Wandering through E-Space

D.W.Q.M.: Dr Percival: "E equals m C cubed." the Master: "Squared." Dr. Percival: "What?" the Master: "E = m C squared, not cubed." (from the Third Doctor story, the Time Monster ) WVIZ still sucks-it's now after 1, and they are still airing the wine auction. blah On a much lighter note-I decided to read some blogs and found this entry at Big Orange Michael . It made me laugh! Hmmmm...I wonder if the 10th planet has Cybermen on it. ;)

D.W.Q.M.: "Well I have something of vital importance to tell you, that you sir are a NIWIT!" -the Third Doctor Ok, well, it's not August yet, so I'm going to post something that made me mad! I have said it before, and I'll say it again: CLEVELAND'S PBS STATION SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's bad enough that they don't air the cool programs like the British comedies (like Are You Being Served? ) and Red Dwarf and Doctor Who (when the BBC was still giving PBS the rights to show them) but now they aren't even showing what they have scheduled to air!!!! I knew it was too good to be true-I went to WVIZ's website to see when the program Soundstage aired. More specifically, when the Wallflowers were going to be on it. I was quite surprised when I saw an actual listing for our PBS station. I was so glad that I hadn't missed it. It's supposed to be on right now. I was a bit concerned when my Gu...

D.W.Q.M.: "When everything is new, can anything be a surprise?" -Cho-je, (from the Third Doctor story, Planet of the Spiders ) I think I figured out what is wrong with my fonts. In Blogger, you have 'Edit HTML' mode and 'Compose' mode. Compose mode allows you to choose your font (if I'm not mistaken, a fairly recent addition) I think that's confusing the CSS file (which controls my fonts), or something. So, for now, after I'm done typing in HTML mode, I'll switch over to Compose mode and change the font to veranda. Haven't decided on the size I like best, though-so the size might change from time to time. Anyhoo! Big Orange Michael has posted a Blog challenge for August which I am going to participate in. Every day (or nearly every day) you post about something that made you happy that day. It sounds like alot of fun! :) :) If it had started today, I know exactly what I'd post about-I won tickets to a Neil Diamond concert! Yay! I am...

D.W.Q.M.: "She lets her knowledge out a bit at a time, so as not to embarrass me." -Ian Chesterson ...so says Jerm. But he's right, you know! ;) Just take a look at the evidence: Ben Browder-John Crichton of Farscape , now Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell of Stargate: SG-1 Claudia Black-Aeryn Sun of Farscape , now Vala Mal Doran of Stargate: SG-1 Lexa Doig-Rommie of Andromeda , now Dr. Carolyn Lam of Stargate: SG-1 Mitch Pileggi-Walter Skinner of the X-Files , now Col. Steven Caldwell of Stargate: Atlantis (ooh, and as a side note, Robert Patrick-Doggett of the X-Files was Col. Summner(sp?) in the Stargate: Atlantis pilot. Sure his character didn't last beyond the pilot, but that still counts.) Hmmm...have I missed anybody? Don't get me wrong-I am not complaining here. I have really enjoyed the new seasons of the Stargates. I just find it amusing. :) (and seeing Browder, Shanks, and Judge at once on the same screen is an added bonus. LOL :-D) ;)

D.W.Q.M: Duke Juliano: "There's this man in Florence- claims that by arranging ground glasses in a certain order, it's possible to see the moon and stars as large as your hand." Marco:"Is that a good thing?" (from the Fourth Doctor story, The Masque of Mandragora) Sorry this is so late and a bit brief! Today's astronomy post is brought to you by Sky and Telescope Around midnight on July 4th I was standing outside my sister's house, looking out at the dark sky wishing I had a telescope! Deep Impact collided with Comet Tempel 1- click here for an article about the impact! :) July 5th: Earth is at it's 2005 aphelion (farthest point away from the sun) July 17th: Mars is at it's perihelion (closest to the sun in orbit) July 20th: The two brightest starts in the sky will be out at equal, great heights. Vega high toward the east and Arcturus high toward the southwest. July 21st: Full moon at 7:00am EDT. This is the closest and largest full moo...

D.W.Q.M.: the First Doctor: "You know, I acquired that ulster from Gilbert and Sullivan." Ian: "Oh, really? I thought it was made for two." Hey! I'm back online. :) I can do everything except send mail from my dreamingheart address-but hopefully I'll have that remedied soon. (I can check it though-thank goodness!) :) Hopefully I'll get around to talking about my trip to MN soon. Mellon now has her first tooth and can crawl! (Unfortunately both of these events happened after I left) She was backing up while I was there! She hadn't quite figured out how to move forward, but she was pretty close. Tonight was our first night at the Mt. Carmel gig. My friend Mike and his friend Andy came up from Dayton to play. :) Unfortunately it was raining, and apparently the new priest there hired another band for the evening, so we only did the walk around the neighborhood and then left. Apparently the guys who take us to our stops didn't know we wouldn...

D.W.Q.M.: "No, impossible. I'm fully booked for the next 3 centuries." -the Fourth Doctor Yes, I'm back! Yes! I had fun! Yes, the kiddies are cuter than ever! Yes, I took pictures! Yes, they are 'instant gratification' pictureS! (digital camera pics) No! they are not downloaded/uploaded. :-D Hey, I just got back, give me a break. ;) Actually, the uploaded part may be a while-I have to get a new isp (blah) and I don't know how soon I'll have that set up. For now, brief lunch posts, and possibly posts on a friend's computer, is all that I can do. *sigh* It took me over an hour to get through all my junk mail (yuk). And I don't know what's up with the font on my blog-it's posting in the wrong font. I noticed that before I left, but wasn't able to work on it. *sigh* The worst part about going on vacation is getting back into reality. I think my alarm went off for 3 minutes before I realized it was going off and I had to get u...
