Brought to You by La Gestión Turismo de Sevilla Feb 04 2018 2nd Doctor 6th Doctor Jamie McCrimmon Peri Brown My arm is marginally better today. If I wasn't traveling to Colorado in two days I wouldn't be worried at all, but as it is I am probably going to go see a doctor tomorrow just in case. I don't want to be stuck in the Rocky Mountains for a week wishing I had seen a doctor before I left. Then again, I guess if I need something to help me relax in Denver... Anyway, I also watched the last part of The Two Doctors today, so let's talk about that. Read more ...
Less Barber of Seville, More Sweeny Todd Feb 03 2018 2nd Doctor 6th Doctor Jamie McCrimmon Peri Brown Whatever the heck I did to my right arm, it doesn't seem to be improving much. It feels like I tweaked a nerve, and depending on what I am doing and how long since my last dose of ibuprofen, it is either mostly ok or else all tingly and muscle-achy and my right index finger goes numb. So that's not a good sign. If it hasn't radically improved by Monday morning I may have to make a trip to Urgent Care. So that's nice. On the upside, I got to spend an hour this morning with My Doctor, the Second (and best). So let's talk about that. Read more ...
Mister Potato Head vs The Cosmic Hobo and His Friend the Clown Feb 02 2018 2nd Doctor 6th Doctor Jamie McCrimmon Peri Brown Oh, such bliss this morning on the Time Treadmill. Such joy! Not only does the Second Doctor, my Doctor, return to the series, but even better the story focuses on him and Jamie for more than ten minutes before the Sixth Doctor even shows up on screen. Talk about a great way to start my day! Let's talk about that. Read more ...
A Reptile Dysfunction Feb 01 2018 6th Doctor Peri Brown That stretching session I had yesterday evening? Yeah, still feeling it today. It's good, but boy howdy I wasn't exactly jazzed to get back on the treadmill this morning. Still I know that you, my dear imaginary readers, would be disappointed if I missed another day so I forced myself to do it. I knew I wasn't up to going full speed, but I didn't want to be lazy, so I split the difference and went 4.5 mph for the full session. I made it all the way through, but i was definitely feeling it by the end. Ultimately I was glad I forced myself. Anyway, I also watched the rest of the current story today. It paid off with a t-rex. Let's talk about that. Read more ...
An inspiration of geniuses? Jan 31 2018 6th Doctor Peri Brown I had a very, very late night last night with a software release that took the better part of five hours to complete. As a result, I didn't exactly bounce out of bed this morning. Even so, I did manage to squeeze in my treadmill time early this evening. Then I went for a stretching session with a sports therapist, and right now I feel like I went a full round with Mike Tyson. So I'm kinda ready for bed now. But first, let's talk about the Rani.

It's Been a Treadmill of a Day, but not THAT Treadmill Jan 30 2018 I had a major software release at work today. I've been up since early early prepping it, spent all day verifying and finalizing, and then spent nearly five hours deploying it. No treadmill for me today. Tomorrow, though, I will meet the Rani. So that will be nice. Read more ...
Arak, Son of Thunder Jan 29 2018 6th Doctor Peri Brown I just finished wrestling with my home wifi network, and now that I have it beaten into submission I really want to just go to bed. Especially because I know that tomorrow is going to be a very long day, work-wise. So I am going to keep today's commentary brief. Yes, I watched the back half of Vengeance on Varos. Yes, I liked it. Let's talk about that. Read more ...
The Running Man: Time Lord Edition Jan 28 2018 6th Doctor Peri Brown On Friday I had an epic treadmill workout in which I went at 5 mph for the entire 55 minute session, the fastest and furthest I have gone over the course of this ridiculous project. In the past two days I have not been able to duplicate that effort, not even close. Perhaps tomorrow. At least the last two days my weight has been moving back in the right direction after spiking again. I am finding 240 to be the most difficult and elusive barrier yet. That's ok, though. I'll get there. (Or I won't, and that's coll too.) In the meantime, today I started a new story, and boy is it a doozy. Let's talk about that. Read more ...
The CyberController Needs a Time Treadmill Jan 27 2018 6th Doctor Peri Brown Look, I'm not fat shaming, I agree with Peter from Average Joes I think you are awesome just the way you are. What I am saying, though, is that if you are a Mondasian who has decided to bit-by-bit replace his entire body with cybernetic parts, and rise the through the ranks of Cybermen to become the CyberController, wouldn't you pick... slimmer parts? He's not fat, he's big boned Let's talk about that. Read more ...
Wait a Minute, That Was... Good? Jan 26 2018 6th Doctor Peri Brown Today was easily the fastest and the furthest I have ever gone on the Time Treadmill in a normal 55 minute session. I went at a straight 5mph non-stop for the entire duration, walking 4.58 miles during that time. I thought that 5mph would be at or near my crossover point, but surprisingly that is still a (very fast) walking pace for my stride. I didn't think I would last the entire session, but by the last fifteen minutes it became a matter of will to tough it out. It felt really good. Also surprisingly good: Today's episode. Let's talk about that. Read more ...
