It makes me happy

For those that don't know, I am a Doctor Who fan. I loved the original series and I adore the new series. I used to stay up late Saturday nights to watch it on PBS. Out of all the doctors, David Tennant is the best!

But this post has nothing to do with David Tennant. One can't mention Doctor Who without mentioning him. So on to the real post.

A poll was conducted by Total Sci-fi about the best science fiction television theme songs. Doctor Who won. If you've never heard the theme song, then you need to check this out:



They change it a little bit for every Doctor. This is the most current version. I've even heard a version with someone playing the spoons.

Anyway, for the rest of the poll, check out http://totalscifionline.com/features/3393-doctor-who-wins-best-sci-fi-tv-theme-tune-of-all-time.

Red Dwarfers will be happy to know they are on the list too.

The Best Toys

My kitty has a lot of toys. He has a Lazar pointer, jingle balls, mice of various shapes and sizes, birds on strings (with many spares - he "kills" these quite often), and lets not forget shoelaces, yarn, cardboard, plastic bags, and any paper he can find. But the very best toys are the ones he finds himself and brings inside. Like this one:


Yes, that is a lizard he's got. He loves being outside on the balcony and sometimes other little animals find their way up there too. Ghost then brings them inside to play. The first he did this, he had a cockroach. This isn't the first lizard he's brought in either, but its the largest one so far.

I'm sure you all know how the story ends. The cat killed the lizard. Big surprise. But cats will be predators.

The lizard has gone on to its next stage in life, and is now fertilizing my tomato plant.

In other news, The Race for the Cure was last Saturday. I made it to the Rivercenter Mall (about half-way) and then had to alternate between running and walking. I didn't see the clock when I started, but I think I finished between 30 - 35 minutes. Which is not bad for my first 5k ever.
