I was holding out hope that BBC America would show Sherlock on January 1, 2013. That hope has indeed been crushed. Fortunately, I hadn’t planned an elaborate watch party or anything…okay, fine, I hadn’t bought anything for the elaborate watch party. It wasn’t going to be quite as elaborate as my Doctor Who 50th Anniversary […]

Read More Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy…An Evening with Neil Gaiman and Amanda PalmerThe Doctor’s influence is everywhere. Have you discovered this? I’m running into fans all over the place! Last week my dishwasher sprung a leak. I know, really fun stuff. The guys that came in to dry out the flooding were pretty cool. One of them commented that I had the best coffee mug ever. I […]
Read More Eleven’s Hour Is At An EndSo, I completely convinced myself that I’d read a book that I haven’t. Yeah, it happened. How did I discover this? Well, I got the movie on Netflix. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy of all things! I was certain that I’d already read this novel by Douglas Adams, but as the movie was rolling […]

Now I am perfectly prepared to begin looking toward Christmas…bring on the carols, decorations, shopping mall Santas, and, of course, the BBC Christmas lineup. (Okay, so maybe not the shopping mall Santas. They can be a little creepy.) This year, other than the usual festivities, there are a couple of long […]
Read More #SherlockLives, It’s Christmas!Thanksgiving is fast approaching…like tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving! Are you ready? I think I’m ready(ish). Half the fun is the cooking, and half of mine got finished last night. (Whew!) The rest of the fun is my family.
