everything but the girl

Does anyone in the UK (ok, in all of Europe) know if the dress Clara wears here (spoilers for title and clothing in an upcoming Doctor Who episode) is available in any shop (even without the collar, which might've been added by the costumers if they bought the dress itself off the rack)?

I really, really want to wear this to Comic Con.

So, what have I been doing since I watched the final David Tennant episode of Doctor Who?

Vidding. And weeping a bit while rewatching.

TITLE: Farewell to Ten, the Doctor Who Remix

MUSIC: Blame it on the Pop, the 2009 Remix by DJ Earworm - all songs included in the remix are listed below

RATING: PG

GENRE: Mash-up.

NOTES: In December of 2009, DJ Earworm released a remix of the top 25 songs in the US from 2009. I heard it the day before the last episode of Doctor Who starring David Tennant was set to air, and I knew from the first notes that I needed to do a vid about the Tenth Doctor set to this amazing mix of songs. It's my homage to Ten, his companions, his rivals and enemies.

So many thanks to longtimegone for sitting with me through the editing process - you are invaluable!

Also - I am not sure which DW coms I should post this to. Suggestions?

longtimegone, I am so sorry, but I couldn't wait because if I did, I wouldn't be able to get to it until later than you'd be able to start and I didn't want to make you wait.

In other words, ( I have watched The End of Time, Part II )

thefridayfive: iTunes Five
1. What song do you play the most? Since I reset my numbers last June, Jason Mraz's I;m Yours is my most-played song, but in the last month the GLEE version of Halo/Walking on Sunshine is tops. Of all time, probably Don't Dream It's Over or Breakout.
2. What song do you play the least? Of all the songs I really like? It's probably something with curse words in it that I can't play in the car.
3. What's the last song you added? Hair/Crazy In Love from Glee
4. What's your favorite playlist? My workout one is pretty fantastic, but I also have one that's all Jason Manns, Kris Allen, the Scissor Sisters and Adam Lambert. It makes a lot of sense, and it's fantastic to listen to. If I add the songs from Glee to it, it will be perfection.
5. What kind of iPod (or MP3 player) do you have? I have a collection of ipods, because even when the screen is cracked I can find some use for it. I have an old-school shuffle for the gym, a nano for traveling, a cracked Classic for the car, my vintage 2003 ipod for the kitchen and my dad's old iphone for apps, and the kids.

fannish5: If you could resurrect/bring back five characters, who would they be? I assume I'm not technically allowed to say TEN at this point? ( Potential spoilers for Doctor Who, SPN and Heroes, so I'll cut it )


Day Four of the 30 Days meme asks for your favorite book. Definitely The Eight, although I recently reread Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk, and remembered how much I loved it in high school and college. I think it influenced me more than I care to admit much of the time.

Day Five asks for your favorite quote. I don't really have one, but from the Ask Caroline column in the Washington Post years ago, I used to have "Some people fear death; I fear literalists..." as my sig file. So it's either that or Eloise talking about pouring a pitcher of water down the mail chute, or the eternal words of wisdom:

"When going to hide, know how to get there, and how to get back. And eat first."

That's from Into the Woods and I <3 James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim eversoerymuch.

( The days are... )

So the SPN panel is on Sunday at 11:45 and I went squee because my Harry Potter panel isn't until that afternoon so I wouldn't have a conflict this year.

But then today, it was announced that Doctor Who and Torchwood "are slated to make a huge crash at San Diego's Comic Con International."

Both panels are Sunday. (Doctor Who at 11AM Torchwood at 2:15PM)

Torchwood's panel is slated to include Russell T. Davies, Julie Gardner, Eros Lyn, and John Barrowman. Doctor Who's panel is said to include all of the above except John and instead they have David Tennant.


David. Tennant.

Oh, that is lovely. Gah, how in hell am I going to choose between Tennant and Supernatural?!?!?!?!?

What I will make it to, for sure, is on Saturday night, from 7:30-10:00PM - they will be airing Planet of the Dead and the final episode of Children of Earth as a double feature.

( And I don't wanna shout, but while we were talking, I saw you running out! )

Can you tell I only finally saw the DW Xmas episode yesterday? You know, I used to have a Jo-from-little-women doll with that exact dress (minus the apron). Loved the style for 30+ years. Oh, to wear something like that for comic con....

Title: Nine Get Over Excited

Song: "Five Get Over Excited" by The Housemartins

Summary: Fun! Fun! Fun! That's life, the universe and everything (with a nod to Doug Adams) for the Doctor and his companions in the new Doctor Who series. Sort of.

Spoilers: for seasons 1 - 4.

Watch it ( on YouTube behind the cut )

Notes: I've been waiting all season to do this vid; after the end of S4 it took me a few days to recuperate but then in re-watching S4, and selected episodes from 1-3, I re-embraced the "fun" of the companions, and others who move in and out of the Doctor's orbit - even when the fun doesn't seem very fun at all.
