Sweet baby Jesus…
This looks both delicious and so uncanny valley that it may give me nightmares.
duuuude.
A commonplace book. Or, how I prove I spend too much time on the Internet.

tl;dr: Even God changes his mind, when he sees that the rules are unjust.
“In an entertainment world where women are disappearing from multiplexes, where men bulk up as superheroes while women don’t eat but sip pink drinks, we need to remember that there was once a very short heroine who hunted monsters and talked about Einstein, who kicked ass and questioned her faith, who went to work with a man she loved but didn’t rip his shirt off over lunch, who didn’t want to believe, but opened herself nonetheless to possibility. We need Scully back, even for a moment.”
Q: What's the temperature like inside a tauntaun?
A: Lukewarm
HOW DO I EMBED THE INSTANT RIMSHOT
FUCKING MONDAYS, AM I RIGHT?
DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH COFFEE IN THE WORLD TO HELP ME RIGHT NOW. I WAS UP UNTIL 4AM LOOKING AT INTERIOR DESIGN BLOGS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I’M NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO PAINT MY APARTMENT.
THE INTERNET IS THE WORST FOR THAT KIND OF THING. ONE TIME I WENT ON WIKIPEDIA TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE DRUMMER FROM DEF LEPPARD’S NAME AND I ACCIDENTALLY GOT A DEGREE IN NEUROBIOLOGY.
TELL ME ABOUT IT. I WAS TRYING TO DOWNLOAD SEABISCUIT AND NOW I’M AN ORDAINED MINISTER.

I have one of these! It is not numbered and is in nowhere near as good condition, but it is signed and personalized:

I bought this at Powell’s before I went to the Last Angel show at the Aladdin, oh so many years ago, but he wasn’t doing signings at the time. I got it signed finally during the Anansi Boys tour.
FAVORITE MARTHA MOMENT
I mean, not only does she defeat the Master all on her own, she fucking trolls him. On her own initiative. The Doctor didn’t say shit about a red-herring plan or a gun with four parts; Martha has the Master’s number so well that even as she puts the real plan in place, she comes up with a diversion she knows he’ll fall for like the gullible supervillain he is, and she deploys it for shits and giggles and uses it to get herself captured and on board the Valiant and then she faces down public execution so that she can see the look on his face and tell him he’s been owned.
…you know what, somehow this hadn’t occurred to me! I mean, obviously if the Doctor only had time to whisper to her “use the countdown” (which … itself makes no fucking sense, because how would either of them know about that) BUT anyway of course the Doctor didn’t have time to tell Martha to redirect! But here she is with her gun in four parts and her timing the reveal to Docherty to get aboard the Valiant and really everything. That’s all her! OH MARTHA. <3
That is why she was the best companion evar. (Not that I don’t love all of them, but Martha will always be the best.)
