When a Geek is Bored

Hi guys! Happy December...22 days till Christmas. I will probably post like 10,000 times this week...there are so many things I want to write about on here.

Like I said in my last post, I am the oldest of all my cousins. They basically hang out with my younger sisters, so I am really left by myself. The result? This.

 

 

I present: the etch-a-sketch tardis. I got skills with the etch-a-sketch...not really. Do people even use these things any more?

 

Anyway, I'll probably post several times today, but this is all for now. To schoolwork! Yay.



The Moment Came

So guys. DOCTOR WHO!

Before I get into the 50th Anniversary special in detail, fangirl rant time.

Oh my gosh David Tennant! It was awesome to see him back. John Hurt was awesome! Gallifrey was spectacular. Rose...wow. ALL THIRTEEN! What was that about?? (Besides Capaldi's eyeballs). WAIT does that mean he is the last Doctor. NO.

That being said, now into details.

That episode opens up with Clara and the 11th (now 12th or 13th?) starts out amazing and ends 10 times more amazing. John Hurt plays the War Doctor, which the Doctor comes to terms with at the end of the movie. Gallifrey is saved and the whole basis of the show was altered as well. No more Time War.

My favorite scene was the "all thirteen". That was just brilliant. All the Tardis's (?) all the Doctors, saving Gallifrey. It was epic. But it confused me. Remember the 12 regeneration rule? What happens now? Is Capaldi the 13th doctor or the 14th, and will Doctor Who continue?

Billie Piper's role also confused me alot. But I thought that the whole "moment" thing was really cool.

But it broke my heart at Tennant's last scene in the movie. He said...you guessed it. "I don't wanna go." I swear I think all the Whovians in the theatre had thier hearts break.

My conclusion is: The special was brilliant, but it left me with even more questions than I had before the movie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Into Hibernation

I am going to watch the Day of the Doctor in the theatres on Monday and not on Saturday when it actually airs, (I don't have BBC, and I am NOT driving to Philidelphia do see the simulcast) I am at risk of spoilers (!) for two whole days.

So I will not post anymore after this until Tuesday due to this fact. I am staying offline until 10:00 pm on Monday. That means no Facebook, Pinterest, DeviantART, Blogger, and maybe even my email...

There you have it. Farewell Internet.

So...

Allons-y!

All Hail the Tardis

Drum roll please! I finished it. My Tardis is complete and done in time for the 50th anniversary.

So in case anyone cares, I made this out of white Sculpey clay and painted it with Reeves acrylic. (That came in a set I got for Christmas about five years ago) I then gave it several layers of Scupley glaze to give it that shine and prevent the paint from chipping and sticking to me.

 Down here is a comparison of the new one on the right and an old one I did in an art class last year. Pretty bad, huh? The new one is so much better. I had just started watching Who when I made the first one so I hadn't had much time to study the Tardis haha. See what watching all the series gives you? A perfect Tardis. Not. But anyway I think the new one has more detail. Took me stinking forever to paint police box on the new one. But it is accurate! I realized that when I painted the first one I made the Police Box words in black on white instead of in white on black. I was such a new Whovian. :D  Anyway that's all for now. :)

Who in a Weekend and a Nerd Girl Problem

I'm super excited for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary! Like probably every other Whovian, I have bought my tickets to see the Day of the Doctor in the theatre near my house on the 25th. (I love the Doctor, but driving down to Philidelphia on the 23rd for the simulcast was a little much for a 17 year old who can't drive). But now I had a problem. Who was I going with?

Where I live and in my church, I am one of the only two girls who like DW. The other girl is a little too ridiculous for me to enjoy watching it with. And I was NOT going to wait to get a group together at my church to make plans. The tickets would be sold out and that would take forever.

After some consideration, I decided to take along my "adopted" father from church. However, he had absolutely no backround information on the Doctor...he called him Doctor Who. (horrible, right?) I then spent all day Saturday and part of Sunday afternoon watching Doctor Who episodes. Let me tell you, it is really hard to pick episodes to watch to introduce the doctor. Really hard. We ended up starting with Bad Wolf and the Parting of the Ways. Bad choice. It was really hard to explain Bad Wolf and regeneration, but I felt that it was necessary. We watched Midnight as well. I forgot how tense that episode was, but it was really a characteristic episode of the show.

We watched some others and ended with Nightmare in Silver. Not really the best of the cybermen, but I liked the episode. All I have to watch to be caught up now is the Name of the Doctor. I think I confused my friends but it was fun. Nothing better than spending the weekend watching Who! :)

T.A.R.D.I.S. In Progress

It's getting closer to the special day! I wanted to share the Sculpey Tardis I'm making for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary. Hopefully I'll wear it if it comes out well. It is currently drying after a clear coat. (You wouldn't believe how many coats such a little thing would need). I'll post a final picture when it's done.
