Doctor Who #4
Last night I re watched a very old video of Doctor Who and the Terror of the Zygons. The tape was not very clear in some places, but we were able to see enough and hear enough of the story to follow it. VHS tapes don't last too well when they are over 20 years old. Sad, but true. Tom Baker was my very favourite Doctor! He was funny, and could ( Read more... ) -
Doctor Who/Professor What on YouTube
I have been searching YouTube for entertaining videos of Doctor Who, and have found a neat parody of Doctor Who called "Professor What". I have watched quite a few of these videos, and have enjoyed the Professor's adventures in time and space! Like the Doctor, the Professor is a Time Lord, and travels through time and space in a TARDIS. There ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year! 2016, here I come!
Wow, I love starting a new year! The year of the Ram is coming to an end, and soon, the year of the Monkey will start! I've applied to help ESL students at U-Vic with conversation in English.

All I want to do is sleep, and I don't think I ( Read more... ) -

It was similar to the stuff you get from Publisher's Clearing House, only this stuff was supposedly details for a lottery, or lotteries in ( Read more... ) -
The music of falling rain
It has been almost 4 months since we've had rain in Victoria! Oh the joy I felt when I woke up and heard the raindrops falling heavily on the water-starved ground at 3:40 AM! I just listened to the music of the falling rain, and thanked God for hearing our prayers. We have been hearing about wildfires all over the province, and how difficult it ( Read more... ) -
the wonder of humming birds
I was on the back porch of our house, looking after my potted vegetable plants, when a tiny Anna's Humming bird came flying over to see me. It was wanting to inspect my Zinnia flowers, so I said, "Help yourself, little bird." The little bird hovered over first one flower, then another as it sipped sweet nectar from the centers, and the little ( Read more... ) -
