Jelly Babies

I would like to take a moment, to tell you about the awesomeness that is the jelly baby.

Now, I don't think it's a secret that I'm a big Whovian. (fan of the British show Dr Who) I named my computer the TARDIS, I have a sonic screwdriver on me at all times, and I bought a pair of Converse because the 10th Doctor wears them. Yes, I am obsessed.
So when I saw a pack of jelly babies, which are the 4th Doctor's favorite treat, I simply HAD to buy them.

AND THEY'RE AMAZING!!
Yes, I bought them because I'm crazy, but I ate one, and they're just THAT good. And I wish I knew how to describe them... They're chewy, but not gummy bear chewy. More of StarBurst, but more... crumbly? I don't know how to describe them... If I could give you one, I would. (just not the black current... for those I fight you to the death)

Sherlock Holmes: The Boys Are Back

XD Have I mentioned that I LOVE Sherlock Holmes??
... If not, I fire me...
Also I need to mention BBC's newest version of SH.
Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Really great stuff. Only three episodes so far though... But each one is 90 mins, so....

quotiness

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ~Theodore Roosevelt

"Doesn’t matter what the press says. Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - 'No, you move.”
~Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man #537

bias much?

So, I was reading an article, Mental illness and leadership.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904800304576474451102761640.html?mod=WSJ_Books_LS_Books_5

It talks about how when things are normal, you need normal people running the country. But when things are odd, you need people who are odd, because they will think of new creative solutions. I can agree with that. But this sentence just made me stop.

"'Normal' nondepressed persons have what psychologists call "positive illusion"—that is, they possess a mildly high self-regard, a slightly inflated sense of how much they control the world around them.

Mildly depressed people, by contrast, tend to see the world more clearly, more as it is."

So... the world is really more horrible then we'd all like to believe?? I disagree, but even if that statement is true... bias much?
And also... Mildly depressed... Depressed.
depressed |diˈprest|
adjective
(of a person) in a state of general unhappiness or despondency.

So if we were all unhappy, the world would be a happier place??
Sure... whatever you say...

(On a side note, I bought Portal http://store.steampowered.com/app/400/ And it's fun. :3)
