Another Post About The Glamour Chase (more definitive spoilers, cut)

Gary Russell has the power to pull his interpretation of Rory and Amy from the tie-ins to influence the show... and I hope he does. I'm only a few more pages ahead of last night (last night was kind of busy) and it's still so early in the book that there's no guarantee how the plot will work out.

But if I thought I loved Rory onscreen, the Rory of this book is 1000x better, and Amy's coming out better too. And what makes it all so fabulous is that it isn't Rory and Amy 2.0, it's exactly who we saw onscreen... now we just know more of what they're thinking.

Three Squees for Isaiah Mustafa!

So, there's this actor named Isaiah Mustafa. Last winter, his willingness to work half naked, his smokin' hot physique, and his ability to rattle off random ridiculous non sequiturs with gravitas rocketed Old Spice to the top of the Superbowl Ads. (And showed up in a hilarious metaquotes post about the Doctor talking in much the same manner.)

Old Spice, somewhat belatedly realizing that they had tapped into a cultural phenomenon that could be the next "... for everything else, there's Mastercard" has announced that for the next few days, Old Spice Guy will be personally answering Tweets with video.

The Internet has exploded.

I laughed like a hyena at the part about wolverine pelts.

I would pay good money for someone to engineer my answering machine message out of this
