nope, can’t watch the Oscars after all…

Oscar.com is not streaming the actual ceremony.

I’d like to thank the Academy for screwing over everyone not in the U.S.

…online from where I am, here in London. Assuming I can get Oscar.com to play nice — and that I can stay awake — look for Oscar live-blogging here in a few hours…

Conveniently for drinking from, plus it’ll remind me where I am, in case I forget.

I no longer have to translate military time in my head. 16:30 is just, you know, 16:30, not 4:30. Neat.

first look at the ‘Doctor Who’ Experience… and I got my ticket

Oh yes: I’ve got my ticket. The BBC ignored my query about a press preview. Or maybe they’re not having a press preview. Either way, I’ll attend on Monday, and report soonest afterward about how totally freakin’ cool it is. Or isn’t.

There are not enought trash bins on the streets, tube and rail platforms, and other public byways of London.

I am very very very tired of the “heroic badass slo-mo walk away from explosion.” Time to invent a new cliché, hack directors. Thank you.
