misscamZidane wins best player award
As I feel the slight irony of it, I notice a line at the end proclaiming; And semi-finalists Portugal won Fifa's most entertaining team award.
PORTUGAL?! I suppose that depends on how you define "entertaining" and whether or not you mean football-play-wise or dramaqueen-wise or look-at-how-may-cards-we-can-get-in-one-game-wise, but... Oh, man. Portugal???
... PORTUGAL?!
Meanwhile, Aussies are wanking over Italy's WC win
Others wank elsewhere
And an Italian is being wanky (His f_w wiki entry is gold.)
Teasing bits from works-in-progress of mine, as the mean tease I am.
"An Adventure in Norway". Doctor Who, Ten/Rose, post-"Doomsday".
The Doctor is thinking about adventures again.
He's had them, lived them, died by them, been regenerated into them, become them. They've formed him, and he's formed the Universe through them. A fair sort of trade, perhaps, as fair as anything in the Universe could ever be.
There's one adventure he hasn't had, can't have. He told Rose that, the Rose the Universe has taken from him as he always knew it would. That doesn't feel fair at all, not to him. Certainly not to him. Fair is giving him what he wants.
He still has the arrogance to not feel ashamed at thinking that. Still a Time Lord, even if he is the last. So many adventures, and they'll all come to silence when he dies. No remembrance for Gallifrey. No remembrance for the Doctor.
One adventure he hasn't had. Can't have, but can fake.
Rose is twenty. She might live to eighty - that is the average for her time and her kind. Sixty years of life. Long time for one single adventure. He might go a little mad. Wouldn't be the first time, but might be the last. But still, he's never rushed into adventures expecting no dangers. He'll just have to think of normal life as a Dalek and duck a lot.
Sixty years.
One adventure he hasn't had.
He's always enjoyed leaving no spot undiscovered.
"Curse of Gods". Doctor Who, Ten/Rose, guest appearances by Jack.
"You made my heart beat again," he says, holding it out to her. The beating of it seems to thunder in her ears. "You healed flesh, you reassembled atoms, you brought me back. No silence for Jack Harkness. I hear and I remember and it hurts."
She is crying, but he shows no signs of sympathy, no signs of forgiveness.
"Rose Tyler, murderer," he says, dropping his heart and it spirals into space, no ground beneath them to halt its fall. "Rose Tyler, forcer of life. Rose Tyler, the power of gods and none of the wisdom. You need to learn, little girl."
He smiles, and it's a wolf's smile. "You will."
She wakes and thinks it just another dream.
She's just had it a few times in a row, is all.
"Synonyms for Love", Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose, also featuring Eight, Charley, Romana, Reinette, original characters
The Earth goes boom, and he takes Rose out for chips. Or rather, she takes him. She's not his girlfriend and he's certainly not her boyfriend (not that Ricky the Idiot would offer much competition), but it's still a date, still two people sharing a meal and the start of something. He's not sure what, but he's never paused for analysations on the very good reasoning that he would never get anything else done. What is, is. Everything else, he'll make something of.
Rose laughs easily, even after what she's just seen, and she smiles at him without pity, even after what he's told her. He likes both.
"Do aliens also have chips?" she asks, licking salt off her fingers. He watches, feeling a little strange.
"Only the really sophisticated ones."
"You never see that on telly," she reflects. "Aliens always seem to be eating something with tentacles."
"That's because humans are gross with gross ideas," he informs her, and she nicks a chip from him in retaliation. He doesn't take one from her, because she'll learn about loss soon enough. All too soon with him. Perhaps she's even forming ideas already.
Maybe he likes that too.
"Funny still," she goes on, chewing with consideration, "all the ideas humans got about aliens probably being all wrong. Like they're all going to speak proper English. You never think about dialects. Planets having a North and all."
"There's a lot of things you lot don't think about and still entertain ideas over."
She gives him a look he can't quite read, at least not yet. He makes a note of it for when he might be able to.
"Living Myths", Ten/Rose, parts post-"Doomsday".
"We're not doing that again," Rose says, arms crossed.
"Oh, come on!" the Doctor protests. "It was fun!"
"Fun? Maybe for you - you weren't the one dangling in the air on international television, knickers exposed! And don't think I didn't notice your sudden buddy Grant taking snappies, either! I just hope mum doesn't watch Mythbusters."
"Your mum? Unlikely. Coronation Street is more her style."
"Why are you such a fan of the show that you had to bluff your way in to help with testing urban myths, anyhoo?"
He looks at her, eyes shining with stars and mirth. "With me, Rose, you're living myths."
"Jackie's Fairytale", Jackie/Pete, some implied Doctor/Rose, guest-starring the TARDIS.
There is a fairytale I know, the voice whispers to her. Would you like to hear it?
Yes.
Once upon a time there was a human girl and she was named Rose after a fairytale of long ago. And I called her the wolf, the bad, bad wolf, for I knew what she would become.
Did she do something bad?
Yes. She did something no one is supposed to do. And then she saved the world, time and the prince who was no prince at all.
How?
She burned, little girl. She burned like the sun and evil turned to ashes before her. But the prince brought her back with a kiss.
Then what? Happily ever after?
There is no happily ever after in time. I burn all, end all, kill all. And I live all.
That sounds sad.
How would you have ended it then, little Jackie?
I wouldn't have ended it at all. I would have told the fairytale forever.
To be continued, as they say.

Polar bear stops by airport
Viking ship replica a bit too big for Oslo
Thief nicks refugee photos (WTF?)
Politician accused of gay bashing after bemoaning lack of 'gay-free' beach (ohNOES someone gay might be drooling over a straight person! What horror! It's a drool-for-all society!)
