Ah, Doctor! I was afraid you'd be worried about me, so I thought I'd let you know I'm alive and well. I'm extremely sorry to hear that.

Galdrakver (‘Little Book Of Magic’) The ‘Little Book Of Magic’ is a seventeenth-century Icelandic manuscript, written on animal skin and containing magical staves, sigils, prayers, charms and related texts.

It is known to have once been owned by Icelandic Bishop Hannes Finnson who was alive from 1739 until 1796 and known for having a vast library containing many volumes of magic related texts and manuscripts. Full manuscript here.

one detail i love in Doctor Who season 7 is how, whenever the Doctor wants to get on the Brigadier's good side, he'll bring up "all the years we've known each other" or "all the years we've worked together"

Which is true for the Brigadier — from his perspective he's known the Doctor for at least half a decade — but not for the Doctor, who's only known the Brig for a couple of months.

The funniest part about this is that it's not even like the Doctor's being sneaky about it; The last time they met before the Doctor's exile, Jamie told the Brig point blank that it'd only been a couple weeks for them since they first met, so every time the Doctor pulls out the "all the years we've known each other" card the Brig knows he's bullshitting him.

I think this is vital to their dynamic

Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.   What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.   Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.   David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.   While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.   I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.   His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.   I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.   David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.
