My friend and awesome!twin unbrokensky and I have been sadly muse-less for months, so we decided to have an icon battle to jumpstart ourselves into making icons again. We picked five fandoms to work with and Doctor Who was one of them...

[8] Doctor Who - various episodes
[32] Other fandoms (Bones, Glee, Life on Mars (UK), Merlin)
[40] Total

Teasers:

See them all at my icon journal!

Has anyone ever purchased anything from The Celestial Toystore? I was looking into purchasing the fob watch, but £120.00 is pricy for an American, even for the holidays... so any word from you all would be appreciated in helping make the decision.

We"ve meandered through Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and now Nevada, through desert and over mountain passes - most recently the cultural desert of Reno and the highest always-open Sierra pass of the 431 and around Lake Tahoe, where there is some snow and some of the biggest pine cones *ever* :)

Quick Question to all you Who fans.

Anyone ever make a model of toy version of Captain Jack's Sonic Blaster

Looks like the Doctor will be hosting the BBC Christmas Idents this year: presumably that's Special Project 3.

The scheduling of the Christmas and New Year specials is confirmed. Good slots, positioning the show between the BBC's other big evening events, Eastenders and the Gavin and Stacey finale, but it looks like Part Two's lost some length since we last heard about it. Hmm. Hope they haven't cut too much out of David's swan song.

And a RTD quote that should delight Doctor/Master shippers, from his new Radio Times interview:

( Concerns The End of Time )

What do ya reckon?

• Reading Gibbon's "Decline and Fall" - Chapter X, which is mostly about the Goths
  
  
  Almost entirely about the barbarians - mainly the Goths - with the deadly succession of shortlived emperors mere background detail. And this seems right - the real story is not the politics of the Empire's leadership, but the story of how the empire catastrophically failed to maintain the physical security of its inhabitants, the first duty of any state, as the eastern defences crumbled both north and south. It seems to me almost as if the Roman Empire collapsed at this point, the middle of the third century.

This rewatch reaches the Season 8 finale. It is the first story in this rewatch to feature Jo Grant, Mike Yates, The Master or magic\psi-powers. It achieved the rating of 81.76%, placing it at number 34 and making it the 2nd favourite Jon Pertwee story in this poll.

This is also the only one to feature Roger Delgado, as indeed the 6 main incarnations of the Master have only one appearance each in this rewatch (except Eric Roberts who has none). Respectively they are The Daemons, The Deadly Assassin, The Five Doctors and Utopia\ The Sound of Drums\ Last of the Time Lords.

But what do you think? Please post your reviews, comments and thoughts here. All are welcome

Next week we miss out a season for the first time since the William Hartnell era and watch The Green Death.

I know a lot of people reading this respect Patrick Stewart so I thought it worthwhile posting this article he wrote for the Guardian yesterday. He is promoting Refuge's campaign http://www.fourwaystospeakout.com/ - "Speak out against domestic violence" (note - the site has audio on the homepage)

switched off comments. If you want to discuss this please do it in your journal or face to face

Can anyone tell me what the colour scheme should be for the Seal of Rassilon? I can't seem to find any pictures of it in context and really need to know. I'll be eternally grateful if someone can help me!

This is just from the Olympus wing of my camera collection.
Left to right at the back are the Trip 35, the Pen FT, the Pen E-P1, and the OM-1.
At the front is the Pen EE-2.
The Trip 35 was made some time between 1967 and 1984.
The Pen FT was originally launched in 1966, and is a half frame SLR.
The Pen EE-2 is a half-frame point and shoot from 1968-1977
The OM-1 SLR came out in the early seventies, but I don't seem to have any shots on Flickr from that.

Odd one out is the Pen E-P1, which draws obvious design cues from the FT, but is a digital camera which only came out this summer.

I've used all these cameras this year with the exception of the OM-1, which needs a new battery - and as you can't get mercury batteries any more also needs an adaptor for modern batteries, as the zinc-air batteries you can use don't last very long.

The half-frame cameras really shine with modern film. Using Ektar100 in the Pen FT gave excellent results, 72 shots to a roll!
I'm still hoping the set of Kodachromes I shot on the Trip-35 back in September turn up one day. I think their journey back from Kansas was interrupted by postal strikes and maybe they're sitting in a pile somewhere.
