His name is Boreallus. I'm going to call him Aurora, and he will stick out his tongue at me. *grin*

Yes, yes, yes. Mulefas. I was reading something-- I think it was Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything-- talking about evolution and wheels and it mentioned them and I was like WHEEE! But yes. The reason I ask is that "Doomsday" ends almost exactly the same way as The Amber Spyglass does-- with the Doctor and his companion trapped in parallel universes. And it has Dust! Only they call it Void Stuff, and the Doctor sees it with 3-D glasses instead of an amber spyglass. And I bawl like a baby every time I read/see either.

True story: I actually haven't read anything else of Pullman's. And I meant to read the Sally Lockhart books, because Billie Piper, the actress who plays the Doctor's companion, Rose, in "Doomsday," is playing Sally Lockhart, but the first one was checked out of the library and I haven't made the time to go back and find it, and I have so much other stuff to read, and wow, longest sentence EVER.
