Briefly before rain

Harold is sitting by the window, looking out into the dark so intently that I'm a little uneasy. Being on this Torchwood* kick recently, the dark seems potentially fraught.

*One of my friends called me on a previous casual reference to Torchwood, as if everyone knows it. I refer of course to the BBC series, which is itself a spin-off of the classic BBC series Doctor Who. For more background, go here (very informative, but major spoilers, don't say I didn't warn you).

I'm just starting season 2 via Netflix, and I think the line "Have you seen a blow fish driving a sports car?" is almost as good as the Doctor Who classic line, "The angels have the phone box."

Look at that face:

Who could say no?

I think Harold was looking at a storm coming in. Ten minutes after I wrote that, he's vanished, and I hear the first thunder. Time to turn the computer off. Night-night!

Rain, Rain, Go the F*@! Away

Warning:



Guess what? It's raining! And about 65 degrees! In July!

Hmph.

Fortunately, there is knitting. And Torchwood. Is anyone else watching the Children of Earth miniseries this week? I'm loving it. I'm a night behind, since I'm watching the re-runs at 8 instead of "tonight's episode" at 9. That is, I watched the first one Tuesday*, the second last night**, and will watch the third tonight. Tomorrow, babysitting allowing, I'll watch 4 and then 5. If that doesn't work out, they're on again Sunday, so I won't have long to wait.

*With that cliffhanger, it took me ages to be ready for sleeping!

**And what about that view, toward the end, of, ahem, all of Captain Jack, eh? Whew, that's a handsome devil.

So that's what I'm doing tonight, after a big run to Target (now with more groceries). What are you doing?
