Boy it's hot



While the Secret Lab is still cool as ever, the adjoining house is currently a hothouse with the air conditioner condenser fan having seized up... I gave it several attempts at a lube job after it started squealing yesterday, but to no avail. The cheap bushings are dried out and once the thing heats up, a thermal fuse opens somewhere and it stops turning. Good news is, I've got a replacement motor and the will to install it (esp. since my home warranty will probably not get around to the repair for days and I need air conditioning NOW!!!)

Aside from that, entertainment-wise, I've got my Zappa tickets for Wednesday (missed it last year, not going to miss it again!), the Doctor Who episode from this past weekend was fan-freakin-tastic (we're talking one of the best eps. of the last 4 years), and so was the new Venture Bros.!

C.O.G. Rehearsal's tonight, and I'm also looking forward to telling everybody about an upcoming show we're scheduling for mid-July. Guest band will be Clockwork Elvis. Should be a sick night of fun for anybody who braves the heat!

If you mean "The Doctor's Daughter," I caught that the other night, too- and that episode does indeed kick ass.

No, I meant 'Silence in the Library' / 'The Forest of the Dead' - an amazing two parter by Stephen Moffat that just aired these last two weekends in Britain.

As for 'The Doctor's Daugher'... as much as I liked Georgia Moffett's performance with what she was given to work with, I admit I had a somewhat different opinion of the episode! See my discussion of that with a fellow fan a few weeks ago.

By the way, have you heard about Tom Smith's accident?

Yeah, he twisted his leg jumping up onstage, right? (and he wasn't even wearing platform sneakers!)

Good luck with the condenser fan, ACs are aggravating, but then again boilers aren't much better.

Nah, got it yesterday evening! It wasn't so bad (and next time something like this happens, I'll be equipped.)
