I went shopping!

[teyla]

Omg guys I spent so much money today.

wihluta is visiting (yay! :D) and we went to the Forbidden Planet store. I know I shouldn't go there - so far I could always exercise some restraint, but for some reason, it left me today.

I bought:



- the Mouse of Rassilon.



I actually didn't buy this one at the Forbidden Planet store, but at the pound shop next door. It's the Mouse of Rassilon, and it was only one pound! I had to buy it.

- the Doctor and Donna.



Crappy picture is crappy; I apologize. My excuse is that the lighting in here is abysmal. Anyway. I was actually only going to buy the Doctor, because they didn't have a Donna. Then I went to the downstairs department of the store, and, yeah, well. They did have one there. So this is how I ended up buying two action figures, when I actually felt bad about buying even only one. I mostly blame wihluta.

- RTD's book The Writer's Tale



See how he's looming over the Doctor and Donna like a vengeful deity? Lol, maybe the picture would have to be better for that effect to actually, you know, take effect, but it makes me smile. Anyway, yes. The book. I wanted to buy it from the minute I saw it, but ashfdlkj thirty quid. So I didn't. But then, they got in a few signed editions, and that was that.



RTD AUTOGRAPH. I'm not sure who the other guy is that signed; I'm guessing it's RTD's co-author Benjamin Cook. Whatever, lol, it's an RTD AUTOGRAPH. So, so exciting.


So, all in all I'm not sad I spent an insane amount of money on Doctor Who merchandise today. Um. xD

Oh, and wtf is up with LJ? Halloween design? DNW. I want my LJ to be blue, kthxbai.

TOO COOL@!

I love how it looks like RTD is playing with The Doctor and Donna dolls.

OMG MOUSE OF RASSILON. HOW MUCH WIN IS THAT?? XD

[teyla]

:D I actually squealed when I found that mouse in the pound shop. I scared a little kid. (Muhahaha ;)). And it actually works! It crawls across the floor and twists its little tail and all! So if I ever need to distract a guard, I know what I'll use.

Hee, I didn't photograph it like that on purpose, it just happened, but I was amused, too. :D

If it makes you happy, the money is good used!

[teyla]

Hee, I guess. ;) I just hope I'll have some money left to buy food by the end of the month xD.

Oh shit, I laughed so hard when I read, "See how he's looming over the Doctor and Donna like a vengeful deity?" Like, I made this noise like someone high on helium, and then couldn't breathe for a few minutes. I'm going to be thinking of that and randomly giggling for days now, thanks.

And I NEED that book. I want to see what RTD has to say for himself. I'll be buying it as soon as it's available somewhere I can get it.

Oh yeah, and the Halloween themse is stupid. I can barely read the links.

:D Glad to have amused you. I didn't take the photo like that on purpose, but it did make me grin when it came out like that.

Ooh, don't you start too with the RTD bashing! RTD is a genius. (Over the last couple of months, lf2871 and I have been in constant debate over the question of which one is the better writer, Moffat or RTD. ;)) I am very happy to have that book now, though. I really wanted it the minute I saw it.

I don't get the mouse of rassilon. Is there some backstory there?

[teyla]

Hee, do you remember the scene in The Doctor's Daughter when Ten distracts a guard with a toy mouse he happens to have in his pocket? It's pretty much the exact same mouse like the one I bought. After that episode had aired, an icon showed up at doctorwho with a picture of the toy mouse saying 'The Mouse of Rassilon', which is a reference to the seal of Rassilon. It's all just silly puns and word games, really. :)

I remember that episode, but the toy mouse had escaped me. Nice mouse!

AWESOME! Spending money on fannish things is money well & wisely spent.
