Cleaning my desk

My desk is littered with dextrose, mints, PEZ and other forms of candy that never seem to go bad.
There also are lots of pieces of paper (usually old bills) that have movie, song or book titles or other random information I don’t know the context of anymore, scribbled on them.
I have a lot of needles and paper clips - both are items I almost never use.
I found the small collection of matches I once half-heartedly started. They shall burn.
I threw out at least a dozen pens that don’t work anymore.

Bourdieu

The shallow, romantic part of me (that’s 98% of my persona) is very disappointed that he doesn’t look more philosophical. This is how he looks:

And while this is all right for a professor I expected him to look more like Philip Johnson (who is no philosopher) or Claude Lévi-Strauss (who is more of an anthropologist).

Eeew, God,

something in my coffee tastes like valerian. Eew, this is so disgusting, I don’t even… gah! Seriously, valerian in itself is horrible (I tool it once to calm down before a really important math test and it was so horrible I decided that I’d rather be a nervous wreck) but combined with coffee and milk… It’s so awful! I’m gagging while I’m writing this. Where are my caramels?

But it’s always been a mystery because she didn’t inherit it. Her mum didn’t have it her dad didn’t have it, it came from nowhere!
ROSE: What, and you’re saying that’s a wolf bite?
THE DOCTOR: Well, maybe Haemophilia is just a Victorian euphemism.
ROSE: For werewolf?
THE DOCTOR: Could be!
ROSE: Queen Victoria’s a werewolf?
THE DOCTOR: Could be! And, her children had the Royal Disease. Maybe she gave them a quick nip.
ROSE: [disbelievingly] So, the Royal Family are werewolves?
THE DOCTOR: Well, maybe not yet. I mean, a single wolf cell could take a hundred years to mature…might be ready by, oooh, early 21st century?
ROSE: Nah! That’s just ridiculous! Mind you, Princess Anne…!
THE DOCTOR: I’ll say no more.
ROSE: And if you think about it, they’re very private. They plan everything in advance. They — they could schedule themselves around the moon, we’d never know! [The Doctor snickers as they reach the TARDIS] They like hunting! They love blood sports! [The Doctor laughs and the TARDIS starts to dematerialize but they can still be heard] Oh my God, they’re werewolves! [The two of them howl and cackle over the sound of the TARDIS engines until it disappears]

And because of this, we have Torchwood.
