DT is in LA (and was spotted at Kylie Minogue's concert last night)! Does this mean he got the part he auditioned for?!?

Hrm...nothing listed in IMDB yet. Could be very, very early if he did.

Why, yes, I am up late. *sigh*

Edit: and now there's a cat in heat outside my window...

You *are* up v. late!

What are you looking at? Anything specific?

meh. Went to lie down and started thinking. Dangerous thing, that.

Nothing in particular, was just David Tennant's IMDB page, which I realize has all the credibility of wikipedia.

*grins* I hear you there. I was trying to decide how long it would take a TL to freeze in icy water as opposed to a human being, and here we are. I am lame.

Maybe it's a callback? He does have the weeklong radio gig scheduled in November....

And don't get me started on IMDB! *grins more*

EDIT: And where oh where did my other comment go? LJ has eaten it.

No clue. Figured you deleted it?

Like hypothermia freeze? Doesn't take long for a human, I know. Seems like every heat wave, you've got people jumping into the Pacific, only to get hypothermia in the middle of 90 degree weather. (Keeps the Coast Guard employed, I guess.) My chair races sailboats, and I'm pretty sure they have to wear wetsuits/drysuits all year.

Here's water temperatures for the Pacific out here: http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/dsdt/cwtg/npac.html

If a Time Lord is at 15-16C, I'd guess they'd be able to survive a lot longer in cold water? The Doctor didn't seem to mind cold weather the times he's been in it. (I seem to recall that Gallifrey is colder and dryer than Earth.)

Nope - wasn't me. *shakes fist at LJ*

Freeze as in trapped under ice for a little while. I know an adult human being of average build will have sx of oxygen starvation within a minute or so, but would be slower the colder the water is. This, of course, doesn't take into account a binary cardiovascular system or respiratory bypass. Damn TL physiology.

That would be different than people being stupid with beer, boats, and water.

Hrm, there was a Big Finish audio where the Doctor gets stuck in ice for A Very Long Time. Wasn't one of my favorite audios, though. http://www.drwhoguide.com/who_bf98.htm

OK, TLs may be hardy, but not that hardy!!! *shakes head*

I can make a good guess, but it would involve pulling out a calculator and inputing temp of water, body surface area and cardiac output (x2) into a fancy-schmancy equation. Lesse... I think DT is 6'1.... *punches keys*

Depends on what canon you use. Heart rate would figure into the cardiac index, which would sort of duplicate the body surface area inclusion, so I can't use that. I'm doubling the average CO output just to get a close guesstimate. And I really shouldn't be doing these sorts of equations without coffee. And I really didn't want to be that awake just yet. :)

And damn, I'm in the wrong journal to edit my comment. CO output = Cardiac Output. Jeez, I need some more sleep.

There's tons. I imagine the one that comes to mind most for the general public is how 'time of death' is guesstimated. There's a few less calculations involved, but you still have equations. ;)

You mean it doesn't take three seconds to determine how and when a person died? *gasp*

*grins* One of my huge pet peeves. When someone lists 'cardiac arrest' as a cause of death. That IS death, dammit!

It's not really a criteria, more like a symptom. XP

My work here is done. *grins*

Seriously, though - it's ridiculous how many times those certificates aren't filled out properly. Say a kiddo walks under a ladder and a full paint can falls on his head - kid dies at the scene. You need to do a little investigation/find reliable witnesses as to whether kiddo was alone, or if someone helped along that paint can, inadvertently or no. Then you can make the determination as to whether the cause of death is 'accident', 'manslaughter' or 'homicide'. Say kiddo has a brain aneurysm anyway that really wasn't helped by the paint can falling on his head - it'd be listed as a contributor, but not the actual cause of death (which would be via the paint can).

I saw this start to hit Twitter a few hours ago but figured someone like you would post about it (why yes, I'm still having insomnia).

I'm thinking callback or somesuch. Or another audition entirely. As you said, he does have a commitment the beginning of November in London. Guess we'll find out eventually.

I'm seeing various tweets, but no pictures yet.

He might've at least gotten a callback; that would be cool. :)

I have no idea what the timeframe for callbacks would be for an audition that was months ago, but fingers crossed!

As far as I know, this is her first US-only tour. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
