It is cold and rainy today. Which is better than colder and snowy, I suppose. Mal and Zoe both seem to enjoy sitting in the window watching the rain and I'm warm and snug inside, so things could be significantly worse.
Buffalo and Boston played their second game of round one this afternoon, and being a little bit bored, I watched most of the game from the perspective of the NBC ISO cam focused on Zdeno Chara. Kind of a weird way to watch a game, since the camera follows one player the whole time he's on the ice, whether he's anywhere near the puck or not. There's no play by play, instant replay or anything fancy like that, just whichever player their focusing on and the sounds of the game. Next game I watch like this, I'm going to try to watch with a radio broadcast and see how well it syncs up. If it works well enough, I might watch tomorrow's Penguins game this way. At least I'd be able to see a little bit of the action that way. eta: Of course, the whole NBC thing should have tipped me off but didn't because apparently I didn't have my thinking head on yesterday. NBC ISO cam is only when there's a game actually airing on NBC, which a) isn't going to happen for the Pens this round, and b) it would make more sense to just watch the game on NBC when it does happen. Oh well, so much for that work around. *laughs at self*
Today is officially Doctor Who Saturday. I watched Enlightenment (Fifth Doctor) which was a bit silly but fun. Think sea-going vessels from down the centuries, transplanted into outer space, engaged in an America Cup like race around the Solar System. And then add a little more bizarreness because it's Doctor Who.
Next up was The King's Demons, another Fifth Doctor adventure, set in thirteenth century England, in which the Master once again tries to take over the universe by mucking about in England. I liked the Chameleon quite a bit, and there were knights and a boy who looked a lot like Bradley James, and the Doctor engaged in swordfighting.
I found Tegan very annoying in both episodes. She's very shrill, whines a lot, dislikes everyone and everything and yet refuses to just go home when the Doctor offers to drop her off. I think she's my least favorite companion to date (keeping in mind that I'm only familiar with the companions of Four and Five, and the current ones).
And then, because I still had lots of time on my hands and today's episode isn't available yet, I watched the Confidentials for eps one and two of this season.
Did I mention that Mal rousted me out of bed at 7:30 this morning, despite it being Saturday and my day to sleep in? Yeah, it's already been a long day and it's only 4:30.
