lolarious article about cat strollers. "'I originally bought them a leash and trained them at home with it but they kept lying down.'" "Asked if she was planning to have a child, Ms Marino said: "'As you can see, we need one.'"

You can tell the good Captain is offworld: Jack has been knocked off the top spot for babies' names.

Stop watching Doctor Who, you idiot! Now this is a very interesting blog post (some thoughtful comments, too). I read a lot of honest, intelligent criticisms online, but it's hard to understand why people keep watchin' and kvetchin' if they're getting nothing but disappointment. Or are they still enjoying some aspects but not talking about them? Or is it the social glue of shared disapproval? It's a puzzle.

Croakers is an essay from the Nation about Michael Jackson and William S. Burroughs.

And finally:



I have a short story in the latest Torchwood magazine! Bwee!

A list of SF cliches includes "Psychedelic drugs give somebody magical power over space, time and reality," but off the top of my head I can only think of a couple of examples (The Stars My Destination and arguably Vurt). Anybody got any others?

You must at once seek out and watch the Lost in Space episode The Promised Planet (3.19 - disc 5 of the box set). I rented it because I remember being puzzled and a little frightened by it as a small child - something to do with scary teenagers who wore pyjamas all the time and had teaching machines and no parents. It turns out to be the most gloriously drug-addled thing I think I have ever seen: a serious Star Trek sort of story about children who can't grow up which has somehow been pureed in a psychedelic blender.

Another gem from the Internet Archive: 1967's Narcotics: Pit of Despair. Opens with a handy demonstration of how to prepare a hit of heroin; promptly confuses amphetamines with barbiturates; and refers, bewilderingly, to "the pot needle". There's a scene of interminable dancing to rival the second Matrix film or The Web Planet. Lost fans may recognise the protagonist.

ETA: Or is it "pop needle"? "Pop" is used later in the film to mean a heroin injection.

ETA ETA: The nefarious drug dealers haven't got any Valium?

I stumbled across a discussion about playing chess under the influence of various substances. "it's fun as hell stoned (takes for fucking ever to make a move though)".

In summary, the most important factors have been lack of peer pressure, concern about interactions with medications, and mental elf.
