Doctor Who: comments on "Evolution of the Daleks"...

If I don't comment on "Evolution of the Daleks" now, I probably never will - and I want to do so before I see "The Lazarus Experiment". So...

As a newcomer to Doctor Who I never felt I understood the Daleks. They've never seemed scary to me - and yet the Dalek episodes I've seen ("Dalek", "The Parting of the Ways", and "Doomsday") have been among my favourite episodes. But aside from their obsessive imperialistic obsession to exterminate, I couldn't figure them out. ( Now I've got it... )

Doctor Who: "The Lazarus Experiment"...

I'm not sure I can talk about this one. There's too much interior squeeing going on. ( I can only say... )

Brunch...

I had a lovely brunch this morning at the Chimo Hotel's restaurant, Clancy's. Buffet. Lillian was in town from Montreal with her mother and her mother's friend Alice. We also invited Alice's nephew Ed, whom I work with, and Ed's partner Keith, who is a friend of Donna - we're getting really into the intricate-small-world thing here, and only a few degrees of separation. I'd never met Keith before, though I've known Ed for more than twenty-five years. He was as delightful and attractive as I expected.

And then there was Sandi and Pat, and Beulah and Lionel, and me. A remarkably good time was had by all, and good food too: roast beef and devilled eggs being the highlights for me. I avoided the desserts, to everyone's surprise. I have such a reputation for gluttony that whenever I show restraint my friends are astounded.

Maybe I should work on changing that.
