Well, here's the unforeseeable. I forgive you. After all you've done, I forgive you. Jul 19 2018 12th Doctor Clara Oswald Kate Stewart Petronella Osgood In year-and-a-half of this ridiculous project, I have never gotten this far behind in the writing. The past few days has been a perfect storm of work deadlines plus show performance dates, and while I have stayed current in getting my workouts done (aside from completely missing on Wednesday), I just haven't had the time to write my daily posts. So this is the first of three back-dated posts. Hopefully I will be current again by the end of the day. So let's get down to it, and talk about the futility of war. Read more ...
I'm the President of the World. I'm here to rescue people and generally establish happiness all over the place. Jul 17 2018 10th Doctor 11th Doctor 12th Doctor Clara Oswald Kate Stewart Petronella Osgood War Doctor Good lord, it's a quarter to midnight and I still haven't written this blasted thing. I've been buried in work all day and only just came up for air. The good news is I did fifty five push ups this morning, and my arm still feels fine. Alternating days seems to be making a difference. For now at least I will keep on that track, and see how it goes. As for Doctor Who, it was a mighty good one today. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
Honestly, this stuff will be hilarious in a very few hundred years Jul 11 2018 12th Doctor Clara Oswald Kate Stewart Have you ever had an evening where you are supposed to be writing a blog post, but you wind up futzing around with an acoustic cover of Cum On Feel the Noize instead? Or is that just me? Anyway, I should write this thing so that I can go to bed. So let's talk about the major positive course-correction that is the Twelfth Doctor's second season. Read more ...
Say Something Nice Jul 09 2018 12th Doctor Clara Oswald Danny Pink Kate Stewart Petronella Osgood For the first nine months of this ridiculous project, my weight dropped slowly and steadily (with the normal expected daily fluctuations). Then around last Christmas it pretty much leveled out and I assumed I was done losing weight and that my body had found its new normal. I was perfectly fine with this. I started strength training and actually bulked up a bit, building muscle mass and gaining back the right kind of weight. I was also perfectly fine with this. In the past month or so, though, I have begun trending back downward again. In fact, I am currently beck to within 1 lb of my lowest weight since starting this project, which is... disorienting. I keep saying I don't care about any specific number, that this has never been about weight per-se, and my rational brain absolutely believes that. But my crazed target-oriented brain is totally locked in on maybe pulling off a late rally and finishing this project on a serious high note (or, I guess, low note as the case may be). With only a month left to go, where will I end up? Time will tell. Anyway, I also watched the season finale today for the Twelfth Doctor's first season this morning. So let's talk about that.

Fifty Years in Four Hundred and Ninety Four Days Jun 28 2018 10th Doctor 11th Doctor 12th Doctor 1st Doctor 2nd Doctor 3rd Doctor 4th Doctor 5th Doctor 6th Doctor 7th Doctor 8th Doctor 9th Doctor Clara Oswald Kate Stewart Petronella Osgood Rose Tyler War Doctor When I started this ridiculous project on February 20th of last year, I deliberately didn't calculate how long it would take. I guessed a little over a year, and it turns out to be more like a year and a half. Today, though, I hit a huge milestone. Today I watched the 50th Anniversary special, meaning that as of this morning I have watched a full fifty years of Doctor Who in four hundred and ninety four days. Wow. With only one Eleventh Doctor story left, I only have the Twelfth Doctor era left to go through. I just double-checked my count, and I must have missed something the last time I worked it out. I need to finish by Monday, August 6th because I have a work trip that begins on the 7th and I want to have a clean break. But I just counted it out,and if I miss no days and watch one episode per day I won't finish until August 8th. That means I have to double up on at least two days. It looks like Under the Lake / Before the Flood would be a good double fallin ... Read more ...
Bit of a shock, Zygon ship under the Savoy, half the staff impostors. Still, it's all fixed now, eh? Jun 16 2018 11th Doctor Amy Pond Brian Williams Kate Stewart Rory Williams Yes, I walked on the treadmill today. Yes, I watched Doctor Who today. Yes, I want to go to bed. So let's talk about the middle thing so I can do the last thing. Read more ...
