heh heh...though what about the midwestern US version, where we're all in stuck in our cars... traffic has definitely got worse here in the Twin Cities over the last couple of years.

I feel like it's been the Doctor Who Blog this week. Ah well. So now it's through a couple of other things in my life...
I'm sick of rain. Really sick of rain. And life has been very stressful lately, and I think the weather is worsening my mood. It's sort of like when it's very cold in winter. But it's all icky and sticky and then rainy. I don't have great air conditioning where I live -- just a window AC which is enough that I get by, and I was happy with it last year. I'm really looking forward to CONvergence, as I need the vacation and time off, I think. Looking forward to Iron Giant at MISFITS Movie Night this weekend.
This week's comics were Uncanny X-Men #395, Amazing Spiderman #32 (written by B5's JMS), and the fourth volume of Essential X-Men. The Essentials are a real bargain to get a lot of comics real cheap. Lots of what is being published in the Essential X-Men I read through when I was a teen, and it's a big part of what I read growing up, so it's a real nostalgic buzz. (I reviewed The X-Men movie last year, which really fanned the flames of a lot of my Marvel nostalgia, and I'm very pleased that the X-Men books are good again, if the first month of Uncanny X-Men and New X-Men are of any indication. And X-Force is interesting...
And today's magazine is Dr Dobbs Journal.
I got my order of a bunch of CDs from Marillion.com today -- the Transatlantic live CD, Ian Mosley & Ben Castle's album, the outtakes from Afraid of Sunlight and got the updated version of Real to Reel as well.
Today's at music at work was Richard Thompson's Watching the Dark, which I hadn't listened to in a couple of months and thought of when I heard that he's coming to town -- I might go, it's depending on how my schedule is and the like. But I love that collection, and think it's fantastic, fantastic stuff.

Doctor Who Video FAQ has some info about Doctor Who on Video in the US as well....
The cover for City of the Dead, by Lloyd Rose, is pretty cool. (From Gallifrey One, of course). It's also the first Doctor Who novel solely written by an American, so it's something to look forward to. Of course, I'm way behind in my Doctor Who reading (and reading in general) -- next up is Endgame. Though I've also got non Who to read -- The Doomsday Book, Flatterland, and Archangel Protocol, just to start with....
And then there are all of the DVDs I need to watch as well....

The Doctor Who News Page at Outpost Gallifrey has the new Doctor Who DVD covers, which are quite a bit different from the UK covers. And not that bad, really...better than the UK ones, certainly!

This is where the Political Compass gives a bit of my political orientation. I'm not really that terribly surprised really. Though I always have some of my doubts with these sorts of tests; as even mapping poltics in a 2-d space is simplistic -- I think most people aren't actually that consistent, or they take things issue by issue even more. And I think sometimes the questions phrased are a bit questionable... But I still find them interesting.
For those of you coming from Laurel's Windowseat Weblog, hello! My main page gives all the basics about me.
The Electra Woman and Dyna Girl Gallery - includes info about the new version that didn't make it on WB's fall schedules. (I'm helping with a room party at CONvergence that has a Krofft theme.)

Slashdot | Dr. Who To Come Back To The BBC
Another place it was mentioned, and they got it wrong here a bit as well. (It's coming back to the BBC web site AS a series of audio clips. which were recorded for radio but rejected by the station's management.)

More on Death Comes to Time, the Doctor Who audio drama to be broadcast on the web (a couple historical errors in the article, of course)
and it's a busy weekend for Who fans, because the SciFi channel will be showing the 1996 TV Movie on July 15th.

Foxtrot.com apparently shut down for now, but Bill Amend's Web Page apparently is a low key version. Lots of places to still get Foxtrot online on the web though.
BBC Online to air Doctor Who: Death Comes to Time
Frustrating though, if they only air it once --- I imagine I won't get around to listening to it then....

I saw Evolution tonight. Not great, not horrible. Good if you're in a group, but don't expect much.
