Good News On A Crummy Day

My work day started horribly.  It got okay in the middle.  And then ended horrifically.


But then I see this story HERE, which can be summed up:

Major League Baseball is returning to Montreal — at least for a brief time. According to a report by Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi on Tuesday, the Blue Jays are expected to officially announce that they will play a pair of exhibition games against the Mets at Olympic Stadium next spring. Via Twitter, Frédérique Guay  from TVA Sports says that the games will take place on March 28 and 29, 2014.

...and once again I am happy.

Doctor Who: Doomsday (SPOILER)


ROSE
Where are you?

THE DOCTOR
Inside the TARDIS. There's one tiny little gap in the universe left, just about to close. And it takes a lot of power to send this projection, I'm in orbit around a super nova.
I'm burning up a sun just to say goodbye.



ROSE
You look like a ghost.


THE DOCTOR
Hold on...


ROSE
Can I t-?


THE DOCTOR
I'm still just an image. No touch.


ROSE
Can't you come through properly?


THE DOCTOR
The whole thing would fracture. Two universes would collapse.


ROSE
So?


THE DOCTOR
Where are we? Where did the gap come out?


ROSE
We're in Norway.


THE DOCTOR
Norway. Right.


ROSE
About fifty miles out of Bergen. It's called Dårlig Ulv Stranden.


THE DOCTOR
Dalek?


ROSE
Dårl-IG. It's Norwegian for 'bad'.
This translates as 'Bad Wolf Bay'.


How long have we got?


THE DOCTOR
About two minutes...


ROSE
I can't think of what to say!


THE DOCTOR
You've still got Mr. Mickey, then?


ROSE
There's five of us now. Mum, dad, Mickey... and the baby.


THE DOCTOR
You're not...?


ROSE
No.
It's mum.

She's three months gone. More Tylers on the way.


THE DOCTOR
And what about you? Are you...?


ROSE
Yeah, I'm- I'm back working in the shop.

THE DOCTOR
Oh, good for you.


ROSE
Shut up. No, I'm not. There's still a Torchwood on this planet, it's open for business.
I think I know a thing or two about aliens.


THE DOCTOR
Rose Tyler. Defender of the Earth.


THE DOCTOR (CONT'D)
You're dead, officially, back home. So many people died that day and you've gone missing. You're on a list of the dead.

Here you are.
Living a life day after day. The one adventure I can never have.


ROSE
Am I ever gonna see you again?


THE DOCTOR
You can't.


ROSE
What're you gonna do?


THE DOCTOR
Oh, I've got the TARDIS. Same old life. Last of the Time Lords.


ROSE
On your own?


ROSE (CONT'D)
I lo-

 

ROSE (CONT'D)
I love you.


THE DOCTOR
Quite right, too.

And I suppose... if it's one last chance to say it...



THE DOCTOR (CONT'D)
Rose Tyler...

Superhero Tan Lines

This summer, I am the most tan I have ever been.  A week in the Outer Banks to start the summer and three days of golfing this past weekend.  This seems an appropriate post....
