The Buzzfeed article is AWESOME. But apparently on tumblr people were bitching that "he's too old"? I don't know, I've mainly been on ONTD, people were so enthusiastic there, and so am I! An older Doctor, yay! (Maybe this says something about me and my preferences. Maybe :P)

Can't wait to watch more The Thick of It. But preparation for job interview. And another job application. And books (currently reading Stephen King's Under the Dome and Roald Dahl's Kiss Kiss). And Rumbelle Magic Mountain smut. Ahum. I didn't say that last one out aloud :P

Good luck with the beta-ing and the proofing, dear! <3

YES! And I BURST OUT LAUGHING because hello, fuckers, wasn't Smith supposed to be too young? :D Seriously. Seriously! Don't be convinced, that's your right and your problem. Mourn Eleven, I'll fully support that. But just don't say stupid stuff like that :D ( ... )

*grins at your gif*

(They'll ALLLLLLL have to write Doctor/River, as she's the only one who doesn't look like jailbait, comparatively. Ha! one-nil to marriage!)
HA! *punches the air*
Someone needs to make Alex + Capaldi icons or gifs (if it's possible with a gif? =P I'm not very technology-savvy…). Seriously. I would implode. =P

YES CAPALDI! I was so relieved and happy and thrilled when I heard he had been chosen. I still can't believe it!
The reactions were both hilarious and exhausting , but that's fandom for you.
And yes, whatever the Doctor, we love him!
*serious face on* Go work. I shut up... or maybe not because CAPALDI!

It's wonderful! :D I hadn't been following the speculation at all, I just wanted to embrace the one and only Twelve when he was announced, not get all excited about all kinds of people-so I'd heard his name here and there but hadn't really paid attention. I was so happy when I checked him out though, he looks like he'll be great :D
Fandom will be fandom, people will be people… ;)
Will attempt to be productive today ;)

I did not follow any of the speculations and was joking about how I wanted him to be approximately every actor/actress/landmark in the UK. Or Mark Gatiss, who would then undertake to have the whole cast fired to play himself Clara, the Master, River, Vastra and every villain. Only John Barrowman would remain in place, because even evil Gatiss cannot resist Barrowman's charm.

All that to conceal the fact that I was a bit worried Moffat would go for another attractive youngster -he has a tendency to be Hitchcock and hire people he would want to look like or find very attractive. He does make a lot of comments about his cast's appearance... Well.

With Capaldi, I know we're in for an emotional, really crazy ride. He is VERY versatile.

Good luck for your work! I'm progressing with your book -Paul Celan happened in the middle of the process-, still fantastic, I'm savouring it!

LOL to the Mark Gatiss thing! :D Haha, that's hilarious.
Yeah-I'd mostly gotten that impression with the girls, was it the same with Matt and Arthur? =P

*writhes in anticipation*
Besides he's SUCH a passionate Whovian and haha it's wonderful :D Tennant #2…

I'm so happy you're enjoying the book :D Thanks! ♥♥♥
