Weekend Update

 

Audio/Video/Telly

 

 Doctor Who - Cold War. So yeah it's another character (ice warriors) from the distant past kind of episode. It was okay but I want to know what the deal is with Clara. It's like they've forgotten to even tell that story. And what happened to the Silence? I guess I had gotten used to the whole large story arcs as a season unfolds but this just seems a lot of stand alone episodes that don't really move the story along in any kind of way. I've been very underwhelmed so far.

 Community - Puppets. We got a puppets episode. Nuff Said. It's always something fun and different. Bravo.

Ben and Kate - Started watching this due to a recommendation. Ben is kind of annoying in a stupid way, but Kate is the real treasure here as she tries dating and starting her life all over after having a baby at a very young age. Not that that reminds me of anyone.

New Girl - CeCe is freaking out over her soon to be (Indian!) wedding, because she has never seen her fiancées  penis. So it's up to Nick and Winston to get a pic of it for her. Yeah. It goes about how you would expect.

Movies - I was reading about some movies in production and came across the best news of all: they are making Isaac Asimov's Foundation books into a movie. This reminded me of another movie which was closely related so I went back and watched The Adjustment Bureau. Awesome stuff.

Music - I added some Snow Patrol after a conversation with a friend.

Books - I am re-reading (again) Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. Great book about a high school kid that hacks a lot of ordinary items in his school/life that gets him in trouble once he disagrees with the "establishment" over recognition software that tracks everyone like Stalin. Looking forward to the next book Homeland, if I can ever get the book club web page to work.

Sports

Braves - The Braves started off the week by sweeping the Marlins in three games. The big test was then going to Washington and playing the team everyone thinks will win it all this year. The Braves had something to say about that as they swept them also 6-4. 3-1, and then a 9-0 clobbering. They currently have the best record in baseball at 11-1. Go Braves!
