Macra Terror Redux Apr 15 2018 10th Doctor Martha Jones I love Sunday morning weigh-ins. Not only have I done my usual workout plus treadmill, but I have also been out mowing the lawn. By the time I take my shower and do my morning weigh-in, I am super dehydrated so the number is always unrealistically low. I know it doesn't mean anything, and it will bounce back the next day, but sometimes you just want to be lied to. Speaking of lying, the Doctor lied to Martha this morning and wound up getting kidnaped into the carpool lane in New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York traffic. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
Love's Labours Won Apr 14 2018 10th Doctor Martha Jones It was a beautiful day today. I slept in, did some sit-ups, walked on the treadmill, went to the Magic Kingdom with my son, and just generally enjoyed a lovely Florida spring day. What more could a person ask for?

Judoon Platoon Upon the Moon Apr 13 2018 10th Doctor Martha Jones Today has been a pretty satisfying day. I got to sleep an hour later than usual, and still was able to do a boatload of pushups and put in my 4+ miles on the treadmill. At work I battled a really interesting software problem, and finally conquered it right at the end of my day. I did a Facebook Live video to promote upcoming cabaret at the Orlando Fringe Festival, and a spent a chunk of time this evening practicing clarinet and making some real progress. As I say, it's been a satisfying day. And, of course, I watched the first episode of Doctor Who with Martha Jones as a companion. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
Guess what I've got, Donna? Pockets. Apr 12 2018 10th Doctor Donna Noble Today was Christmas again. I get to celebrate with the Doctor about every two weeks from now through July. Aside from that, it's been a busy day. My son had a dentist appointment, I had a pile of work plus a hotfix software release, I practiced my clarinet, I staged my home office for some Facebook Live videos to promote my upcoming show in the Orlando Fringe Festival, and I went out for my usual Thursday singing session. I'd say that makes a pretty good day. But let's get back to Christmas, and the very awesome Donna Noble. Read more ...
Farewell, Rose Tyler (Finally) Apr 11 2018 10th Doctor Donna Noble Jackie Tyler Mickey Smith Pete Tyler Rose Tyler Sometimes life comes up with amazing little synchronicities, perfect little coincidences that come out of nowhere and make you smile. This morning, after doing 130 pushups (holy crap!) and then walking over four miles on the treadmill, I arrived at Rose Tyler's big emotional departure. She walked out onto the beach at Bad Wolf Bay in Norway, the Doctor appeared, and then... the DVD glitched and hung up. I tried to take the disc out and clean whatever smudge was causing the problem, but my sweaty hands only made it worse. So that's how I said goodbye to the Sainted Rose today, by shrugging and thinking, "Ah, well, I remember how it ended. Goodbye." How it should have ended... Read more ...
Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together Apr 10 2018 10th Doctor Jackie Tyler Mickey Smith Rose Tyler I really gotta get these things written early in the day.

Fingers On Lips! Apr 09 2018 10th Doctor Rose Tyler I am so tired right now. I've been awake since 4:30am. At 5:45am I finally gave up, got out of bed, and did 114 pushups before hitting the treadmill. That just seems surreal. I can't go to bed quite yet, I've got a software release to do in about ninety minutes. So in the meantime let's talk Doctor Who. Read more ...

It Eats You, Starting With Your Bottom Apr 06 2018 10th Doctor Rose Tyler So, the big thing today: I actually did 100 pushups this morning!! I absolutely did not expect to be able to do it, but there it is. When I started the 100 Pushups program on February 20th I could do a grand total of three. Forty five days later, and I hit my goal. How cool is that? I have definitely seen a change in my upper body. I am very, very happy with this progress. I also watched a really good episode of Doctor Who this morning, so let's talk about that. Read more ...
