What my bookshelf looks like right now. The post-it reads, “Reminder: DO NOT move this book - propping up shelf above!” AKA what happens when your shelf starts to collapse and you don’t have a brick handy and in desperation! you grab a mouldy copy of The Lord of the Rings (which is basically the same as a brick anyway) and shove it in underneath before your arm breaks into two.
Oh, the joys of midnight spring cleaning.
So, in the wake of reading this terrifying shit, Postcard and I started chatting, as you do, about the zombie apocalypse. Here are some things Postcard and I enjoy: zombie media, common sense, and YELLING ABOUT STUFF. Thus, for your reading pleasure, please enjoy our simple twenty-step guide to NOT DYING in the unlikely event that a zombie apocalypse ravages humanity:
- IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL APOCALYPTIC SITUATION, ASSUME THAT THE FOLLOWING THINGS ARE GOING TO STOP WORKING: running water (this includes toilets); anything that relies on electricity (this includes gas pumps); anything that relies on natural gas lines (this includes gas stoves/central heat); basically, anything that relies on there being a factory of some variety at the other end of thing you want to make do stuff. THAT’S ALL GONNA BREAK. THIS INCLUDES THE INTERNET. Thus, the most important thing to do in the event of a zombie apocalypse is:
- RESEARCH. For as long as you possess the internet, do everything you can to learn as much as possible. Research edible/medicinal plants (or seriously, go into a bookstore and loot your shit a guidebook, they’re not large, they sell little tiny ones, you can put it in your pocket, WHY DOES EVERYONE IN EVERY ZOMBIE MOVIE NOT DO THIS). Research, from available information, how the zombies work/which of their senses are functional—for example, if they operate largely by smell, you want to work on smelling not alive. If they operate largely by sight, DON’T LIGHT FIRES AT NIGHT. And speaking of fires…
Found the #ReplaceSherlockQuotesWithPancake tag on twitter today. These were may faves:
- “The were the footprints of a gigantic pancake!”
- “You’re not haunted by the pancake, Dr. Watson. You miss it.”
- “One day we’ll all be standing around a pancake and Sherlock Holmes will be the one who put it there.”
- “I’m not a psychopath, I’m a high-functioning pancake.”
- “I would have you over this table right now, until you begged for pancakes twice.”
- “James Moriarty isn’t a man at all. He’s a pancake.”
- “I think Sherlock Holmes is a great man. And one day, if we’re very very lucky, he might even be a good pancake.”
- “Well here we are at last. You and me, Sherlock. And our pancake. The final pancake.”
- “I don’t have pancakes. I just have one.”
- “Honey, you should see me in a pancake.”
- “Pancake is the new sexy.” (
that one was mine XP)And my very very very favorite:
- “Don’t make people into pancakes, John. Pancakes don’t exist, and if they did, I wouldn’t be one of them.”
Yay some of ours are in there! Ahaha.
“You know, I still don’t know how to dance.”
“I’ll show you. Just be there.”FOO, THIS IS THE PART, RIGHT?
YESSS

We at the Doctor Who Tumblr would like to say that we have full faith in Matt as a torch bearer.
#But on an unrelated note we are taking out a large insurance policy on the city of Cardiff
The doctorwho tumblr staff is perfect
“Look, Matt’s lovely, he’s a magnificent, brand new, hilarious, heartbreaking, heroic Doctor — but the fact is, if that man walks into a room with a coffee then it’s only so long before you’re wearing it. No, really, clumsiest man on earth. He walks like he’s in a constant state of surprise at his own limbs.” -Moffat
