A madman with a Box



If I were Doctor's companion I would travel through time and space. I would be able to see planet Barcelona where dogs don't have noses. I would see New Earth with the city of New New New New New New New New New New New New New York. Maybe he would take me to see Midnight, a planet where waterfalls are diamond and sapphire. I would hear the Oods singing. We would fight the Daleks together and save the Earth. But definitely no Weeping Angels! (they are too damn scary).  Doctor would show me past and the ancient times of Earth and other planets. Maybe he wouldn't mind meeting Shakespear again... I would get my own phone with "Universal Roaming". Maybe even the key to the TARDIS. We would surely have to run for our lives many times. At least but not last he would let me sit in the open doors of the TARDIS floating above the Earth, drink a cup of hot tea and admire the view.

As you know we were supposed to watch Doctor Who episode during our lesson but it didn't happen so I decided to make a post about it, just to explain a little bit what it is.
Doctor Who is a British television series with a long tradition. It was reactivated in  2005 after a break in emission. The Doctor is an alien, a Time Lord, who can travel through time and space thanks to his space ship, the TARDIS. It has a shape of blue police phone box (the kind that was in use in London in 60' to call for the police). What is very important it is bigger on the inside. (Nothing special, in fact all women's bags are). Doctor has an amazing ability: every time he is severely injured instead of dying he can regenerate. He changes his body and his personality, but his memories and knowledge stays the same (and he is very knowledgeable). He never travels alone but with a companion (mostly women).










Weeping Angels

Every year, on 25th of December, there is a special Christmas Episode. Some people (like me) wait for it even more than for presents. It is very hard to explain what is this show all about. It is what comes to my mind:

The important things about the show are: British humor, absurd, poorly done special effects, amazing theater-like role play, and good that is in every person and creature in the world. I invite you to try it this Christmas and watch one 45-minute episode. Find out if you like it! :)


Daleks - nemesis of the Doctor


Merry Christmas! :)

Unforgettable mistakes

I have some interesting stories from my childhood, but I decided to write about my high school teacher - Mrs Porada. She used to teach me history and was simply hilarious. She was really scatterbrained and had troubles with maths. It was an amazing combination. Once after we gave in our tests at the end of a lesson she decided  to count them before we live the class. Mrs Porada wanted to know if we didn't stole any to take advantage of it. She ended counting and said: "there is 27 of you in the class and I've got 28 tests. Tell me who didn't give in a test!".
Other situation is related to the fact that Mrs Porada didn't like me and two of my friends: Artur and Albert. She decided to ask us questions for a mark on one lesson. She looked on the list. Firstlu she cose number 18 - Artur. Then she said. "Number 18 plus 3... 21. Oh, Albert! What a surprise!" I had number 24 so I knew I will be next, but then she siad: "21 plus 3... 25 for answer!" The girl that had been called out instead of me didn't protest and I was saved thanks to the poor math skills of my teacher.
The last funny story I want to tell is about Mrs Porada's problems with words. She used to mix up similar words. One day she saw that someone noted a test from antiquity in our class journal. It was the polish teacher, but she thought that maybe she did it. She said:  "Hmmm... Did I wrote it down? I think not... I don't have amnestia after all!" Of course she meaned amnesia.

And my childhood photo. Taken somwhere at the seaside. It is a little bit too bright but it has an amazing ambience :)
