YAY!

[mrv3000]

Okay, I've done it. I've ordered the Doctor Who Journal of Impossible Things. I know I need to be more careful with my money this year, but...MUST HAVE.

It's a copy of the journal they made for the S3 "Human Nature" episode where the Doctor's human persona - John Smith - creates a journal of fuzzy dreams he's having about the Doctor's life. There's stuff in there about all his incarnations ("I have inhabited the clothes of scholars and jesters and... I may have played cricket for England!"), about the TARDIS ("I feel safe there." "my magic box"), the sonic screwdriver, K-9 ("I know that I owned a dog, but I kept giving them or losing them. So I decided to protect it by making a kennel on wheels that covered it."), Martha ("And she's a Doctor. She wants to heal me. Why is being a Dr so important? To her and to me. I wish she could turn around so I can see who she really is."), and Rose ("I keep dreaming of a girl..."). And lots more - 78 pages!! - complete with doodles.

I really wish I knew who actually wrote the journal. It's fairly awesome.

ETA: Oh ha!! It comes with a sonic screwdriver pen! :D Hmmm. I'm sensing a prop for Stuffed Animal Theater.

STUFFED ANIMAL THEATER!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAY!

(oh, and I want that book too)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to figure out how the donkey is actually going to hold the screwdriver... :D

[papilio-luna.livejournal.com]

Yeah I am seriously flailing over my need for this. It's really more of a physical necessity of life at this point, like oxygen. Just...no money. Like literally none. Sigh.

Soon my precious. Soon I shall have you.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. NEED. I figure I've been really good as far as my budget goes this month, and so it shall be mine!

The screwdriver pen is pretty cool too. It has replaceable batteries too, unlike the other sonic screwdriver I own.

OH GOD I CAN ACTUALLY TYPE SENTENCES LIKE THAT.

But yeah, I'm always supposed to be careful with money and somehow I just buy things. Often.

Oooooh.

BWAH! I think you're going to have to accept your nerdom.

But yeah, I'm always supposed to be careful with money and somehow I just buy things. Often.

I'm usually pretty good about things, but I'll admit I do own all the Rose novels. :D

[shinyopals.livejournal.com]

XD I think I've pretty much accepted my nerd-dom.

THIS REMINDS ME: I haven't piled up all my Doctor Who merch for a few months. I THINK IT MIGHT BE TALLER THAN ME NOW.

DID I MENTION I AM ON A BUDGET?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

HA!! All I've got are books and DVDS, and they're not taller than me. Well, maybe if I stand them on their ends.

[shinyopals.livejournal.com]

This was taken last May. Since then I've got six new regular books, more comics, CDs, the s4 box set, and things like The Time Traveller's Almanac and The Writer's Tale. I'm pretty sure at this point my pile is taller than me.

The wonderful thing is, of course, that I'm quitting this show after the specials! XD

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*SNORTS*

But what if they come out with new Nine or Ten era stuff after the specials?

[shinyopals.livejournal.com]

PHOOEY, says I.

I don't know. I'll probably end up buying if they do, but I'd be a bit more hesitant because I'm assuming any serious merchandise (spin off books and audios) would have to be approved by Opal's-favourite-showrunner. Which might concern me.

But I'd probably buy it. XD

[ginamak.livejournal.com]

STUFFED ANIMAL THEATER!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEE!!!!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Now with PROPS! :D

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

OMG, that is so awesome! I had no idea you could BUY IT! FTW!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You can!! And there's a lot more stuff in it than we saw onscreen! Including more Rose stuff!

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

I have to get it now, have to. Otherwise I will just sit and stew here; being jealous that you have it! LOL :D

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Well we wouldn't want that! :D

[the-lucky-stars.livejournal.com]

I've seen some pictures and it looks AWESOME! Loads of the quotes are totally cute... jealous now, haha :D

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It does look amazing! Yeah, I love all the Rose stuff, but all the other stuff is completely adorable.

[bastetseye.livejournal.com]

They really do appear to have gone all out with this peace of merchandise alot of effort seems to have gone into it!

Not like the Cassandra Frame, I can't believe that they actually though that was worth it's price, If I want a Cassandra replica I want the Bitchy Trampaline, not her frame!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

They didn't even include the trampoline part?

[bastetseye.livejournal.com]

Nope, it was just the frame! Luckily I just saw it in the shop, and didn't buy it, but I checked everywhere on the box thinking no one could possble sell something that pathetic just to make money on the back of a tv programme, but apparently so!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

That's pretty weak.

[bastetseye.livejournal.com]

Yep, but then so am I. When the shop brand that it was in was closing due to the credit crunch and they were selling everything at huge reductions, I did look to see if it was still there! Luckily it wasn't that's one purchase I would have felt guilty about buying even if it was a pound!

[outforawalk.livejournal.com]

I am so jealous! I wonder how much longer I can hold out.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Heh heh!

[elirrina.livejournal.com]

I want a sonic screwdriver pen! Well, I want the book too... I'll have to settle for pretending that my clicky highlighter is a sonic screwdriver for now, I guess.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It helps to make noises with your mouth. ;)

[elirrina.livejournal.com]

:D oh, definitely!

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

I ordered this and I can't wait to get it. I have no idea when I'm going to find time to read it but I still can't wait to get it!

I think all the stuff about Rose is magnificent.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I have the feeling I'll be paging through it the second I get it. :D

I think all the stuff about Rose is magnificent.

Totally! I thought what we saw onscreen would be it, but nope! MORE.

[gowdie.livejournal.com]

OH! Thank ye, thank ye! I had seen this announced ways back - and all the links to buy in the UK. But I didn't realize it was available to order here! Which makes life so much simpler, and cheaper!

I've been repeatedly telling a friend that she had to wait for her Christmas prezzie, while I fretted. And now she will finally have.

Will have to order one for myself as well. Obviously.

*nods* I've done the UK route, and I'm pretty sure the shipping cost more than what I was getting.

Sometimes, living in Oz really gets my goat. This doesn't even come up on a local search - I hope we don't have to wait too long for it to turn up here.
Meantime, I hope you enjoy yours when it arrives (is a tiny bit jealous).

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awww. Hopefully it won't be long.

[pixiesio.livejournal.com]

*tries desperately to resist buying this*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Look at that willpower! :D

[pixiesio.livejournal.com]

It's damn tough! I even looked around other Who item selling sites, and none of them had that listed. So it's a rather unique item. *twitches*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of amused. When I ordered mine yesterday, there were 40 available for immediate delivery. Now they're down to 27. :D

Whona is fantastic at getting stuff over here though. Not sure how they do it.

[pixiesio.livejournal.com]

*looks @ number left*

*goes to website and buys one*

*proceeds to shake fist @ you in an unconvincingly aggravated manner* ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

BWAH!!

[kammgirl.livejournal.com]

I am so ordering this. It will go with my Betrothal of Sontar and the D/R stuff I bought at the DW exhibit in England. Hey have you finished all the Nine/Rose and Ten/Rose novels? I read three and have many more and want to start again. I would love to discuss them if you are interested. There is a DW novels comm, but it isn't active.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I have read all the Rose novels! It'd be fun if you'd post about them. :)

[rattus-aerius.livejournal.com]

I'm going to have to quit reading about this because I have no money. :(

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwwwww.

[belanna-paris.livejournal.com]

Is there alot of Rose/Doctor stuff in here? I was thinking of getting it from Argos when I am in town at the weekend.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

There's obviously the 2 pages we saw in the episode. But there's also more stuff scattered around. Like he goes on about the strong graceful woman who has golden eyes. And also there's a drawing of Rose in the TV from Idiot's Lantern. A mention of The Unquiet Dead "a single footprint in the snow..." And more drawings of roses - as in the flower.

[belanna-paris.livejournal.com]

Cool, I think I'll get it then.
