Interview with Louise Jameson (aka Doctor Who's Leela of the Sevateem) on Verity Podcast. It's about 36 minutes long, and very interesting -- she talks a lot about being an older woman in the acting business and the state of women-centric TV stories today versus in the 80's (when she starred in Tenko), how her theater training fed back into Doctor ( Read more... ) -

Between starting my Gender Through Comic Books class and running this month's book club (in an amusing convergence, Fun Home and Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel), I'm pretty bushed.

New Who
Non-spoilery: not perfect by any means, but a breath of fresh air, probably the best episode overall since The Doctor's Wife. It's nice to feel optimistic about the show again. Though that may just be my lowered standards, ahem.
And on another note, the Doctor Who Pointless Celebrity Special -- starring the teams of Syvelster McCoy and Sophie ( Read more... ) -
Red Sea diving, in bullet points
