Misadventures: Because You Know You Missed Them

It's been two long weeks.  Earthquakes, hurricanes, record flooding... and it's the first week of September which always means that people decide they need to do all the work they neglected to do for the earlier Summer months.

Yet, when Beetchie and I go out together, I am still surprised by the mishaps that occur when we're out together.  But why should I be? The weeks have been crappy and meeting up with Beetchie at the end of it all should always signal some sort of disaster.

Don't believe me or need a reminder?

What about the raw squid or raw taro? That doesn't sound like horror to you? Well it should because it sure was horrible to us.

What about that almost awful head injury?

Exploding bakeries? Anyone?

And countless other events (including all of the Japan trip) that I am not recalling here; I am beginning to feel like a broken record.

So why so surprised every time something happens? Well, because it's almost unbelievable.

That's not to say that we did not have a good Summer last year when we got Doughnut Plant doughnuts for the first time...or Ippudo or went to see Scott Pilgrim.  I don't recall anything odd happening and maybe that's just what the problem was.  Again the built up pressure of non-happenings could no longer hold and resulted in Saturday Morning's events.

We went looking for Nom Wah Tea Parlor.  On Google Maps, it appears to be right next to Joe's Shanghai but what we found next to Joe's Shanghai was this:

Really?

Obsessions of the Week(s): 12/25/2010 - 01/02/2011

Doctor Who


David Tennant, to be exact.

H1 and I have off and on been trying to watch Series 2 of Doctor Who. This week with TD5 coming for a visit, I thought, 'what better time to watch Who than to torture a friend'. So marathoning we have been on the 10th Doctor's season. We just finished Series 2 and started up 3 and I must say, I love Tennant. I find him cute. As a Doctor, I find him sweet. Do I love him more than the 11th? Hmm, it's hard to say or maybe I'll just say, they're both awesome in their own ways.  But Tennant? He's got nerdy rocker Zarnyx glasses going for him... 

I will also say of the show that I can see why people liked him and why they liked the Russell T. Davies series so much rather than this Moffat series. It's got more technical sci-fi bits going on, but I still really loved the latest season with the 11th and am totally excited for next year's new season. The 10th Season though was some excellent stuff. That Dalek/Cybermen battle, in addition to Rose's send off were competely fab.
