Say it again. You're the boss.
Hello. I'm Veet. Bask in my awesomeness. I'm 27, a proud geek and nerd, and will probably post a lot of silly and ridiculous things on here. My fandom of the moment is Doctor Who, especially the Big Finish Eighth Doctor audio plays, but I'm also into a lot of other fun, geeky things that I'll hopefully talk or post pictures about, especially scifi and fantasy. Oh, I'm also a lesbian, so expect gay pride and hot chicks sometimes.
Questions, comments, praise, abuse...
EIGHT
[ wear ]
Good news: last night I rediscovered my drawer of American Girl doll clothes
Better news: they perfectly fit my Eighth Doctor plushie
As I thoroughly support any reason to get Eight in dresses…
Who is that cheerful man with the adorably double-braided beard and why is he dressed up as a Japanese schoolgirl? Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft has the scoop: This is Hideaki Kobayashi and he’s known (and rightfully so) as “Sailor Suit Old Man.”
Recently, Japanese sites and Twitter users in Tokyo have spotted an old guy dressed in a sailor style school uniform—a truly unusual sight to behold. People were amused. People were baffled. What the hell was going on?!
Japanese site IT Media met Kobayashi and asked him the question on everyone’s mind: Why do you dress like a Japanese schoolgirl?
“That’s a difficult question,” said Kobayashi. “It’s not really something I’ve thought too deeply about. Hrm. I guess it’s because sailor suits look good on me?”
We hope Mr. Kobayashi has some inkling of just how awesome he is. We can’t stop smiling as we look at these photos. Head over to Kotaku to learn more about “Sailor Suit Old Man,” our new hero of Japanese weirdness.

This may be modified slightly as we go — I’ll add any additional information (there’s nothing on ticket prices here, for example — most stores will count your ticket cost toward the cost of the book.)
The current plan is that I’ll sign any copies of The Ocean at the End of the Lane for you, and one or two other things, depending on lines and numbers. This may change.
I’ll also plan to sign as much as possible of what the bookstore has of mine when I get to each new shop, including many copies of OCEAN. So you can watch me read and do a Q&A and then take off if you do not want to wait.
Many shops will have leftover signed books after the signing, or will take preorders for a book to be signed and sent out. I’ll sign all the books that each store needs signed, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to personalise phone/internet orders.
And yes, this will be my last US book-signing tour. And I’m going to try and do as much as possible of it in a bus, mostly so I can get more sleep than I did on the Anansi Boystour.
Feel very free to spread the information around. (UK & Canada & the rest of the world signing information is not in this post.)
I’m not really sure what I think of the new episode. I found it enjoyable to watch, at least. And I like Clara, even if I really, really wanted her to be Victorian.

Okay, so their big thing for the 50th anniversary special is brining back Ten and Rose? Seriously? In fifty years of history they just go back to the last Doctor?
Not saying anything against Ten and Rose, mind, but come on. We’re celebrating fifty years, not the new series.

Kitty Gamble Writes: Darkness -- George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
476. Darkness
I HAD a dream, which was not all a dream,
The bright sun was extinguish’d, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless; and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air 5
