Having been clued into Doctor Who by fellow SF buffs back in 1983, I started by watching the current episode on my local PBS station, “Arc of Infinity” — episode 3. I was plunged in the middle of an ongoing story featuring a bunch of mysterious people and aliens, based on a 10-year-old story that had yet to be shown…

Whenever I get a spider in my apartment, I remember that they can’t survive if you throw them outside, so I normally scoop them up and put them in my storage space to live out of my way. I’m glad to see the Doctor and I have similar ideas about arachnids.

Why is the guy in the photo wearing my homemade Rorschach Halloween costume?

Can I exchange my Klout Perks for MeowMeowBeenz?

Hey, the NBC Mystery Movie! Oooh-WEE-ooh...!

I’m pretty sure that Sideshow Bob got his three consecutive life sentences for the ICBM deaths of the art critics at the end. Attempted murderer no more!

When Abby said that she caught the Velvets live, I suddenly had a flashback with her in a scene from Vinyl. That just reminded me that I actually watched Vinyl. Damn you, Vinyl!
