The Mail Carrier Really Loves Me

Just delivered. I’m catching up on The Black Archives, the excellent series of critical monographs from Obverse Books on individual Doctor Who stories. I have yet to review this series, but I’ll get to it at some point.

Oooh. Shiny.

Pictured here, are volumes 29, 30, 33, and 34. The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Horror of Fang Rock, and Battlefield. While I haven’t read the other three authors, range editor Philip Purser-Hallard’s work on the series (4: Dark Water/Death in Heaven and 13: Human Nature/The Family of Blood, the latter co-authored with Naomi Jacobs) has been quite good. If you’re in the UK, you can grab these straight from the publisher’s website (or from Amazon.co.uk), but if you’re in the US or elsewhere, head to Lulu. Very affordable, and concise examinations of your favorite DW stories.

ID Card

My nearly 15-year-old son, who is already 6’2″ (a full 2 inches taller than his old man), just returned from a 10-day trip to Seattle to visit his Aunt.

Knowing I like Doctor Who, he brought me a gift.

The policy is now known as ‘junking.’
