The Constellation Awards...

It was auriaephiala who pointed me to the Constellation Awards for this year. It's the kind of Award I don't much like; I don't participate in anything when you have to pay to vote, and I find it's vague nationalism annoying. On the other hand... heck, it's fun to have an awards ceremony at the big Canadian conventions, so that's a good thing.

Interesting lists.

I didn't like or watch many of the shows nominated, and I think there are some glaring omissions: how can you pick great male actors in TV science fiction in 2010 and leave out John Noble as Walter Bishop - as two very different incarnations of Walter Bishop?

Not that I don't love David Tennant, and his acting style, but if we're going to look at "The End of Time, Part 2" my vote goes to Timothy Dalton for being the Time Lord to end all Time Lords.

Kaleidescope...

I have always loved kaleidescopes. I even love the word. Kaleidescope. Kaleidescope. Remember the movie with Warren Beatty?

With thanks to faierescat for the link.

Walking on the dark side...

I was shocked to look at a list of the most dangerous cities for walkers in the US, and to see that Fort Lauderdale was on the list. I've been walking in Fort Lauderdale at least three times over the past year and half - including after dark. Eee! Just as well I didn't know.

Here's the list, if you're interested.
