someone who's doing some things
I finished listening to the 3rd part of this new 4th Doctor story today. I have to say it was very unusual indeed, but I really enjoyed it and I have no idea where the story is going now.
I’m hoping that the last 2 episodes will get released before Christmas. Something to look forward to right?
It’s kind of fun getting ready for Christmas. All the things that you expect to happen. The last minute shopping, the getting together with people for no apparent reason except ‘it’s Christmas’.
It’s like a kind of ritual preparation. A habit that gives comfort in some ways. Getting ready for the break at the end of the year.
I’m just looking forward to some time off.
I’ve been messing around with Dashcode for a few days, and I have a few ideas and plans of things I might make, so you may see a few things crop up over the coming weeks which will add a little bit more fun to the site.
I’ve just been reading about a terrible plan to bring Doctor Who to the big screen. Apparently the director of the last few Potter movies is planning to move the Doctor to Hollywood.
What a terrible idea, what a really awful idea. The only good thing that came out of the last attempt at taking Who to the US was that Paul McGann ended up doing the most excellent series of audio books for big finish as the 8th Doctor.
I have no hopes of this plan bringing anything good to the world of Doctor Who.
I pulled a load of my samples of veteran cars into The Strange Agency’s Donut iPad app yesterday and had a lot of fun just manipulating them for a while. It made me think about doing something a little more permanent with these samples so I’m loading them into BeatMaker 2 to see what I can make that might be interesting.
When I’m done with it I’ll post up the results.
Ok, my last post about the veteran car rally for this year anyway. I’ve never had a programme from the rally before, so it was great to get one this year after so many years of watching the event.
A glass of ale and a film beckons for this evening. Peaceful.
Interesting what things from the past rise to the surface from time to time. I’ve had these two badges for many years now and I can’t remember the last time I saw them.
They bring back lots of good memories.
I’m really looking forward to getting this. I’ve enjoyed this series so far and this will be the third of 5. I hope that they all come out before the end of the year.
I realised today that I haven’t seen a single kid asking for a ‘penny for the guy’ this year. It seems to have become a lost tradition. Years ago I remember loads of kids by bus stops and stations all asking for a penny for the guy. Of course inflation had an impact and I’m sure I once heard a ‘pound for the guy’!
But now it seems to be no more. That’s a shame.
