Steven Weber (Studio 60) on Paris Hilton: As my friend Adam says, don't read this as a position paper, rather, read it as word jazz. I'm dazzled. Had no idea he could write this way.

Nancy Greggs on God, the Republicans, and the Democrats: A pretty cogent and poignant position.

For those who are keeping up with the third season of Doctor Who and ( Read more... )

This is what I get for being a new-school Doctor Who fan. Why didn't anyone ever tell me that the Beatles made an appearance on Doctor Who?

So SciFi is running a Galactica marathon this coming Friday. (See schedule here.) Are these episodes all the second half of season 2? (I came to the show late; I've seen the first season and the first half of the second, care of markbourne.) Furthermore, since I haven't yet seen the second half of season 2, and since calling in sick that day for a TV ( Read more... )

Missed the showing of Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion on SciFi last night, so when I got home from the office (9:45 PM), I popped in my DVD of the Children In Need special (care of drewshi, bless him), and then my DVD of Christmas Invasion (care of twilight2000, bless her) and indulged. So much fun. We were all correct to be excited about Tennant as the Doctor. It ( Read more... )

Just caught this update from Outpost Gallifrey, and it looks like they might be showing "The Christmas Invasion" after all:

Series Two in the US in October? Cinescape reports that the series will make its second season debut alongside the new season of "Battlestar Galactica" when the latter returns to the Sci Fi Channel in October. These are ( Read more... )

Had a story bounced yesterday. It went out to the next market this morning. Go me!

Saw Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest tonight with CM and had an absolute blast. Yes, the movie is too long, and no, I don't think they could have convoluted the plot anymore than they did, but I had a helluva good time anyway. As dianora2 observed, suddenly ( Read more... )

The week has flown. That being the case, here are short notes on events:

July Fourth with ironymaiden, her C, and butterflydrming (among others) was just what I'd hoped for: a small barbecue, and then fireworks viewing from Miss Drming's office window overlooking Elliott Bay. We had what amounted to front row seats, and I could feel the building shake with each burst ( Read more... )

Since matociquala has formally forbidden us all to say that we suck, I can't say that or anything like it this evening. The temptation to say such (and therefore the necessity to resist it) is a result of the accumulation of the following evidence ( Read more... )

Tonight I decided that, after having watched "Bad Wolf" in broadcast a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to watch "The Parting of the Ways" on DVD, first without, then with commentary (finally ( Read more... )

Interviews went well, I think, though I'm on the fence about whether or not I'm going to get this job. I bring some of the required skills in abundance. Some of the required skills I have little or no experience in. I know for a fact that they're preparing to interview four other candidates for the position, and so we move on. Big eastside job has ( Read more... )
