As I write this, on December 24th, there is only one more day until the most important day on the year, yes, tomorrow is THE DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!!!
I adore Matt Smith, just as much as I adored David Tennant, Matt brings a sense of childish wonder to the role. If some of you Whovians are still having issues adjusting to Matt, I find it best to consider it like this: whenever a new Doctor comes along, just consider it the starting of a brand new show, and not a continuation.
Anyway, this is basically Doctor Who's version of the classic Dickens tale 'A Christmas Carol', with Michael Gambon playing the Scrooge character named 'Elliot Sardick' The Doctor must 'save the soul' of Elliot to rescue Amy and Rory (who I presume are on their honeymoon) from certain death, as they are stuck in a spaceship abut to crash. That's all I know, and it doesn't make much sense. But we'll still love it. As this is a Christmas episode, remember it's more than likely going to be very very cheesy (Voyage of the Damned anyone?).
Anyway, supposedly there's also a Christian holiday called Christmas tomorrow, I suppose it must have been invented to honour the Doctor Who Christmas Special. What are you getting for DWCS Day? Tell me what you're getting and what you want! And Merry Doctor Who Christmas Special to everybody!
Over and out!

A Strongly Worded Retort Against The Most Heinous Actionts Of Messrs Doyle & Breen
I point you in the vicinity of a certain video, by Milky Millie.
Now, my audience, Millie agreed to a competition at the end, for a pack of skittles. To the person who could name the song from which the lyrics "Hover-skates are not the same as running at the speed of sound" and what do the lyrics refer to?, and I, like any good nerd, instantly knew the answer and posted my official comment reply.
You may remember Paul, Paul left his own reply before me, however it was unfinished on both counts (and also, may I add, sloppily worded), yet Paul has officially won the competition. "But how?" you must be asking yourself? The answer lies in what I believe to be a corrupt and disgusting scheme by Paul and Millie to rig the contest. Paul allegedly gave Millie the answer in Facebook chat, and so won the competition, yet there is no proof to display of this answer. I smell a rat, and yet there is nothing I can do. I have been played, and have come out worse for wear, and without a skittle in sight.
What do you make of this cruel injustice my readers? Make your opinion clear, and boycott these vile vloggers from your subscription lists.
Over and Out.
(p.s. this has been a satire, Millie and Paul are both excellent vloggers and you should really check them out!)

Christ This is Not My Week...
I've returned!
After my lengthy hiatus (6 days? Wow...) I'm still not exactly feeling tip-top...
Let us start this tale at the end, I now have tonsillitis. I can swallow no more than soup and my several medications (penicillin, nurofen, merocaine and medijel), and it's incredibly difficult not to drown in my own spittle when sleeping. Therefore my mood is currently hungry, tired, drugged up and in pain.
All this has occurred in the week in which I have my Christmas exams, needless to say, an English exam is difficult to sit on a Monday morning, even more so when you haven't slept the night before, and have to recoil in pain every time you need to swallow. None the less I think it went quite well, as did my Irish, Construction, DCG, and Physics exams. I actually may have managed a perfect score in DCG and Physics, something to comfort me as I sit here, angry at my soup (as usual it's tomato).
I've somewhat recovered from my sudden relationship termination last Friday, though I won't force you to listen to the gory details...
Hopefully I'll return to my usual blogging schedule now (i.e. completely randomly), I'll be offering my view on the new Arkham City trailer soon enough (it's epic)... But for now I must leave you to go to Taekwon-Do (Yes, I'm also a martial artist, its awesome). Until next time my audience...

Hiatus
Yeah, erm, well to put it plainly I just got dumped.
And it hurts, really badly.
So I'm taking a few days away from blogging until I get myself in working order again, unless I get some sudden and drastic inspiration...
Until then, my audience...

Ooh look I'm Complaining...
Stupid YouTube...
As it turns out, once you've chosen your username, you can never change it. Ever.
The only way to do so is to delete your entire account and start afresh.
I just encountered this problem about 5 minutes ago (to me, not you, unless you're The Doctor, in which case I LOVE YOU!), anyway back to reality, I thought it would be a good idea to change my YouTube account name for 3 reasons.
So, I make the difficult decision to delete my old account, with all my comments, my subscriptions, my all, and start a new one. And voila! Here it is: ACarnivalOfSorts. Pretty barren aye? I'll try catch up with all my old subscriptions and friends again, but I can't make any promises... And who knows, there may be a vlog in the works if I ever get a camera....

- The name (Turkeyjekey) was from an old joke among friends, which I cannot remember anymore.
- The name was actually meant to be TurkeyJerkey (alas, I didn't notice until too late)
- I thought it would be a good idea to start using a universal name for all my online travails. (ACarnivalOfSorts, or variations thereof)

To the Irish!
It turns out that, including me, many of my group of friends are making their first forays into the blogging universe, either now or just a couple of months ago...
It raises a topic that was discussed the other day by my friend Paul in his vlog ( Check it out here, its awesome). Irish peoples on the blogo/vlogo-sphere (try saying that five times fast), are you out there? We'd like a bit more noise from you!
The Irish conscience though, being what it is, is not always partial to share how it feels with the wider world. Encounter an Irish person and ask how they are, even your best friend will, 99 percent of the time, only use the word "grand". It's just what we do. As a nation, most families are no more than two generations from the farm, and that means kids are still raised with the 'Keep your head down and stay quiet' mentality. The current crop of teenagers though is freeing itself of those shackles, and has taken it's first few steps into the global community.
So if you are an Irish blogger out there, don't be afraid! Your people are joining you. If you ain't Irish, but still reading this, then hear us. We have arrived. And we brought the Guinness.
A couple of links to my friends out there :
Paul's blog and vlog (again)
Hannah's blog (The best pure writer among us)
Chris' blog
David's blog (If it ever gets updated again)
Millie's vlog

Day 9 In The House: Snow Madness Amongst The Housemates...
The snow has still not departed, it was on the way today, and should have been gone tomorrow, but today Met Eireann (Irish weather service, for those my non-Irish audience) announced it will snow again tonight.
Balls.
I haven't seen my girlfriend in 10 days now, and that's likely going to extend to 13 days at least. We missed our 2 month anniversary today, and she will not allow me to walk the 20 or so miles to her house, for fear of killing myself on the ice...
Needless to say, I'm very annoyed, very bored, and very cold.
I actually NEED to go to school, and be told to do something... My sanity is teetering over the edge without a purpose to fulfill.
I may not last much longer.

It Certainly Affected My Mass...
Yes I'm a gamer, but that doesn't mean I'm up to date on games...
I operate roughly 1-2 years behind everyone else, why? Cause it's bloody cheap...
Recently I finished Mirrors Edge, a really fun freerunning game from 3 years ago, with minimal fighting time and a slight hint of cyberpunk... I recommend it to anyone starting out in games, or anyone who loved the first Assassins Creed for the simple joy of running around rooftops.
But at the moment I'm playing Mass Effect 2, following up from finishing the first game during the summer.
It. Is. AMAZING. This is on par with Star Wars as a Space Epic, the cut scenes alone could make a good movie. And the voice cast? IT HAS KEITH DAVID! Mass Effect 1 was the best game I ever played, I'm only halfway through 2 and I'm already convinced that this is better. Except for one small thing.
What the hell were they thinking with bringing in ammo clips?! One of the best things from the first game was the lack of an ammo clip, they even gave a perfectly good scientific background for being able to have unlimited ammo. The overheating system worked fine. But they changed it. And now its annoying as hell.
But anyway, just one bad thing in an entire (2 disc) game ain't bad... If you haven't played this yet, do. Because this is not a game, this is an experience.

Of Powder and Partnerships...
Oh I am so fed up of this snow by now...
It's been exactly a week to the hour since it started snowing, and it hasn't budged since...
Sure, say you my wonderful audience, you're glad to have no school? No tests? No homework?
And I reply yes, but there is only so much a man can take...
In 7 days I've
But surely by then Ricky Ponting will have brought in their wicket taking hero from the First Test; the spin-maestro Marcus North (someone should invent a sarcasm font...), we shall see, as long as I keep my coffee reserves full...

- Been outside 5 times
- Spent roughly 13 hours a day attached to a screen of some sort
- Have seen 2 friends
- Have seen my girlfriend 0 times
- and have been given out to by my mother on an uncountable number of occasions...
