Doctor Who

This afternoon I finished watching Season 2 of Doctor Who. I have to admit it took me a while to get into it. I love the way the Doctor looks serious and hopeless one minute and then decides to look the opposite. The big disarming grin. Love it. It's the old "change your point of view"routine. (Does anyone remember the "Change your point of view" song from Square One? Here's the YouTube for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlqEVnSmBNY
The long goodbye to Rose was a little much. I caught the end of another episode where all the Doctor's companions unite to save him so I know they meet again at least once. I did like Rose, however. She was quite resourceful and spunky.
As long as I'm doing YouTubes of favorites from kids shows, here is one of my favorite songs from Sesame Street: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LAVVGJtrRM

Harry Potter explains it all

I have been trying to figure out why I fell (hard!) on July 17. Reading Harry Potter it finally was clear to me that it was a hex, curse or jinx. Since I have no memory of a cause, I wonder if it was an Imperius curse. The other possibility is a leglock curse. I wonder how many other unexplainable things in life could be explained if we found the witchie cause? The current economy and contentiousness in Congress is obviously due to the ascendancy of the Dark Lord. He must still have some Horcruxes around since we have certainly been through this before. This bears further thought and investigation.

What to do on a hot day.

It is supposed to get up to 102F today so I am planning indoor activities. The first will be to work on the Focal Point web site. I think there is a nap for me in the plans. It is also time to pay my Visa and balance my Quicken. When the sun goes down, I'll take in the wash I put out at 8 this morning.

Current foci

I was going to title this "current obsessions" but I need a less intense word than obsession. Oh well.

Current foci:

1. Weight Watchers I will reach goal weight in my lifetime.
2. Veganism: I am almost a vegan. I still succumb to cheese occasionally.
3. Reading: I keep "buying" free books for my Kindle but am not reading them. I am going to get it filled up with unread books if I am not careful.
4. Re-reading the Harry Potter books. I am up to Order of the Phoenix (I'll finish it today).
5. Staying cool. I am housebound by the heat. I do the "do something for 15 minutes" thing so I don't become welded to my recliner.
6. Recovering limited mobility. Since I fell two weeks ago, I have been dealing with upper back pain. Back spasm make the lower back pain feel like nothing.
7. I just checked out a book about Beethoven's symphonies and the first two symphonies from the library. I want to teach myself something
8. I have a gazillion books to teach myself drawing checked out from the library.
9. I am slowly clearing the living room in preparation for room remodeling.
10. I have, once again, made the resolution to blog regularly. Consistency is NOT my middle name.

Later dudes and dudettes.
