Dave's not here man!


As if things weren't bad enough in the world currently, the BBC has just released news that David Tennant will not be reprising his role as the tenth Doctor on the awesomely awesome Doctor Who. We all kind of knew this was coming -- with the reign of Russel T. coming to an end, and the truncated series next year -- but its still a dark day for Whovians and fangirls everywhere. As a tribute here's a list of my favourite 10th Doctor quotes.

10.
Detective-Inspector Bishop:
Start from the begining, tell me everything you know.
Doctor: Well, for starters, I know you can't wrap your hand around your elbow and make your fingers meet.

9.
Martha: What's that?
The Doctor: Sonic screwdriver.
Martha: Well if you're not going to tell me.
The Doctor: No really, see? It's a screwdriver and it's.... sonic.
Martha: What else have you got - laser spanner?
The Doctor: I did, but it was stolen by Emmeline Pankhurst. Cheeky woman.

8.
Dame Kelly Holmes Close resident: [To the Doctor, who is crouched on his lawn] What's your game?
The Doctor: [Turning round quickly] Snakes and Ladders? Quite good at...squash? [pause] I'm being facetious, I...there's no call for it.

7.
[Thinking they are in Rome]
Donna: Have you been here before?
Doctor: Yes I have, and before you ask, that fire had nothing to do with me. Well, a little bit...

6.
The Doctor: I like that, "Allons-y". I should say allons-y more often. Look sharp Rose Tyler, allons-y! And then it would be really brilliant if I met someone called Alonso, 'cause then I could say allons-y Alonso every time....

5.
Tenth Doctor: D'ya need this? [offers him the sonic screwdriver]
Fifth Doctor: Nah, I'm fine.
Tenth Doctor: Oh, no, of course. You mostly went hands-free didn't you? Like, "Hey, I'm the Doctor. I can save the universe using a kettle and some string! And look at me, I'm wearing a vegetable!"

4.
Martha: Magic and stuff, that's a surprise. It's all a bit Harry Potter.
The Doctor: Wait till you read book seven- oh, I cried!

3.
Rose: Oh, here's trouble. What you been up to?
The Doctor: Oh, this and that. Became the imaginary friend of a future French aristocrat, picked a fight with a clockwork man... [A whinny is heard from off screen] Oh, and I met a horse.
Mickey: What's a horse doing on a spaceship?
The Doctor: Mickey, what's pre-revolutionary France doing on a spaceship? Get a little perspective!

2.
The Doctor: Yeah! Listen, gotta dash. Things happening. Well… four things. Well, four things and a lizard.

1.
General Staal:
We have an intruder!
Doctor:
How'd he get in? In-tru-da window?

What's in my purse? Volume 1

Those of you who knew me in Highschool will no doubt remember I was constantly emptying my pockets of a lot of random things. I'm not sure why I collect things so much, I'm not really a pack rat -- but I always tend to carry a lot on my person. Since growing up I've moved onto having a purse to carry everything in. Which is better because I can A) carry more stuff and B)it doesn't look like I have weird protuberances growing out of my body. After taking the bus from Kingston to Hamilton after Thanksgiving I emptied out my purse -- this is what I found.

Eyedrops (5 bottles all different kinds)
1 bottle of Codeine
1 Bottle of Tylenol with Codeine
2 Pirate Style Eyepatches
My Wallet (thats another entry itself!)
My iPod
Extra set of headphones
Cell Phone
A Book of Canadian Stamps
2 American Stamps
3 Pens (2 blue 1 red)
1 Pencil
Bus ticket stub (Kingston - Toronto)
10 Ride Go Ticket (6 rides left)
A Double Cheeseburger (which I forgot I had and promptly ate)
A Bottle of orange juice
a bottle of water
2 Tubes of Chapstick (1 Chocolate Raspberry, 1 Raspberry)
An Appointment card for the eye doctor
A Business Card for Big B Comics in Hamilton
A Roll of Scotch Tape (this surprised me)
3 Safety Pins
A Bottle of Hand Sanitizer
The "Go" section of the Hamilton Spectator (which I found on the bus and meant to read, but never did).
Stick of concealer
