Whoo, parade day! Perfect weather today. I wish I had a group shot of the Doctor Who cosplayers, but I didn't think to grab one. There were these cute kids (twin siblings) dressed up as Twelve and Thirteen. Oh my god, they had so many people taking their picture. The parents are big Whovians themselves and they've been dressing up their kids since ( Read more... )

The local comic book expo has been slow to announce guests, but the announcements seem to be picking up. And they had a good one today:

Catherine Tate is coming to the expo!!

Finally, I will have a signature on my Doctor Who 50th Anniversary calendar for October aka Ten's month. I wonder if this means they have other Doctor Who actors planned for ( Read more... )

- I get a lot of good books from my book club, but there aren't a lot of books I rave about. I recently finished The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers and it was so good. I had wanted to read this book for a while now and I finally had some time to get it out of the library. If you love Firefly and Mass Effect, this is a book ( Read more... )

Met the man himself today. God, he's amazing. I'm so glad he decided to do some cons before the end of his tenure. Apparently this was only his third con (I guess they don't count San Diego Comic Con or New York Comic Con since that's work related).

- Aw yeah. The Doctor Who Experience is offering TARDIS set tours for the summer. I did the tour last time when I was there in 2013, but hey, why not do it again. I'm going for my birthday, dang it! I'm going to treat myself. Maybe this time I'll remember to look at more of the details than just generally gawk at the whole set ( Read more... )

- I had some free time so I decided to watch the first episode of season three of Star Trek: the infamous "Spock's Brain". People always say it's the worst episode of TOS, but honestly, it wasn't that bad. Granted, I haven't seen every episode of the series yet, but when compared to what I've seen so far, I can say that there are worst episodes ( Read more... )

My god, it's only Friday and I'm already wiped. I'm getting old.

Can't believe that this is my tenth year attending the local comic book expo. I can still remember my first year. The whole thing took place in one large room and the panel area was a tiny space blocked off by black curtains. The expo has come so far since then ( Read more... )

- Three weeks out from the comic book expo and now is the time that I decide to start working on my cosplays? Okay, so it's not like I'm starting costumes from scratch with only 21 days to go, but you think I would have done this sooner. Good thing it's only minor additions to cosplays that are pretty much done anyway, but the pieces still need to ( Read more... )

- Ugh, spring. This is the worst time of year for my allergies. I can't stop sneezing. You'd think staying indoors would help, but nope. Time to crack open a box of antihistamines.

- I am so close to finishing my friend's Fourth Doctor scarf:
