the doctor cleans the railroad geekily
Finally I'm once again up to date on the a) cleaning, b) laundry and c) "Doctor Who". The latter so much so that I saw it last night, whee.
Those weeping angels still are really scary -- such a brilliant concept when it comes to scariness. I like the new episodes, with their little details, like "Broadsword to Danny Boy!" in the Dalek episode, hilarious. And that was a brilliant concept to, the theme of that episode, no spoilers. But the best part, of course, is that we once again have a continuous swathe of "Doctor Who", with a new episode each week. Aaah, that's how it's supposed to be!
Now I've just got to catch up on "Confidential" too. And clean some more but that's just too boring for words.
Yesterday was a really geeky day, when I look back on it. Star Treff 52, the first one in ages I went to without working at all. The theme was mostly re-mastered TOS, with some new FX like pretty planets and galactic swirls instead of the old hokey paint-jobs in the original original series. And amped up sound whenever it got slightly suspenseful or actiony, painful. Good to see so much of Kirk et al., the old episodes are still fun!
Then a short tolkienist meeting and then home for a whole evening of 2nd and 11th Doctor. Good way to end a week that included two days of really cold weather out on the railroad to Lysekil, and two days of conferences. Next week: more Lysekil, a railroad safety course, possible vacation on Friday, and far too many deadlines pressed into the remaining day and a bit. Arrgh.
Okay, hands up, who got the reference to Broadsword and Danny Boy?
