Waiting for Season #7

Season 6 is done.  Now I'm waiting with the rest of the Whovian Universe for season 7 to start.  So I've come up with a list of things I can do to occupy my time while I wait.

1. Re-watch all of Nine's episodes and count up all the times he says "Fantastic"
2. Re-watch all of Ten's episodes and count up all the times he says "Well"
3. Re-watch all of Eleven's episodes and count up all the times he says "Cool"

Ha! Re-watching ROCKS!

The Doctor is almost (back) in!

     Is anyone else as excited as I am about the imminent return of Doctor Who?!  I fit the bill of the pathetically late-to-the-party Whovian, but I'm okay with that title.  Here's how it started... I'm a huge fan of Pinterest (it's kind of embarrassing actually - check it out if you don't believe me: http://pinterest.com/cherigroves/) and a few weeks ago (has it really been just weeks?!) I finally bit the bullet and pulled up the first episode of the 9th Doctor's season.
     Doctor Who has a HUGE following on Pinterest and all my favorite Geeky boards were harboring him.  What can I say? Resistance was futile.  ANYWAY, I pulled it up on Netflix and the rest as they say is history.  I've been through five and 1/2 seasons in four weeks and I've brought my kids along for the ride.  Although... if I'm honest it's more like I've tied them up and thrown them in the trunk of this ride - eh.  I know they'll love me for it eventually.  
     The seventh season is nearly upon us which is exciting and terrible.  Exciting because I cannot wait! I'm almost finished with the first six seasons and just in time! Terrible because now that I'm just about caught up I'll have to be like normal people and get my episodes once a week!  OH THE HORROR!  Although... REWATCHING all the episodes and soaking it all up again could be fun...
     Hmmm, I wonder if the kids will come along for THAT ride too?  I'd better get some more rope.

The Master's call...

Okay this one blew my mind.  BLEW. MY. MIND.

Doctor Withdrawal II

Decided to make this an image - because let's face it... It's brilliant.

Doctor Withdrawl

It's another night.  Another night of staying up too late.  Another night of watching too much Doctor Who.  Every night it's the same.  I watch till it's much too late then I crawl into bed - only to find I can't close my eyes because my mind won't stop moving.  If this is a sad strange existence I lead, then just let me go.  Let me keep chattering on like a mad man... A mad man with a box.

Doctor Heartbreak

I get it the Doctor is eternal.  I get it there are bigger stories than the Doctor and Rose but for cripes' sakes I know I'm not the only one who just didn't believe she was okay with it.
It's like a sour taste in my mouth.

Doctor Who Drive By

Bonus post today. I'm bored and not ready to work. Anyone else?

So Many Doctors

One of the terrible things I've noticed in the past week (has it really only been a week since I started watching Doctor Who?) is that I have a job.  Well I mean I know I have a job, I've had one for quite some time, but dammit my job has never interfered quite so completely with my deepest desires before.  Of course my deepest desires at the moment have everything to do with watching every single Doctor Who episode/special in existence.  Why can't I get paid for being the geek I really am?  Is there a job out there like that? Come on!

I think I like this one because the sentence sounds wrong, but it's just right.

Must share our "awesome"!

I'm lucky enough to work with some really awesome women.  They help me get through days that would make a normal person contemplate suicide.  I realized the other day that we are in fact so awesome that we need our own book, or TV show, or someone needs to get with it and discover us already! There is too much awesomeness contained in us to go unshared with the rest of the world!

Oh Doctor

This weekend I had a Dr. Who marathon with the kids.  We got through two seasons starting with the 9th Dr. Can't wait to keep going! I've created monsters - and life long fans.  I'm sure this gets me parenting awards of some kind.

Where have you been all my life Dr?

I'm ashamed to admit I just started watching Dr. Who.  I will never be the same.

Finale Depression

This just about sums up everything I watch.
Castle, Legend of Korra, Game of Thrones... I can just keep going.

Just not feeling it

Today is just sucking.  Not really feeling up to finishing today.  Not sure about the rest of the week either. In fact I probably won't be feeling it for the rest of the year.  Can I just take a year off?

Kyoshi

I love Avatar the Last Airbender & The Legend of Korra, but I've never tried my hand at drawing anything from that world.  Here's Kyoshi in pen... I think I sense a whole Avatar series coming!

Galadriel

Been getting into the drawing thing again.  :-)  I've missed it.  I did this pencil drawing a few years ago.  Not too bad.

Dieting?

While discussing the trials and tribulations of dieting today I finally discovered the reason I'm stuck in diet hell.

Positive attitude

How is it that when we are in the middle of a wonderful mood we swear "I will never forget what this feels like"?  Yet we always find ourselves a bit...

Bucket List #342 is now almost crossed off the list! I'm going to NY COMIC CON!!! I cannot wait and I'm already so excited and happy that I've done this for myself I think I could squeal! Embarassing? Perhaps but this is a life long dream about to be realised.  And I know that once I go I'll never be the same! :-)

Please remake The Last Airbender!

Was anyone else as frustrated by this as I was?  I seriously LOVE this series and the movie was really terrible.  I don't usually say that either.  Usually I can separate movies from their inspiration - but it was just plain TERRIBLE. :-(

Found this in a random notebook at home.  None of the kids are fessing up but it's still freaking hysterical.

Feeling brokenhearted tonight.  Life is full of mysteries, of things that don't seem fair.  I don't know how or why, but this came to me.
"Mere mortals we, ships on the vast turbulent sea; some lost in the depths or against harsh stones - yet still we sail, sail, sail for home."
Who is saying it I don't know.
But I think it's fitting somehow.
Hold your loved ones close.  Kiss your children.  Say prayers for those who have not, and thank whatever God you worship for all that you have.
It's been a while, but tonight I will do the same.
