I read some Robotech before bed. I went to bed around 6am I think, after taking a shower.
I woke up around 1pm. I saw Mark before he left for work.
I saw the coolest SPOILER picturs of one of the final 3 Whoniverse specials for the 10th Doctor and I'm so very glad that I did!!! The upcoming Easter Special ("Planet of the Dead") looks deadly lame to me (and the monsters in it are really stupid looking), so I have extremely low expectations for that one, so I've not been feeling the Doctor Who love of late... Only today I saw... Well...if you don't want to know you need to back the fuck out of here now, but I'd like to point out that these pictures didn't ruin the story for me, but made me desperate to see it!!!! :-0)

SpoilersOk. So the pictures I saw relate to one of the final 3 Doctor Who specials featuring the 10th Doctor. Here's what we already know about these specials: The first of these final 3 specials will air on Christmas day, and the final 2 will most likely air around New Years. The final 3 specials are said to have a story arc, with the final 2 forming a 2-part story - and it is known that this final story will explain why the 10th Doctor must regenerate into the 11th Doctor (played by Matt Smith) who will star in the 2010 series of Doctor Who. Ok? Everybody got that?
Ok. Here's the new stuff. The pictures were of the 10th Doctor in a modern type bookstore at a book signing. There's a big poster of the book in question, and the book has a set of fob watches on the cover; fob watches were important story elements in 'Human Nature' / 'The Family of Blood' & 'Utopia'.
The name of the book is 'A Journal of Impossible Things'! This was the name of the Doctor's storybook he'd written when he was John Smith in the 'Human Nature' / 'The Family of Blood' 2-parter (AKA the episodes that made me LOVE the 10th Doctor) - the book in those episodes referenced many other Doctor Who stories, characters & things such as the TARDIS, 'The Girl in the Fireplace', a sonic screwdriver, K-9, Rose Tyler, Autons, Clockwork Droids, Cybermen, Daleks, the Moxx of Balhoon, a Slitheen, the Chula gas-masked Zombie, + the 1st, 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th Doctors (and that's not all).
Also of note in these new special pix is the name of the author: Verity Newman. In "Human Nature" the 10th Doctor (as John Smith) tells Joan Redfern that his parents names were Sydney & Verity, which was a nod to Sydney Newman (credited as the primary creator of Doctor Who) & Verity Lambert (the show's first producer).
Oh, and one more thing. The author at the modern day book store is played by Jessica Hynes...who played Joan Redfern in 'Human Nature' / 'The Family of Blood'!!!!!! So yeah, I'm intrigued.
You know, I'll just include 2 of those pictures here:
