Doctor Who Meme. Day 1. Favourite Qoute.

So today starts my 30 day thing!

Favourite Doctor Who quote.
I'm just gonna post multiple cause choosing just one??

Psh. Please...

The Doctor: No! 'Cause this is what I'm going to do: I'm going to rescue her! I'm going to save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet! And then I'm going to save the Earth! And then, just to finish off, I'm going to wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky!
Dalek: BUT-YOU-HAVE-NO-WEAPONS! NO-DE-FEN-SES! NO-PLAN!
The Doctor: Yeah! And doesn't that scare you to death? Rose?
Rose: Yes, Doctor?
The Doctor: I'm coming to get you.

The Doctor: I'm the Doctor and you're in the biggest library in the universe. Look me up.

The Doctor: These human beings. Consider their potential. From the day they arrive on the planet and blinking step into the sun. There is more to see than can ever be seen. More to do than-- no, hold on...(pauses, thinking) Sorry, that's 'The Lion King'. But the point still stands. Leave them alone!
-HE FREAKIN QUOTES LION KING PEOPLE.

The Doctor: You want weapons? We're in a library. Books! Best weapons in the world. (He puts his glasses on.) This room's the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself.

The Doctor: Just a nightmare, Reinette, don't worry about it. Everyone has nightmares. Even monsters from under the bed have nightmares, don't you, monster?
Young Reinette: What do monsters have nightmares about?
The Doctor: Me, ha!

The Doctor: There's one tiny little gap in the universe left, just about to close. And it takes a lot of power to send this projection, I'm in orbit around a super nova. (laughs softly) I'm burning up a sun just to say goodbye.
-The sweetest thing the Doctor's ever done. I swear. I want a boy to burn up a sun for me!

The Doctor: Books! People never really stop loving books. 51st century. By now you've got holovids, direct to brain downloads, fiction mist, but you need the smell. The smell of books, Donna. Deep breath. The Library. So big it doesn't need a name. Just a great big "the." ...It's a world. Literally a world. The whole core of the planet is the index computer, biggest hard drive ever. And up here, every book ever written. Whole continents of Jeffrey Archer, Bridget Jones, Monty Python's Big Red Book. Brand new editions, specially printed. We're near the equator, so... (he licks his finger then lifts it up to feel the wind) this must be Biographies! I love biographies!
-Yes I have slight love of the Doctor and his love of libraries and books.

Donna: Who are you?
The Doctor: I'm the Doctor. You?
Donna: Donna.
The Doctor: (looks her up and down) Human?
Donna: Yeah. Is that optional?
The Doctor: Well, it is for me.

Shakespeare: This is just a theatre.
The Doctor: Oh, but a theatre’s magic, isn’t it? You should know. Stand on this stage, say the right words with the right emphasis a the right time... Oh, you can make men weep, or cry with joy, change them. You can change people’s minds just with words in this place. And if you exaggerate that...

The Doctor: I’m old enough to know that a longer life isn’t always a better one. In the end, you just get tired. Tired of the struggle. Tired of losing everyone that matters to you. Tried of watching everything turn to dust. (squats beside Lazarus) If you live long enough, Lazarus, the only certainty left is that you end up alone.
Lazarus: That’s a price worth paying.
The Doctor: Is it?

Captain Jack: All the legends of Gallifrey made it sound so perfect.
The Doctor: (musing) Well, perfect to look at, maybe. And it was, it was beautiful. They used to call it the Shining World of the Seven Systems. And on the continent of Wild Endeavour, in the mountains of Solace and Solitude, there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords. The oldest and most mighty race in the universe. Looking down on the galaxies below, sworn never to interfere, only to watch. Children of Gallifrey were taken from their families at the age of eight, to enter the Academy. Some say that's where it all began, when he was a child. That's when the Master saw eternity. As a novice, he was taken for initiation. He stood in front of the Untempered Schism. It's a gap in the fabric of reality through which could be seen the whole of the vortex. We stand there, eight years old, staring at the raw power of Time and Space, just a child. Some would be inspired. Some would run away. And some would go mad. (beat) Oh, I dunno.
Martha: What about you?
The Doctor: Oh, the ones that ran away! I never stopped.

Amy Pond: Something old, something new, something borrowed... something blue.

Rory: [Watching the TARDIS appear] It's the Doctor! How could we forget the Doctor?
[Fading into the background as Amy climbs over the table and walks to the TARDIS]
Rory: I was plastic... He was a stripper at my stag... Long story.
Amy Pond: [Knocking on the door of the TARDIS] OK Doctor, did I surprise you this time?
The Doctor: [Opening the door wearing a formal morning suit] Eh, yeah, completly astonished. Never expected that!

The Doctor: Amy, only one thought, one simple instruction: don't follow me under any circumstances.
[Runs off]
Amy Pond: I won't.
Vincent Van Gogh: Will you follow him?
Amy Pond: Of course.
Vincent Van Gogh: I love you.
-This may have been my favourite episode ever.

The Doctor: The last time, with Martha, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate.
Donna Noble: You just want to mate?
The Doctor: I just want *a* mate!
Donna Noble: You're not matin' with me Sunshine!
The Doctor: A mate! I want *a* mate!
Donna Noble: Well, just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonsense! I mean, you're just a long streak of nothing, y'know, alien nothing!
*cackles*
That always makes me laugh.

Okay. 15 quotes is like..good enough for the day.
Right?

I could do 15 an hour. Honestly.

anyways.
OH.
2 MORE THINGS.
Mostly cause I dont wanna make another blog post.

I want this shirt. Closer up images of it here.

AND AND AND.
Zoe Keating is finally going to be doing a concert near me in October. I might die.
So excited.

Celloly Nerdness. (And some other music too)

Okay. Lets Start July off right.
With a post about music. Mostly cello stuffs too.

First off. A musician Ive fallen in love with. Zoe Keating.
Her new album is out and I love it. I have no money to get my hands on it yet but...soon.
Meanwhile its streaming free here.

Now, chances are, I already posted about this. BUT.
Here's the amazing thing about this woman. Not only did she come out with a new album, but she had a baby last month. (if you follow her on twitter, it is the the most beautiful baby)
But. Her new album? Debuted on Billboard Classical albums at #7.
#7.
With "No marketing, no publicity: just digital dwnlds"
And you people question me saying she's good. She really is!!!


ALRIGHT.
Next. Another cellist.
That I just found yesterday.
Gordon Withers.
Yet ANOTHER cellist (Unwoman) re twittered that any cellist who messaged him on twitter got his new album for free.

How. could. I. resist?
and its so good. (streaming free here)
Its good.

(Speaking of Unwoman, I got a poster from her for free. I haven't put it up yet but - cool, right?)

Okay next.
Yet another new cellist Ive found.
Not necessarily her music but her blog and book.
Emily Wright. She wrote this book.
"A Modern Cellist's Manual: Technique, Approach and Musings"
"A very different sort of cello method, A Modern Cellist's Manual combines technical information and plenty of photographs with advice on approach. Topics addressed range from the basics of a painless bow grip to injury avoidance, working with a metronome, and tenor clef. Emily's tone and sense of humor lighten the mood of any practice session. A Modern Cellist's Manual is suitable for those taking private lessons as well as returning cellists looking to bolster rusty technique."

I waaaannnntttttt.


NNNEEXXXXXXTTTTT.
A story.
Keith Tutt is a cellist. He also has solo msuic where he sings and plays guitar but I know him as cellist for Switchfoot.
And an incredibly nice guy who always remembers me. (I think its the whole introducing myself as playing cello too...)
But I saw him at the bro-Am and he remembered me. Was so nice about it too. Told me how he's working on solo stuff and wants to play bro-am by himself next year.
YES PLEASE.

I also had the really random thought about him and me sitting around talking about cello stuff all day.
Oh I would love it. And then have him teach me the cello parts to switchfoot songs.
Hehehehe.

I feel like Im getting off track now. There was something else I wanted to post.
Was it about me and the music I downloaded to start playing and practicing? Or how I bought a coldplay album yesterday?
Or that Dustin Ruth album I finally listened to and feel in love with?

Maybe I should just do a weekly music post so I dont bombard you all with all this. heheheh.
That is all.

Celloly yours,
Amy

References.Quotes.

I had to write this huge paper for my health class and found really cool quotes.
So I'm sharing those references (everything on my bibliography page) with you.

I know. You're so excited.:D

Well first off, I managed to reference Jon Foreman's Mercy's War and the article he wrote for Huffington post over the weekend. Which I recommended in my last blog post.

Next.
This video. A comedian ranting about Pachelbel. Why? Because cellist's get the lamest parts in Pachelbel songs.


I talked about Zoe Keating briefly. Yes, I've recommended her before. Now go download this free song by her.

And lastly. I really really like quotes.

“Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.”
-Henry Miller.

“The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.”
- Pablo Casals

“Cello players, like other great athletes, must keep their fingers exercised.”
- Julian Lloyd Webber

“The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.”
-Pablo Casal

“Music isn't just learning notes and playing them, You learn notes to play to the music of your soul.”
- Katie Greenwood

I had a lot more references of technical stuff but this all I wanted to share. Hope you enjoyed!


(And if you can't figure out what my paper was about..even generally..really?!?!?!??)

Continuing on with the cello theme...

This.



It reminds me of Zoe Keating. I love it so so much.

I maybe want to be that kind of Cellist someday.

Ah. Anyways. Not much else.

My heart hurts for Haiti. A lot. Be sure to pray for them and donate if you can. Remember-most charities make their bulk through little donations. Anything helps.

I need constant soundtracking

Currently: refreshing twitter and facebook to continually see Mess Of Me stuff. =)

Everyone that knows me, knows I love music. I almsot constantly have it playing.

I love soundtracks. I love making playlists.

But sometimes-it doesnt matter to me unless I can share it with others.

SO.

Musical post here.



First artist up? A continuation from last post-Switchfoot has the new Mess of Me video and I have posted up on the "current" line. Watch the video, rate it, fav it, comment. Please =D
We're really trying to get this video go big within the next 24 hours, and we jsut need some help from where we already have it at.



Second-Zoe Keating.
Now I actually found her on twitter. she's one of those "people you should follow". I think I only followed cause she's a cellist. ANYWAYS.
There are three of her tracks FREE on last.fm
Sun Will Set
Legions (War)
Exurgency

Honestly, exurgency is what made me fall in love and go buy her two albums on amazon. I love her stuff.


Next. Another cellist. Unwoman.
I found her through Zoe Keating on twitter. It was like the other nite she poste her site link so I went. She only has two albums and she sings while playing but holy moly is she good.
I went like two days just listening to her stuff.
http://unwoman.bandcamp.com/
im still debating over what I want to buy from her. there's options
NOTE-her covers of Hurt and House of the Rising Sun are incredible. Her original stuff is awesome too. Im very very into it.



And lastly.
Glee.

Normally, Im not into what the hype is, but I love love love this show. Maybe cause its all musical and reminds me of the kids I hung out with in high school. I dunno.
But I usually watch it on Hulu-depending on the week and if Ive been working or not.

Okay-the next bit may or may not have spoilers. Its mostly just about the songs though.
Last week-Now, Im not a huge Neil Diamond fan.
My mom and brother are.
but this last week? Puck sang "Sweet Caroline"
oooohhh I have a new obsession. Heh.
And the week beofre (or the week before that) Quinn sang "You Just Keep Me Hangin On"
Its really.
Im so amused amazon already has volume 1 of season 1 soundtrack up. They do THAT many songs.

LOVE IT.

Alright. I gotta me some homework done.
You?
You check out the music I posted.
