I love my mother for many, many reasons, but one of them is that she works in a school and is able to get me copies of Dr Who books whenever the book depot sends them multiples! So yesterday she delivered a hefty load of Sticker Books, Activity Books, Puzzle Books and Pop-Up Books. And then I scanned some of the photos and pics I liked best....

click for groovy photoshoots of Ten and assorted friends. Some of these pics I've never seen before! )

oh, and the new DWM came out today; here are a few very very mildly-spoilerish scans... a lovely cover pic of Matt, something about the Tardis, and a cute photo of David Tennant with the mag's journalist (the rather hot Ben Cook)
Matt Smith Is The Doctor )

AUTHOR: [info]sensiblecat 

WORDS: 954

SPOILERS: The End of Time, Part II

CHARACTERS: Ten, 10.5, Rose, Donna

RATING: This chapter is G - later ones go higher

NOTE: I've been having a lot of trouble with LJ cuts lately. If this one doesn't work, please let me know.

CREDITS: Thanks to [info]unfolded73  for the icon. And Yoko Ono (who probably owns it now) for the title.

He’d always maintained that talking to yourself was a sign of sanity. Now he was the living embodiment of it – there seemed to be another version of him, subtly different, more upbeat, more impulsive, less damaged and despairing – arguing with him inside his own head.

He's still alive...but he's got company.

Imagine, if you will, an alternate universe where the characters of Doctor Who and Torchwood are cats. The Doctor is a cat, Captain Jack is a cat and all of the Children of Time are cats. It would be a feline time-line… and that is exactly what our new website site is about.

More details of the site + video )

Many thanks to the administrators of Live Journal for allowing us to post our site details and the promotional video.

I'm a little upset by how much this community has died over the years. I've been a member for quite some time now, bouncing from journal name to journal name. Everyone use to be so active, sharing their stories, hopes, dream, fears, etc. It really made everyone feel as if they weren't alone in the world.

Well. I can tell you one thing.

Anyone that does still read these blogs, if you EVER need anyone to talk to, I'm almost always around. Even if I'm not, send me a message, and I'll be sure to help you in any way possible. I know how hard it can be to go through this alone. I've been there, and I can tell you that with time, it does get better. The urge never quite leaves you fully, but you learn to live with it, or find another outlet.

I SI'd for over 6 years of my life. I tried many different medications, therapy's, outlets, counselors, etc. I've been clean for over a year. It's hard. Some days are harder than others. You just have to remember, that anything is possible, and there are people out there that care, even if you don't realize it.


Only you can decide what is right for you, but I can help by sharing my experiences if anyone would like.

Be safe. <3

Series five stuffs [Jan. 7th, 2010|06:41 am]

DWM has confirmed the writers for series five. Moffat's doing six, Chibnall's doing two, with one each from old friends Mark Gatiss, Gareth Roberts and the marvellous Toby Whithouse (as well as four episodes for the new series of Being Human!). Richard Curtis has done one, as we know, and as was rumoured in the Mail on Sunday, we're getting one from Simon Nye (best known for Men Behaving Badly, best forgotten for Hardware).

The indefatigable Scooty has pictures of Matt and Karen filming, and here's a bonus video:

Okay everyone, just a quick question to somewhat ease my insanity...

Does anyone know when the End of Time episodes are airing in Australia? I know I can watch them online (because I did that for the other 3 specials last year) but I promised a friend I wouldn't do that this time and would watch it with her on television... but it's driving me mad, this waiting! The suspense! I'm trying really hard to stay away from spoilers and such... 

But anyway, if anyone knows the date they'll be airing over here, I'd be much obliged!

This is driving me nuts. I've been through the Sonic Biro site, the David Tennant site, my own DVD collection - but I can't find the image that's in my head.

He's standing, back to the camera, or perhaps walking away from the camera. His coat's on, it's not a steeply angled shot but a fairly straight-on shot from behind.

Anyone know where I could find a pic like this? It needs to be hi-rse, too - I've got plans for it.

Thanks!

I was watching Jeopardy (an American quiz show) on Tuesday evening with my dad, and I was highly amused to see this clue:

"Matt Smith is the latest actor to be this sci-fi "Dr.", previously played by Peter Davison & Tom Baker."

I got unnecessarily excited and my dad looked at me like I was crazy, heh.

Over the past year I've delved heavily into Classic Who episodes, and having finally completed that journey recently, I find myself yearning for a bit more. Now I've heard a lot about the Big Finish Audios and assorted other things, and I wondered if any of you had any suggestions as to where would be a good place to start with the Big Finish Audios. Or, is there another form I should also look at it?

I figured here would be the best place to ask, I don't know that many who fans in real life and even fewer that are quite as obsessive as I do believe I have become. =)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/ideas/help/thoughts/opinions.

[sorryimsorry]
Brandon,

I'm stuck on this. You need to LET ME GO or LOVE ME FOR REAL. Seriously, I'm sick of the "no strings attached deal". You're the only person I've clicked with on something more than football. You makes me laugh. We can talk about anything and seem to finish each other's sentences. We make each other feel important, and we make each other happy. 
Why would you turn away from something like this? Why would you go so far, trip me up, and then say, "I don't want to get involved in anything deep right now..." 
Why, Brandon? Do you like having a girl hanging on your every word, without having to call her girlfriend?
It's breaking my heart, because you KNOW what you're going to me, and you KNOW I love you. 
I just want the truth. Are you ever going to let this go somewhere, or do I need to walk away?
TELL ME.

Love,

Me

VID: Farewell to Ten, the Doctor Who Remix (Blame It on the Pop) [Jan. 6th, 2010|10:04 pm]

doctorwho

[pinkfinity]
[Tags|, ]

So, what have I been doing since I watched the final David Tennant episode of Doctor Who?

Vidding. And weeping a bit while rewatching.

TITLE: Farewell to Ten, the Doctor Who Remix

MUSIC: Blame it on the Pop, the 2009 Remix by DJ Earworm - all songs included in the remix are listed below

RATING: PG

Characters: If they appeared in a Tennant episode, there's a chance they'll be in here. I think I used clips from about 90% of David's episodes.

Spoilers: All of New Who through "The End of Time Pt. II"

GENRE: Mash-up.

NOTES: In December of 2009, DJ Earworm released a remix of the top 25 songs in the US from 2009. I heard it the day before the last episode of Doctor Who starring David Tennant was set to air, and I knew from the first notes that I needed to do a vid about the Tenth Doctor set to this amazing mix of songs. It's my homage to Ten, his companions, his rivals and enemies.

So many thanks to [info]longtimegone for sitting with me through the editing process - you are invaluable!

( + Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey mash-up remixy stuff via the fake cut )

I could see them planning this all out at home in my head [Jan. 7th, 2010|08:15 pm]

customers_suck

[bunnyhood]
Dear Two Ladies coming through my line,

first off the place I work at, the current store your standing in, is a CORPORATE grocery store. Mostly located in the south.

We are NOT a antique shop or a thrift store.

You came in here at 9:58. TWO MINUTES BEFORE WE CLOSED. You went to the bakery to PULL OUT A BIG BOX OF DONUTS out from the BOTTOM OF OUR 'SCANNED OUT' CART which had a huge random assembly of all our bakery goods that sell by date is TOMORROW.

asking for a discount on them is the dumbest thing you could ever do. Oh the box is mashed and the donuts are smooshed a little bit? so you want a discount? maybe its because you pulled it from the bottom of a freaking cart full of bakery goods that go to donations for the needy :|

Oh they were on sale too? a dollar less for a box of donuts is not the end of the world. If you really wanted them you should of came in here at 7 am to grab it before anyone else could. why in the world do you think coming in two minutes before we close would be a good idea?


I almost understand if you were trying for the hell of it, But it seemed like your number one goal to come in here and get the donuts discounted. It was amazingly amusing that you two left here empty handed and made a disgusted "I cant believe this" mumbling over some donuts.

DONUTS!

Love, your Publix cashier that is appalled by your dumb

PS....DONUTS...friggin DONUTS!

Repeatedly Witnessed Sucks [Jan. 6th, 2010|09:06 pm]

[ctk_hullo]
Seriously, customers, do you really need to keep hauling carts to the bus stops and leaving them there? 'Cause, y'know, you're:
1) clogging up the bus shelters and obstructing sidewalks,
2) making extra, needless work for the bus boys, and
3) going to have to carry your bags on the bus anyway!
And it's not like these people have huge loads or anything. Just two to five bags. In the widest f'ing cart there is. The bus stops aren't that far away from the stores, either - always on a side of the parking lot adjacent to the store. Use your arms (for other than pushing), and set the bags on the ground while you're waiting. It won't nibble at your groceries, I swear.

Fanmix - Songs for Ten [Jan. 7th, 2010|12:10 am]

Does what it says on the packet. A fanmix that goes right through the Tenth Doctor's story.

All links go to youtube, number 5 is a bit awful sound quality - but I had to get the Barrowman version, didn't I! And 3 & 5 both go to fanvids I did using those songs. Hehe.

bf closes eyes during sex/oral sex [Jan. 5th, 2010|11:59 pm]

sextips

[memoirsofsunny]
 One thing I've noticed about my boyfriend is that he closes his eyes towards the end of sex, or oral sex.
I haven't really noticed if it's the whole time [generally I don't really tend to stare at his face during either act] but I do the occasional glance upwards, and he seems to almost always have his eyes closed towards the end [before he climaxes].

I assume it's because he's concentrating, etc. but we have all heard that men are very visual creatures--wouldn't he want to keep his eyes open 100% of the time? Do you think he's thinking about someone else? I mean we all think about someone else from one time to another, BUT not all the time. Does your partner do this?

Thanks for the answers:)
