I couldn't decide which to say - sofa or couch in my original post about Doctor Who. It's interesting that there are so many words for the same piece of furniture. I think your choice depends on where you grew up and when. I am more inclined towards 'couch' but since 'sofa' is more commonly used here, I use it. What word do you use?
I have a couple of things to share tonight. Emma showed me a funny comedy routine about emergency vehicle sirens. Part of it is in French and really good.
The other matter of interest is an article in the Guardian about the origins of depression. The article is called 'How We Learned to Stop Having Fun'. Well worth the read. And worth a discussion when you've read it.
Doctor Who was great. Frightening, funny, cute guy, ugly monsters. Who could ask for anything more! You should be able to get in on BBC America at some point in the future. The last two seasons should be on DVD and if you really get into Doctor Who you could watch Torchwood, the adult spin-off from Doctor Who and certainly not suitable for children. Notice that Torchwood is an anagram for Doctor Who.
