Good things!

1. The Doctor Who series premiere. Damn you, Moffat, I will have nightmares forever. After traumatizing a generation of children with the Weeping Angels and shadows that eat you, he one-upped himself and threw Richard Nixon in there for good measure.

Seriously, though, that was a hell of an opening.

2. Godspeed You! Black Emperor last night were excellent, and the Sadies (whom I have heard before and didn't like at the time) weren't bad either. The only thing is that Lee's Palace is really not a good venue to hear Godspeed. It was packed, of course, and there's nowhere to sit. I think next time they should play in a concert hall. At least the sound quality was surprisingly clear. I just didn't appreciate getting as, uh, intimate with the people around me as I did.

Okay, now it's halfway through the weekend and I officially need Recluse Time.

Who is Moffat? That's my family name and it's uncommon to hear it.

[sabotabby]

Steven Moffat, the showrunner for Doctor Who. Are you related to Gary, though? He was a Toronto anarchist who died some years ago.

[sugarmommaless.livejournal.com]

Probably not. Or, at least not that I know of. My branch of the family has 2 T's on our name.

that fucking moffat. he knows how to wield a cliffhanger. and also plot threads and foreshadowing and wtf river?

[sabotabby]

I really hope this means River is a regular companion for the whole season. I haven't read any spoilers.

I would have loved to see GYBE - just my luck that when they finally came to Toronto for the first time in a long time, it was a on a weekend that I was out of town for most of... :-(

Doctor Who episode downloading now!

It was the first time I'd ever seen them. I saw A Silver Mt. Zion play when they were still A Silver Mt. Zion, but I was really drunk and fell asleep (which is a pity, because I actually like ASMZ's music more than GYBE's).

I am hoping this bodes well for a) more GYBE albums and b) more GYBE shows, seeing as they sold out four shows in a row over a long weekend in Toronto.
