Another Doctor Who link

If you haven't seen Neil Perryman's review of Last of the Time Lords at Behind the Sofa, whether you share his reservations about the way RTD is taking the series or disagree with them, it's worth reading:

Tinkerbell. Jesus. Manga. Obi-Wan Kenobi. Superman. It's like flicking through a Forbidden Planet shopping catalogue. In the 1970s we had Buddhism rammed down our throats, this time it's magical syrup laced with cheese and pop culture riffs. Bidmead must have been spitting digestives because as far as Russell T. Davies is concerned "hard science" is just a value judgment.

The books meme

Oh no (shouldn't say that as I still haven't read it)! Like tree_and_leaf, I think this is definitely a cue to do some work.

You're Ulysses!

by James Joyce

Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared
to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do
understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once
brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in
the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you
additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.
