Every couple of months I find an old mop lying around the house, spend a couple hours shaving it, and find a brand, shiny, new dog inside.
Doctor House Who
I dreamed Hugh Laurie was the Doctor for one special between Eccleston and Tennant. It was glorious.
Tidbits of Life
I’ve been rewatching the series really slowly and just made it through the episode where the Federation loses the station but Sisko leaves his baseball behind — and I just love DS9 so much.
I think I’ve trained myself that “taking a day off” means “only writing three hundred words.” Success? Continue reading “Tidbits of Life”

Watching Doctor Who with the Doctor
The four-year-old’s comment at the end of the latest Doctor Who special: “I did not know my regeneration was in this episode!”

The four-year-old at midnight, suddenly popping back into the living room: “Santa is coming here!” Continue reading “Getting the Kids to Stay in Bed on Christmas Eve”
Dreams, Writing, Coldness
My subconscious is so impatient to see the new Star Wars (tix for tomorrow!) that I spent all night dreaming possible Star Wars. Turns out my subconscious is way worse at imagining new Star Wars than new Star Trek or Doctor Who. Continue reading “Dreams, Writing, Coldness”
Pitch for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
They should bring the Santa Ana Winds back for another episode of #CrazyExGirlfriend. But then have Becca become a warlock & capture him as her minion, so he’s in every episode.
