Frangipani in The Afternoon Sun
Posted 27 January 2009 in Random Photographs by Catriona
Well, at least someone is enjoying this weather.
This is more than a half-hearted update, however: it’s also a note to say that I will be live-blogging Doctor Who this evening, and continuing throughout the ABC’s airing of season two. It will mean a hiatus to my real-time blogging of season one, which I’d barely started, but it’s always more fun when we’re actually watching the episodes on television.
Remember, if you’re not an NCIS fan: ABC1 at 8:30 p.m. (Brisbane time for the live-blogging, of course).

Im very excited that you will be live blogging on a Tuesday, it’s such a quiet TV day.
The only problem is that I got all excited about it and then realised that I have just watched the majority of season 2 with Jack in our NYE/D Doctor Who marathon. So i’ll be either be re-watching again …. and you cant really watch it too often (although Andrew would disagree) or i’ll just be enjoying your version as i replay the episode in my head.

I think that if you’ve seen them recently, then you don’t have to rewatch—you’ll already remember them well enough. Or you can mostly read and keep it on in the background.
But part of why I’m doing this instead of continuing season one and then doing season two later off DVD (well, apart from the fact that doing it live forces me to do it every week, instead of getting lazy) is that I suspect people are more interested and—and this is the important part for me, the part that I love—more inclined to debate the episodes in the comments if they’ve just seen it on the telly.
Wendy, I’d forgotten all about Hamish Macbeth. Perhaps you’ll be lucky and it’ll be a boring, Isobel-heavy episode. (It is Isobel who annoys you, isn’t it?) I wasn’t even considering the tennis, because part of the reason why I have a blog is to allow me to impose my own prejudices on the rest of the Internet.
Well, no, not really.
Maybe a little bit.

yes me too…(on the reason for having a blog!)…a little bit also.
I do own hamish on dvd so can probably count it out for later watching.
so just flicking two channels…i can definitely manage that.
