thanks imdb

I was on tvguide.com, looking for something to watch (Masterpiece Theatre is on the TV right now, Poirot just shut up and tell everyone who killed that person for god's sake) and there was a movie on Scifi called Dog Soldiers, starring Sean Pertwee. Two thoughts occured to me: ahaha, dog soldiers, wtf scifi? and Pertwee is not a very common last name, is it? That guy has to be related to Jon Pertwee, the third Doctor. Then I was like wow I am a geek for knowing this. I looked it up, Sean Pertwee is Jon Pertwee's son.

I am reading this book, Daughter of Fortune, that I started out mildly liking but now I am liking it a lot. It's about this girl in like 1850 in Chile and she falls in love with this guy and she follows him out to California during the gold rush. And there's actually a lot more to it then that, there's lots of interlocking characters and stories and stuff and it's reallyy really good and now I want to read more women-in-the-west-y type things, does anybody have any suggestions I wonder. Last summer I was on a women-pirate kick. Re-read all the Jacky Faber books. Good stuff.

I'm finally getting my paycheck this week. Oh. Yes. I get all excited about it then I think, will money really make me happy? Then I think. Maybe. It'll help.

  1. There was a rumor going around about Sean Pertwee being the next Doctor. I hope he gets the role.

  2. WHAT are you kidding? Wait isn't Matt Smith the next Doctor? Sean Pertwee could be the next next Doctor. He was pretty badass as a werewolf.
