Jenn is hosting my non-plussed with hot dog entry, along with lots of photos of the Blackwell v. Axelrod wedding. It has already earned my vote for Wedding of the Year, but I may be prejudiced by my inclusion in the wedding party.

I'm trying to find a single photo of the event where I don't look like I'm about to collapse from exhaustion. It's funny because I felt great that day. I'm beginning to wonder if my default expression is one of soporific stupor and I just never noticed before. Still, it adds to the brooding effect.

I missed the debate but I heard it went swimmingly. All the same, the desperation and despicable tactics of the opposition still sicken me. I need to put myself on news blackout again. Every time I see a republican talking head on TV, I hear a shakily sampled voice from the old Space Hulk video game ordering the space marines to "Cleanse this place with fire."

My birthday falls on a Saturday this year. (Hooray!) So I've decided to celebrate by allowing myself to be a complete couch potato for the day.

On November 17th, I'll be reviewing the television career of one of my greatest childhood influences. That's right! It's Doctor Who's arch enemy, The Master!

Here's the lineup:

• Claws of Axos w/ Roger Delgado and John Pertwee. "You will obey me!"
  
• Keeper of Trakken w/ Geoffrey Beevers, Anthony Ainley and Tom Baker. "A new body, at last!"
  
• The Five Doctors w/ Anthony Ainley, Peter Davidson and assorted Doctor's. "Believe it or not, we were at the academy together."
  
• Mark of the Rani w/ Anthony Ainley and Colin Baker. (Maybe. This one might not make the cut.)
  
• Survival w/ Anthony Ainley and Sylvester McCoy. "We shall become animals!" (Final episode of the old series.)
  
• Utopia, The Sound of Drums, and Last of the Time Lords w/ Derek Jacobi, John Simm and David Tennant. "Vote Saxon [X]"

Screening will begin at 10AM or so. Drop by whenever you feel like it. Stay until you want to leave. It's very informal. Bring food if you like. I intend to have pizza and drinks on hand.

There may be breaks in the showings for Guitar Hero or Wii Sports.

There will be periodic reminders of this event. I just wanted to get the first announcment out so that people can begin to plan accordingly.
