Still mildly underwhelmed with this season of Doctor Who. I've always known that Ten is just as cracked as Nine was, but I don't think I've ever really grokked why. I mean, I understood what Nine's damage was and knew when to expect him to go off. I could always read the signs. But I don't grok Ten, so it never fails to surprise me when he goes ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a long day. Started with an impression that I might have a gas leak. Checked the stove and water heater. All lights lit. Went to work, had Da go check it out. He reassured me that he can detect no odor of natural gas. I went on with my day. Returned home, discovered that you can smell the frakking gas from outside the house. ( Read more... )

Have been incommunicado for a while. After three days stuck at home with no car and no internet, I've watched an insane amount of History International and HGTV. To the extent that I'm considering redecorating my living room in a Zen theme with Egyptian accessories and possibly a Trojan horse or some cute little wall sconces. And then there's my ( Read more... )

Except, perhaps, for the moment in the 4D movie in which Nieceling #2 completely freaked out at being spritzed in the face, having air puffed at the back of her neck, electric fish with great big teeth flying straight at her, and me flailing beside her because I swear something smacked me on the ( Read more... )

Just a brief note on SGA, but I think they ought to sign Kate Hewlett for at least two episodes every season. Hee!

The Dorklings were their typically amusing selves this weekend. ( Snippets )

Random weekend television:
SG1 - Still haven't seen it. But there's Ba'al, the only Goa'uld in the history of ever to have a modicum of fashion sense, so it can't be all bad.
SGA - A one hour demonstration of the principle: Ronon is good at killing things. Not much by way of plot, but lots of exploding fun anyway. There are worse ways to spend ( Read more... )

Quick weekend television review. And Monday.

Kolchak - If Carl Kolchak and John Winchester aren't hunting buddies, then at the very least, they run in the same circles and piss off all the same people with their obsessiveness.
SG1 - First episode in... er, a year and a half to hold my attention. Daniel-Disneyworld. Heh.
SGA - First episode in ( Read more... )

Have given up blithering about television for a while. The only shows I'm currently enjoying (Eureka and Psych, cute and hilarious respectively), I have no desire to analyse. And I suspect that over-analysis has been at least part of the reason I'm no longer entirely enjoying some of the shows I previously did. So, on the whole, I think we'll ( Read more... )
