TV this week: Battlestar Galactica: "Home: Part 1" - I'm to the point that if an episode has Baltar in it, I kind of wish it would end immediately. The character makes me squirm. Fortunately, he's only in one scene. I wonder if the new Boomer will survive very long in that crowd of hostile humans? T...

TV this week: Battlestar Galactica: "Scattered" - Yay! The first episode of season 2! No quick fixes in this episode. I wasn't sure about the flashbacks... when we watched the deleted scenes the flashbacks made MUCH more sense. Smallville: "Bulletproof" - Clark gets into uniform! This one actually h...

TV this week: Battlestar Galactica: "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 2" - Finally the final episode of season one... and it ends on a triple cliffhanger of sorts! That's ok, Season 2 is already in the Netflix queue. Numb3rs: "Arrow of Time" - The menace in this episode was striking. Having watched the s...

Ooops. Got caught up in the holiday, and didn't post this quite on time. Still, better late than... um, whatever. TV this week: Dinner: Impossible: "Operation: Improv" - Robert returns to work with comedians. Totally ridiculous, and lots of fun. I really missed Robert's bombastic silliness. He's rea...

TV this week: How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria - I'm not a big fan of reality competitions, but this was an interesting look at how casting decisions must be made... and how hard they are. As I told hubby-Eric, if I knew John Barrowman was going to give me a hug like he gave those girls, I woul...

TV this week: Iron Chef America: "Batali vs Bartolotta" - Yay! Batali! And a very interesting ingredient as well. Not to mention a challenger who is nearly as fun to watch as Batali himself. This was a good one. Classic Doctor Who: "Invasion of Time" Parts 5 & 6 - Enter the potato-heads! Didn't like...

CHARLES FORT The Man Who Invented the Supernatural By Jim Steinmeyer | THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED The Collected Works of Charles Fort...

“Ere luv, d’you smell sumfink funny?” A disgusting smell described as being akin to sulphur or manure, or a heady mix of both, has been detected in various parts of England and Wales. Although investigations having reached any conclusion yet, the stench is already being blamed on e...

TV this week: Numb3rs: "Black Swan" (waffles for dinner!), Classic Doctor Who: "Image of the Fendahl" Parts 1 & 2 (a Doctor Who classic story I haven't seen!), Iron Chef America: "Cora vs Oringer" (I can honestly say I wouldn't want to try ANY of those dishes, or even smell them), Diners, Drive-Ins,...

I started this week by catching up on my Manga anthology reading by going though Shojo Beat and Shonen Jump from the last few months. As I've said before, it was worth subscribing to Shonen Jump just to keep up with Hikaru No Go , which is one of my favorite comic stories, bar none, at the moment. I...
