I know, it's Thursday, and I'm only just updating with weekend shenanigans. In my defense, Dad has been here and it's been hard finding the time to do much of anything.

A part of me is surprised it's the 50th already, another part thinks the sho should be older, but I think that's because Star Trek and Doctor Who are so tightly tied in my mind (my brain is a weird place) that I ( Read more... )
