It's Now or Never
Seeing Hamlet live, being performed by excellent actors, was a thrilling and enthralling experience. The only problem with it is that you can't see it over again whenever you want, like a film. It's performed, the memory fades, and then it's just...gone. But, at least I was lucky enough to have seen it, unlike countless people who couldn't get ( Read more... ) -

When You See This, Quote Douglas Adams in Your Journal
People often ask me how they can leave the planet, so I have prepared some brief notes.
How to Leave the Planet
1. Phone NASA. Their phone number is (713)483-3111. Explain that it's very important that you get away as soon as possible.
2. If they do not cooperate, phone any friend you may have in the White House - (202)456-1414 - to have a word on ( Read more... ) -
The Doctor Saves JK Rowling from Rita Skeeter?
I was just surfing the web and came across this news story about the head writer/producer of the new Doctor Who, Russell T. Davies, and his idea to write a Doctor Who/Harry Potter-ish crossover story to star none other than JK Rowling. Before anyone gets excited, it never went anywhere and will not be done, but the thought of it amused me:
“I was ( Read more... ) -
Geeky Coolness!
This past weekend, I was out of town for a conference and, aside from visiting my brother and his family (my 2-year-old nephew is way cute!), I managed to visit cjmr & d_84, finally returning their Doctor Who series 2 DVD set to them. cjmr made pasta for dinner with home-made pesto that was delicious! :) cjmr and d_84 also gave me advice on which "old Who" episodes ( Read more... ) -
For the amusement of all...
Yesterday, I saw a new patient in the clinic. On reviewing all her old records, I came across an X-ray report that read as any normal X-ray report until the very end. At the end it said:
I swear if anything gets started again, I am through with all the get-togethers. Too much drama. Will see the guys away from all these petty high school acting ( Read more... ) -
Orkney
Continuing from this post, I thought I'd update my vacation photos. I selected and uploaded photos from Orkney last night.
I was hoping to be able to write "Orkney" in runes for this post, but unfortunately it seems that the standard fonts don't have runic characters. That may sound a bit random, but while I was in Orkney, I bought a T-shirt ( Read more... ) -
More dictating...
Yes, I'm dictating again today. This time it's the notes from yesterday's clinic. It's still boring. :-/ When I'm done, though, I get to work on research stuff, which should be much more interesting. And, as I'm writing this, I only have one more dictation to do! :-D ( Read more... ) -
Because dictating is really boring...
...and requires frequent breaks to keep my brain active, I've been looking at my Friends Page intermittently all day - after every 2 dictations or so.
First, I found this in Thursday's news edition of who_daily. It's about David Tennant's fashion sense. I found the photos and the commentary accompanying the photos in the main post to be quite amusing ( Read more... )
