A pile o' purchases... Torchwood and Doctor Who...

[fajrdrako]

Yesterday 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.

Мm. I can so imagine getting stuck on a beautiful figure of Faramir... whatever I'm doing. Never mind the amount of distraction I'm dealing with today... :D Oh well. At least I got somebody else hooked on JB videos on youtube. Talking about guilty pleasures...

Excellent news! I've just finished watching DW season 2 and it's brilliant fun. I bought a copy of SFX the other day but got the DW badges, not the Torchwood ones. Didn't realise they'd done the other set until I got it home *curses*

Glad to have made you so happy!

Yay for season 2 DW! So the Torchwood books are worth reading? And what do you think of the Annual? I was tempted but with so many other things I want...

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
