... so, life is stranger than fiction.

And if I ever find myself questioning that again, I'm going to come back and look at this again. Because that's the kind of cluster f*ck I expect out of trashy fanfiction. Speaking of which, I think I'd fall over laughing if someone wrote fic where the Doctor meets David Tennant. I don't usually like real person fic, but it'd be worth it just to see the dialogue that the whole pseudo-incestuous relationship would generate. Besides, he's 37 and she's 23. Cradle robbing much? O____o But then, seeing as this article makes Tennant out to be a total playboy anyway, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. (I know, I know, trashy celebrity gossip - but this is entertaining and I had nothing better to do tonight. XDDD) But yeah. That's pretty special.

Also, . Because I can, and for no reason better or worse than that.

Straw poll! I'm thinking of setting up a weekly series of posts for the things I come up with on the train. My commute is about an hour each day, which is to say that I have a lot of time to think and come up with some nutty stuff, which then may or may not go on to become fic. It'd be a bit like that locked post I made last week (the week before?), only on a somewhat regular basis so I'm not tri-monthly looking at my notebook and going ;_________; why haven't I typed this up yet? ;__________; Would anyone be interested? Fair warning, I get a little cracktastic sometimes. ^.^;;;; But yes! Opinions appreciated.

The second article mentions that he dated Sophia Myles for a while, but not that she played Madame de Pompadour in season 2. Personally, I think he's just taking advantage of his position to act out his fanboyism.

Also, that tshirt is brilliant.

Also, here's another weird Doctor Who web:

Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor, married Lalla Ward, who played Romana, shortly after leaving the show. She was probably less than half his age. They divorced a few years later.

However, both of them were friends with Douglas Adams of Hitchhiker's Guide fame, who had written several Fourth Doctor episodes. He hosted a party in the late 80s at which they were all present, and Lalla Ward met Richard Dawkins, the biologist, and they ended up getting married. Richard Dawkins will reportedly have a cameo on Doctor Who this season.

Richard Dawkins, Douglas Adams, Tom Baker, Lalla Ward... quite a remarkable social circle to keep.
