VIKINGS!

So, add the Up Helly Aa festival to the list of things I seriously want to attend and participate in at least once in my life. Vikings, giant bonfires? I’m in!

When I grow up…

I want to be as awesome as this lady. 107 years old, and she’s hitting on the President. ”I’d kiss ya every night.” I bet she would, too!

Awesome Octopus Video

…or most awesome octopus video EVER?

In which an octopus thieves a diver’s underwater camera, and then trades it for a spear gun.

“I honestly believe that it saw the bright blue digital camera and went ‘oh I need that’, you know?”

Angry Hedgehog of DOOM

I’m quite sure this is how Jasper sees himself… and that is why I will soon be the proud owner of this bitchin shirt from yesterday’s shirt.woot.com. Hedgehogs are awesome critters.

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!

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.

Why didn’t I think of this?
