I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

Sorry, I just got this in my in-box, in response to saying (a long time ago), that I just saw DT as "an ordinary" guy.

This is what some teenage girl--with the word "fu_ked" as part of her user name (how charming)--wrote to me:

DT is absolutly amazing
and one of the best actors ive seen in a long time!
he was fantastic in casanova, blackpool and of course, doctor who!
maybe you should watch some of his stuff before you say hes "just a scottish guy who happens to be an actor"

Well excuuuuseee me!

Wow, some of these fan-girls are a bit over the top---most are perfectly normal, but some are a bit...well, you know.

Have you seen the DT videos on YOutube?

"David laughing," "David Yawning" "David sneezing" "David doing a poo"...okay, I made that one up.

David Tennant ISN'T every girl's sexual fantasy!

I appreciate that these girls and women think he's some kind of Scottish Brad Pitt, but isn't it silly to expect everyone to feel that way?

I'm sorry, but if I ever do start to be attracted to someone, it'll be because of more than what's in his pants, or his smile, trust me on this. I don't relate to Tennant's personality--he's too...young and hyper for my tastes. I'm disabled, I relate to calm and patient (and a great sense of humour, of course)...so please...respect my opinion, yes?

Once again, (since you've likely been busy getting all hot and bothered by that funky photo down there...) I love Tennant for his ACTING abilities. Period.

Although, I might pay to see him doing a poo...kinky...

Erma kept wondering why her underwear smelled like dog pee...

Mr. Plock, the elementary school's sex education teacher, decided that the kid's needed a little field trip...

Chinese government officials jealous of the success of the Harry Potter films, have developed their own version of the films, featuring two precocious Red Army cadets using Communist approved magic, to save the world from the evil Western Capitalist Sorcerer, known only as "W".

Oh dear. I was in the middle of reading a West Wing fan fiction story that someone wrote on "Movie fan fic chains.com," when I've found that apparently, it no longer exists.

That's very strange, because it was there on Sunday. I spoke to the website owner on Friday, and she didn't say a word about the website being removed. Wonder what happened? I've tried several different tactics but keep getting told that either the page won't load, or that the page no longer exists.

That's too bad. I rather liked that site. There wasn't the massive egos, childish nonsense or uptight attitudes on that site, as one finds on far, far too many fan-fic sites.

Someone--a brand new fan-fic writer, had just submitted the first chapter of a Doctor Who story and I kept hoping she'd write some more, as she had me rather intriqued, and I was trying to encourage her to continue.

Just because I've decided to give up writing Dr Who stories, doesn't mean that I have to stop enjoying stories that other fans write

Well, I like reading fan-fic, except for that gawd-awful Who-porn...David Tennant has a lot to answer for in the world of fan-fiction, ha-ha.

Well...there was this one story, where the writer claimed that the Doctor's willie was sentient and could change size..and movement... to accommodate his (the Doctor's) partner's desires. Alriighty then....

And, the REALLY dirty one, where the Doctor is into bondage and seduces Rose with his tongue, wille..and a cucumber laced with a special gel...chock full of female orgasms in every paragraph, very steamy.

I almost lost my virginity, reading that one.

That scene wasn't just a dirty weekend in the Tardis, honey, it was a mud-bath!!

(In case you're looking for them--they're on the Teaspoon/Open mind, website)

UPDATE: It's back! That was well weird, wasn't it?

Just heard the news that work may be cutting some people or laying them off...don't know if the rumour is true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. Imagine with all my illnesses of late, that I might be near the top of the list. Oh well. We'll see what we shall see.

Just had my lunch at 5pm, now I'm trying to decide whether to bother with dinner. I bought a cheap split broiler chicken, for $1.72 (Less than one pound that would be, in the UK, can't beat that price)...I suppose I could season it with some Memphis BBQ or Quebec style seasoning, and bake it. I've some instant cornbread stuffing mix and some frozen broccoli I could cook up to have with it...not sure I'll be hungry enough tho'. I also bought two crab cakes for 2 dollars, and am thinking rice pilaf and some frozen cauliflower to cook with that. Decisions, decisions...thank goodness all the hot dogs are used up. Any more hot dogs and I was going to start looking like one!

Flame just woke up and is begging for attention. The boys are passed out, Boots on the old Victorian chair and Charlie on the floor alongside me.

Still very tired. Glad the day is over. Have to go to the doctor's for my shot in the morning, so it'll be an early rise for me, as I shall have to walk to the shop 4 streets away to ring up the cab. Can't wait 'till pay day on Friday so I can get a new phone card--it's a real drag having to walk ten minutes to use a phone, let me tell you.

So, I'm sitting here sipping my diet lemon iced tea and trying to drag myself out of my chair to do my lunch-time washing up. Ho-hum.

I remember when I was doing historical research on Albany Rural Cemetery, I cam across a heart-breaking story. In the early 1900's, a husband and wife--very much in love, went out after dinner. Leaving their infant daughter with a grandparent, the young couple decided to walk into town to see a silent picture show at the theater there. They were at the rail crossing, when the wife's laced up high-heeled shoe got caught in the rail tracks. The husband tried and tried, but he could not free her. As an in-bound train came tearing towards the town, all the husband could do, was hold her as the train ran them down.

A sad tale to uncover.

Even sadder, is the fact that in many ways, and down through dozens of years, history will repeat.

I was just now reading how Los Angles police were chasing a driver who was driving erratically, and speeding through intersections, with the cops hot on his tail. There was a young couple crossing with the light at one particular intersection. They were holding hands, when the criminal driver ran them both down. The couple--whose names have not been released, were both killed instantly.

Sad, sad news.

I thoroughly dislike everything the republicans stand for--have since the early 1980's.

Yet, I have a LOT of reservations about Obama.

For one, he claims he's all for racial equality, yet the man has repeatedly displayed racism in regards to Muslims....refusing the request of a Muslim congressman to speak to a Muslim group in favour of Obama's run for the presidency, refusing to be photographed with women wearing head scarss, now---the man's aides are freaking out because a cartoon depicted him as a Muslim....yeah, he's REALLY into racial equality--as long as it doesn't apply to Muslim's, apparently.

Sorry, and it really has nothing to do with his own race, but...I just plain do not trust this man. I don't think he's the type of leader we need, right now. I don't think he can give this country stability, because, honestly? I don't think Barack Obama is quite as strong and stable as we've been lead to believe. I don't think this man has a lot of scruples--perhaps more than Bush, but most people have more scruples than Bush, so that's not saying much. I think Obama is two-faced, right down the line.

I'm not bothering to vote this year. McCain is a yes man, and Obama is a lying prat.

My little bout with sleeplessness last night is catching up with me this morning.

Still, could be worse. At least I don't have to be to work until noon, so I've had time to do some chores this morning, and now can relax for a half hour before changing into my office duds.

I'm thinking, with the situation at work being what it is, that the office won't be having it's annual Lake George cruise this year, which is a shame, because I was planning on going this year (last year I was still recovering from my near-miss with the grim reaper, and wasn't well enough to go.)

I was checking out Youtube for a good clip of a loon call, and as I played the video I put on that last post, Boots, who was sleeping, suddenly popped open his eyes wide and started staring at the monitor screen like, "What the HELL is THAT???" Cracked me up, it did.

Another overcast day, but cooler, thankfully.

Debating going back to bed for a half-hour but probably won't. Grabbed breakfast of a bagel with cream cheese and some orange-pineapple-banana juice, and got busy picking up some books Flame knocked on the floor again. She was quite pleased with her work. I was less than thrilled, but I love her so, what can you do?

Checked out the local news in today's newspaper:

A man burned to death in a road crash yesterday afternoon, due to excessive speed and passing cars in a no passing zone, on the Wilton Mountain road. The 48 year old man crashed his pickup truck into a tree and the vehicle caught fire. I've been up and down that road, dozens of times. It's a genuine mountain road--very steep and full of hair-pin turns...and rather narrow, as well. I can imagine he got stuck behind a slow-moving vehicle...it's nearly straight uphill, at one point, and got all impatient. He may have been drinking, no way to tell, at this point. Not a good way to die...and worse, because it was just so incredibly stupid.

Also in today's paper:

The Paisley Party concert at Saratoga Performing Arts Center was a big hit, despite a heavy downpour of rain.

Some 700 people in two local counties lost power in the storms last night, but it should be restored by this morning.

A dog is missing following a minor traffic accident on the I-87 motorway. A boxer named Moose escaped his owner's Jeep, after the driver lost control and drove off the road. The other dog in the vehicle was recaptured.

The Agricultural Stewardship Program in Washington County sponsored a bike tour this weekend, called, the "Tour de Farm." The highlight of this year's event, held in the town of Cambridge in the Cambridge Valley region, was the local heritage of folk artists, most especially Grandma Moses, and her son, Will Moses.

The Lake George Association is looking for volunteers as they prepare to conduct their annual loon census. (

Local teens from a club called Twisted Teens, had their first taste of the British sport of cricket on Saturday, in the city park downtown. The event was sponsored by the Crandall Public Library.

LOON ON LAKE GEORGE:

Geez, it's almost 3am. I am going to be too tired to work tomorrow! Shoudn't have had those two big glasses of Coke Zero. Haven't had any cola in a week...think I've met and surpassed my quota. Blimey! I'll be toasted tomorrow. Methinks I hear my bed harking me...have a good morning, all.

...cute sketch---the chemistry between these two actors is just so natural seeming and charged and simply...amazing. I'm so going to miss that lovely DT/CT combination. I hope they'll find a way to bring her back...or, perhaps they already have...

"That's right lads, get a nice shot of my sexy Scottish bubble arse! That'll make the fan girls squee, ey?"

Yeah, gotta' use up those dogs, ya'know. Tonight I had them with the works: hot dog charlie meat sauce, mustard and chopped onions, with fries and corn. I think I'm gonna' start dreaming of the darn things...tonight means that I've eaten 20 hot dogs in 2 weeks. Oh god.

Well, after tomorrow, I get to start on my 8 hamburger patties....well, at least THAT counts as actual meat--never know what's in a hot dog.

So, before bedtime I'm chillin' to a totally random mix from Pandora. Usually I click which stations I want to listen to, tonight, I'm just letting it surf on its own. I added some stations, and I lost some stations, 'cos I simply can't think of the artist's name(s). Since I've so very seldom bought records, tapes or CD's---mostly I just listened off the radio all my life...especially when CD's came in, 'cos they were/are hugely expensive, compared to vinyl and cassettes, so when vinyl and cassette were made more or less redundant, I stopped prowling the record stores, simply because I had no desire to spend wads of cash on a CD player and CD's, when I could listen for free over the airwaves...what can I say? When it comes to music, I'm mostly a bit of a cheapskate. When the radio in my old 1976 Dodge Adventurer pick up truck died, rather than pay 75 dollars for a new one, I just started singing to myself, instead. Well, not at traffic lights, ha-ha.
