(1) Ten actual students in lecture theatre for late-afternoon info talk, that'll teach me to be all Scrooge-like in my expectations.
(2) Slept like very, very dead thing last night and the night before.
(3) Encyclopedia entry on Shrek was actually coherent.
(4) Giving curriculum advice is a pretty good way to distract oneself from the horror that is Wellington's Day, but unexpected virtual chocolate also helps.
(5) I am deeply enamoured of the first season of the new Doctor Who, which is mad and British in all the good ways. More expensive DVD-buying in my future. And I'm grateful to [livejournal.com profile] strawberryfrog, who flung himself wholesale at my elderly system in order to force it to be compatible with anything this century and actually save the bootlegs.
(6) I clearly need a bigger hard drive, more RAM and a Windows upgrade. Unless I finally succumb to Confluence's Linux blandishments.
(7) None of above (upgrades or Doctor Who) happening any time soon, owing to the shortage of money, which you can't get, you know. (Unchannels Goon Show).

The Doctor

The first series of the new season with Christopher Eccelston is pretty good. The second series (what I've seen so far) with David Tennant is a bit more silly and not quite as good, IMHO.

Bugger! I really liked David Tennant doing creepy-evil in Goblet of Fire. But I have a fairly high silly tolerance, so maybe all is not lost.

Free from any remote sort of user-friendliness, that is. ;P
