"Finally! Benedict Cumberbatch Live From The Red Carpet At The #goldenglobes ” [x]

Transcript of Martin Freeman’s reply to “Has any childhood experience influenced your success as an actor” 19.07.15

Martin Freeman:

I can’t think of one time, but I do... as a kid I was ill, I was small , my parents where divorced, I was the youngest of five.

You know, I don’t wanna paint myself as a Dickens victim, but I was not an Alpha male.

So you have to find other ways to, you know, succeedig I guess. I wasn’t able to beat anyone up at the playground, but I could make people laugh.

And I found that you can... you can get through in other ways. I was in and out of hospital for various things as a kid an I do think it really strenghtened me.

You know, I wouldn’t wish hospital on any child, but when things are difficult, when things aren’t ideal... well the old saying “ what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is very, very true and I think... I dunno wether those things mean... that means I’m successful.

I knew that life wasn’t going to... Even I’ve been lucky, but I knew that life just wasn’t going to give me a free path and everything was gonna fall into my lap. You have to work, but you have to also be sensitive and open and just recognize opportunities and things and people. And which people are good for you and which aren’t good for you.

But I know I always felt that I was a little kid with a dodgy leg and dodgy teeth and my parents where divorced - which wasn’t very common in an English Catholic school .

I kind of... I quite liked beeing a bit outside of all, I quite enjoyed that and I think that might have helped.

Note: I’m not quite sure about some parts of that answer but I did my best to write down what Martin said :)

I miss Scott up there!

Fun Moments with Our Record Breaking Astronaut

Astronaut Scott Kelly has broken the record for longest time spent in space by a U.S. astronaut. He has spent a cumulative of 383 days in space over the course of four missions. What better way to celebrate than to highlight some of his fun moments on the internet:

A question from the president during a recent TweetChat:

Astronaut Scott Kelly occasionally hosts TweetChats from the International Space Station. During a recent chat, he happened to get a question from someone who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! HERE’s a recap from a similar chat from the station. 

Tackling the tough questions during interviews:

During an interview with Katie Couric, Kelly explained what a day on the space station is really like…including the chores he can and can’t do. 

The pros and cons of having roommates:

The International Space Station is an orbiting laboratory where an international crew live, work and conduct valuable research. 

Getting supplies from cargo ships:

Living on the space station requires food, water and supplies. All of these things, plus experiments and other essentials are delivered to the crew via cargo ship. Learn more about our commercial resupply program HERE.

Ein Anliegen welches mir sehr am Herzen liegt:

Seit wann ist es zum Massensport geworden, einen Menschen gleich zu verurteilen, nur weil Ermittler unbedingt schnell einen Täter für einen Mord finden wollen?!

Ja es ist schlimm das ein Kind vergewaltigt und nur 11 Jare alt wird, aber welchen Preis muss dieser Junge Mann zahlen, dass er aufgrund von Zeugenaussagen öffentlich angeprangert wird. Aber abwarten ob z.B eine DNA Analyse beweist das er die Tat begangen hat, das wäre ja nicht nötig gewesen. Es gilt ja nur: beruighe den schreienden, wütenden Mob, gib ihnen einen Schuldigen, koste es was es wolle...

So etwas nenne ich den sozialen Tod, denn sein Ruf ist unwiederuflich geschädigt!!!

Wer immer er auch ist, nein ich kenne seinen Namen nicht und bin auch froh das er mich nicht wirklich interessiert hat, er hat mein aufrichtiges Mitgefühl und ich wünsche ihm, dass er stark genug ist, sich den Respekt seiner Mitmenschen wieder zu erlangen.

For my international follower: I don't think that I'm able to translate it into English. For questions about what happened, feel free to write me a PM. 

To say one thing, it is about a young man, who was a suspect in a homicide case in Germany who was declared innocent, but his name was spread via social network before. His life is unbelievably difficult now... 

This damn cold muddled my brain. I’m sure that I missed half of the interesting things in the Sherlock fandom... Now I’m slowly getting out of my bed and try to do some housework. Ugh.

It's finally there: A new chapter of my story!

Thank you throppsicle for being my beta and for your advice!

I agree!

I wonder, who could be interested in writing some gelphie-fanfic as if in the end of the forth book Glinda wouldn’t die but was saved by Elphaba from prison (she was brought to life with Mombey’s…

These pictures are one of the best I ever seen from Space! I consider printing some of them on a canvas.

OMG me too!

Don’t tell me I was the only one thinking this when seeing this picture.

#a day full of murder makes the boredom go down #the boredom go down-wown #the boredom go down

Oh Oz thank you! And I just laughed so hard that I nearly fell of my stool ;) It is priceless!

This but a tiny piece - the very beginning - of Chapter 16. It is my attempt to make up for the fact that I’m so bad at being timely in the posting of my chapters, even after leaving my readers with the worst cliffhanger ever.

As per usual, I do not own Wicked. However, this...
