Okay, so it was a cold, and I took a couple days off from dayjob, which I totally needed. Back today - a full day today, then tomorrow we close at noon and I head off to NYC ( Read more... )

I have now seen an eviscerated version of Maurice (1987), that is the beginning up to early stages of Maurice's (James Whilby) relationship with Clive (Hugh Grant), then skipping to the fun bits where Alec Scudder (Rupert Graves) shows up.

I was still a bit sore yesterday because I stepped up workouts, just a little, on Monday and Tuesday. So I went out to lunch with a friend instead of eating at my desk, and after work I went home and got my tax documents ready to mail to the preparer, while watching the first episode of Garrow's Law.

"The Mind Robber" is probably the wackiest Patrick Troughton episode of Dr. Who. It's amusing to watch the documentaries on the official DVD and learn not all the surrealism was intended--a different guy played Jamie (with manufactured plot reason) for an episode or so because Frazer Hines caught chicken pox, and the excellently creepy first ( Read more... )

"Eureka" is Greek for "this bath is too hot." --The Doctor

I have ten minutes in which to comment on this episode before it's back to the grind....

"The Talons of Weng-Chiang"The main thing that puzzles me about this episode is why did they cast a white guy in makeup as the lead Chinese character? The various Limehouse thugs are all actual ( Read more... )
