Doctor Who
A big cultural-studies paper about Doctor Who. I haven't read it yet, and it's an academic-style paper, but might have something interesting to say....

But What's It For?
I'm thinking about why I have this on my site again.
I think the main reason is a way to keep track of links for myself. I'm the prime user of this log, and by doing a bit of history with it, and now that I can search my site, I can look for old references. Though if I was really ambitious, I'd find some way to automatically create an index, or something like that. Because since this isn't really topic-based as a log, it's pretty unlikely that anyone bit me will be interested in everything I put up here.
And since I'm on multiple computers, it's useful to have these things on another site somewhere, so I can reference things later if I'm pointed to something and don't have the immediate time for it.

I can tell by looking at my server logs that I'm having people look for more information about Marillion's Anoraknophobia, so I thought I'd give a few more review comments, now that I've been carrying it along with me for the last several days, and it's available in the UK this week, and the US next week.
All and all, I think all of the tracks are excellent. I think the weakest song is probably The Fruit of the Wild Rose, but I think many of the others are great, from the pop-rock of Map of the World, which in a just world would get radio play, to the mainly uptempo Between You and Me, to the harder rock of Seperated Out. Stylistically this is one of the most varied Marillion albums yet.
If you're interested in checking out a good album, that isn't just a simple pop or rock album, but is something modern, a real 21st Century album, you couldn't go far off by picking this disc up. This is the 21st Century indeed.
