If you actu­ally vis­ited the site to read this, you may have noticed that the site went through a bit of a ren­o­va­tion. I was get­ting sick of the old theme, as it seemed a bit over the top. I wanted to go with some­thing a little more in the ‘minimalist’ sec­tion. Took me way too long to cus­tomize it to all the things that I did to the former theme, andI’ve still got a couple things to do, but I’m liking it so far.

Another Doctor Who adven­ture comes and goes, and I’m once again left won­der­ing how this got to print. Sting of the Zygons wasn’t a bad story by any means, but the new novels just aren’t doing it for me. With the orig­i­nal Doctor Who book series, the authors were writ­ing sto­ries that were so epic that they simply couldn’t be done on screen at the time. Sto­ries so fan­tas­tic that imag­i­na­tion is a require­ment in order to read them. This is a qual­ity that I find lack­ing within all of the new novels that I have read thus far, with excep­tions being made for The Last Dodo, Stone Rose, and The Clock­wise Man.

Panic! At the Disco actu­ally made a second album? I totally thought that they were going to burn out after their first album “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” but appar­ently I was mis­taken. I mean the first album was self-​contained, and it’s fairly obvi­ous that you can’t really go any­where from it. If they released another album that sounded like it, they’d be accused of repeat­ing them­selves and it wouldn’t have the impact that the first CD did. Tack on the fact that ‘I Write Sins Not Tragedies’ got played to death, and you get a mix­ture for dis­as­ter should they con­tinue on the path they were on.

They didn’t, which shocked me.
