My friend Sheila came over and did wonderful, useful things on my computer this evening. We ate chicken, asparagus and caesar salad, and she upgraded all my programs, checked for spyware, and do on, and put on MS service pack 2. Quickly and efficiently.

Then we watched (at my suggestion) two episodes of Doctor Who she had never seen, "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit". I love the ambiance of those episodes - and the setting. Great photography and competition. Some nice mushiness. I love the Doctor's monologue on what it means to be human.

I was wondering why the Doctor unfastened his link to the cable when he was going into the pit. Did he prefer a fast death to a slower one, or did he have a reason to believe he could survive? I love the visuals, with his broken helmet, and the light on his face as he realizes he can breathe.

We also watched the "Confidential". When they showed the drawing of the Satan-like monster I said, "That looks like Simon Bisley art" just seconds before Russell T. Davies said it was Simon Bisley's work. I was proud of myself - do I know my comic book artists, or what? Actually it's a fluke, given my strange memory. It's ages since I've actually Simon Bisley's work.
