Okay, so I'm spammy like all hell. Watch me not care about it.

And I have finally found THE RIGHT POEM TO POST!

I Have a Terrible Cold

I have a terrible cold,
And everyone knows how terrible colds
Alter the whole system of the universe,
Set us against life,
And make even metaphysics sneeze.
I have wasted the whole day blowing my nose.
My head is aching vaguely.
Sad condition for a minor poet!
Today I am really and truly a minor poet.
What I was in old days was a wish; it's gone.

Goodbye for ever, queen of fairies!
Your wings were made of sun, and I am walking here.
I shan't get well unless I go and lie down on my bed.
I never was well except lying down on the Universe.

Excusez un peu ... What a terrible cold! ... it's
physical!
I need truth and aspirin.


(14.03.1931)

'Selected Poems' translated from Fernando Pessoa by J.Griffin.

...now don't tell me you were expecting something different.


As for the random quizzie:


How evil are you?

Woah, the Little Hamster in my Head was apparently more evil than I thought.


Also, because I love it way too much not to share, and I still thank Ni for linking me to it - John Barrowman sings Doctor Who theme!

God, I STILL love it like mad. David Tennant's background noises regularly do me in.

Could you see me picking something serious? :P I was kind of about to, but then I found this... and the biggest lightbulb ever lit up in my head.

Oh my god, I adore both persons being unashemedly silly in very public places and the ones who play along with them. It always makes my life that little brighter. :D

If the doc makes Reproachful Eyes at you, tell them it was the monkey's fault. ;P

Excuse me? This is a very serious poem! There's so much philosophy and insight, it's only thinly veiled but the no less serious, but maybe amusing, subject of a terrible cold.

Pessoa is MY poet :) Since the very first time I read one of his, I felt completely connected with what he was saying. I feel he wrote what I would write if I could :)

The other people are from Doctor Who too. Noel, the black boy (he's the one John offers the show host a 3some with) was in the first 2 seasons, and he's written one of Torchwood episodes, but I don't remember which one, thus I can't tell you if he sucks too bad. But he also wrote a movie he stars in, so I guess he's got some kind of talent :)

And yes, I love them. Both of them. But I love JB more, because I like Captain Jack more than I like Ten. I'm liking Ten a lot more this season, but I still love Nine a lot more. Anyway, can't wait for Jack reunion with the Doctor ♥ Sadly, they already said Jack and Ten won't kiss :( if that's true, then more reason to miss Nine.

The doc sees patients at a public hospital ad-honorem (is that the expression) on Tuesday mornings, and there's so much drama that she runs to therapy after that.
