Why must it be dreary?<\/p>\n
Rain today. Rain yesterday. Rain Sunday. Rain, rain, rain.<\/p>\n
And no thundrous drumming from Ringo Starr, either.<\/p>\n
Rain.<\/p>\n
Doctor Who<\/i>‘s fourth season has begun.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, it began with something light and fluffy. After wrecking on the emotional shoals from Torchwood<\/i>‘s “Exit Wounds,” the screwball comedy nature of Who<\/i>‘s “Partners in Crime” was a welcome change.<\/p>\n

I wrote several years ago about my theory on Anakin Skywalker’s parentage<\/a>.<\/p>\n Over the weekend the number of hits on that post exploded<\/i>.<\/p>\n I presume that some television network, somewhere, showed The Phantom Menace<\/i> over the weekend.<\/p>\n To my surprise, I still have a reader in China.<\/p>\n I am also very popular in Britain, India, Estonia, France, and Sweden.<\/p>\n Also, Indiana.<\/p>\n I saw the new Hellboy II<\/i> trailer over the weekend. It is tres<\/i> awesome.<\/p>\n I don’t know why I threw in a French modifier. It’s not like Hellboy has anything to do with France.<\/p>\n In descending order, the comic book films I’m looking forward to this summer:<\/p>\n The first two are fairly well bunched together. Iron Man<\/i> I’m curious about, but I’m also a bit indifferent about. Hulk<\/i> I care about not at all.<\/p>\n I anxious await the arrival of Austin Torney’s new novel, Star Trek: The Death Wave<\/i><\/a> at my door.<\/p>\n Dreary.<\/p>\n And it’s only Tuesday<\/i>. :\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why must it be dreary?
