comes barging in claiming a change of plans, great now what?
So
she says she spent 40 minutes in a broken down humid bus and she's a
bit stressed out. I was mad and upset but followed her to the Swiss
Chalet just down over here and felt a little better when we finally got
inside. I wasn't that hungry and all I had was a side of fries and a
diet cola. We talked about the potential of my Scene movie card and how
many points we could earn towards free movies when we use towards big
ticket items like rent and stuff. We get 4 free movies (just for sighing up) which I haven't tried yet so Anne want's to use them today
while I'm watching Monday night Raw tonight. On our way out of Swiss, I
stopped in for a coffee at the Tim Horton's express and a couple of
double chocolate donuts.
Anne
had to take off again on another errand and I had a bit of a nap and
got woken up around 8pm when she came in. My ipad was ringing and it was
Anne's sister from Winnipeg wanting Anne to use Facetime, that comes
with the ipad. She got a kick out of that and that was a first.
Now Anne and I had been trying to watch the 2nd episode of Season 7 of "Doctor Who" and it didn't disappoint.
About an hour after the show and as I began to open my Blog I checked
i09 one of my go to source for all things SF etc. Then I cam across this *fascinating story about how this weekends Saturday nights World Con
broadcast got shut down just as SF author Neil Gaiman received an award
for his Doctor Who script "The Doctor's Wife" got pulled for copyright *infringement. The broadcast got pulled essentially because the service
gave priority over it's paid subscribers then it's non paid subscribers.
Too funny. There's more to it then that of course and you can read about
it here.
Just
a note here but "Doctor Who" is probably the best thing going on in
Science Fiction TV at the moment. The characters are great, the writing
is top caliber and the FX is about the best anywhere. I don't know if in
my lifetime, I'll ever see a new Star Trek TV series but in the
meantime, Doctor Who suits me just fine.
About
noon I'm off down to Canada Place to Service Canada to see if there I
can fill out my CPP forms and at the same time, to see if I can get a
new Sin card or at least get the paper work together for it. There's a
little Chinese kitchen there as well and I'm either going there to get
some lunch or to City Centre food court. Anyway, that's about all for
now
