Random questions...


1) Dear Americans,

Do they sell those little chocolate Kinder eggs in America?

2) Does anyone remember a cartoon from the late 80s or early 90s, American, about these children who would go to sleep of a night and become super heroes in their dreams? There was a little dinosaur toy that came to life, a boy on a skateboard, a bossy girl... can anyone remember what it was called, because everyone I've asked remembers the cartoon, but not the title.

ETA: The savage [livejournal.com profile] sc1ssors1ster reliably informs me that the cartoon was called Potsworth and Company, after the smarmy dog in it. Yaaz!

3)After my computer was re-programmed following The Great Crash of '05, I've lost my DVD playing program, though of course I still have the actual DVD drive. Does anyone know of a reliable cheap or free driver I could download for Windows Media to play my DVDs, or a DVD playing program?

Also, Doctor Who was fab, as usual. Etc, etc.

I'm telling you - http://www.badwolf.org.uk/index.html is the scariest creepy front page I have ever been to. Dr. Who is seriously excellent, and Capt. Jack deserves to last into the Tennant era.

Ah! [livejournal.com profile] wig_maker just messaged me with that site. It's seriously freaky-- especially if you have your sound right up! I'm really intrigued. She speculated it could be something to do with Mickey. Me, I'm wondering about both Mickey and Captain Jack (agreed on the need for him to be in the Tennant era)!

Yes! Those missing years could come back to bite him in the arse.. or something. But Mickey was looking really jealousy-ridden and like he could've knocked the Doctor on the heed a couple of times ;)

In other news: Today on Points of View the woman on it said a) Billie is definately in the next series. and b) there's a huge cliffhanger (I think that was the word she used, I was straightening hair at the time) at the end of this series with lots of Daleks OMG! Get me a large couch and tell me when they're not scary anymore :( :p OH! And there's a Christmas special!
