Saw this in the Radio Times Interview with Matt Smith...
I was thinking, ‘Who in the world has a brain and a silliness which is close to the Doctor?’ and then I saw that photograph of Albert Einstein poking his tongue out and it just clicked. I found this book of quotes by Einstein - which I recommend as a life choice, he was such an insightful man - and I started writing short stories about Einstein and the Doctor, where the Doctor was getting irritated with the great man’s buffoonery. He’d be saying, ‘Come on, Albert, keep up!’ and I think that, more than anything, was my way in to the part.
Dear GOD! I want to read Matt Smith's fan fiction! XD And I don't usually want to read fan fiction. I think I'm going to photo shop a scene from it...

Oh, and in further news...
Today both chefs decided not to turn up. I rang my dad and he said that it would be pointless to stay open if I was all on my own. So I came home.
Now, the Job Centre says they will pay up to £300 for new *cough* 'work clothes' for me if I send them the receipts and forms. *cracks knuckles* well, this job isn't likely to last much longer, so I'd better get some of those SHINY TROUSERS I've been looking at.
