I have enabled a new personal filter called: antiDoctor

This filter is everything in my subscription list except

I realize the 4th series has completed in UK. I realize that most of my Stateside friends have downloaded it and watched it.

The family is watching it on Fridays as it airs on the Sci-Fi channel. (You can’t get captioning on YouTube or less-than-legal downloads)

So, please do me the honour of not spilling the beans to me until the show has run its course on Sci-Fi.

Actually, it’s been made clear to me that I must truly suffer. The finale runs on Friday August 1. I will be out of town that weekend and will not be able to see the episode until I return late on the 4th.

So, if you see me that weekend… Don’t ask. I’ll be stewing in my own Gallifreyan blood.

Thank you for your understanding.

When I say, “Obscure” I MEAN Obscure

Last evening I was YouTube surfing. I came across some old 70’s game shows. I was a VORACIOUS game show fan in the 70’s.

“Match Game”, “Gambit”, “High Rollers”, “Now You See It”, “Jackpot”, “Password”, “$foo Pyramid”, “Gong Show”, “Joker’s Wild”… And the real “Wheel of Fortune” with Chuck Woolery, Susan Stafford, and buying ceramic dalmatians and putting the rest on a Gift Certificate.

I ate this stuff up.

One in particular was “Treasure Hunt.” A really trashy show from the mind of Chuck Barris. (Which should make that statement redundant).
Here's the quick summary from wikipedia

You know… I don’t really want to call it jetlag…

I typically get about 6 hrs of sleep per night. And that seems to be okay.

Since getting home its been a bit more. Last night it was about 8 1/2 hrs

On the one side its good. I sleep deeper. I dream more. I have more rest cycle.
One the one side… it’s not so good. I awake very groggy. Not all my dreams were great fun.

Currently I’m on the bus wanting a pillow.

There will be a full weekend report coming. With everything that happened in L.A. as well as everything going on at home… there was a lot to take in.

But big props and thanks to ardras156 maeghanne (and everyone at Hazard house whos LJ’s I don’t have) and especially sesa777 for amazing OTO-style hospitality. Thank you for making my weekend so special and welcomed.

BAD DAY! Blues Song: Uranus Retrograde: F’ing Seahawks Fans

So, lets skip over the fact that Verizon turned off my INternet at home with no warning.
Let’s skip over the fact that I spent the better part of 8 hours on the phone playing tag and getting rudely chewed out by a tech support ass.

No.. Then, as H is on the way to pick up A at daycare… Some moron runs a red light and rearends her into the next car.

My second car in Washington has been totaled and yet another Steelers bumper sticker is toast.

This is a bad day!

H is shaken but ‘for the most part’ undamaged. (Bumps, bruises… We’ll know more after we get to a doctor)

More once everything plays out.

Very not pleased today

What do the following two films have in common:

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Answer in comments. They are screened.

I have a very specific answer in mind. But will not rule out other correct answers.

Go! 😉
