The Doctor, Amazon.Com, Healthcare FAIL, etc


The new trailer for the upcoming Dr. Who with the newly regenerated 11th Doctor and new companion Amy Pond.

With the Christmas and New Year Specials giving David Tennant’s 10th Doctor a proper send-off and effectively ending the Russell T Davies’ era of Doctor Who, this trailer helps whet our appetites for the coming season with Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor and Steven Moffat, who wrote some brilliant episodes in the past such as “The Girl in the Fireplace” and “Blink” among others, taking the helm as executive producer. The trailer above, recently posted to BBC America‘s Doctor Who site, definitely promises the season to be a good one. The previous trailer gives more of a dramatic sense with actual scenes, whereas this one simply sells it. Best Doctor Who teaser since Christopher Eccleston’s offer of a “trip of a lifetime.”

Mr. Deity and the Really Unique Gift (Season Three, Episode Five)


The gifts of God for the people of God: Here, Mr. Deity is pleased with himself about his gifts for his people, but Lucy is appalled. To make matters worse, she tells him what the Greek gods are giving their people. If you were a deity, which gifts would you choose for your people?

Larry/Deity 05 & 6


Mr. Deity mentions the various power loungers such as Genghis Khan and Britney Spears, who seem to demonstrate that there is rest for the wicked. ;-)


As usual, Mr. Deity smiles and laughs through a blunder he incompetently executed, this one being the venture of Jonah. Proof that prophets need hazard pay.

Mr. Deity and the Scripts


A very interesting discussion between Jesus and Mr. Deity about the Gospels, AKA scripts. Enacting four different versions of the same play can be difficult… and confusing. Who knew Jesus had a Brokeback thing for the Apostle John?

Mr. Deity and the Magic


Mr. Deity’s and Lucy’s relationship takes an interesting turn when Lucy tries to explain that magicians really do. They work for her, after all.

Girl, Please!

Even with my unconventional hours of teaching, I don’t have time to tune in to Oprah. This past Wednesday, she interviewed Ted Haggard, nellie closet queen and defrocked Evangelical minister, and the videos are featured in an article in the Huffington Post.

The Ultimate Rickroll

Yes, President-Elect Obama gave us the ultimate Rickroll at the end of 2008 with his choice of Rick Warren to do the Inaugural Opening Invocation. While I’m among the people not thrilled with this choice, I’m going to laugh at it and make the statement in a humorous way. Some people have already beaten me to the punch, especially the person who put together this video pastiche. Gays and lesbians can’t get married, but president-elects and evangelical ministers in ugly Hawaiian shirts can carry on with their bromances.

Definitely on my playlist for you, Mr. President-Elect, this Inauguration Day.
