Want to friend me here on lj?  No problem!  But if you want a friend back just drop me a line somewhere so A) I notice you've friended me and B) I know you' ( Read more... )

Sorry Zhie, probably made you think this might have something to do with hobbits.  Nope, it's about knitting (which I firmly believe hobbits do a lot of).  Well, knitting and how I really ought to update this blog more.  Internet or no internet, I should still be able to post at least once a week if I write the entry in advance and post it during ( Read more... )

Doctor Who: The Stealers of Dreams by Steve Lyons. HC, 254 pages, BBC Books, 2005.

The Ninth Doctor, together with companions Rose and Captain Jack, travel into the far future, but it doesn't seem that much like the future. It's much more like a 1984 future on another planet -- everybody wears gray, no fiction is allowed, there's fossil fuels, ( Read more... )

These four K-9 children's books were included as PDFs on the DVD release of The Invisible Enemy/K-9 & Company.  I decided to count them all as one review because they are so short.  (Of course I might change my mind on that if I come up 3 reviews short in December...)
