Ha ha, I just checked the Shimura Curves email and there was a physicist from Stanford asking for the lyrics to "I'm Not Afraid"! Awesome! (Now I really hope all the physics is correct. But honestly, who really knows what happens to the GUT in a black hole? Apart from Time Lords, natch, as they invented them.)
I wrote a song about non-Euclidean geometry last night, because I had to explain to my mum about Great Circles and how the shortest path between two points on a globe is *not* a straight line. (And wondering what would happen about travel within a 4-dimensional curved surface, such as the post-Einsteinian universe... hrmmm.)

It's not like the IRL ones ever go anywhere anyway. :-(
Anyway, who cares. La la la la, I'm not afraid of the family Slitheen. Sycorax, Cybermen, or even Dalek Queens. My new ambition is to be the new Delia Derbyshire. I've got to get a theremin. If I hadn't spent all my money over Xmas, I might go and get a kit.

...I, or my accurately my ribs, made it thru my boxing day match unscathed apart from being totally knackered. I was planning to play a half only, but we only had 15 turn up, so had to do the whole game.

I'm finally getting around to watching Babylon 5 again, too. I can't belive I've had the first series for over a year, but never had the time to watch it. It's so intimidatingly long - not like short British serieses. But that's good, I suppose.

Kate - I have the Jazzmaster!! OMFG, aren't they great!! The vast array of sounds you can get is just amazing from crazy garage-surf to wall-of-shoegaze noize. I love love love it, and now I want a JAGUAR!!

Aah, yes, I went through that stage with the Jazzy when I first got it. But then all the switches broke and now it's stuck in the one sound. :-(

Torchwood = like the X-Files from the other side, where the impressive trenchcoated and torchlighted heroes are the men (and women) in black whose job it is to cover up all the mysteries. Sadly not as good as Men In Black. Also a study of sexual mores in Binge Britain, and of how interoffice tensions work them selves out in a no-oversight "we are the law" setting (these two observations nicked from mark s, but steal from the best). Lots of boy on boy and girl on girl action, if that's what your mother likes. Captain Jack is the leader - he's not very good at it, but it does mean that he's less Jackish than in the main series.
Prepositions, Ed, they could save your life! 'Dance with' as in 'adjacent to, and ideally eventually overlapping'. It seems a standard tool in the modern bachelor's repetoire, but I've rarely even noticed the opportunity until afterwards.
