I never got into dr. Who. I did like red dwarf. And black adder.
I am more of a comedy watcher.

No...perhaps I just don't have that child's sense of wonder anymore. Although some would say I never had it. I was born old. Like Benjamin Button!

I tried during law school. It was fun to go to tournaments and be on fields alongside hulking teen-aged boys in pads and stuff- bunches of lesbians playing rugby with nothing next to suited up young guys who had on a lot of protection.

That's so interesting because with the newer episodes, I don't feel comfortable letting my eight year old watch it. I think it must be my American sensibilities LOL.

It was but the Doctor always won even though you had to wait a week to find out. Thats why there are all the old jokes about watching it behind the sofa. The new series even had a sofa-a-meter where kids could rate it.
I could n't sleep for a few nights because of this robot who could disintergrate walls. I kept seeing him in the walls of the house.
Also the actors playing the Dr were older gentlemen quite grandfatherly.
Thanks for this!

I really look forward to introducing it to my son. He's finally getting old enough to introduce more sci-fi to. I've shown him some Star Trek and Stargate.

Arrgh! Even though my ex has the girls for this week I still have to pick them up and take them places because the ex is so unreliable the girls don't trust him not to forget them.

Hmm.

I sort of want to pour myself a glass of wine and wander downstairs and play on the XBox for an hour before making dinner.

I did a play through of Mass Effect (first time) and I look forward to ME2 and ME3 getting backwards compatibility to the XBox One. Buuuuuut in the mean time I will have to entertain myself by playing Dragon Age Inquisition. Agaaaaaaaaiin (like for the tenth time. OH THE HUMANITY hehehehe).

Remind me! Are you a fan then? Dragon Age is probably my favorite series of video games.

No...but you've mentioned wanting to make DAI jokes before, and I hate to see good humor go to waste.

I talked about getting a light lamp in therapy today...T1 said that his wife has been helped tremendously by one. The more it rains (it's been days...and it looks like it's going through Friday), the harder it is to get up and do anything.
