Happy day! It's cretkid's birthday. Also, the farmer's market in Nathan Philips Square is back for the summer.

Did an hour of housework (well, it mostly consisted of tidying the living room and sweeping a bazillion dead flower petals off the floor, but that totally counts) this morning. I think I could get used to that -- start your morning off productively, return to a clean house. Yep.

Also closed all the windows and blinds and curtains I could. We'll see if that keeps the place any cooler than yesterday because dear GOD it was hot when I got home.

Watched my tape of last week's Dr. Who and suffered a moment of absolute panic when I got to the end and it wasn't this week's Dr. Who, despite the fact that I had SEEN it taping when I got in. Luckily it turned out to be on the tape, just an hour later. Great two-parter; I liked Nancy a lot.

And now to work. Book club tonight.

Here's a question that's been baffling me...what is it with people from Toronto and Doctor Who? I'm not kidding...EVERY single person I know from Toronto is a Doctor Who fan, as opposed to the two or three people in Montreal I know that like it (one of whom is originally from the tee-dot). I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I assume it was a staple on TV Ontario for years and everyone grew up with it?

Actually, it seems like people in Toronto (and Ontario in general) seem to enjoy Sci Fi TV a lot more than in any other province I've been to.

Not just people who grew up in Toronto - also people who spent part of their childhood in Alberta (me) and watched Dr. Who on PBS every weekday evening.

It's strange. I grew up in Manitoba, and Doctor Who was on PBS all the time. It just didn't seem like anyone I knew even watched it (and I certainly hung out with people who were heavy into comics and Star Trek).

Well, none of my school friends in Alberta watched Dr. Who. I had a taste for British shows, esp. BBC-produced series, which was at odds with my surroundings at the time.

What stilldeepwater said. I was first exposed to Dr. Who in Holland, watching on the BBC.

So it could be a total coincidence. ;)
