Serendipity

So I have people coming over tonight (STARGATE!!) and was planning on cleaning and maybe going out and buying some stuff, but then my mum asks if they can come round. So I sweep, and they bring lots of cakes and biscuits, and then mum gets bored and does the dishes/cleans the kitchen(*), and now I am all set :D

So, come! I have cake and biscuits! And clean dishes!

I was worried my 12 year old(**)brother would be bored since he was last time they came over but he was quickly made happy, first by playing with the cat and then with "The Force unleashed" (Wii + lightsabers=awesome). I know what he'll be wanting for christmas :)

Unfortunately now I am full of sugar, so I will probably crash at some point, hopefully soon enough that I can rally for tonight :/

(*) She is totally where I got my socially awkward fidgetiness from
(**) I know! He's 12 already!

Remembering a scene that wasn't there

Have you ever had a really strong memory of scene from a book or movie, but on rewatching/reading, it didn't happen?

I just watched "The City of Death", the Dr Who serial which Douglas Adams helped write and then cheerfully reused the plot of for "Dirk Gently's Detective Agency". I haven't seen the serial since the mid 80s, where it stuck in my memory as one of my favourites, but reading the book in the late 90s was struck by the similarities.

Now as it turns out the plot is somewhat less like Dirk Gently's Holistic Agency than I remember, which isn't that big of a surprise. But there's a scene I remember vividly:
( Cut for spoilers )

Anyway, datedness and general "Dr Who crapness" aside it was pretty good. And Dr/Romana OTP, she's at least the right species. I still found the plot a bit confused, the book is definitely better.
