New Doctor Who

After several months, following a great final episode and send off for David Tenant, tonight's Doctor Who did not disappoint. It retained the light-hearted goofiness of the previous series. It's different seeing a young Doctor, but the new writer and cast look very promising. Matt Smith brings a Tenant-like feel to the Doctor. Hopefully we will see a continuation of the light-hearted comedy brought by Tenant. Karen Gillian as the Doctor's companion we haven't seen since Rose. It seems like Series 5 is returning to the fun days of Series 2 before the episodes took a more darker and serious turn. Three cheers for the new series, and the two week delay in the States from the UK's debut at the beginning of April.

Eurovision 2009 Winner

Norway's Alexander Rybak won the contest several months back. My Norwegian friend told me this is variation on a traditional Norwegian folk tune. It's catchy ... has a folksy Russian feel to it as well.
