Work like you don't need the money...

Today's 'quote of the day' list had two quotes I knew well, and loved, but I never knew who said them:

and

Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

Turns out both are from Leroy "Satchel" Paige, 1906 - 1982, an American baseball player.

Doctor Who and sushi...

This evening I was at a sushi restaurant with Marcelle, Sushi Kan on Baseline Road, and the people at the table next to us were talking about the Doctor Who episode 'Journey's End'. It sounds so very like the conversations here on my LJ! I was amused. ( Cut for spoilers: )

They continued by saying that Torchwood was a second-rate knock-off of Doctor Who and they didn't bother watching it.

It amused me mightily that at two different tables in one Ottawa restaurant people were discussing an episode of a TV show that won't be aired in this country until December - or later.

Their conversation reminded me of ( another spoiler I'd read... )

So I was telling maaseru about what Noel Clarke had said, and the woman at the next table gave us a grin and said, "Did we derail your conversation?"

"No problem," I said, "I'm always happy to talk about Doctor Who." maaseru gave me a tolerant look.

Oh, and a bit of good news - the voice in her GPS system is named Jack.
