I haven’t seen Alice in Wonderland yet, but honestly, I’d rather see this:
Gallifrey 21!
Here are some photos from last weekend’s Gallifrey 21 convention, held at the beautiful LAX Marriott, oooh. Actually it was a lot of fun. I was exhausted for most of the con, and I only made it to one and a half panels (seriously, how pathetic is that), but got to meet lots of lovely people during lobbycon, which is really what it’s all about!
There was…
Katy Manning, who is just about the sweetest, most blitz woman I’ve ever met. We’ve sworn to get into lots of trouble next time we meet up. <3
The incredible Mr. Tony Lee, who skipped across the room to meet me, but was otherwise well-behaved as he is now in pre-marriage mode. Yay Tony!
Nick Briggs, who I met at TARDIS, but never actually got to have a conversation with, and as always, Rob Shearman, who has become quite a good friend.
This was the first, and almost definitely the last masquerade I’ve entered, it was a fairly harrowing experience for little to no reward, but hey… I went as the Second Doctor, as a 20’s Flapper, and nobody recognized me, hooray!
Finally, I want to alert you all to a new tradition — the Saturday Night TARDIS PJ party! Whoo hoo! Wear your jammies like it’s 1999! Or something. Yanno.
Bored?
This is the sort of thing I wish I’d thought of when stuck in airports on long, lonely nights past… Next time you’re stranded, make the best of it!
Oooh!
If you like old-school animation and cartoons, including some excellent vintage pinups from Esquire like the one above, go check out the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive — their collection is great!
Banksy VS King Robbo
…and so the battle continues between Banksy and King Robbo.
I first found out about Banksy when his work was used for the cover of Adbusters, which I stopped buying years ago when the irony of buying an anti-consumer magazine finally got under my skin, but I’ve been a fan of his since. Really I know nothing about street art, but I enjoy the style.
I’m finding this rather fascinating.
Innit kyoot?
…no matter how much you hate Valentines Day, I bet you still smiled when you saw this little guy, huh? I know I did. I mean, it’s a puppy with a heart-shaped spot, how is that not completely and totally, borderline illegally squee-able? Yup. Thought so.
I’m a romantic, at heart.
While the rest of the world is celebrating love and casual sex, it’s important for single people like myself to remember Captain Cook, who was was killed and ritualistically eaten by Hawaiians on the 14th of February, 1779. Romantic, huh?
