We are still snowed in today. The big pile of snow is blocking our driveway. The plow crews that our community hired did come in today but they did the other side of it first. So right now no one can take the car out. I did get outside for a bit to talk to one of the plowmen. I love the snow even as I don’t like the hassle it causes many people.

Mark, who did great reviews of Harry Potter online this past year, has started watching “Doctor Who” and posting about the episodes he is seeing. He knows nothing of the show, so this is really first impressions. So it made me want to rewatch some episodes. I watched “Father’s Day” again from Season One and that episode always makes me tear up. Then I rewatched “Doomsday” from the end of Season Two. It is funny, but for me there is a strong association between Harry Potter and “Doctor Who.” In 2007, when I heard that James Marsters would be on ‘Torchwood’ for a few episodes, I figured it was time to finally check out “Doctor Who.” I heard about the show but I had very little knowledge of it. So I ordered Season One, disk one, on Netflix. I got the disk close to the night of Book Seven release. Medusa and I were going to the local bookstore at midnight to get our Deathly Hollows books and we had some time to pass. So we got Chinese food and tried out “Doctor Who” together. And we both really liked it. It was a good mix of sci-fi and a bit creepy and interesting. And I really fell in love with the show and the concept with that first season. My favorite Season is Season 4, because I adore Donna and love every episode. It is fun to see the show again through the eyes of someone just watching it for the first time.
