I woke this morning… …and had no idea what day it was. The idea that today was Tuesday was simple inconceivable to me. I don’t know what day I thought it was, but Tuesday it was not. Could it be that I got up with the alarm, rather than hit the Snooze button the two,Continue reading “On the Tuesday Feeling”

On “Journey’s End” and My Daft Theories
So, now I’ve seen it. Doctor Who. “Journey’s End.” Last week I posted some theories. “The Stolen Earth,” the fourth season’s penultimate episode, posed a number of questions, and suggested certain possibilities, and I offered my thoughts on what everything meant, and where “Journey’s End” would likely go. Much to my surprise, Jamie McCrimmon didContinue reading “On “Journey’s End” and My Daft Theories”
On Entertainment Weekly’s Movie Meme
Below is the Entertainment Weekly‘s list of 100 Classic Movies of the past 25 years. Bold the ones you’ve seen, underline the ones you plan to.
On Why I Hate Fox Sports
Earth to Fox Sports: Does anyone really want to spend their afternoons watching a Yankees/Red Sox game? Especially when neither team is in first place in their division? Especially when one of those teams is pretty fucking woeful? I’d much rather watch the Cubs/Cardinals game. Not just because it’s the Cubs, but because there areContinue reading “On Why I Hate Fox Sports”
On Jesse Helms
Former North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms died this morning. And as it’s bad form to speak ill of the dead, I’ll leave it at that.
On June’s Greatest Hits
Now that we’re into July, let’s take a look at what people wanted to know from me in the month of June. 5. “Stephen Fry Doctor Who.” Stephen Fry was asked to write a script for Doctor Who‘s second season. Then it became the third season. It might have involved Vikings, or possibly King Arthur,Continue reading “On June’s Greatest Hits”
On This Day In Blog History
A meme, because I can’t think of anything else to write. 😉 (Actually, that’s not true. I wrote a blog post on the subway this morning. I just haven’t typed it up yet.) 3 July 2008 — That would be this. 3 July 2007 — On Doctor Who Podcasts, wherein I discuss my discovery ofContinue reading “On This Day In Blog History”
On Things I’ve Been Reading
Well, okay, one thing. I’ve gotten behind on my comic book reading. You’d think, those little twenty-odd page pamphlets would be a breeze to just sit down, kick back, and go. Life doesn’t always happen like that, though. However, I did just pick up something, and I read it on the light rail this evening.Continue reading “On Things I’ve Been Reading”
On Daft Doctor Who Theories
Doctor Who fandom is beside itself, trying to read the tea-leaves, trying to predict “Journey’s End.” And that means theorizing. Oh, it’s a capital mistake to theorize in advance of the evidence, and it’s doubly daft to theorize in defiance of the evidence, but that’s never stopped anyone. Least of all me. Yet, sometimes, evenContinue reading “On Daft Doctor Who Theories”
On 100 Books, Some Read & Some Not
A books meme! Too many people I know have done this in the past twenty-four hours for me to cite any one particular influence. This is a list of 100 of the top books of all time. The average person has read 6. The rules: 1) Look at the list and bold those you haveContinue reading “On 100 Books, Some Read & Some Not”
