Spacy Friday and geeky plushiness

First of all, today (Friday) is the birthday of Buzz Aldrin, Tom Baker, and DeForest Kelley (making it two doctors, no, three since [livejournal.com profile] astrogirl2 tells me Buzz Aldrin has a PhD). Many more good years for two of them anyway!

And here are two geeky plushies from thinkGeek which I rather fancy. Why yes, I've put my email in to be notified of when the first one is available again.

A soft kitty that sings the Soft Kitty song (from The Big Bang Theory)
A plush Enterprise which will go with my plush Kirk and Spock :-)

Three doctors, I'd say. Buzz Aldrin has a PhD. :)

And those plushies are adorable.

Cool; I'll change that.

I would buy 'em both if the soft kitty was in stock.

The soft kitty would be perfect if it sang the song with Penny's voice, but I suppose that would be too much to hope for. :)

There's a video and it sounds like Penny. :-)

Ah, I looked at the page you linked to but failed to notice the link to the video.

Hah! The kitty is wonderful! :^) And the accompanying video is funny.

Even funnier if you know the TV series it's from!

Lovely plushies! The Kitty, of course, but I wish I had that Enterprise!
This and DeForest Kelly´s/ McCoy´s birthday will lead me straight to my old beloved ST TOS zines for that evening:-)

If the soft kitty comes back into stock, I'm so buying them both! And wow, you have zines!

WOw indeed! I managed to get lots of them when lots of people were selling them online - it was a bargain! Now I believe I have a very good collection of the best ones:-):-)

I bought a lot of B7 ones second-hand online and here when I discovered the fandom about 9 years ago. I devoured them like a mad thing at the time; now I need to go back and reread at my leisure.

Haha, that was exactly the way I behaved over B7 too and later with Sharpe...like an unmature teenager, and still do it!
With B7 I was almost hysterical because the series are not known nor available here. I was online all the time, especially the Hermit website...and it was also how I contacted lovely watervolle and she invited me here!!!:-)

Haha, yes, I was online like that too searching for fanfic and finding Hermit. Watervole was one of the first people I communicated with too, and she put me onto the old mailing lists where I met people who later lured me onto LJ. :-)

Make that four doctors - it's Tom Baker's birthday as well!

:-)

Yes, he's in my list. :-)

oh, so he is. I@ve seen this entry several times today and thought he wasn't. I'm tired and my disco-ordination is kicking in more than I thought.

love the Enterprise!

Isn't it wonderful! What with killer freight though, I'll hold off till they get the soft kitty back in stock.
