Random Thoughts

Doctor Who's return to TV seems to be generating a lot of news in the blogosphere, with Elayne Riggs, Franklin Harris, and Peter David all jumping in right away. Again, as much as I want to see New Who, I have been burned far too many times to believe this until I see proof positive that it's been made. A lot can go wrong between now and 2005, when it's supposed to air.

Wil Wheaton has a funny beer joke up. Well, I thought it was funny. Even though I don't drink beer. Maybe even because I don't drink beer.

Fred Hembeck has been updating his weblog with tales of being addicted to game shows, comments on "The West Wing", and a bit on the Mets. Go. Read.

Johnny Bacardi remembers Winsor McCay, and also has his latest reviews up. Looks like JLA is the only shared book on our lists this week, and he was much more impressed by it than me.

Neil Gaiman has a bit about a slightly scary Russian meal. Having a niece and nephew with allergies, I feel for the folks with Neil.

There's a short interview with Lynn Johnston up that is worth reading. I note that Lynn plans on ending her strip 'For Better Or For Worse' in a few years, as she's going to be 60 and already is having trouble keeping up the pace. via Mark Evanier

Marta has another sketch up from Order of the Phoenix... this one a journey into memory while James was taking his OWLs.

Doc Shazam describes what happens when a modern car hits a horse drawn Amish buggy in Traumish.

Stars and Stripes mentions an effort to get comic books to soldiers. Operation Comix Relief could use donations from anyone who actually has money in this economy. via Journalista

Wil Pfeifer's thoughts on Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

Latest on Mazal the cat: Ahhh, how cute!.

Snopes has a bit on the origins of Gatorade, the danger to bananas, and pictures of a rather deceased snake found under a car hood.
