Chocolate...

Today at my workplace there was a meeting with people from Coco Comino, a local chocolate cooperative, discussing marketing and branding. When we were asked to sign up for the meeting, they offered free chocolate to anyone who came. Then they were surprised that a lot of people signed up.

Well, duh. Free chocolate.

So they ended up giving two presentations to two sets of people, in order to make time for everyone. And we got a preview of their new packaging. It’s like having spoiler previews of bits of a new TV show.

The chocolate was good, too.

Doctor Who: The Time of Angels...

I was, as you might imagine, quite eager to see "The Time of Angels", after seeing the trailer. But I think the time has come to stop watching the Doctor Who trailers, both the ones shown after the previous episode and the ones online, because they are showing to much: they're pretty much spoilers, and not something I want to see. So. I'll do my best to avoid them, and I was careful not to watch the trailer for "Flesh and Stone".

It was a sign of my commitment to learning French that I couldn't watch this yesterday.

I think here I'm very much seeing Steven Moffat do his own thing: this is building on what he has set up before, pretty much shorn of the themes and ideas Russell T Davies liked to play with. And let me say that from "Silence in the Library" and "The Forest of Trees", two episodes I didn't like for several reasons, I did not like River Song and wasn't much looking forward to seeing her again.

Except... I was curious.

( So now... )
