Gallifrey One 2018

It’s that time of year again!

After taking 2017 off, I am returning for my 6th Gallifrey One! Huzzah! 😉

I’ll be meeting up with most of Team Wine Lords from Austin (Laura, Eric, and Mark), and it’ll be good to see other friends I haven’t seen in almost 2yrs! I can’t wait to see everyone 😊

Relaxation, family, friends, and geekery…….stay tuned. The adventure begins Tuesday!

Why I’ve smiled lately…

5 Jul

I can’t put EVERYTHING in this list that has made me smile (keeping it PG lol), but here’s a small sample from the last month and a half (sorry it’s been so long!):

It’s two of my favorite animals in one photo! I need more cute photos like this 🙂

Spent Comicpalooza with two awesome friends. Shout outs to Molly and Mark! It was definitely an interesting blast, because FOUR DOCTORS! 😉

Speaking of Doctors……..

I was able to mark another Doctor off my list: the Fifth Doctor! He may not be my favorite Doctor, but I have found I absolutely adore Peter Davison ❤ Plus come on, this photo is awesome (mainly because we were all laughing as my wig had attacked his face at first)

Gotta love us Shafer gals 😉 Family embraces your weirdness (only because they are just as weird!)

Helped End Alzheimer’s on The Longest Day this year with my loves, Team Wine Lords. Always have a blast with these people.

And most recently, spent a long weekend with my parents celebrating their 35th Anniversary ❤

Love you Moeder, love you Dad!

So behind…

20 Apr

I know, I know….I’m way behind on the Doctor Who April Challenge. I swear I’ll catch up tonight after everyone is in bed.

Meanwhile, I finally got to play Doctor Who:2048 and I can say that I am glad I don’t have a computer at home 🙂

I decided to stop at this point, because Nine and Sixey. My two faves ❤

Other than that, Happy Easter, Happy 4/20, Happy Passover, Happy Sunday….whatever floats your boat.

#TheFavoritesofDoctorWho April Photo Challenge – Day 11

11 Apr

Favorite “Behind The Scene” Photo

The Ninth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, is my Doctor and I love seeing photos of happy times on the set. I wish he would’ve enjoyed the working environment enough to stay a few more seasons, but I’m happy with what I’ve got and these behind-the-scene gems are fantastic <3.

Have a great Friday y’all!

#TheFavoritesofDoctorWho April Photo Challenge – Day 3

3 Apr

Favorite “Behind the Sofa” Moment

I have three favorite “behind the sofa” moments. They aren’t necessarily scary moments, but they did send a shiver down my spine.

The first comes from the Series One episode “The Doctor Dances”: “Are you my mummy?”

Specifically when the tape ran out 30 seconds prior shiver

The second is from the Series Four episode “Midnight”: “Oh look at that, I’m ahead of you.”

The mimicking alone was bad, but when it started talking BEFORE the Doctor…..FREAKY!!!! >_<

And let’s not forget the terrified look on the Doctor’s face as he orders his own murder.

The third was my first taste of Classic Who Cybermen, in the Season Five episode: “The Tomb of the Cybermen”: “You shall be like us.”

These are the scariest Cybermen IMO, because they still have mostly human characteristics. That on its own seals the deal for me.

So that’s Day 3. Hope you enjoyed my favorite “behind the sofa” moments!

Have a great day, lovelies!

#TheFavoritesofDoctorWho April Photo Challenge – Day 2

2 Apr

Favorite Historical Person

Today’s photo challenge was a no-brainer for me: Vincent van Gogh (Series 5’s Vincent and the Doctor). Tony Curran did a beautiful job portraying him. I could wax eloquent on his performance (and about Tony himself), but honestly you should just watch the episode. The episode is wonderfully written, especially surrounding his mental health.

Here’s a clip from the museum scene. The quality isn’t the greatest, but I love this scene!

Hope y’all enjoyed my Day 2 of this month’s photo challenge 🙂

#TheFavoritesofDoctorWho April Photo Challenge – Day 1

1 Apr

Favorite Opening Titles

2005. The year Doctor Who was rebooted, and the year I became a fan. The theme song, that beat-up coral interior TARDIS….I loved it all! On top of that, the Ninth Doctor is MY Doctor, and Rose Tyler is one of my top 5 companions.

Series One will always hold a special place in my heart.

God I miss it ;(
