One fat geek's SUCCESSFUL attempt to regenerate into a not-so-fat geek by watching the entirety of Doctor Who while walking on a treadmill

Thwarted and Stymied

The Time Treadmill

Thwarted and Stymied

No treadmill today, no Doctor Who today, this has been a trainwreck of a day from start to finish. Nothing awful in the grand scheme of things, just enough to keep me from accomplishing anything useful at all today. This makes for the one buffer "miss day" I had left in my schedule. If I miss another I am going to have to double up on days in order to finish the project before I leave for Vegas on August 6th. And by God I am finishing this ridiculous project before I leave for Vegas....

Good point. Perhaps, after I finish Blake's 7 and Sapphire & Steele, I should start a grand re-watch and dig back into the b&w era.
