Geeky Pleasures

There is a least one person who reads this blog who will whoop with laughter at this post. I just finished watching an episode of "Doctor Who". I am not the biggest sci fi fan - my far out fiction joys tends to come from the "bodice rippers" and chick lit that I devour like snack food. But there is one show that I have loved since childhood. I have dreamt of stepping into the Tardis and taking a trip in time like the Doctor and his companions.

I have not spent much time with the Doctor lately, but every so often, I am up late and catch the show on one of the local public television stations. That's what happened tonight and my eyes were just glued!

One of the conventions of the show is that every so often, the Doctor changes form - giving the show the opportunity to recast the part. The latest Doctor is soooooo cute. Christopher Eccelston is his name - so delightful. The Ninth Doctor may indeed be my favorite. I was totally ga ga for, like the sixth doctor ( I think it was the sixth - some time in the eighties when I was a teenager)... and now frankly I'm a little ga ga for this one too.

cuuuute!

Like I said in the title... geeky.

Good Night Y'all.

The Petsmart puppy commercial

Why do some commercials make an impression and others dont? I have a new favorite commerical - Petsmart has a commercial where a couple comes home and tells thier pet bulldog that they brought him something. Then they sit down a trembling puppy bulldog in front of him and say "A sister." The bulldog stares and then pushes his little red chew toy toward his new sister and she chops down on it. A friendship commences. I LOVE THAT!

I don't know why it touches me like it does but it does.

Snow Patrol

Wonkette covers it better than I could...

DC always just FALLS APART when it snows. Snow just makes me want to go to bed with a good book and eat cheetos.

Oh No! Snow!

Happy Birthday, Johnny.

You asked me what I want this year
And I'll try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
... so take these words...
...and sing out loud...


::sigh:: Happy Birthday John Rzeznik

Back to the Future...

I was surfing the net this evening, reading the ABC soaps site... I have a friend who recently started a stint on one of the shows. I saw a link for the Luke and Laura 25th anniversary. I went through the pages and it brought back so many memories!

It was like having a virtual family reunion. Every weekday afternoon at 3pm, I joined my television family in Port Charles, NY. General Hospital became an essential part of my life. When I was 11 years old, I sat in front of the TV and cried and cried during the television wedding of Luke and Laura. I dreamt of being Laura - swept away by love, adventure and romance. This was the era of Princess Diana and my discovery of romance novels.

I still believe in romance. I still believe in happily ever after. Whether I find it in the movies, on TV, in the pages of a novel or in my arms for real... I know I will have it.
