7325 - The work week begins anew.

I saw the short commercial, but didn't get to see the bit of testimonial footage I did for the longer bit.

The most recent Dr. Who 2-parter was an odd combination of actual drama, slapstick/fart jokes, Men in Black, and an issue of 2000AD. I'm glad that there were repercussions of Rose just launching off like she did. Rather a neat spin on UNIT, too.

I can't help but wonder if I'd like it as much if I'd never seen the old Dr. Who series as a kid. Probably... they're pretty entertaining fare.

Next Week... Daleks!

I need to burn episodes 2-5 to a cd, and toss 'em to Graypumpkin.

Freaky Club guy - shaved his face, but not anywhere below the jawline. His behavior was in an odd place, too. He put Mari and Mzk sort of at odds for a bit. I think Mari was suffering from some cramps, to.. I noticed that she was clutching her lower abdomen every so often.

Weather yesterday was magnificent. perfect humidity level, temperature, and amount of sunshine. I would like 100 days like that a year, please.

I have to remember to call up the HR and find out if that thing two weeks ago was fruitful or not. I suspect not, because they didn't call me.

Newt was amazingly affectionate last night and this morning, doing that trill-purr he does when he's in happy-happy mode. Sleep was wonderful for the first time in a few weeks.

Got to talk to Tomi voice, albeit briefly. He sounds good, and is still in seeming good spirits. I think it's been at least 15 years, if not more since we last communicated. A lot of time there... nearly half a lifetime.

Dave Attell was at the Poorhouse Saturday night (as a civilian, not a performer)... looking forward to Wednesday with Mzk and the gang.

Finally, something a little more significant to me than Princess Diana memorobilia.

That'll be something I'd be willing to toss out a few bucks to see. Funny what a few thousand years will do to my enthusiasm. Nostalgic, too... I saw when it was touring Boston in '78, but I was just a cub at the time. I understand more nifty stuff has been added. That's what got me into egyptologhy in the first place. Any walking undead or ancient curses will jsut be a bonus.
