Doctor Who, the A-Team, and Murderworld.

On Friday and Saturday, I watched more of my "Doctor Who" DVDs. The episodes I watched were the ones involving the aliens impersonating overweight British politicians in a bid to destroy the Earth. I plan to watch another episode tonight.

Yesterday, I finally got together with Harry and Liz. We went to lunch, then Harry and I went to see The A-Team. I wasn't allowed to watch the TV series growing up, but I loved the movie. There was lots of action and suspense. Afterwards, we rejoined Liz and ran some errands. They dropped me off at my place.

Yesterday, I also played more "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance." I did some exploration of Dr. Strange's home, then moved on to the Murderworld level. I rotated between Iron Man, Dr. Strange, and Spider-Man, spending most of my time as the first two. I completed the first half of the level: saving Senator Kelly, unlocking Blade, fighting Jean Grey a few times, playing "Pitfall", and working my way through a giant pinball machine with exploding pinballs......

Father's Day weekend.

On Saturday, Diana and I went to Cosmo and Wanda's for lunch with them and Gwen. Afterwards, I went with Gwen to a birthday party, then she took me home. I did my laundry and some reading. I also watched part of my "Doctor Who: The Complete First Series" DVD.

Today, I did the usual Sunday stuff. I vacuumed my room and did more reading. I called my dad and wished him a happy Father's Day. Now, I plan to watch more "Doctor Who."

Transformers, spiders, and the Valley of Spirits.

This weekend, I've been catching bits and pieces of the first live-action Transformers movie. I think it's cool how they got some sounds from the original animated series (the transforming sound and Optimus Prime's voice) in the movie. At some point, I plan to get the second movie on DVD (but I'm not in a rush).

On Saturday, I ran some errands and did the usual stuff. Diana and I ate out for lunch on Saturday, then I got some items from Costco. I got a nap in before doing laundry. I read more of No Man's Land.

I seem to be a spider magnet. Last week, I was reading something and looked down to see a large spider on the carpet next to my chair. Today, I was reading and spotted a small spider crawling on my bed less than a foot away.

Today, I finished the Valley of Spirits level on "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance." I defeated the Mandarin by rotating between Iron Man, Thor, and Spider-Man. I unlocked Dr. Strange and added him to my team after completing the level.

No Man's Alliance.

Last week, I spent a lot of time reading a book I borrowed from Harry: Batman: No Man's Land. It seems to be a novelization of a Batman comic book series where Gotham had been declared a "No Man's Land" by the government after a major earthquake reduced the city to anarchy. Batman returns to the city three months after the No Man's Land declaration to find his enemies have been released from Arkham and a few of them (Two-Face and Penguin in particular) have divided the city amongst themselves. Also, a new Batgirl is on the scene and proving herself to be a silent and deadly warrior.....

On Saturday, I played more of "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance." I started the Valley of Spirits level, fighting against Dragon Man, Ultimo, and the Grey Gargoyle with Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and Wolverine.

Today, I read more of No Man's Land and watched another tape I have of "Star Trek: Enterprise" episodes. I also worked on the laundry and watched TV.
