Went down to Barnes & Noble today on a hunt for Tomb of the Cybermen, but alas, I didn't find it there either.

However! I went & inquired about their ordering procedures & the very nice girl who helped me explained that I could order it then, it would arrive the following week, they'd call me to let me know & I could just pick it up & pay for it then. When I went to Borders, they wouldn't let me pay in cash upfront, I had to pay with a credit card right then. I still need to get my bank account sorted out (o, sigh, Saffron, when will you be better about your finances?), so that was out. But I placed the order for it at Barnes & Noble today & let's just hope it'll be in my hands by next week, eh? When it gets here, I think I'll have everything that's been reconned, or that survived from the Troughton era, plus a little from the Hartnell era. Then, the great rewatch-athon shall begin!

Interestingly enough, it'll start with the William Hartnell era for the first three serials, I think. The idea is to do three serials a weekend, recons & what I have on DVD, which is a good amount. Of course, when I get to the DVDs, I get to listen to all the commentaries & watch all the extras, so that could take a bit. But it'll be tons of fun!

I may even do a relisten to all three of the Two-era Companion Chronicles after I watch everything - The Great Space Elevator (which I believe we'll be doing a community listen to over at oh_fiddle soon), Helicon Prime (which I'm actually listening to now & quite enjoying, despite the plot holes) & Fear of the Daleks. Also, I remember poking around the TARDIS wiki & noted that apparently Polly has a story of her own coming out at some point. Must look further into that.

(& do you know I have The Dalek Invasion of Earth on DVD & I still haven't seen it? I feel like I should try & locate The Aztecs first, then move on to Susan's last serial. But I'd like to see it. Hmm.)

Beyond my mad fannishness, nothing too new's been happening lately. I do, however, have a new layout, userinfo & I redid my icons a bit. I've also got a shiny new Two-era moodtheme by balcairn, which I love. Pretty pretty Two & all of his pretty era.

(I ♥ monochrome. Is pretty!)

I also bought more tea today. That makes . . . five kinds or so - no, wait, this one's a sampler tin set, so maybe . . . ten types?

& the sad thing? I'd still think about buying more if I saw some I liked. Right now I'm having a white tea called Ambrosia Plum. It's nice, not too remarkable, but it's a fine tea before bed! It's also in a sachet, as opposed to being loose, like I usually have it.

I looked at kettles & teapots today, but I didn't find any that I could just fill & boil on the stove like my broken one, & plus, I didn't have enough money to buy one anyway. But a new kettle needs to be procured sooner rather than later, I think.

Some people are addicted to coffee. I shouldn't be roused in the morning without a cup of tea if you expect me to bounce up & sing to you. [/tea addict]

Goodness, I'm dull when I'm sleepy, aren't I?

(but I ♥ this damn icon.)

Mmm teaaaaa...I need me some good tea! I have lipton right now, and thats IT. Do you know how weak lipton is? It's like drinking hot water plain D: I need me another canister of Dragon Well because that stuff is like FOOD, I swear. It's a snack, honestly. And a good breakfast tea, I need something for the mornings too...I hate being broke.

Your new layout is pretty!

Withnail + Marwood Cigarette= OTP ♥

Where are you in California, if you don't mind me asking? I want to come stalk you, watch DW DVD's and steal your tea :)

UGH, LIPTON. That is NOT tea, that's just weak, IMITATION tea, I swear! My pappy makes a good sweet tea from it though, & that's ONLY how I'll have it.

& OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING LINKING ME TO THAT PLACE DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY I WILL LOSE TO TEA NOW? Thankyou. :D But your tea of choice sounds delicious! I'm fond of China Gunpowder green tea myself, but I only ever found a cylinder of it literally at the end of the state last October. I'm almost out! :O

Thankyou! I found so many nice ones; it was hard to choose between all of them.

HELL YES. :D Cigarettes are a suitable substitute for curly-haired, doe-eyed writer-actors in a pinch, y/n?

& I'm in San Francisco, actually! Land of tea, lots of craziness & a LOT of hills. You totally should. Classic!Who snaps & tea will be here for you!

Your layout needs more charley

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

THIS IS TRUE.

I miss my Eight banner. D:

Actually, we've already started the discussion post at oh_fiddle - though nobody has dropped a comment yet.

And ooh, you should watch The Dalek Invasion of Earth, yes! The last 9 minutes will break your heart. (and I can't help but giggle at Susan's love interest - does this attraction for Scottish boys run in the family? And does this mean I'm related to the Doctor? :P)

Ooh, lovely layout! Needs more kilts, though. :D

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

ARGH, I HAVE NO CONCEPT OF DAYS & DATES. I could have sworn it was going to be later in the week! I've bookmarked the discussion post though & I'll TRY & leave a comment or two as soon as I get done with it. (so many audios, so many unfinished ones! D:)

& I'm thinking that since I AM starting the Troughton rewatch-athon with a few Hartnell-era eps (how ironic is that? :P), I may as well go all the way & watch The Dalek Invasion of Earth first. So I'll start with that one, then The Time Meddler & go from there. :D (OMG SHE DID NOT . . . yes, it's GOT to run in the family. I NEED TO SEE THIS. ::will remember the tissues::)

Thankyou! & I WHOLLY AGREE. I should have a Jamie header! With clouds, of course. :D

You ♥ tea and I ♥ comedy.
WHY DON'T WE LIVE IN LONDON???

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

We should plan a joint holiday to London then!

Ah, tea. The answer to all of life's problems. TEA ADDICTS WILL ONE DAY RULE THE UNIVERSE!

I love the new layout, btw.

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

WE MOST CERTAINLY SHALL! With very dainty teacups & scary sticks of wood! ^-^

Thankyou! I miss my Eight header, but a change for spring is always nice.

I'm starting to think we tea addicts should just form our own club. You know, like how people have wine tasting clubs? But tea tasting clubs would be SO much more fun! (& would cut down on drunken driving accidents, possibly.) Do you think those exist?

& thankyou! I lovelove my new layout; it's so clean & springy, what with the clouds header & my new friends-only banner. I'll go have a peep at yours now!

& aww, ONE DAY, YOU WILL. Or you'll be in London, I'll come visit & I'll make you sit & watch some with me! :D Classic!Who is love. Utter love. ^___________^
