prompt 16

I love Doctor Who, the BBC sci-fi show that is turning 50 this year. Normally I'm not big on Sci-fi, but this show is one of the big exceptions. I have mostly only watched the new series that picked up again in 2005 as a continuation of the original series, but I plan on watching the original series as well. If you ask any fan of the show what it's about, you will probably just get more confused by their explanation. The show is very hard to describe and do it justice, and with 50 years of continuity it is very easy to get lost. The basic premiss of the show is easy enough to explain, an alien man who calls himself 'The Doctor' has a spaceship/time machine that can travel anywhere in space or time. Along the way he picks up many companions to travel with him and keep him company. This sounds relatively simple but there are so many characters and aliens, details and stories that this explanation cant even begin to cover it. The show is so complex and huge that the only way to really understand it is to watch it yourself.

Writing for me is a bit like drawing, I enjoy it when i'm in the mood to write, and when it wont come out right I get frustrated. Starting with a new, clean sheet of paper, thinking of every thing I want to do. putting pencil to the page and drawing the first lines. Erasing a piece that doesn't look right and re-drawing it. Getting irritated and scrapping the whole thing, only to start all over again. And finally, when I get what I want I proudly put it in my art book to keep forever.

If my cat could talk I think she would have a lot to say, mostly about food.
"Feed me, feed me!! I'm wasting away! Is that ham? I love ham!"
 Or sleep.
"I'm so tired. I spent all day napping and then I had to go outside for five whole minutes! I need another nap."
Complaining about my dad.
"Stop picking on me! I want to sleep! Stop picking me up and poking me in the belly, I'm not fat!"
Whining when I'm not home.
"Where is she? She's supposed to be right here to pet me! Where did she go?!"
As it is she already talks a lot, in mews and purrs, saying things we can only guess at. But if she could talk our language I think she would have a lot to say, mostly about food or sleep.

library (prompt substitution)

At the library there are certain rules you follow. Certain edicate you adhere to least you get yelled at or kicked out by the librarian. When in a library the most important rule is to be silent, read your book in peace without disturbing the other patrons. If you absolutely need to speak to someone whisper quietly and be conscious to others around you who are trying to work or read their own things, and never talk on the phone in the library, all calls should be taken outside. Never disturb someone who is preoccupied and never spy on others and what they are reading or working on. Another big rule is no food or drink around the books least you spill something on them and damage the pages. Violation of any of these rules often leads to the librarian’s wrath and possibly being thrown out.

Working in the library on my statistics homework, I can’t figure out how to make the math program work on the computer. I look around at others people’s computers to try and see if they happen to be working on the same thing. Of course no one is and I give up completely. I go to find I silent corner where  I can call my mom but before I find one I see my friend waving at me from a table. She is sitting at a table working on her laptop, trying to come up with a design for one of her classes. I go sit with her and we begin to talk, trying to keep it to a whisper, but occasionally falling and having to be reminded by my friend to keep it down. Soon we decide to go and get lunch before we start eating in the library and incur the librarian’s wrath.

theme week 4

Looking around the school café I see a young man in blue jeans and a black t-shirt and glasses sitting on one of the tan armchairs with a black laptop in his lap, typing. Occasionally he looks sideways and talks to the girl sitting in the tan armchair to his left.  She also is wearing glasses and blue jeans. She has a black and grey t-shirt on and has a smaller silver laptop sitting in her lap. An old fashioned looking lamppost sits between their chairs and a fake tree sits in a square plant pot to the left of the girl. Across the room a woman sits at one of the tall round bar tables, wearing blue jeans and a grey jacket and a blue and grey striped hat. There is a laptop sitting in front of her and she is typing away. A pile of papers sits next to the computer and a barely drunk from bottle of cherry coke sits behind it. There is a blue and grey backpack sitting in the chair to the left of the woman and a red winter coat thrown over the back.

"I want to buy a MacBook."
"There too expensive."

"Gabby got a new computer because her old one was stolen, Dad bought Mom one for Christmas because hers was full of viruses, and Dad bought a new one because his was old and slowing down. My computer still works great and its too expensive to buy a new one."
".....I still want a MacBook."

Saturday, the day before the big game. I watch customers crowding the store, heading for the TVs. Vheicles fill the parking lot, giant pickup trucks, vans full of screaming kids, and multi-colored cars. Customers bundled up in bright winter jackets, hats and scarves rush toward the doors. The home theater department is busy, people are everywhere demanding TV from employees, and the employees are trying to tell the customers to please wait until its their turn to be helped. Dozens of TVs go out the door, ranging from 19 inch screens to 60 inch screens. People head back to their cars and try to cram their new televisions into their too small cars, eager to get them home and set them up to watch the Superbowl, only to take them back down the day after the game and return them so they can get their money back.
