As I sit here working on the final entry in my much acclaimed, much discussed and much ignored BEST FIVE GAMES OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS, I've had two things on my mind.
First, congratulations to Graeme Burk--my editor on Enlightenment, and a good friend--on his getting commissioned to write Doctor Who: The Wilderness Years for Mad Norwegian Press. I've been privileged to see Graeme's proposal, and he's set himself quite a task: to give a thorough overview of Doctor Who stories that appeared from when the show was canceled back in 1989 until it's re-emergence three years ago. He's going to be looking at things like the novels, comedy specials and audios, with interviews with a large number of the writers/producers. It's a mammoth undertaking, but if anyone can do this, it's Graeme. I look forward to reading it, and of making sure he gets enough alcoholic rejuvantors along the way.
(Mad Norwegian does some top class Who material, as well. I'm currently reading About Time Volume 2, and it's Who geek nirvana. Tons of info, tons of snark, and an enjoyable read to boot.)
The other thing? This song, which has been running through my head for two days now, and will be this week's Aural Caffeine. I love this song, even if the video makes me feel....kinda funny.

Hey, I've definitely been enjoying your video game fave list. I even stole your idea and did my own, albeit inferior, version. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all..
Somehow this reminds me that to remind you, Mr Twist, that we're always looking for new contributors at our Movie and TV blog, The Studio Has A Few Notes (http://thestudioreviews.blogspot.com/). You've certainly got the whole "reviewing" thang down, so any interest in joining the chorus there? At the very least, it'd give you another forum for your Who-musings...
Hello I just entered before I have to leave to the airport, it's been very nice to meet you, if you want here is the site I told you about where I type some stuff and make good money (I work from home): here it is
Adam-bot left one of the most incongruent spams ever. The babel-fish must have been drunk.
I habitually delete comments from my blog that are clearly left simply to promote someone else's blog or website. It's bad enough that I have to put up with advertisements on my TV, radio, comics and even DVDs now... I'll be damned if I'm going to allow them on my blog!
Give my best to Graeme - it should be an amazing book and he is the man to do it. Mad Norwegian ... great books, but getting there must be ten miles of bad road ...
