PP: 6 days until the new series of Doctor Who airs. That's not the peeve. I've been a Whovian since I was a kid (since the first episode with Tom Baker aired in fact) (yes, Opus is an old fart). The PP is the first episode is the Daleks. Again. When I was a kid the Daleks were the single most scary thing on the telly bar none. They were intended to encapsulate the mortal (and moral) dread of the Nazis. Now they've become a total friggin' joke. Worse: they've been over used to draw us old school fanfolk in.
I cannot make this clear enough: I could face zombies. I could handle robots. Deadites. Cyborgs. Facehuggers. Vampires. Masked serial killers hacking up screaming teens. Possessed ventriloquist dolls.
But not Daleks. And Davros is a veritable Dark God among SCIENTISTS for utter implacable monomania.
This new episode had better bring back some real visceral terror or I will take steps. And I am not alone in this opinion. If Steven Moffat cocks this up there will be blood in the streets. And sales of jelly babies will plummet.

When I explain to my girlfriend about the TZH Forum Crazies she gives me a certain look. And I respond; "These are my people. Do not question it." And, yay, she is epic and puts up with it. Even though she hates zombies, Doctor Who, SF&F and would rather watch "...The Kardashians" than "Mythbusters" or "The Gadget Show". Amor Vincit Omnia. Just wish she was as big a geek as me.

PP: As I explained on Twitter (@opusfluke) I am a proud Geek. But that means I'm above Fanfolk but below Nerd and Otaku. It pains me. And following CERN on Twitter still only makes me a Science Geek. I'd have to be in communication with someone working at CERN to even qualify as a low ranking Science Nerd. *sigh* Oh well Talis ecce vitae  |

PP: My laptop turns into a fucking jet engine before I go to sleep. I don't get how its perfectly quiet while I'm doing shit on it during the day but when I set it down at night it totally revs up making lots of noise. I can't put it in sleep mode because I want this update to finish too. :/

I still have my insanely long scarf knitted by my grandmother when those episodes were current and I attended conventions. Cheers to us old farts Opus. And there is hope for real life Daleks, Steven Hawking is one meglomaniacal thought away from being Davros. PP: Sunburned 7 year olds. My PP isn't the 7 year old, he is trying to cope, but being at the shore and waiting one day for the burn to go down before full on hitting the beach again is rough on all of us....To the boardwalk! |

Hehe, I had a scarf like that as well. It got lost/stolen years ago though. Pity, I quite liked it.

This. All of this. And people who show up 15 minutes late to the movies. Seriously, the second you hit that door, we all hate you. Everyone. Just turn the fuck around and come back for the next set. |

PP: I was going to pick up Rogue Galaxy, Radiata Stories or Star Ocean: Till The End of Time, some RPG, but I couldn't find my card. Bastard up and left but I'll find it. I need to get my fix and put a game on the backlog that I wouldn't get to for months.
