It's a topic I avoid to the best of my ability, but one that is rearing its ugly head in my home state of Pennsylvania. Since our primary is so late in the campaign season we usually have no say in deciding the nominees, but this year is very different.

I had been a registered Independent for years but Pennsylvania's primary is a closed one. That means that Republicans vote for Republicans, Democrats vote for Democrats and Independents have no say--unless there is an Independent running. Anyway, I switched parties so that I could have a say. I'm now a registered Democrat. I have strong leanings to that party anyway, particularly on social issues. Now I have to decide whether to vote for Clinton or Obama.

I like certain things about them both and I dislike certain things about them both. A combined ticket would be nice and Clinton has said she would do that, but Obama has not and Obama seems to be more likely to nab the nomination in the end.

Electibility is a term thrown around a lot. Which of the two would me more likely to win versus McCain, or would either win.

Any thoughts?

I found a place where I can get to see the earlier seasons of Doctor Who. Whew! Now if I only had the time to see them all--right now!

So far I've seen the first two episodes of the Christopher Eccleston season and then I skipped ahead to the first two Captain Jack ones. Jack is rather different in Doctor Who. I've heard him described as more carefree and I guess that's a good way of describing him. He's not immortal yet so he doesn't have all those years bearing down on him like he has by the time he's reached Torchwood. It helps me to understand why his fans are so very loyal to him too. He's completely endearing and adorable in what I've seen so far. Enough about Jack, for now...

I like Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor--a lot. I'm sad to know that his stint is limited. Does anyone know why? Did he simply want to move on? I loved him in Heroes and am glad his character will be returning. That show needs all the help it can get at this point. Also I've heard rumors that he will be in the Lost finale this season and will be in Lost next season. I do hope that's true too.

A question for those 'in the know'. Can you embed YouTube clips here or is that forbidden? I'd like to do a blog at some point in the future that includes snips of shows at their best, but I would hate to be breaking some rule or other.

I'm heading away for the long weekend. Have a great weekend everyone and I'll 'see' you when I get back.

I figured out how to put up a header. Ah, it's a lovely one. *sigh* Well, it has no words, but that may come later...maybe.

Thanks to France and Rach I'm learning a lot about HTML and such as well. I wish the comments section gave us the cheats like the other sections do. Yep, I'm lazy

I'm watching season one of Torchwood again, since I admit I was looking for Ianto (It was almost like Where's Waldo at the beginning. "Oh! There he is!") and I wasn't giving the rest of the show as much attention as I should have. I've seen ep one and two and part of three. Cyberwoman will be after that.

Life is good.
