I don't really know how to deal with jet lag, but I know how NOT to deal with it from a school trip to France. We arrived mid-morning after 20 hours in the air. We went to the hotel where I THOUGHT we would get a chance for a quick nap before doing whatever we were going to do that afternoon -- but NO! The teachers in charge made us walk all over Paris for hours and hours on end. Naturally I was incredibly ill the next day, and one of the teachers had the nerve to say she had no idea why -- it's because I went 36 hours with no sleep!!!

I guess I'm still mad about that, huh. Anyway, accept that your brain will fail to function for several days. There's not much to do about it.

Great interview, Nikki! I love reading anything about Constance Wu, and even more so when she's interviewed by such a great writer :)

This series is my absolute favourite published on the Toast.

My recommendation for further reviews: Under the Skin (the book, the movie is a little vague about its meat processing).

Ahh, I watched that YouTube clip and realised I used to watch this show all the time! Only it was when I was little and I didn't quite realise it wasn't serious. Memories

The Parthenon was also used as a (Catholic?) church for quite some time.

There used to be a wasps nest in the air conditioner in my bedroom. It was supposedly sorted out before I took the room, but every now and then I'd find a dead wasp in the window sill. A while ago, the house was painted, and the painters found the enormous, (thankfully) abandoned nest still there, and took it down. It looked terrifying. Not like the one in that picture though.

I'm cautiously optimistic about a few things - I really like Capaldi as the Doctor so far, and Clara seems to have stronger characterisation - but I have felt the same way before and been very disappointed, so. I doubt I'll ever be able to stop watching though. It's still fun, even if so much of it is so so annoying.
