In a world where money can’t buy love and kittens have dominated the Internet, there is an aspiring writer who questions life’s randomness while attempting to hold onto logic. As for the sanity, well that’s been lost, but who needs it anyway?
You know how some people aren’t into the holidays or Christmas at all?
What if there was Crispmas? A time of the year to forget all the holiday malarkey and celebrate crispy, deep fried food. Fried chicken? Hell yeah. Deep fried Oreos? You bet. Fried asparagus? Aw yeah. And don’t forget about fried rice, fried pickles, and everything else that can be fried. It’d be a holiday especially celebrated to replace Christmas and the other holidays of that month. And people could have festive parties where all the food is deep fried. Except for beverages because that would be kind of weird and impossible, I guess? Unless it’s deep fried water which can be done. But this holiday can be revered all year! Every time you eat something fried it’s just one step closer to Crispmas - a deep fried holiday extravaganza.
Samurai Jack, Bill Nye, and Ms.Frizzle on Your Screen
Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.
This year is going to be explosive for sentimental people. Some of television’s best shows that kept us hanging on the edge of our seats or educated us in our childhoods are making a comeback. It’s funny in knowing that the shows we grew up with will now also entertain a whole new generation.
“Samurai Jack” will return on Adult Swim on March 11rd, 2017 at 11 pm. The limited series picks up fifty years after the original final episode, wherein time no longer has any effect on Jack. The world still suffers from Aku’s wrath in the past, present, and even the future. Aku now has a cult with the sole mission of eliminating Samurai Jack who must return to the past.
Following the return of the iconic samurai is a certain science guy reinforcing global warming, science, biology, and a ton of other topics. “Bill Nye Saves the World” will be appearing on Netflix on April 21st, 2017 and feature guest celebrities joining Bill Nye in a scientific conquest. Some guests will be Donald Faison, Zach Braff, Wil Wheaton, and many others.
Lastly, “The Magic School Bus: Rides Again” is back to take us for an animated knowledgeable journey. Kate McKinnon will give voice to Ms. Frizzle later this year on Netflix.
As soon as these shows come on my inner child will go wild with elation and nostalgia. Here’s hoping the new generation will enjoy these shows as much as we did.

So tell me, what show are you most excited for?
So numerous scientific Twitter pages have gone “rogue” to protest Trump’s administration. NASA is one of those pages. NASA is a space division with a “rogue” Twitter page. Does that mean it’s a Rogue One?
A Farewell to Doctors
Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.
This has been a rough patch for Whovians with the death of John Hurt on January 25th, 2017 and now the departure of Peter Capaldi after this upcoming season of “Doctor Who”.
Both men played wonderful doctors – John Hurt’s War Doctor questioned his regenerations in “The Day of the Doctor” special. Peter Capaldi followed Matt Smith’s Doctor with an older, brooding gentleman who always tried to learn more about himself. While we only saw John Hurt’s War Doctor for this special (and a brief appearance in the Matt Smith episode prior to the special), his appearance alone was enough to make us wonder about the Doctor. Where did this War Doctor fit in? How did he endure the Gallifreyian War? Did he really have a mid life crisis?
Along with playing the War Doctor, John Hurt also took on the role of Ollivander from the “Harry Potter” movies, he played himself in “Space Balls”, provided the voice of Aragorn from “Lord of the Rings”, and gave voice to the Horned King from “The Black Cauldron”. He also lent his voice to the Dragon from the series “Merlin”, starred in “V for Vendetta” as Chancellor Sutler, and played Trevor ‘Broom’ Bruttenholm in “Hellboy”.
John Hurt was an eclectic actor who was the youngest of his siblings in Derbyshire, England. Despite showing little initiative and solitude as a child, he was guided into art. However, his admiration for acting took hold and pursued the field after failing to receive a scholarship in art. John Hurt embraced television and with it exposed his acting capabilities to an extreme level.
Peter Capaldi’s acting abilities bear the same extremity, especially when portraying the Doctor. His cynicism, his slowly warming heart, and his nail biting bluntness have created a unique Doctor. Albeit, there were a slew of comedic moments from him most met with sarcasm and a witty tone which is something that will be missed as he takes his leave of the Doctor.
Peter will be departing from “Doctor Who” at the end of 2017 with the Christmas special as his final performance. When the BBC asked Capaldi if they could renew his contract for the show, Capaldi declined and claimed that it was time to move onto different things. While this appears to be a common reason for Doctors to retire, it is understandable. As much as we adore the actors who play the Doctor, at some point they want something more than running around chasing aliens, befriending companions, and travelling through all of time and space. It’s time for a change and a new regeneration for Peter Capaldi.

So tell me, did you enjoy the John Hurt’s War Doctor or Peter Capaldi’s Doctor more?
Finding Strength in Trump’s Reign
Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.
Tomorrow marks the rise of a man I never thought would become our president. A man who has implied that he would have relations with his daughter, a person so persistent to shape the country in his image regardless of the damage it will bring, a being so vile and uninformed, that his cabinet is filled with people sharing his unfortunate attributes. I think we all know who I’m referring to and it’s incredibly terrifying to know that we have come this far in this election.
There have been rumors escalating of Trump eliminating the National Arts Program. It’s even more horrifying to know that this program, along with the tons of others, would be cut. Destroying the National Arts Program, defunding Planned Parenthood, demolishing NASA’s global warming research. These are all notions he wishes to execute for whatever reason he believes. It’s a mortifying transition, but we need to hold on and live the best way we can. I have never delved into politics, but now I honestly wonder: why did we allow this to happen? What more could we have done than to vote and protest our beliefs in this world?
I still don’t understand how it’s come to this. What choice do we have but to live with it and try to voice our opinion when we can? We have a right to our voices – Trump cannot take this away from us. We can craft art without funding and do what we can to make it amazing in our (and hopefully others’) eyes. We can still retain our beliefs and facts and absolute science that global warming is real. Our health is something that we so desperately need to survive in this cruel world with the short lives we have. We will accept the best health there is in this newfound Trumpland that we are being plunged into.
We must remember that no one can take ourselves away regardless of our gender, sexual orientation, and who we firmly believe we are. Not even someone as ungodly powerful as Trump can break us or tell us who to be. We know who we are, so let’s embrace them wholeheartedly. From this, we can gather any strength we can, to walk on through life in these years to come. Be strong and be ourselves – it’s a way to live for the better, despite what the future may bring.

So tell me, what will you do to become stronger?
My Strange Emotions
Oneshot. It was the very first time she had noticed him. It was in a way that, much like her, was unexpected and fiery.
This ship is going to kill me.
In the first season, the Janitor was written as a figment of JD’s imagination. As the season grew, writers slowly started to slip the Janitor into interacting with other characters albeit very mildly. Examples of this include: Elliot angrily apologizing to him when she threw a coffee cup into his work area and Dr. Cox calling JD “Scooter” – a nickname the Janitor had formulated for him; how else could Cox have known about it given that all he calls JD are women’s names?
What if the Janitor wasn’t a figment of JD’s imagination in season 1 and was actually someone working there at the start of the first season. More so, this is about the time when Elliot first unintentionally noticed him in the episode “My Bad” - Season 1, Episode 6.
Thank you for reading and enjoy. :D
