Let me sit on the ground and tell sad tales of the death of weird plasma lights
Alas, I bid farewell to one of the weird light fixtures that has graced this house since we moved in. This somewhat embarrassingly shaped plasma light has been kicked to the curb – tonight, it suddenly decided it was going to start smelling like it was about to cause a fire. That’s usually a good indication that its time is up. Ah well, it solves one question – I was at a loose end for where it was going to be situated once the baby arrives. It can’t be in the game room at all because it interferes with raster monitors and, strangely, interferes with the panel controls on any/all of my Samsung LCD monitor/TVs. (It’s been in the bathroom for the longest time, with my Krillitane action figure propped up on top of it in a “flying” pose.) That certainly clears that question up. It didn’t have to scare the hell out of me to do it, though…
And now for a good laugh for your weekend, I present to you a very brief clip from a Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama I listened to today, featuring Colin Baker and Claudia Christian (of Babylon 5 fame). The story it’s from is The Reaping, available in theLogBook.com Store, and I’ll leave it at that – it’s funny enough without any further context. 😉
