In my search for a Doctor Who ringtone for my Treo 650, I ran across this site which lets you mix … well, mix your own Doctor Who theme elements. Hours of fun, at least until your housemate strangles you or makes you plug in headphones.

How Dave and Margie spent their Anniversary Night (PG-rated version):
And that’s all I need to say about that. But it was a very, very nice evening.
(Thanks, Doyce!)

Friday we did … well, this stuff. When we got home, Margie played some CoH, and I watched this week’s Doctor Who.
Saturday — whilst Margie was taking Kitten to ice skating class and going shopping, I was busy doing Spring cleaning in the backyard. I was also considering how we need to realign sprinklers back there now that we have the extended deck. Also started counting up fence pickets that needed replacement.
In the late afternoon, we went with Jackie and Stan to the Melting Pot for supper. Yum. Afterwards, adjourned to Doyce & Jackie’s place to play some CoH. Home early, and set the clocks forward.
Today? Skipped church and got tihngs ready for my trip to California (bleah). Made some yummy French Toast.
Aside from that, not much to report. Heck, that’s not much to report, either. 🙂

After Les’s reminder, I watched the two premiere episodes of the new Doctor Who series (the first season thereof, broadcast in the UK and Canada over a year ago).
Random comments:
I am not the most die-hard of Who-fans. I started with the John Pertwee era, and segued into Tom Baker, then sort of lost track. But I care enough for the show to be going “ooh” and “aah” over the quick flashes of Daleks we got to see.
Gonna watch it again? Oh, yeah.

The new Doctor Who series has a need for dwarf midget little people as actors for various extraterrestrials. They’re running into a couple of large problems:
Bosses wanted them to play tiny blue aliens – but most have been snapped up for the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie and to play Gringotts Bank staff in the new Harry Potter film. Dr Who executive producer Russell T Davies said: “It’s very difficult to employ persons of restricted growth when, as our producer Phil Collinson says, `Bloody Gringotts and the Chocolate Factory are filming at the same time’.

Alas, the new version of Dr Who will be without Daleks. The evil cybernetic organisms that were always shouting, “EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!” are still owned by the late Terry Nation’s estate, and they were unable to come up with an agreement with the BBC.
The BBC spokeswoman said: “The BBC offered the very best deal possible but ultimately we were not able to give the level of editorial influence that the Terry Nation estate wished to have.”
But an agent for the Nation estate accused the BBC of ignoring copyright laws and said the corporation was trying to “ruin the brand of the Daleks”.
Agent Tim Hancock, who represents the Nation estate, said: “We wanted the same level of control over the Daleks that we have enjoyed for the last 40 years.
Sounds like an unfortunate lose-lose for everyone.

Dr Who is set to make a return to the BBC – but not for another two years. The show’s creators say the series is in the early stages of development and details of who will play the Time Lord will not be available for some time.
The new series will be written by Russell T Davies, creator of the Channel 4 drama Queer As Folk and the acclaimed ITV drama Second Coming.
Cool. Like most Americans, my exposure to the Doctor was mostly to Tom Baker’s long-scarfed incarnation, some bodies ago. And Jon Pertwee, too, of course, his predecessor. It was always a slightly-cheesy-but-usually-entertaining pleasure.
