fajrdrakoYesterday was a red letter day, when it comes to mail. I had, over the past six months or so, ordered a number of things from amazon.ca, and most of it was delayed in arriving in Canada, so the shipping dates kept being pushed back. And then it all came at once, in the past two days. Not to mention stuff from friends. So now I have:
- The series 2 Doctor Who DVD
- Torchwood Border Princes by Dan Abnett
- Torchwood Slow Decay by Andrew Lane
- The Doctor Who Annual 2007, which thrilled me by having both David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston on the cover - I had no idea, the pictures I'd seen just showed Tennant.
- The SFX Magazine with the Torchwood 'badges' from

silverwhistle. I took this up to maaseru's place and she and I and maaboroshi perused this and the Forbidden Planet catalogue for about an hour. I kept coming to a dead halt when I came to a certain beautiful figure of Faramir in the middle of the Forbidden Planet catalogue, but we were also all charmed by a lovely replica of Mal Reynold's gun, carefully detailed and hand-polished. "By Nathan Filion himself!" we chortled. And a TARDIS pencil-case. maaboroshi made me promise to bring back the SFX Magazine later because there are so many good movie and TV reviews in it. Not to mention a scrummy picture of Jamie Bamber. Thank you again, silverwhistle, this is a wonderful gift.

Date: 2007-02-07 05:05 pm (UTC)Yes. I was happily reading the catalogue and then came to a dead halt when I saw him. I don't think I've read the rest of it even yet.
At least I got somebody else hooked on JB videos on youtube.
It's a constant temptation, I tell you. I know they're there and they call to me.
Talking about guilty pleasures...
I have only too many of those.

I also have the Iseult Barbie (blonde) and a Juliet (brunette, dressed in the Guenevere costume) as the 2 Queens.

Date: 2007-02-08 04:27 pm (UTC)This is the Juliet doll (http://www.mesbarbies.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=100) (I got her on her own, not with Romeo). Lucrezia Borgia (the pale blonde Romance Novel Barbie - strikingly like poor Lucy!) tends to borrow her original outfit, and the Italian Renaissance princess one (which is dark blue). As Isabella, she wears this pale blue, gold and white outfit (http://www.dazzlingdolls.com/barbie/dazzling.html?197).

no subject
Date: 2007-02-07 07:07 pm (UTC)That's downright strange! Maybe they think a child might swallow them? Or stick himself with the pin?
So the Doctor doesn't get a badge all to himself?

Date: 2007-02-07 09:24 pm (UTC)the Forbidden Planet catalogue
Heh, what would you say if I told you that I already know where the Forbidden Planet is in Edinburgh? ;D
no subject
Date: 2007-02-07 09:33 pm (UTC)On the strength of being not quite halfway through the first one, I'd say 'yes'. Very much so. Stand by for further revelations about them as I read.
what do you think of the Annual? I was tempted
Yeah. I was tempted and gave into the temptation. And I can't say I'm sorry, if only for a number of pretty pictures of David Tennant. But you have to put up with pictures of Slitheen and Cybermen too. It's very much geared to the 8-year-old market. There's a long comic book story in it that I haven't had a chance to look at yet; the art seems passable; I'll let you know when I've read it.
what would you say if I told you that I already know where the Forbidden Planet is in Edinburgh? ;D
I would say: so do I! And I've been to the ones in London, Dublin, and even New York, IIRC. So why don't they have branches in Canada, hmm?
Just as well for my budget that they don't, of course.

Date: 2007-02-08 04:09 pm (UTC)I love the Edinburgh branch - the first one I got to know. The Glasgow one is good, too, but the shop lay-out is more cramped - difficult to see where everything is.
