Stuffs



I'm sure many of you have heard about this before, but Tony (DW: The Forgotten) Lee's latest comic outing, DW: The Time Machination, is now available for pre-ordering at your local comic store, as well as on a variety of online sites, EXCEPT IDW. *grumbles* It will be released on May 27th. No word on the cover/variant cover yet, but here's a pic and the summary blurb.


Photobucket

London, 1889 and a time-stranded Doctor needs the help of an old friend to fix the TARDIS...but is beset by pursuers sent by Queen Victoria herself! How is this connected to a previous tale of the Sixth Doctor-and a Fourth Doctor adventure that hasn't happened yet?

And what will happen if the Doctor is captured by the Torchwood Institute? Tony Lee and Paul Grist tell this special standalone tale!



Can't say I'm excited by the art, but... *preorders* I'm such a pushover....

Lee will also be starting in on a new *series*, the initial outing to be released in July.


In other news, I re-ordered Darksmith 4 from the Book Depository for about 2 dollars more than I would have paid, had my pre-order gone through as planned. *grumbles some more*


Also, the child made a perfect cafe mocha this morning. My work here is done! *grins*

*GIGGLESNORT* Okay, awesome family if they're making Caffe Mocha already. I Started with Orange Polar Bears (I was a soda jerk) and moved on to other drinkable sweets... and then cooking. XD;

And oh! Stand alone! I may have to get that one.

Barista Katy also makes a mean Gin & Tonic, according to the hubby. But yeah, she's finally got the cafe mocha down. Yes! *punches fist in the air*

Yep, it's a standalone. The series starts in July.

XD;;; Nice.

Maaaaaaaan you can tell how behind I am on the comics when I don't look into release dates. *headdesk*

Well, if we travel, she'll have problems. She knows how to proportion by using our cafe glasses. But yes, she could probably seek gainful employment at 9 years of age. *beams*

No worries, I'll keep you posted on the DW titles. *hugs and slides a pillow under your forehead*

LOL "Martini, sir?" I'm an under acheiver, I started at 15 (part time)! XD;;;

WOO! \o/ *hughug* Thank you. *snuggles into pillow and falls asleep* lol sad thing? I think I got TOO much sleep last night? On a fluke I was asleep by 11:30pm. wtf?

*laughs* I don't think I have to worry about that. She's already plowed her way throught the entire Harry Potter series at the age of 9 (I know!) and we're slowly improving her maths. She's also an astronomy junkie. Little Katy. Dunno where she gets it. *shakes head*

And I'm guessing you have another long, boring day ahead of you? *hugs*

[identity profile] roxyk630.livejournal.com 2009-03-13 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
OH! She sounds like I was at that age! I was horrid at math! It didn't click for me until college (the less than basic stuff). I figured it out in HS when I got REALLY good at Chemistry math and Geometry. I'm a visual/audial learner... If it's visual? The math makes sense. (Stoich! <3) The rest? Algebra was... ugh.

On the nose! Right in one! *is looking into http://www.jetprogramme.org/* Since I had originally planned on shooting for that post Uni. Now that Eddie's done with immigration... maybe I can get that accomplished. Now...it's really just convincing him.

Hrm. Math was my best subject! I have problems understanding how people can think it's difficult, because you can always check your work. Sadly, I don't have much call for it now, and the skills go away if you're not using them! Katy, sadly, has not inherited my maths skills. Bookishness yes, maths no.

Ooooh! My BFF is Japanese! It was always awesome going over to her parent's house when we were in school together. She lives in Ohio now. *grumbles*

Bookishness is oddly familiar as well... :3 add Drama and Music and we are CLONES. ;)

My BFF/Clone Batchix is in Cali now. *wibble* but my mom's BFF is in Ohio as well, Dayton now I believe. We used to live there XD; *hughug* It sucks when your BF is far away. :/ I don't like it either.

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2009-03-13 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNEW IT!!!! Katy is your CLONE!!!!!!! She's a competitive skiier, tho - you ski?

Yeah, it sucks. Plus, she's busy with work and her two kids - she has a new baby.

[identity profile] roxyk630.livejournal.com 2009-03-13 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope! I'm not even sure that I've ever BEEN skiing... I think once, when I was REALLY little in Germany...I'm a swimmer tho? (Or used to be). XD;

Ahhhhhhh yeah... XD; Bats has dolls to keep her occupied, and work?
Can't help you there - I don't know much at all about that program.
No worries, I know enough about the program, at this rate? It's just convincing the hubby?

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2009-03-13 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
*laughs* She's very good. She has a race coming up at Copper in another week - she'll be live online at live-timing.com.

Having fish and chips tonight, btw! *teases* http://www.gbfishandchips.com/index.html Haven't been there yet - we'll see how they are.

DUDE! Live feeds! That's pretty cool!

Oh damn (looking at site) it should be good. *WIBBLE* SHEPARDS PIE! AND PASTIES! <333333333333333333 AND AND FISH AND CHIIIIIIIIIPS *DIES* AND STEAK AND KIDNEY PIE AND CHICKEN AND LEEK PIE! AND *in 7th British comfort food heaven.* Sadly? I know how to cook a lot of it, Eddie just can't eat it. :P

Man, oddly? Eddie and I have thought of doing that if we stay in the US. If we loved Manhattan more? "K's Taters (K-stater's HAH!) Fish & Chips"

Yeah. we're giant geeks.

Eddie can not has? Sprue?

*laughs at your pun* Silly you!

[identity profile] roxyk630.livejournal.com 2009-03-13 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll email you about it. ;)

It was Eddie's pun, admittedly. :3 He's good with puns. Silly English.

It seems to be an innate talent of theirs.

*hugs*

And received! Checking around on my subwave network *grins* to find a name for you. *hugs*

OH! *hughug* Wow. You DO have connections!

[identity profile] mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com 2009-03-13 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Problem is the rarity. Emailing you some possibilities.

XD; my roommate is Japanese tho! :D Her family is the one I stayed with when I went as well! :D I REALLY REALLY wanna do JET... I just... don't want to regret not doing it BEFORE I got married?
