Watching Doctor Who

I figured that it would happen eventually. I’ve been tagged in that “Seven Random Things” meme by Cloudy over at Cloudy’s Chronicle. But before I fulfill my meme-y obligation, I thought that you all might be interested in hearing about a casting rumor from series two of Torchwood.

*Ahem*
James Marsters is guest-starring in an episode of Torchwood! (Yes. Spike from Buffy.) Now, although the articles I’ve seen that claim this as fact say that the info is on James Marsters’ Official Website, I was just over there and I saw nary a mention of this fact. Mind you, he does seem to have two websites, and the second one is currently down…so, maybe the information is lurking on that one. I would just like to say…it would be really interesting to see him on the show. *fingers crossed*

Anyway, on to the meme. I’m supposed to post seven random things about myself. Well, as this *is* a Doctor Who blog, I will provide you with
Seven Random Facts About Myself That Are Vaguely Related to Doctor Who:

1. I have been a Doctor Who Fan for over 20 years. (And I still have my “Time Lord” t-shirt from High School.)

2. I’ve only ever seen Christopher Eccleston on Doctor Who. (Although this will change in October if not sooner.)

3. I have Patrick Troughton’s Autograph. (And Colin Baker’s, too)

4. I have never been to Cardiff. (I hope that this will change…and soon!)

5. Those Bluetooth ear thingies bugged me when I first started seeing them, but after the whole “Earpod” thing on Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel they totally weird me out. Especially the ones with the little blinking light. (eek!)

6. I was in London just months before the London Eye was completed, and I also didn’t visit Big Ben. (I did manage to see the Rosetta Stone, though.)

7. I helped to pay for the construction of the new Globe Theater. Seriously. My High School held a Shakespeare read-athon a few years running to help raise money. We’ve got a plaque on a pillar over there. (Oh yeah, and I had tea there while I was in London…and watched an all male production of Julius Caesar.)

Well, there you are. Seven Random Facts. Now, I’m supposed to tag seven other people, but this is actually the fourth time I’ve done this meme (I have a few blogs, you see) and I’ve pretty much used up my tagging ability at this point. So, if you are interested in this meme, consider yourself tagged. Just be sure to comment here with a link to your answers, because I’m curious that way.
