Summer Plans

You, anonymous internet reader, may or may not have realised that I haven't posted any reviews of films from my college's library in the last few days. That'll be because I really rather stupidly didn't realise something about my college's library: not being able to access it when college is closed (i.e. in the summer holidays, now).

However! I do have something else to watch over the summer - that being my recently expanded collection of Doctor Who DVDs!

I've had season 1 and 2 since about January I think, and watched them all, but season 3 and 4 and the Specials I got after building a computer for my Dad with my brother (aren't we smart). I figured with this mini-project a few handy things:
- I got them all in Italian with Italian audio and Italian subtitles. There isn't much Italian I can absorb when I'm not at college so this is perfect and should keep my language-brain going over the time off. (unfortunately I won't be able to include quote in reviews)
- Doctor Who is still drama and acting so I can still write reviews of it - not sure if I'll do each episode or as seasons (probably the former) but there's still content I can create for UABP.
-I FREAKING LOVE DOCTOR WHO. If you don't know me personally you may not understand that but, ahem, it is something of a passion of mine.


There's a definite 3 weeks I won't post anything (28/7 - 16/8) cause that's Hampshire Youth Theatre, which I'm very fortunate to be in and super excited about. I was in Great Expectation was Joe Gargery last year and I can fairly confidently say that was one of the best times of my life. I better plug that now:
['The Best Christmas Present in the World', adapted from the picturebook by Michael Morpurgo ('War Horse', 'Private Peaceful') performed by Hampshire Youth Theatre in the Nuffield Playing Field, a purpose built football-studium-come-Jacobian-theatre in Guildhall Square, Southampton, walkable from both the ferry port and the central train station, on the 14th, 15th and 16th of August 2014]
But other than that I guess I need to work out a schedule for watching all of Doctors 9 and 10 (and reviewing) before the end of the summer when I go back to Shakespeare and Italian films.

Oh *another* thing! I found out recently that people my age can get £5 tickets to the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre's productions, and there are some incredible productions coming to the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, so don't be surprised if you start seeing theatre-reviews here as well - I am thoroughly determined to be a part of that incredible world that is theatre and that's how I'm going to get there, any way I can, it's where I belong and where I see myself going. I also recently read the entirety of the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy in less than a month, the saga which is to be Nuffield Youth Theatre's next production (I'M SO EXCITED) I'm feeling pretty dedicated to my passion right now.

So, look forward to seeing some reviews of Doctor Whos (that rhymes). I won't create a top-bar-linked index page for it like I have for Shakespeare and Italian, but at the end I think I'll make a post linking back to all of them which people can find if they're interested.
