- The next Twilight movie, which doesn’t open in theaters until November 20, is already selling out. On the plus side, this means it’s less likely that anyone can force me into seeing it.

- Just last week, Gail Simmons was reminding Top Chef viewers that “The language and structure of the kitchen in America is still very much dominated by French terminology…”
Now I learn that Julia Child, author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, has never been translated into French. Apparently, the French see her cookbook as dated and a caricature. C’est la vie.

I’m halfway through watching the Doctor Who interview now, and am getting all excited to see them kill the Doctor. 😉
As much as I have had problems with some of Davies’ episodes, both he and Tennant are passionate and caring about the Doctor and this world. I think it’s in good hands with Steven Moffat, but Davies’ intelligence and enthusiasm will, I think, be missed.
I haven’t loved the last couple of specials — they’ve been okay episodes, but not much more — but “The Waters of Mars” looks and sounds really cool.
I’ll confess that I watched the first Twilight movie. I don’t really know why…just that it appealed to some part of me that has a soft spot in my heart for angst-filled teenagers. Working where I do, I suppose it’s a good thing…
