In other news, I just failed that last exam this afternoon. But hell, after two glasses of wine and one rum and coke, it's amazing how quickly you get to the 'I really don't give a rat's arse' stage...

Um, where was I?

Ah yes. Tea. I once more am the proud owner of a box of Twinings Earl Grey. And it's decaf. Which does kind of remove the point of drinking the stuff whilst revising, but it does actually settle on the stomach a hell of a lot easier. Makes you feel less headachy and twitchy after you've downed 10 cups.

Have only read review of 'Time Bomb', and seen a few screencaps. (Head to [livejournal.com profile] wisteria_'s LJ if you want a peek.)

1) Yet again, most thoughts regarding the episode were driven out of my head by the somewhat repetitive observation: 'Dear God, that man is hot!'

2) I've seen this word bandied about a bit and went to brush up on its meaning. So here it be:


FEY: English. Having or displaying an otherworldly, magical, or fairylike aspect or quality. Having visionary power; clairvoyant. Appearing touched or crazy, as if under a spell.
Scots. Fated to die soon. Full of the sense of approaching death.

[Middle English feie, fated to die, from Old English fge.]

feyly adv.
feyness n.
Word History: The history of the words fey and fay illustrates a rather fey coincidence. Our word fay, “fairy, elf,” the descendant of Middle English faie, “a person or place possessed of magical properties,” and first recorded around 1390, goes back to Old French fae, “fairy,” the same word that has given us fairy. Fae in turn comes from Vulgar Latin Fta, “the goddess of fate,” from Latin ftum, “fate.” If fay goes back to fate, so does fey in a manner of speaking, for its Old English ancestor fge meant “fated to die.” The sense we are more familiar with, “magical or fairylike in quality,” seems to have arisen partly because of the resemblance in sound between fay and fey.



And with that, I bid you goodnight. Next exam is on Tuesday. Oh joy. I intend to drink and sleep tonight, revision will start anew and with a vengeance tomorrow.

ETA: *hits self* Forgot to say, huuuge 'Thank you' and **huggles** to everyone who wished me good luck. It was very much appreciated. So thank you :)
