Who’s Done It Best
In the two Part Doctor Who episode ” The Forest of The Dead” and ” Silence In The Library” evil creatures are hiding in a city that houses a computer-
a big computer, a huge computer, a living computer.
And those evil creatures that feed off of organic material ( well, human flesh ) are living in….
books.
Lots and lots of books.
Books that are made out of wood pulp.
Paper.
This made me think:
When we give kudos to the new ” Sci Fi ” stories, those kudos get tossed around like confetti because woman can now shoot big guns and sometimes even get to be Captains on actual spaceships and have ripley muscles just like their male counter parts.
But come on how is that cutting edge exactly?
Some writers just figured out that you can substitute male characters for female characters because really, they can do the same exact job.
Sort of like real life.
Anyway.
In this Doctor Who episode we did see something cutting edge, we saw something unique we saw a story that takes place in the future ( well, that’s a guess where Doctor Who is concerned-but stick with me here ) and in that future were books.
Books with pages that you can turn, pages that crackle and pop when they’re new and whisper when they get old.
How cutting edge is that?
Very.
After all.
A Science Fiction story about Time Travel had at it’s core…books…
books in a Library.
In these times when we walk around with a phone that is sort of like having a second brain that you can hold in your hand ( also a addressed in Doctor Who episode: Planet Of The Ood )
I found ” The Planet Of The Ood “episode to be more of a shot across the bow of the hi-tech ship everyone I know seems to be sailing on then then to be story a story about slavery or disease.
So I will freely admitt I thought is was a riot when my Cell Phone enslaved friends watched this and didn’t seem to see the comparison between themselves and the Ood and the guy who gets ” turned “.
I think that seeing a story about books
made me realize
how much I would miss them if they were gone.
So that must mean on some level
I must feel like they’re being taken away…made irrelevant.
When did that happen?
The funny thing is, The Doctor would know.
Doctor Who.
It has more then a real hot guy playing the lead role.
It happens to have some excellent stories too.
Enjoy…
and THINK next time you watch it.

Thanks To A Bunch of Inconsiderate Jerks Christmas Is Ruined!
Global Warming is NOT funny.
So don’t laugh when I say
somebody is totally F*&^%$#@ up Santa’s back yard.

Do something so that you do NOT add to this very real problem. ( crazy Republicans who are looking to submit a comment to tell me off be warned, I moderate this blog- just doing my part to cut down on the death threats and potty language that seems to hang over us all like noxious clouds …or don’t you guys believe in things like the ‘theory’ behind clouds too? )
So the rest of you- educate yourself about this problem- otherwise I see a very Grim Christmas and possibly a tropical situation happening up there in the North Pole and new forms of life popping up all over the place ( well, if you count mutant animals and people with extra body parts as being a ‘new’ thing).
Hey.
Remember those dome cities in ” Total Recall ” when the glass failed?
Remember what happened to the people living there?
Ha.
Doesn’t seem like such a weird idea NOW does it?
So here’s a start.

And if you can’t take care of our Planet for your kids and friends and family do it for Santa and his Reindeer.
At least.
Just What The Doctor Ordered
Of all the Doctor Who episodes I’ve seen so far I’d have to say:
David Tennant is almost as cool as Peter Davidson, who , if you care was younger then David Tennant when he took the role as The Doctor in 1982.
And
Donna rocks it in the Companion Department- she’s like Tegan on Steroids, which is fine because Tegan was always my favorite D.W. companion.
So back to tonight’s episode Forest Of The Dead- it’s going to be a classic- if it’s as good as Pt 1 Silence In The Library that is.
And Tony…no spoilers if you’re reading this!

Oh. That Explains It
Once, when my kids were small they insisted on making their presence known
when I was working on a story.
I looked up and I remember my eyes got really narrow and I sort of
growled
” go to bed. “
It was like 4:30 in the afternoon.
But they did it.
I thought I sounded weird
but I never thought about the expression I must have had on my face.
Hmmm….I wonder
Modern Love Sucks
Cut Flowers.
Give them to someone you love.
How morbid.
How useless.
How strange
But I think I get it- back in the caveman days I’ll bet a male showed his love by killing and dragging home a Woolly Mammoth( by his teeth no less ) to prove his ability to care for his intended.
So instead of a giant dead animal in these modern times you get a giant bunch of dead flowers.
Aim high people.
I say ask for the Woolly Mammoth.

My nephew loved to hear about my writing.
He loved to hear about the interesting people and the interesting stories they tell and how I met them on my blogs.
Andy should have been a writer.
Andy died this morning at 3:09 am in his Father’s arms.
Andy had a disease called
He would have been 22 in July.
My brother- Andy’s father- is only 42.
They were both to young to have walked such a dark path…but they did it together with grace and dignity and love.
How I love them both.

John McCain Has a Potty Mouth
You can spend all day dancing around the John McCain Issues- like is he a crook, is his wife a thief and a drug addict is he nuts or not?
Well here’s a point that McCain Supporters and Sane People alike can agree on.

One hundred years ago, the Universe’s greatest library was sealed off with only a cryptic warning as explanation: “Count the shadows.” However, it now appears that the shadows are on the move again, as Russell T Davies’s Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama continues. The Doctor and Donna must uncover the terrible truth behind the Nodes and the horrifying Data Ghost to uncover the Library’s secret.
