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…

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…

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

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

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

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

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 ;(
