GTO 1st Semester

If the 10th Doctor went and had sex with an earlier regeneration, would it be incest or a very bizarre and over the top form of masturbation?

Wow. That was AWESOME.

Series 3 of Doctor Who? Best since it came back. Seriously. Maybe best ever.

.......

AWESOME.

Somehow better than last weeks.

Next Saturday cant come quick enough!

Case in point - my passport. After frantic searching all day - i found it behind the K9 cookie jar thing in the front room.

Why it was there i have no idea.

Oh and i know i dont need my passport if im going on holiday in the country - but i need some form of ID that has my date of birth on. There is no way on earth id get into any bars/clubs without - i dont look 16, let alone 21.

That. That was AMAZING.

Doctor Who this series has been brilliant, and this was just as good as Human Nature/Family of Blood and Gridlock (my current faves)

Plus - what an awesome line to end on - "End of the Universe, have fun, Bye Bye!"

Ive just read the BBC press release for the finale for series 3 of Doctor Who.

Heh. It sounds like it will be AWESOME.

Cracking episode of Doctor Who, even though The Doctor wasnt in it much.

Plus there was a real zinger at the people who moaned about the TARDIS's windows being the wrong size, hehehe.

The episode of Doctor Who Confidental that followed on BBC3 was a good 'un too, David Tennant hosted it, and it was a nice look back at Doctor Who and the writers fave moments and that.

----

New userpic, from the 2nd opening to Gundam SEED Destiny, its Lacus Clyne and Kira Yamato. I just liked the poses.

----

I managed to tell my mum today. After all my worrying, she admit she had an inkling all along. I kept it secret all these years because i was worried how they would act, and they were fine. My mum at least.

Now to tell my dad. Might wait till next week i think.....

Tonights Doctor Who was like a rush. Whooosh! Very fast paced and action packed. Great writing from Chris Chibnail (i liked his work on Torchwood, but this was much better), great directing from Graham Harper (seriously, you wouldnt know hes the oldest director on the current series when you watch him at work during Confidential) and of course great performances from the leads.


Next weeks looks good too, and a bit confusing (Mr John Smith, school teacher?)

----

Oh and in other news, i had an eye test today. Apparently my left is very, very slightly worse than last time (2 years ago) but its not enough for me to need new lenses yet. My dad also got an eye test - his eyes are getting better! So he needs new lenses, weaker ones.

Still havent got round to reading The Handmaid's Tale yet, but i will do this week, probably once i get my Ai Yori Aoshi backlog down (vol 11-13), then i can order the next few volumes! Only got a few to go now.....

Also, i preordered Mario Strikers Charged Football for the Wii. Looking forward to it, first Mario sports game on the wii, first "proper" football game on the Wii (in a way) and the first online multiplayer game on the Wii!
Plus i got £5 off thanks to a promotion Nintendo are having with Coca-Cola. First time you enter the promotion (to win a "Wii games room") you get a £5 voucher to use on anything over £30 on GAME's website. MSCF was £34.99, so it was the obvious choice to use it on.

"Gridlock" was an awesome episode. Best Doctor Who yet - yes its beaten my previous fave (Army of Ghosts/Doomsday) despite it not having Daleks in!


It was also the most emotional since the Doomsday, and the look of deninal on the Doctors face at the end was brilliant. David Tennant was AWESOME in it.

Cant wait for next week tho. Daleks in New York :D

----

Okay play.com, why havent Mondays dvd releases shipped yet? Come on, they should of shipped by now.

At least my cheap as chips Full Metal Panic dvds (£7.99 each) have started to ship. I can finally see the entire series! (yes i saw FUMOFFU before the orginal, and ive nearly finished TSR as well)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/index.shtml

Short, but sweet.

but its name lives on. Gallifrey.

New york to exact! Somehow they managed to get a film crew over to the US without any of the eagle eyed Who fans noticing.

Episodes 4 and 5 of the next series will be the ones filmed in New York

Well, thats the ones ive narrowed it down to, going by the hints RTD dropped in his column for Doctor Who Magazine.

First off, Torchwood, the new adult spin off from Doctor Who that started last night. Its great. Its set in the same universe as Who, but it is its own beast. Its a lot more violent and has more swearing than Who. Oh and it seems you have to be bisexual to be a member of Torchwood Cardiff!

Theres a fair few Doctor who refences, like the fact that Captain Jack has The Doctor's servered hand (from The Christmas Invasion) in a jar on his desk. Oh and Jack is a different man, hes angry at what has happened to him since the events of Series One of Who. I wont say why, but im looking forward to his reappearance in Series 3 of Doctor Who......

Now on a different tact - TPBs. And by that i mainly mean DC and Marvel

Is it just me, or do DC use a cheaper card stock for there covers than Marvel? I have 3 DC TPBs and 2 Marvel. One of the DC ones was from an online store, and yet it still had a slightly bent cover, while the other 2 where from the nearby bookstore. One was fine when i got it, but after reading it now wont shot properly (cover is slightly bent i guess you could say) and the other i got today is suffering from it before reading.

Yet both the Marvel ones (The Ultimates vol 1 and 2) are fine, even after i read vol 1 today.

Odd, eh?

Oh yeah, The Ultimates was great. Ill probably end up reading vol 2 on the way home! Although i might wait for vol 2 of The Ultimates 2 before picking that up.

Saturday

Doctor Who:The Sontaran Experiment

First of the "value releases" with less extras for a cheaper price.



The Ultimates vol 1. I said id start getting this after watching Ultimate Avengers. Sadly im going to have to take this back - theres a big fold mark through two pages later. Bloody annoying, i hope Waterstones will let me exchange it.

edit - they let me exchange it, got a pristine copy now :)

Alright its more of a partwork/Trading Card Game.

The comic looks prett y good, tho The Doctor looks odd in it (check the magazine section

Yesterday when i went to Uxbridge (nice place, plus the tube station is right in the town centre, very handy!) i got:


In GAME i got Call of Duty 2 Game of the Year Edition (Xbox 360) and Fable The Lost Chapters (Xbox - on the BC list so i can play it on my 360).

Tbh i have never thoguht of getting Fable, but for the price i thought its worth taking a chance.


Mobile Suit Gundam Lost War Chronicles vol 2 (from a branch of Books,etc)


A 'classic' Doctor Who model (The 4th Dcotor and K9)

Meanwhile in the post (from amazon.co.jp)
