So today I decided to update…wait for it… in an english accent!

I think I should do my next job interview in an english accent (I’m kidding – i’m not that good, right?

Anyway here’s the podcast… eventually I’ll make actual mp3’s of these:

Transcript (well technically I guess you’d call it a script:)

It’s beautiful outside, and my friends are going for sushi.  And I’m sitting inside eating cereal and writing a lab write-up.

Because yesterday I spent all day watching TV… and updating my to-do list.

I really enjoy writing this list and writing about what I plan to do with my life. But it’s rare that I just let myself completely enjoy where I am at this very moment. I’ve gotta start doing that, just soaking in the simple things; practice being amazed by life so that when I do something awesome I can properly enjoy it.

One thing on my to-do list is to make a webcomic.  A weekly thing, something that doesn’t take much time out of my life, just a couple of hours a week (plus doodling in elec class.)  It will make it update on Saturdays because nobody else seems to.

I’ve been thinking about my webcomic and realized it’s a half-post-apocalyptic Doctor Who without Time Lords, other planets, the TARDIS, or immortality.  Or a bunch of other things.  It just seems like I subconsciously lifted specific scenes from Doctor Who episodes.

I think I watch Doctor Who for the acting.  Certainly not for the aliens, or the plots which sometimes seem a little contrived and silly (like in one episode a fish drowns), or the Daleks (Exterminate exterminate) or the fact that it’s basically the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy played straight.

I really want to travel sometime.  Get away from stuff like rent and homework and laundry and stuff.

One thing I like about Doctor Who is that The Doctor doesn’t have any sort of schedule to his life, it isn’t all planned out (Look for a co-op job, work somewhere this summer, go back to school in the fall, look for another co-op job, work for 16 months, go back to school and finish my degree, get a job, settle down, start a family, have a mid-life crisis, retire, and be old.)

I need to start including concrete plans in my to-do list.

EDIT: apparently some webcomics do update on Saturdays, namely Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.  Whoops.
