially decided that I want to make one so for the moment it'll just be my "sticky-non-official-and-not-quite-like-a-year-post-but-almost entry"
( Tell me if you think there's something I should add to the list )

It feels like everything's already been said but I had promised I would review the five episodes:
( Part V )

  Have not been able to resist the tentation. Have watched the episode at 1 in the morning so here's my review (yes, I'm at work, why? ^^) 

( Part III )

I know you Brits already have had the chance to watch the third episode but I haven't and so I'm gonna write my thoughts about Part II while waiting for the torrent ^^
( Part II )

Also, I am SO TIRED! Torchwood forces me to go to bed very late and so I am now officially DED OT TORCHWUD >_<

Edit: if you've watched the Second Part, just go and read this macro XD

God I'm such a geek!! Because of the Torchwood week I completely forgot to tell you that I passed my exams! :D I got the news yesterday morning and eventhough it wasn't really a surprise (what with the strike in the French universities and all...) I'm still very pleased to announce that I now have a bachelor's degree in British literature and civilisation as well as 2 years of Swedish studies "validated".

nerdy!foui is very nerdy... ^^

I made a promise to myself that I would try to post everyday during the Torchwood week so:


( Part I (spoilers, obviously). )

   Also, for those who don't live in the UK and so have to download the episodes, here are some advice: first, you have to wait until midnight to have a hope of finding torrents (French time). Then I'd advise you to look on Twitter. I searched for the words "Torchwood" + "torrent", refreshed my page every 2 minutes or so and found a link pretty quickly. The first website to list a torrent was www.mininova.com but the download was very slow. Still, it was one of the fastest. Anyway, like I did yesterday, I'll post a link on my Twitter as soon as I find a torrent and I'll be watching you all guys in case you find one before me ^^ For those who don't know, I'm @hey_banane on Twitter.

   Also, I wanted to thank you flist! I had to wait until 1 A.M. to watch the episode but none of you posted any spoilers. Everything was neatly put behind cuts so thank you very much you nice, caring flist! ^^

Just realized that I haven't updated in a while!

Which is weird since... I'M ON HOLIDAYS! ^^ Well, not really since I have to work and earn money to pay for my year in Edinburgh but still... Results for my exams: the 6th of July. I'm pretty confident but also a little bit anxious because if I do pass, it'll mean that I finally get my degree! Yeeeeha! Good times!
In my search for a job I also discovered the French job center and it's one of the least organized places on Earth -_- Bad times...

SO! Fandom stuff!
Has anyone listened to the Torchwood radio plays? The first one was pretty boring... I mean, it was still good to get a bit of Torchwood and it wasn't even really bad but the second one was sooo much better. Torchwood India! How cool is that!
It also means that Torchweek is approaching! :D I don't really want to watch the first episodes alone so if anyone wants to watch them with me... 
BUT I'm not sure I want to watch the fifth one with other people in the room. Seriously, I'm a complete and utter wimp! If you can't stand people crying for fictionnal characters just run away...

Also, the BEST F*CKING thing that happened to the Torchwood fandom has reavealed her identity!! I am sad because that means ask_captainjack  will never post again or shoot things in the face but you gotta admit that this girl is a genius! She proved that some people don't take fandom too seriously and can have an awesome sense of humour about their favorite show's worst flaws.
If you've never heard about this journal, seriously just go and read it. It'll brighten your day and more importantly, teach you life and how to get laid on a regular basis ^^


I took advantage of the few days I've had between university and work to catch up on Kings. This show's amazing but I'll try to make a more complete post after having watched the first season.

Oh and I finally have a date for Edinburgh!! I''ll be leaving Paris around the 10th of september (give or take). Ooooo scary! But exciting! ^^ (that also means that I'll be watching David Tennant's last episode live on the BBC!! ^^ And yes, my real life is closely connected to fandom :P)

Wow that was random...

Sorry I'm going to write in French but I've just got to let some steam out about the strike  taking place in French universities (like, REALLY).

Ce matin, j'ai fais partie de ceux qui ont essayé de bloquer l'université. Ce blocage avait été voté en Assemblée Générale à laquelle TOUS les étudiants, professeurs et personnels administratifs étaient conviés. Evidemment, seuls les étudiants mobilisés se soint pointés et le blocage a été voté. Je DETESTE les blocages. Pour moi, ce doit être le tout derniers recours quand la grève traîne en longueur. Mais ceux qui ne se sont pas pointés à l'A.G. n'ont PAS le droit de se plaindre du résultat du vote. On vit en société, bordel! J'en connais qui ont dormi au collège pendant les cours sur Athènes et la démocratie.
Si vous appreniez que quelqu'un n'a pas voté aux éléctions présidentielles, vous penseriez qu'il n'a pas le droit de se plaindre qu'on se retrouve avec Sarko pendant 4 ans, nan? Eh bien là c'est pareil. Ces gens-là veulent vivre en totale autarcie, se préoccupent de leur petit diplôme, de leur petit semestre sans essayer une seule seconde d'avoir une vision à long terme.

Et par pitié, ne me sortez pas l'excuse des pauvres étudiants boursiers (nombre d'entre eux sont mobilisés) car ils ont bien compris que si cette loi passe et que les universités sont privatisées, AUCUNE bourse ne leur permettra plus de pouvoir payer une année d'étude à la Sorbonne. Alors certes, ils risquent leur semestre mais c'est miniscule à côté du risque de que représente cette loi et qui fera qu'ils n'auront très certainement jamais les moyens d'envoyer leur enfant à l'université.

Et pour la dernière fois, arrêtez de me dire que je fais la grève car je suis une feignasse qui n'aime pas bosser. Je suis en double licence, j'ai obtenu les derniers semestres de mes deux licences avec mentions, je fais partie d'une association étudiante qui accueille le étudiants étrangers qui arrivent à Paris et je me lève à 7h tous les matins depuis 3 semaines pour le comité de mobilisation. Si j'avais cours, je n'aurai que 25h de cours par semaine et ne me lèverai jamais avant 9h.

Encore une fois, je suis loin de faire partie des extrémistes, ce matin était mon premier blocage depuis plusieurs années (et ma folle jeunesse dans un lycée de ZEP...) mais je reste persuadée que n'importe quelle personne qui ferait l'effort de serait-ce que ne s'informer sur ce qui se passe serait outrée de voir le comportement des CRS à l'égard de la population et ce que contient cette fameuse réforme.

Si cette loi passe et que dans 10, 20 ans vous n'avez pas les moyen de payer des études de vos gamins, ne venez surtout pas vous plaindre, vous en avez perdu le droit en pensant à votre semestre plutôt qu'à l'avenir de l'université et de la recherche en France.

Je précise également qu'en me mobilisant avant la fin de ma licence, je remets mon Erasmus en jeu.

PUTAIN CA VA MIEUX!

PS: ce message n'est dirigé contre personne. J'ai des amis non-mobilisés que je ne juge absolument pas. C'est juste que les 3 semaines de fatigue, les insultes et les coups commencent à peser sérieusement. J'aurai sûrement un avis plus modéré une fois calme et reposée. Quoi que... on n'est jamais qu'une bande de bolchéviques.

If, like me, you only use Twitter to stalk celebrities then I advise you to use this site: http://celebswhotwitter.com/
They're trying to make a list of all the celebrities who Twitter and also to find the fakes. Useful!

Edit: Oh and I also advise you to follow Hal Sparks (http://twitter.com/HalSparks you know, Michael from Queer as Folk) and Jimmy Carr (http://twitter.com/jimmycarr) because their tweets are cool! :)

There's a blog I've been reading for weeks and I don't know why I haven't talked about it before. No need for explanations, just follow the link: http://www.sexypeople-blog.com/

I've just received THE mail I had been waiting for WEEKS!

It's a mail from my university telling me that my application for the Erasmus program has been accepted! Heeee!!!! :D That means I'll be spending next year in Scotland (Edinburgh to be precise) to work on a mémoire about the BBC! Re- :D

Now I just really hope that my friend's application (who's applied for the same program) will be accepted too because I don't really want to be alone in Edinburgh :/

Oh well, half of the work's done! I'm going to keep on celebrating alone in my room waiting for my friend's message ^^

I've got my tickets for the Kaamelott night! \o/ I'll be going with my sister (she's only 13 but already has great taste ^^) and a friend (who's like the Yvain to my Gauvain ^^). So, who's coming?

( For those who haven't seen the poster yet )

My sister's bought some FIMO clay and so I spent the evening making a K9 necklace and a pair of TARDIS earrings. I am fully aware that I should really feel ashamed but I'm too busy playing with my new toys for the moment.

( Modern art at its very best )

Haha, looks like I'm in a spamming mood! ^^

Someone just sent me this:

( We’ll go shim-shim shammey And get whimsy and get whammy! ^^ )

O_o Am I the only one who sees this video for the first time? Of course, just like every good Ark-fan, I already knew the Fearless Music Studio videos and completely worship them but I had never seen the "One of us..." one!
Hey hey! Maybe another good surprise will pop up soon, who nows ^^
