Wandering through E-Space

D.W.Q.M.: Vural: "Clock expert?" the Fourth Doctor: "Horologist, actually, and chronometrist. I just love clocks: atomic clocks, quartz clocks, grandfather clocks...Cuckoo clocks..." Setting: Cleveland area-West Side The radio of a Ford Mustang is softly playing music a la film noir...ummm...oh, yeah, no radio in the car...well, let's just pretend. Perseph and Ro pull up to a shady looking store. "Well, I guess this is it, Perseph. You coming in?" "No, Ro, I think I'll wait out here in the car...are you sure this place is safe?" "Oh, yeah-I've dealt with them before on eBay...it's just...well..." "What, Ro?" Ro hesitates before replying, "Well, if I'm not out in a half hour, you better come in after me." "Ummmm...oh-kaayy. Good luck!" "Thanks!" Ro says over her shoulder as she hops out of the car and bounces off into the store. As Perseph is waiting in th

D.W.Q.M.: "Close your eyes and Nero will give you a big surprise!" -from the 12th story, The Romans (1965) I am sitting here waiting for a batch of cookies to come out of the oven, so I can put another in, and I decided to write a random thoughts post... ...if things don't make sense, don't be too surprised...my random thoughts very rarely make sense... ;) "We may have inadvertently, totally accidently..." -Major Carter (random quote from Stargate) Note to self: country + rain = boots. My friend Kim and I decided to drive out to Burton and Middlefield to visit the Amish country, get some fresh maple syrup and Amish cheese...mmmm...cheeeesee... Speaking of cheese, I saw a commercial not too long ago for California cheese-their motto? warm weather=happy cows. Happy cows=good cheese. Well, being from the northern midwest, perhaps I am a bit biased, but lets think about this: cheese comes from curdled milk...wouldn't the curdled milk

D.W.Q.M.: "Our lives are different from anybody else's. That's the exciting thing. Nobody in the universe can do what we're doing!" -the Second Doctor If you're out and about and it's clear just after dusk tonight, take a look up into the sky-it's beautiful! Venus will be shining brightly next to the crescent moon, and all 5 of the classical planets (Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) are visible in the evening sky for the next two weeks, although Mercury will be harder to see towards the end. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Mercury and the crescent moon last night while I was waiting for Perseph for our Toys 'r Us adventure-it was beautiful!! :) Plus, Orion and the other winter constellations are still quite visible. If you get the chance, take a step outside-it's so worth it!! :) :)

D.W.Q.M.: "Look, try and use your intelligence, man, even if you are a politician." -the Third Doctor Okay, I think I know why I didn't do many tvjunkie files-not only do I make my reviews way too long, but I never seem to have the time to type them up!! (by the time I do, it's been so long since the episode, i'm like, 'why bother?' ) So, again, I must apologize for the lateness-I wanted to wait until I was sure some of you had seen the episode. ------------------------------------- Series: Stargate SG-1 (SciFi) Episode: Lost City, part 2 (season 7 finale) Original Airdate: March 19th, 2004 WOW. If I was only allowed one word, just one word to describe this episode, that word would be wow. I honestly do not think I have been this moved by an episode of a scifi show since the series finale of Farscape. They came. They saw. They kicked it's a**! Once again, SG-1 saved Earth!!! As a follow up to tvj files #3 , I would

D.W.Q.M.: "Oh, my giddy aunt!!" -the Second Doctor BEWARE Of the general state of giddiness in the Acquistions Department (sign seen hanging in our department) Example of a conversation heard this afternoon: Mamaramna: "You mean that truck is already full? As in F-U-L-L!?" Romana: "No, Mamaramna, as in E-M-P-T-Y." Maybe you had to be there- but I sent Mamaramana into a fit of laughter when I gave my cheeky reply. Once again, I find myself being quite naive, as I didn't get a joke that was going around this morning until later in the afternoon...ok, maybe it wasn't really a joke... but it involves biscuits and pickles, so I'll leave it at that.... ;) 0:-) To celebrate my not-so-innocent-innocence, I thought I'd post this quiz for some Friday afternoon fun: You're Most Like The Season Spring ... Fresh faced, with a young outlook on life - you smile at the world and expect it to smile back at you. Y

D.W.Q.M: "I am not a student of human nature. I am a professor of a much wider academy of which human nature is merely a part." -the Second Doctor I'm sorry this is a bit late, but I figure it'll be okay, considering after this week just about everything I watch will be in reruns for a while. ;) (stupid basketball, stupid season finales!) lol. --------------------------- Series: Navy NCIS (CBS) Episode: The Truth is Out There Original Airdate: March 16th, 2004 Favorite lines: Tony: "Have you ever been in a mens restroom before?" Kate: "No, have you?" and Abby: "Do you have any fetishes?" Gibbs: "I have three ex-wives- I can't afford any fetishes." The main story line involved the murder of a petty officer in a night club (owned by a not-quite-yet-17 year-old smart a** who is majoring in business, or will, or something) turns out that the petty officer and 3 of his buddies were playing a joke on ano

D.W.Q.M.: "Didn't you find two angry men stuck to my car?" -the Third Doctor Okay, as promised (awhile ago), the drawing I made to commemerate Perseph and Ro's triumph over Mario Kart! (with apologies to Nintendo and Persephone, for my lack of artistic skills ;) ) Perseph's Faves Drivers: Toad, Baby Luigi Car: Baby Luigi's green baby carriage, with the smiley face flower Track: Daisy Cruiser Ro's Faves Drivers: Yoshi!!!! Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, King Boo Car: Birdo's pink car, Wario's car, Boo's pipes Track: DK Mountain, Dry Dry Desert Now we are both working on breaking records-Perseph is aiming for perfect scores, but I'm not to that point yet. ;) I have managed to break one record though-beat Paul's score by a couple of seconds on the first track. Woo-hoo! ;)

D.W.Q.M.: the Brigadier: "Do you know what you're doing?" the Third Doctor: "My dear chap, I can't wait to find out." The return of the tvjunkie files! (I hope) Back in September I attempted to do quick reviews of the tvshows I watched, but that didn't last very long-partially because I tend to write too much, partially because I just watch too much tv to keep up with it! (ok, mostly 'cause I just watch too much tv.) ;) Anyhoo, I decided to give it a try again, with an attempt at making shorter summaries...although I probably won't write about everything I watch. So, here goes, starting with my Friday night shows! --------------------------------------------------------- Series: JAG (CBS) Episode: "What If?" Original Airdate: March 12th, 2004 Ok, so I think the title could be changed to 'What The...' as in, WTF?! I'll admit, I'm a big fan of silly episodes every once in a while...but sometimes the

D.W.Q.M.: Ian Chesterson: "Frankly Doctor, I find it hard to keep pace with you." the First Doctor: "You mean 'to keep one jump ahead'; that you will never be!" *I hear ya, buddy-I hear ya!!* ;) Funny event of the week: Paul, singing that annoying Quiznos song, 'we love the subs' in a Ned from South Park voice. Laughed so hard I was cryin'!!! Funny line of the week: spoken by Andy, "Oh, cool! Earth farts!" during a show on the Science channel that was talking about the destruction of an age...and yes, I know it's not the dinosaurs!!! :p ;) Funny article of the week: Dear Abby article pulled because of Simpsons prank A fun read-check it out! (picked it up from another blog I started to read occasionally, Bloggity-Blog-Blog-Blog I have been accused of having too much oxytocin. Once, the Doctor, Paul and I were watching a special on the Discovery channel, and they were talking about oxytocin and how

D.W.Q.M.: "Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority." -the Second Doctor We have done the impossible. We have done the unthinkable!! Persephone de Hades and Romanadvoratrelundar have beaten the game!!!! Mario Kart: Double Dash has been conquered with the two most unlikely canidates at the wheel!! Special shout goes out to Persephone, who came in first on all three tracks we played!!! (she insists that I did help, though-thanks, Perseph!! :) ) We beat what is probably the three most difficult tracks in the entire game! Yo-shi!! Perhaps we should have seen this coming...after all, our usual taco night was not our usual taco night-in fact, Paul was the only one who got tacos-also, we didn't even have it at my place-we had it at P^2's. We watched Enterprise, and then Perseph and I decided to try to beat the Star Cup in Mirror mode. After a few false starts, we finally got the Gold! Our reward? Two new characters and

* note to all: I actually started this entry during lunch today, but realized that it was going to take way longer than a half an hour to write.* ;) D.W.Q.M.: "Circular logic will only make you dizzy, Doctor." - Peri Conversation overheard in Heaven on February 25th, 2004: God: "Was I supposed to end the world today?" Jesus: "No, why?" God: "Because Romana was seen in church, today!!!" Ah...Lent, 40 days of fast before Easter. You know, I had in mind an entire entry about Lent, but I have discovered that actually putting it into typed out words is alot harder than I thought. Maybe it's because in general I have a hard time really expressing how I feel about serious topics such as this. I guess I should start by admitting, yes, I did go to church on Ash Wenedsday, and yes, as of late, me going to church has been a rare occurance. (I always go on Ash Wenesday, Easter, and Christmas, sometimes inbetween those Holy Da
