Happy Nora Day!
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Nora! Yay! Happy birthday! Why didn't you say?
Yeah, I'm not big with the sympathy on that guy, but I am wondering about this:
While in custody and during two years of supervised release, the teenager is prohibited from possessing or using any computer, cell phone or other equipment capable of accessing the Internet.
For two years? It was one thing back 15 years ago when they'd ban the hacking masterminds from coming near a computer, but... well, it'll be tricky if he's still in school, and tricky if he wants to get a job.
Also, Netflix doesn't have Blake's 7 and so I've never seen it. I tried to watch some First and Second Doctor stuff, but I got bored pretty quickly, and what I really wanted to see was the very beginning and the changeover (also, reading summaries it looks like the Doctor had a niece or something originally? What happened to her?). I loved Nine with a deep and abiding love. I'm waiting impatiently for the release of Red Dwarf Seasons 7 and 8 on DVD.
There. Fannish infodump done.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday Nora!

The niece stayed in a post-apocalyptic London, IIRC, this is before they retconned the Dr into an alien - originally he was a time-travelling scientist, I think

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm glad I'm not a bat.
Female bats share mates with their moms
Female greater horseshoe bats like to keep it all in the family — they share mates with their mothers and even their grandmothers — but, somehow they avoid incest, a new study reports.

it is SO dark outside right now. Totally night dark. Crazy rainstorm!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

WHOA. Nora is right. Cloud cover is not the half of it -- I think we must be also having an eclipse.
The world better not end on your birthday, girlie!
