I'm a Whovian. I have to admit it.

Nerdy though it is, I think Doctor Who has always been awesome. And Dave Tennant is doing a fantastic fucking job.

EVERY single time I put down call EVENINGS ONLY
EVERY single time I get a phone call at 6:45 AM or so (or earlier) the next day.

Been fixing up my bike, which started PISSING oil out the breather.

Thought the check ball valve in the oil pump was fucked, turns out the scavenge was fucked. I'm a few pounds of a rubber mallet away from getting the nose cone off to ensure dick all happened to the insides of the actual crankcase.

I admire and wish I was Hannibal Lecter.

Not the eating people, the artistic talent, the medical degree, the memory palace, the exquisite taste and the ability to make people swallow their own tongues.

Thomas Harris fucked up in Hannibal, however. In trying to sketch out that Hannibal's tastes are, he didn't consult with the right people, and just namedropped shit that was expensive. Kinda...

The new name...

I changed it a lot, thought I was set with EasyRider... but...

I remembered the Baron Samedi thing (I was trying to remember what I really wanted to use as a nick before)
