"No news at the moment, unless we include a civilian Purple Heart for blood shed during and since having had yet another surgical procedure performed on my right foot (big toe, ankle). I am convincing myself that this is the one, this is it! I need it to be over. The last cut was a week ago Tuesday and initially I was impressed and hopeful. With time, I have had to grow accustomed to the same-old, same-old.....
At noon I'm into the hyperbaric chamber for 90 minutes. Kinda kinky, but what the heck, I'm leaving no stone....
Of course then there is the obligatory physical therapy filled with tears and laughter all around.
The upshot: I am nearly walking like a people.
It's exciting.
Just an update."

It seems my mum had a point about not ruining my feet in frivolous shoes. Not that I think RDA buggered up his feet by wearing high heels. I'd take a bet that he wouldn't exchange having-played-all-that-hockey-then for not-having-crappy-feet-now, though.
Oh, and speaking of such things -

katcorvi , I hope your foot is feeling better now!RDA writes an awful lot like A, which is a little spooky for me. Or maybe most people talk that brand of nonsense to their nearest and dearest, and it's just that RDA isn't embarrassed to talk like that to a wider audience, too.
ETA: Meep! Sky One is planning a reimagining of Blake's Seven, a la Battlestar Galactica! I... am not sure how I feel about that. I'll stick with "hopeful" for the time being.

There are good actors these days! Some even have charisma, which is what I'd saw Paul Darrow and Jacqueline Pearce had in spades. I think John Barrowman's got it, though in a different way; his is more charm and less intensity. While I'm on Torchwood, actually, Burn Gorman is a tremendous actor, though he doesn't really have the looks one might want for a lead for something like B7; he might be a really effective bad guy. (Travis? The first Travis didn't impress me much, and the second was downright laughable at times.) Doctor Who has had some good guest stars, but often they don't get to show off their acting chops as much as one might want; they are, after all, competing with special effects, a big blue box, and David Tennant (who also has quite a bit of charm). I'm trying to think what other British actors I know, but the others I know have been on American tv, playing Americans! (Or Capricans, in the case of Jamie Bamber.) James Callis is quite good, and quite wasted on BSG.
Maybe they'll find some unknown!
Now you've actually got me hoping...wow.
