I thought we were a season behind here, but I just saw a commercial for the new season of Dr. Who on Space - Saturdays at 8.

[edit] - confirmed via my series recording set up on the DVR

Hey Beck (and all other Doctor fans), what channel does it play on? ... or does it? CBC's online info only goes to season 4-ish, with no mention of Matt Smith at all. Seeing as I only get my television through stealing things on the internet or by buying dvd box sets, I'm totally out of the loop in this regard. ... but it'll be Easter, and I don't feel right stealing tv on the internet at my parents' house, particularly if I can watch it on the REAL tv....



Oh, and... NEIL GAIMAN WROTE EPISODE 4 OF SEASON 6 I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Info and a whole comic-con panel discussion with Neil Gaiman and other Dr Who-related people here. Gaiman's description starting at ~9:00 min is pretty cool.




... and, uh, speaking of David Tennant and Neil Gaiman, here's Neil Gaiman writing Hamlet's big "To be or not to be" soliloquy as spoken by Tennant's Dr Who:
"To be, or not to be, that is the question. Weeelll.... More of A question really. Not THE question. Because, well, I mean, there are billions and billions of questions out there, and well, when I say billions, I mean, when you add in the answers, not just the questions, weeelll, you're looking at numbers that are positively astronomical and... for that matter the other question is what you lot are doing on this planet in the first place, and er, did anyone try just pushing this little red button?"

Speaking of The Doctor - the series returns next Saturday!

Would the Doctor really help a Dalek? ... even a pretend Dalek? Or would he, like Lucy, throw a football at it, and the run off to romance a piano player?

BEER!!!
Not sure if any of you take part in any of those stupid new marketing campaigns like swarmjam or groupon, but one just pulled me in. Its on swarmjam.com. ( I feel like I'm selling my soul by writing this!) Its a $25 voucher for Sherbrooke liquor for $12.50. Apparently the offer is only available till Sunday. If you don't want to sign up, but are interested, let me know and I'll pick one up for you.

A disappearing pen, as stolen by the Czech President, was big news... apparently.

Matty, did I ever say I disliked it? It IS weird to watch, and I don't feel like I've missed out on television, but that doesn't mean I don't watch it occasionally. I don't hate the channel, I just don't feel like it's necessarily adding anything important (or beneficial) to my life.

What I find most disappointing about 'reality' tv is when the 3 minute promo actually covers all the interesting bits of the tv show. ... kind of like when movie trailers compile all the really funny jokes etc. and the rest of the show isn't worth the 12 bucks you pay to get in the door. Why waste the time and money when they're curating the best parts and showing them to you for free?




Some dude just took a photo of the dumpster out back of my apartment building. At 11:40 pm. Weird.
