Amazon is offering a free download of the new Steve Winwood song Dirty City, with Eric Clapton on guitar. I like it .

I watched The Sontaran Stratagem episode of Doctor Who last night, the first of a two-parter. Good to see Donna’s grandfather again. I think the Doctor should take on a geriatric companion one of these days. The guy’s a hoot and there would be all manner of opportunity for new kinds of gags and themes with an elderly man in the TARDIS. The episode itself is classic.

I thought someone was supposed to die on NCIS last night. Or am I misremembering the trailer from last week?

I’m about halfway through the first Dexter novel and loving it. There are subtle differences to the TV series, but the plot is staying reasonably close to what was televised. Dexter’s relationship with Rita is a little different—he is actually more connected to the kids than to her. So far no mention of his sister’s relationship with the prosthetics guy or the subplot concerning his real father, but there’s still time for those, I guess. His current escapade, though, the impromptu killing of the janitor, seems unique to the book.

Another chapter edited this morning. I think tomorrow is when I hit the chapter that needs all the work. Fun, fun, fun.
