London Investigation 'n' Detective Agency Apr 08 2018 10th Doctor Jackie Tyler Rose Tyler Happy Sunday! In just a little while I will be taking my (adult autistic) son off to Epcot to meet Alice in Wonderland and Snow White, which is a typical weekend around here. Nothing much else exciting going on here today, so I'll get right down to talking about Doctor Who. Read more ...
There's a Pit. Satan Is In It. That's All I Got. Apr 07 2018 10th Doctor Rose Tyler You know, I've been sitting here for almost a half hour trying to think about something to say about today, and I got nuthin'. So let's talk Doctor Who so I can go to bed. 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 ...
Unlike Idiots We Ideate Apr 04 2018 10th Doctor Rose Tyler This morning when I started my scheduled pushup program, I knew there was no way I would hit the targets. It was a flatly ridiculous notion that I could do 88 pushups. And then... I did 88 pushups! So that was a nice way to start my day. Unfortunately, I got started on that so late that I had to put off my treadmill time until almost 9pm. But I got it done, so let's talk about it. Read more ...

Those Aren't Tears of Joy Apr 02 2018 10th Doctor Jackie Tyler Mickey Smith Pete Tyler Ricky Smith Rose Tyler Everybody has pet peeves that matter to them but seemingly to nobody else. For me, right near the top of the list is any title that uses the construction "Rise of the (fill in the blank)". It ranks right up there with the phrase "the one that started it all" and with song lyrics about tall mountains and wide rivers. I can't tell you precisely why those things annoy me. I mean, sure, they are all lazy and trite, but there are plenty of lazily trite phrases in the world that don't bother me at all. But give me a story that starts with "Rise of the..." and you have already lost me. So you can imagine how I felt when, in order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first appearance of the Cybermen, Doctor Who went with Rise of the Cybermen for the story title. *shudder* So let's talk about that.

I'm the Doctor, and I Just Snogged Madame de Pompadour Apr 01 2018 10th Doctor Mickey Smith Rose Tyler This morning I weighed in under 250 lbs again for the first time in eleven days, and actually at my lowest weight in more than twenty. Of course, it was also after not only an hour on the treadmill but another hour out doing yard work, so I was more than a little dehydrated. We'll see if tomorrow continues the happy trend. In other news, I watched one of my very favorite episodes of Doctor Who this morning and loved every minute of it. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
The Missus and the Ex. Welcome to Every Man's Worst nightmare. Mar 31 2018 10th Doctor K9 K9 Mark III K9 Mark IV Mickey Smith Rose Tyler Sarah Jane Smith In yesterday's post I mentioned that my wife and I had visited Balmoral Castle in Scotland a few years ago. It turns out that I am a moron (shocking, I know!) The place I was thinking of was Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, which is a completely different thing. I was only off by about a hundred miles. Oops. As for today's viewing, it featured the return of both Sarah Jane Smith and K9. Yay! Let's talk about that. Read more ...
Not-Quite-As-Bad Wolf Mar 30 2018 10th Doctor Rose Tyler Check it out - after hitting sixty pushups last week I kind of hit a brick wall. The next day of the program naturally had more per set, and my arms fatigued before I could finish. It took repeating that same day's program three times until today I finally broke back through, the end result being I hit sixty four pushups today. Barely. I expect the next day's program is going to be the same fight all over again, but I'll deal with that then. Progress is progress. I also watched Doctor Who get all werewolf-y this morning, so let's talk about that. Read more ...
New New Freaky Friday Mar 29 2018 10th Doctor Rose Tyler I ain't gonna lie, I am bothered by my current weight trend. I can argue to a certain degree that I am putting on more muscle mass, but not that much. The fundamental problem is that I have plateaued, but I am committed to finishing this ridiculous project so I am pretty much chained to the treadmill for about another four months. I am going to try to find some ways to work in some other variety, but it's kind of hard with my schedule the way it is. Hopefully I will be able to turn this thing around and stabilize. As for Doctor Who, the Tenth Doctor kicks off his first full season with a rough start. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
