Apr. 12th, 2008 11:16 pmAUGH I have a stomachache and I think eating a bagel that had sat in the fridge for a month for breakfast was a REALLY BAD IDEA but I still have Who thoughts. AND OMG YOU GUYS I ALSO HAVE THIS. A SONIC SCREWDRIVER FLASHLIGHT TORCH. I can totally justify the purchase, too, because I do need a small flashlight I can easily carry around for when I get home at night and there are no lights on. Sadly, it does not make noises, but it looks wicked cool and the little blue LED light is bright enough to be useful.
There is, however, no excuse for the excellent black coffee mug with the silver TARDIS on. I needed another coffee mug like I need a hole in the head. However, I feel that the five-dollar pair of jeans I found makes up for it.
Incidentally, if you want a sonic screwdriver torch and you are near a Newbury Comics, go there to get it because it's a buck and a half cheaper and you'll (obviously) save on shipping. And don't shine it into your eyes. I can barely see the keyboard. I am so unaccustomed to having my geek needs catered to that I was prowling the store looking for the flashlight to be hidden in amongst random other toys, because Newbury Comics does lots of random toys. So I'm inching my way down the only aisle I hadn't checked yet, scrutinizing the wall and noting that all the toys are conveniently grouped by fandom because Newbury understands these things, and I get to the end, turn my head, and find that half the wall there is covered in Doctor Who merchandise. The packaging all involved a lot of orange, too, so it's not like it was subtle. If I hadn't been looking so carefully I would have found it a lot faster, and how often can you say that?
Anyway. I said Who thoughts, right?

Oh, and by the way, the comments now contain spoilers for the Torchwood finale and implied casting spoilers for series four.
