To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

New Dr. Who
BBC has announced the name of the new Dr. Who. He is Matt Smith, who will replace David Tennant in 2010. Very young (26) and basically a stage actor he has had very limited exposure in film and TV -- that's going to change. The series is also changing writers and producers and promises a fresh approach to the adventures of the Whovians' favorite Time Lord. That's good news. I didn't like the direction the series was taking in recent years. You can read about it here.
