Question of the Day
What TV shows are you currently watching?
I think just about every tv show I’m currently watching that is being broadcast has to do with food. Top Chef Vegas, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations, and now I’m sucked in to watching Dinner Impossible. So what if he inflated his resume saying that he helped make Princess Diana’s wedding cake. I thought baking Princess Di’s cake was standard on all resumes like saying you work well in a high pressure environment.
I’m catching up on Doctor Who on dvd. I watched season 2 first and loved David Tennant’s Doctor. I was even hesitant to go back to watch the first season since I didn’t think I would like Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor only to find myself liking Eccleston just as much if not more.

Drapetomania
From Wikipedia:
Drapetomania was a supposed mental illness described by American physician Samuel A. Cartwright in 1851 that caused black slaves to flee captivity.
But there was a cure:
Cartwright prescribed “whipping the devil out of them” as a “preventative measure.”
