The Ten Doctors = teh AWESOME

Today's installment of The Ten Doctors is awesome, and shows exactly why I love the strip. It's a story-based strip, but today's comic requires knowing nothing more than that a TARDIS full of a number of Doctors' companions, under the command of the Brigadier, has just rescued the First Doctor from certain death.

When this guy gets it right, he really hits it out of the park—and he gets it right more often than not. And I'm amazed that he usually manages to put up this huge, 8-frame updates seven days a week. Wow.

This is an awesome comic.

Yearly holiday greed post

Well, I've updated my Amazon wish list.

It's funny, I only ever started keeping one after I had learned about people who go around searching out random people's gift lists and then gifting them something at random. Never happened to me, though. Sure was a great incentive to keep that list, though—greed.

Not too sure I'll get a lot of stuff on it from friends and family this year. I think I've pretty much exhausted the holiday good will of my parents (staying with them, paying my rent and utilities while I can't work), my uncle (taking care of my apartment and forwarding stuff to me) and one of my brothers (who bought me the Spycraft 2.0 hardcover for help doing some freelancing work).

Also, I've learned the lesson not to put stuff on it unless you really wouldn't mind getting it instead of something else, and to remove the stuff you don't want anymore before you're inadvertently gifted it. Heh.

So this year's list is lean, mean, and without the crap on it that it's had in the past. Everything on it is something I wouldn't mind having. Though the highest-priority stuff, like the 3-disc DVD of Wall-E, is the stuff I really want.
