I will admit it, I have the Doctor Who bug again. Doesn’t everyone get a bug up their butt about something every now and then? Plus it feels good to write something. Anything.

I recently decided to vary my Classic Doctor Who viewing, mostly because…

Was it a mere two weeks ago that I posted about finding Doctor Who Toys cheap? This afternoon I decided on a whim to go to Yoga class by myself and on the way back, feeling VERY refreshed and relaxed I stopped into the same Comic Book Store DreamWorld…

I’ll admit it, I can’t keep a schedule at all. Not only that, but I’m jumping around all over the place with this series, much like the show and the Doctor himself. So I think it’s entirely appropriate that because I’m not watching these shows in any…

I’m feeling rather nostalgic today since it’s my 41st Birthday. Something I was just pondering – why don’t card companies make Hologram cards anymore? I really enjoyed those in the 90′s and I haven’t seen a full hologram card in forever, and they we…

I’m guessing there will be an airbrushed card in Topps 2012 Series 1. This is the best news that Angels fans could get today – signing BOTH Pujols and CJ Wilson, creating a log-jam at 1b that you LOVE to have. The Halos aren’t done either, I would ex…
