Right now the east coast of North America is going through a record breaking cold front. I have a miserable cold which I know is the result of being outside in the cold waiting for the bus and light rail which all have been suspiciously late this week. I’ve come to the conclusion that I hate people who wear short sleeve shirts when it’s freezing cold outside. What the hell is wrong with them? Do they have ice water running in their veins? So they have cars do they have to flaunt it with their blatant disregard to the temperature. I hate all you winter short sleeve wearing people! It’s winter, wear long sleeve shirts and sweaters like normal decent human beings! Yes, I have a cold and I’m feeling testy!! I also suspect I won’t be in for work on Monday.

On another note I now have all the Paul McGann Big Finish Dr. Who audios including Zagreus and Scherzo. Listening to Zagreus I feel like I now know what it’s like to be on drugs. I guess I’ll have to give it another listen to. I liked Scherzo for the reasons that other fans hated it. They complained that it was too soap operish and delving into Buffy the Vampire Slayer territory. I for one loved hearing that Charley loves the Doctor and the Doctor loves Charley. Finally, a Doctor Who love story!!!

Yesterday, I was cheering in the bitter afternoon cold with my nose dripping like a faucet while waiting for my train to arrive. I was cheering because I was spot on about who killed Rose on As The World Turns. It was revealed that Will killed the much beloved and equally despised Rose. Will is the teenage brother of Paul. Paul was going to marry Rose then move to Paris. Looks like he can’t do that anymore since his kid brother bumped her off. I knew there was something a little weird about that kid. He seemed overly attached to his big brother and just a tad bit overly jealous of Rose. In case your wondering how I found out. I happen to have a walkman radio that can get tv stations as well as regular radio stations.

Since my favorite soap opera message board, MediaDomain appears to be permanently in update mode I’ve been lurking and posting on Soap City. This is great because I’ve noticed that other former posters of MediaDomain have migrated over there.

My Ioan Gruffudd Film festival is almost over. Ever since I got Netflix all I do is watch Ioan (pronounced Yo-wan) movies. Yes, this could and will quickly devolve into a he’s so fine, he blows my mind piece.

I started watching his movies because the Horatio Hornblower films have been getting raves over at Outpost Gallifrey. I’ve become a fan because he’s a very good actor and he’s not afraid to take off his shirt or expose his very fine ass. He really is a very good actor I swear! It’s not just the thrill of seeing an extremely good looking guy half naked. Anyway, as far as Hornblower is concerned I’ve seen almost all of them except for the ones that ran in December on A&E. I hope to see the Jerry Bruckheimer mega production of King Arthur when it opens in July of 2004. Ioan will be playing Lancelot. One thing I can say is that they definitely cast the right guy for that role. Since my days of Ioan will soon be over soon and my Netflix movie queue empty I asked the fine folks over at Outpost Gallifrey to suggest what I should add to my queue of DVD’s. I have added all their suggestions that were available at Netflix. I can’t wait to see the wild hodgepodge of films they suggested. I’m particularly looking forward to seeing Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.

My birthday was yesterday. Little David called to say Happy Birthday. I had no idea he knew when my birthday was. For my birthday I made my self Creme Brulee. I have never made it before nor have I tasted it before. I’m only interested in it because I saw a movie called Amelie and in the movie she made a Creme Brulee and I always wondered what it tasted like. I suppose it turned out all right.

I am happy as can be because I’m free at last!! Ever since we moved into the new building I did not have card access to our area. The area I work in is considered a secure area therefore you need special card access to enter. I did not have this despite working in the same department for 4-5 years. This happened because just before our big company move my badge became cracked and I had to get another. The badge that I got from HR was defective because their badge making machine was broken in the move. They had to have some guy from the badge making company come in and fix it. It took several weeks before it was fixed. In the meantime I could only enter my department by knocking very loudly on the door or flagging someone down in the hall who had a badge. It was very inconvenient for me and my co-workers. Now since the software for my badge has been downloaded I feel happy as can be. I’m Free at Last! Free At Last! Thank God Almighty, I’m Free At Last!!
