July is an odd month for me this year in that for the first half I will be ridiculously busy (hence few updates) and then the second half I will most likely be doing absolutely nothing (therefore much updates... maybe). This means I'm unlikely to be doing much work on the website before next week, but I might be able to squeeze in the odd blog-post, like this one.
It would be remiss of me to not say a few words on the second part of the series finale of Doctor Who, which went out on Saturday night here in the UK. Following my excited childlike ranting on part one, you might have gathered I was quite excited. The Cybermen versus Daleks clash seemingly born out of a million playground (or pub) discussions made it a must-see. Having seen the conclusion, what did I think? Well.. it was quite good. Note the 'quite', most uncharacteristically missing the sort of enthusiasm I usually display for the Doc's adventures. It was soldidly entertaining, just not as brilliant as last year's series finale, or indeed other standouts episodes in this current series. But still better than the rise of the Cybermen. It could be just that I was watching it while knackered. Or it could be that Cybermen are just a bit rubbish. They're just humanoid robots with silly voices (that are a bit too similar to the Daleks), and whats' with this "Delete! Delete!" crap? Why do villains need catchphrases these days? It's close to turning into Little Britain! Sorry, rant over, it was as I said entertaining. I'll probably reassess when I watch it again (maybe on a double with part 1)
