rynneToday was Younger Sister's last day with me--just dropped her off at the airport. We went to Seattle, and it was quite fun. Walked around the Waterfront and Pike's Place Market, then rode the Monorail to Seattle Center, where we went to the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum.
I did like both of those, but the Science Fiction Museum disappointed me. There was ONE reference to Doctor Who, on a timeline--a small picture of Four surrounded by Daleks in the '70s section. That was IT for Doctor Who. There was plenty of Star Trek and Star Wars and Ursula Le Guin and other books and movies, and there was even some anime so it wasn't confined completely to American stuff (just mostly), but I was disappointed. DW is quintessential sci-fi, and shows exactly how the genre has evolved over the past forty-five years. Surely that's important enough for a better display in the museum?
*sigh* Apparently not. Bloody American ethnocentrism.
We had dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. And I took dessert home, so now I have cheesecake. Complete win. :D
But also, I was supposed to get three discs of Bones today from Netflix. Except when I checked my mailbox after I got home, there was no Bones! I was very sad. Now I'm going to have to eat my cheesecake and mourn not getting more Bones until tomorrow. :(

My sister, whom I love dearly (I think that's the correct usage of 'whom') has never watched more than 'Rose' of DW and she INSISTS that it's not "really" sci-fi. I've tried to explain, I've told her she has to watch it, but she still insists it's not really sci-fi. I want to yell at her, but that would be childish, yes?
