Ummmmm - the little glass VW Beatle ornament is not a permanent item on the TARDIS console. It was put there temporarily to keep a three year old from playing with it. Also, the figures are not arranged right now. I just got a BUNCH of them for Christmas, so they got thrown in quickly amidst the normal figures set up (again TEMPORARILY) until I got a chance to set them up on the top shelf.

Feels Just Like I'm Posting for the First Time

Apologies to the BareNaked Ladies for messing with their lyrics!

Hello and nice to meet everyone! What do you put in these first posts? I never know. I'm actually not much of a computer person. In fact, I'm practically a neoluddite. Technology does tend to break down around me; my friends say I have a techno-field.

At 7:25pm on January 9, 2008, Mycroft said…: Thanks for the comment! But, if that is your second favorite joke right now, then what is your first favorite?

At 11:37pm on January 8, 2008, Mycroft said…: I loved the Descarte joke on your livejournal site! (There are not many people to whom you can tell that joke). I loved it so much that I stole it and put it on my blog (www.marshallhlewis.net). Sorry, but it made me laugh and laugh.

Just be glad he didn't get into home brewing with the same intensity.

I can just see it now: The RetroPlasterCast - They're not old, they're fermenting!
