Planet of the Pudding Brains Jun 30 2018 11th Doctor 12th Doctor Clara Oswald Jenny Flint Madame Vastra Strax Mixed news on my floppy right arm today. On the positive side, I did do 50 push-ups, and it did feel stronger than the last time I attempted them a week ago. On the negative side, it still feels weak - stronger than it was, but weaker than I would like. Where my left arm feels properly seated, my right arm feels like a ball joint with a broken nylon bushing, where the joint is just not stable at all. That being the case, I am going to keep off of it for a while yet to let it continue to heal. If I haven't seen any real improvement by next weekend, then I suppose the next step is to see a specialist and get it x-rayed. In other news, there was a new Doctor today and he was very grumpy and cross. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
"The heart is a relatively simple thing." "I have not found it to be so." Jun 27 2018 11th Doctor Clara Oswald Jenny Flint Madame Vastra River Song Strax War Doctor This is the end of a very long day which included a regular working day, a visit to my primary doctor, a visit to the chiropractor, and to full runs of show I am in that opens a week from tomorrow. As my British friends might say, I'm a bit knackered. So let's talk Doctor Who so I can go to bed. Read more ...
I once spent a hell of a long time trying to get a gobby Australian to Heathrow Airport Jun 25 2018 11th Doctor Clara Oswald Jenny Flint Madame Vastra Strax I saw a chiropractor today related to my floppy right arm, and it seems to have helped. I see them again on Wednesday, along with my primary doctor. I am deliberately holding off on any more strength training for several more days to give it all time to settle. But hopefully by this time next week I will be back on top of things. So that's nice. As for Doctor Who, today's episode would have fit very comfortably in the Holmes/Hinchcliffe era of the show, which is pretty cool. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
Good evening. I'm a Lizard Woman from the Dawn of Time, and this is my wife. Jun 18 2018 Clara Oswald Jenny Flint Madame Vastra Strax What better way to start of a Monday morning in June than to celebrate Christmas? Yeah, these rapid-fire holiday specials are really getting disconcerting. I skipped pushups this morning, mostly because I have a muscle in my right shoulder that is tweaked. I am going to see a massage therapist on Wednesday, so hopefully I can get that sorted out. But I dd also put in my treadmill time, so let's talk about that. Read more ...
We're the thin fat gay married Anglican marines. Why would we need names as well? Jun 05 2018 11th Doctor Amy Pond Jenny Flint Madame Vastra River Song Rory Williams Strax I need to start this post with an apology. Seven years ago I accidentally spoiled the big reveal at the end of this episode to my friend and colleague Amelia Ross. She had specifically told me she hadn't watched the episode yet, so I had no excuse on that point. I simply blurted out in a conversation that was , at which point she gasped and said, "Did you just tell me that is ?!?!?" I wanted to crawl under a rock and die. I still work with her virtually every day (although this week she is on vacation in Scotland and - I hope - having an amazing time), and I value her friendship and skillset more than I can ever say. I don't know if she has ever actually forgiven my for my indiscretion. All I can say is... So anyway, yeah, let's talk about that huge spoiler. Read more ...
