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. 😉

It makes me wonder what a pod from Arkansas would look like.
Ok, that clip has made me want to buy a copy of that audio play…too bad it’s only available in Britain. I suppose I could go to their website and see if I can directly purchase it.
Addn. Ms Christian has appeared (if that is the right word for it) in a series of audio dramas for the Radio Repetory Company of America. You can check them out at http://www.rrca.com.
Anyway, here’s a website I think you should know about: 80stees.com.
They’ve got T-shirts & other cool stuff from various TV shows and movies… with special emphasis on programs from the 1980s…from the well-known(GI Joe, Transformers, Care Bears) to the slightly obsure (Thundercats, Jem, Rainbow Brite) and all points in between (Magnum P.I., Knight Rider, MASH). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
