Doesn't having a new bag on wheels qualify me to jump to the head of the page-turner line?

Well, at least I know you'll have some fashionable luggage on board.

I'll move you up in the queue.

Congratulations on the Cruising news DR Jose.  Don't go there DR TCB.

Too late!

2005?  Are you sure you don't mean 2006?

Ginny, isn't it time you got a job?

[JoseSPiano]

Oh... And on the bright side (Part 2)...

And I guess part of lack of sleep could be due to the fact that I've been seeing someone for the past couple of months, so...

      

Just today I was wondering & wasn't sure if I should ask.

Well, there's nothing to ask about right now.  It just is what it is.

How is DD Dixie this evening?  Is she home or at the vet's?

Last we've heard, Dixie is at the vet's, with more surgery having been performed.  Der B's daughter is not keeping us posted hourly, but if there was a real disaster I'm certain we'd have heard something.

Continued vibes for the poor thing.  They must have really screwed up if more surgery was required.

My curiosity has been satisfied, I know you are still dating.

On the bright side...

I just received confirmation today that I will be playing for a former "Disney Princess" sometime in the very near future on the Disney Cruise Line.  This time round, it will be the 7-Day Itinerary with stops in St. Maarten and St. Thomas/St. John.  And just like when I do the audition workshops on board, I will only be "working" for about two hours total, and the rest of the time I get to be a passenger. 

That sounds like great fun!!

yes you are correct

Several years ago (before the "new" Doctor Who even started), I vaguely remember reading something about the transformations and that it had been established YEARS ago that the Doctor could only transform a certain number of times (and then he would really die).  Do you (or anyone) know anything about that? 

During the long run of the series, and I cannot remember exactly when, it was determined that a Time Lord could regenerate twelve times, giving him (or her, if she was a Time Lady) thirteen lives.

However, part of the Master's story arc was that he'd already run through his regenerations, and somehow managed to go further by taking over other people's bodies (see The Keeper of Traken).  And, obviously, he was able to regenerate in the Third Series story Utopia, when he went from being Derek Jacobi to John Simm.

Plus, there is the curious case of The Valeyard, all through The Trial of a Time Lord (aka the 23rd season), who turned out to be a part of the Doctor, somewhere between his twelfth and thirteenth regenerations, who was trying to take over the Doctor's earlier regenerations.

No matter what happens, I'm sure Moffat or whoever will come up with some way of allowing the Doctor to continue.  Where there is a will, there is an ingenious scriptwriter capable of practically anything!

Or they could just ignore that little piece of information.

Revisionist history is rampant in TV series.

Well, I need to be leaving work.  I have to pick up some stuff at my sister's and go to my parents' house.

Until later!

Ignore that little piece of information?  Surely you jest!

Whovians are more dedicated to their subject than any trekkie.  They would notice the lack of adhesion to the history, and would jeer the perpetrator into the Void.

(If the Esteemed BK knew how much more dedicated the Whovians are compared to, say, the film score crowd, his mind would be boggled!)

I am on a Universal kick today (maybe due to the Vera West discussion of a few days back) and just watched a cute comedy from 1940 titled LOVE, HONOR AND O' BABY starring Donald Woods and Kathryn Adams.

Up next was the Andrew Sister's 1942 musical GIVE OUT, SISTERS co-starring Grace McDonald and Dan Dailey and the Jiven Jacks and Jills (which included a very young Donald O'Connor).

Now for another Universal musical, STRICKLY IN THE GROOVE (1942) starring Mary Healy, Richard Davies, Grace McDonald and Ozzie Nelson.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never heard of any of those pictures.

Don't be embarrassed DR Druxy, most of Universal's B films of the 30s and 40s (other then the horror films and Abbott and Costello movies) haven't been seen since that days of the UHF channel late, late, late shows. The only way to find them now is by those who collected 16 mm films, thus the DVDrs that I purchased.

But I tell you, these films are a lot of fun! Nobody made movies like Universal!

[Jane]

Bruce, we finally watched WALL-E.  Yup, a wonderful imaginative movie. 

[MBarnum]

Wow, was it really two years ago that we were all in LA for the Brain! What a fun time that was!!

[MBarnum]

Took a vacation day, DR Jane. And it has been great!

[MBarnum]

Who is the lucky guy, DR Jose! I don't think you have told us...well, at least not in much detail.

[JoseSPiano]

And a little birdie - well, a Facebook status - has told me that DR elmore has made it safe and sound back to NYC.

[MBarnum]

Finished with Tarzan, and finished another Universal, this time the musical mystery THE CRIMSON CANARY (1945) starring Noah Beery Jr, Lois Collier, and John Litel.

[JoseSPiano]

For those DRs who are looking for a way to "endure" the current run of reruns, here's some info on some Webisode series that may help tide you over until the new episodes start back up again:

And a little birdie - well, a Facebook status - has told me that DR elmore has made it safe and sound back to NYC.

I saw that   I bet he is tired.

[Jane]

DR MBarnum, I'm glad you enjoyed your day off & just relaxed.

[Jane]

'night

[bk]

I had a Subway turkey for lunch.  It was very good.  I've been snacking on other things since then, none of them terribly problematic.  I've done Garage Band versions of the two new Nudie numbers, I've watched a motion picture on DVD and am now watching the featurettes that came with.

[bk]

JMK, please let us know how Stairway to Heaven looks.

[Matt H.]

I am on much earlier than usual tonight. I wanted to get the Criterion review finished and posted, but since there weren't that many bonux features to write up, it didn't take nearly as long as I figured. I could have watched an NCIS episode and still not been in any danger of working into the dead of night.
