My personal recent favourite is The Doctor's Wife - though that one might be a little fan-oriented. Neil Gaiman wrote it, and it really gives a new perspective on the shows begininnings

I love that one too. Neil Gaiman's Stardust is my favorite graphic novel.

I love the Sandman series myself - cliche though that is! (Even the 1st book, which is widely regarded as poor set up)
Actually I prefer the TV show Neverwhere to the novel revamp!

I think I started watching the 11 one with the astronaut but I can't remember... I've seen a bit of all of them but I came to the party with 8. Haven't seen Blink yet but I want to. Eventually I'll catch Doctor again and I have at least one adventure from all of them.

I haven't read/seen any Neil Gaiman yet or known that I have outside of an episode of Arthur. No, I haven't seen Coraline either. Then again I haven't looked too much in to his stuff.

Haha - I'm beginning to thing the good Doctor needs his own thread.

I miss the days when a publisher would at least give you a rejection letter, so you know at least they looked at it.

Does it feel like you're chasing people around the room when talking with them? Do you suddenly find yourself yards from your origin point? Do you wonder why people seem so far away? You may be a close talker. Closetalkeritis is a common but treatable condition in which you can't tell you're up in people's grills. Common symptoms may include: People backing away. People avoiding you. People shifting awkwardly AS they back away. Scooting around a room during conversations. There's hope for you. Try Backoficil. Taken once a day, you'll suddenly be aware of your awkward social tendencies. Side effects may include pleasant, longer lasting conversations. People may not avoid you so much. Don't delay, try Backoficil today!

Well, I finally got around to reading Poison Princess. It was actually a pretty good book, although I was kind of expecting it not to be very good because it's the first YA novel written by one of my favorite romance novelists.

Although now I definitely need to learn more about Tarot decks.

First rule of a tarot deck, buy one you like to look at. Second rule don't over pay because people will pull the "rare" and "collector" card on some. My sister paid 3 figures for one, I got one used for $5, the one I think is the prettiest was $20. Used is fine because you can cleanse just about anything. If you want to make your own several places sell blank cards.

The only deck to avoid all together is the Dollfie one that shows up every now and again. Aside from having pirated images that have nothing to do with the card meanings it's missing a couple of minors for what ever reason.

You spelled Backofficil wrong.

Definitely get a tarot deck you like! My first deck just never really worked with me... but did for a roommate in college so I gifted it to her when I got my new deck. I use the Dragon Tarot and I LOVE it. Also spend time with your cards, really looking at them. Sometimes the meaning isn't what is written in the 'guide' but in the card itself. When I did a reading after my sister told me she was pregnant with twins, the first card to come up was the Lovers. But in my deck it looked more like two dragons curled around each other and I was like 'duh'... twins. ^_~ My deck was also missing the Star card when I got it (brand new in shrink wrap with the outer box ALSO in shrink wrap). I was really annoyed until a friend pointed out that maybe I wasn't supposed to use that card. So I don't use the Star.

I also have the Kalevala tarot. All the cards have illustrations of the deities and folklore... except the moon. The deity associated with that one is Mielikki, who happens to be one of my patrons. I actually was really happy because it didn't interfere with my mental image of her. ^__________^
