Doctor Who… the hell cares?
(title taken from a MST3k riff and totally not meant to be dismissive.) I’m disenchanted with Doctor Who. When I first started watching, Series 5 with Matt Smith had JUST started. It took us a while to catch up to Series 5, but when we got there I was all excited by the prospect of a new doctor, a new…

Windburn
I had a nice holiday weekend. Thanksgiving itself was kinda crazy – we had TWO Thanksgiving lunches to go to that day, one at 11 and one at 1. So much foooood. Friday Luna went to the vet and got fixed! While waiting to pick her up, we went to see Big Hero 6 which was cute. I especially liked…

Things I don’t understand
In today’s issue of things I don’t understand… Who decided that radio station DJs should spend morning rush hour talking, calling people and sharing their inane opinions? Just play some damn music and keep your thoughts about the latest internet memes or “goofy news” to yourself.

Flickr Thoughts
So, the past couple of months, I’ve been trying to clean up my flickr account. Retagging, resorting, etc. I’ve gotten to where I really hate flickr, and I’d totally move to some other site if it didn’t mean basically killing most of the photos on my website for several months time. It’s not even the annoying yahoo! redesigns I hate,…

wah
I had a teacher back in high school who never really cared for me. I was a lazy student and not very good at his subject (Spanish), so I didn’t mind the disdain – it was, at that point, pretty well-deserved. However, my senior year, he decided our Spanish class should attend this Spanish Fair. It was like a regional…

The Case of the Missing Lip Stain
So last summer, I got some of Revlon’s “Just Bitten” lipstain. The commercials claimed it to be “long lasting” which is something I need when wearing costumes all day long. I LOVED it! I liked it for wearing outside of costumes, too! For costumes, it was easier to put on than regular lipstick for me (I think because it’s like…

On talking smack
If you’re going to talk smack about someone’s costume, you need to at least be familiar with the thing you’re talking smack about. I made a Sana Kurata costume back in the day, based on the anime/manga “Kodocha.” It’s never been ALL that well-known here, but I very much enjoyed it, had fansubs of the later seasons that were never…

The Saga of the Running Shorts
So I recently started Couch to 5K and, as the weather quickly got warmer, I went pull out some of my exercise shorts to wear instead of the track pants I’d been wearing. Turns out none of the shorts I have have pockets! Totally not useful since I need to be able to carry my keys, phone, etc. So off…

Random musings
Why is Star Wars costuming so over-sexualized? I’ve noticed it for a while, but tumblr really brought it to my attention recently. So over there on tumblr, I have a handful of tracked tags. I don’t look at them all that often, just if I’m really super bored, usually. Some of the ones I have are: “doctor who cosplay” “lord…

The saga of my sunglasses
So I am really bad about sunglasses. I’ve never been into them that much – I’ll occasionally buy a pair, and then either decide I look silly in them and never wear them, or forget them, or lose them immediately. Never really mattered since I don’t care about sunglasses anyway. Well one day while swimming at my aunt’s pool, it…

story of my life
My (old) job, for a long time now, was like reliving the beginning of Rumplestiltskin over and over again. I’ve felt like the miller’s daughter, being locked in a room with piles and piles of straw and told to turn it into gold. And everyday, by hook or by crook, I managed to get it done. I went home tired,…

see-saw
When I was a kid, probably 6 or 7 years old, I had this giant metal see-saw. I mean when I was a kid it looked huge, it had these big handlebars on the sides that probably came up to around my waist if I were standing next to it. At some point I got it in my head that…

Voices Carry
I loved the song “Voices Carry” by Til Tuesday when I was a kid. For YEARS I thought they were saying, “Hush, hush, keep it down now, this is Carrie.” It wasn’t til I was in my teens that I realised it was “voices carry.” DUH. And when “Livin La Vida Loca” came out, the line “Lips are devil red”…

sicky
Well, we don’t know if maybe Chase had food poisoning or a virus and I caught it, because yesterday morning I got sick. I tried to go on into work, but after an hour of sheer exhaustion, fever and nausea I realised it was futile and went home. I couldn’t even walk from the living room to the bathroom without…

Hair part 2
I didn’t think my hair was that much longer, but when I compare it to 2011, yeah, my hair practically looks shoulder length in 2011 pics. Which means it only took me 4 years to get over the hair chop of 2009 😛 Boy did I regret that hair cut.

a hulk skateboard?
I cleaned out my bag this morning in preparation to switch to my TARDIS purse for Chicago next weekend. This isn’t the weirdest haul I’ve ever seen but I thought I’d take a pic: Wallet Bp gift card a ton of receipts (already thrown away before the picture) a business card from Greyhound Adoptions camera charger chapstick 4 (!) medication…

Life update
Well I figured I’d write some about stuff that’s been going on lately. I’ve been trying to sew some stuff for my etsy store but haven’t had a ton of time; after getting back from Disney Indy got really sick. It was back and forth from the vet to the animal hospital to the vet – they finally diagnosed her…
