A Little Update and Shopping

Happy Friday friends,

Well last weekend Fangirl and I traveled out to Asheville. It was a day just to chill out after my doctors appointments. We partook of our usual Chinese food. After filling our bellies Fangirl decided to "get lost" being bored with our usual routine. We wound up in the River Arts District. I love seeing the art on the buildings, even the abandoned have an artistic vibe even if it's just graffiti

.
After our wandering and a wrong turn we ended up at the mall. We only visit generally two stores. Hot Topic and Boxlunch. That day we found a surprise at the Hot Topic, a lot of there Funko POPs were on sale for three dollars. Fangirl and I jumped at the chance to get at least one. I've purchased some as gifts for family and friends, but I never got one for me. I was hoping to find a Doctor Who one, no luck, but I did locate a Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That was my show back in high school just ask my friends. He's now guarding the nightstand.

We ended our day with some fun at some Goodwills and Dollar Tree.

So that's a little update not much but a little one. I hope your weekend's good, may you find adventure, and God bless you.

Doctor Who Episode "Spyfall"

Good Evening my friends,

Well the new series of Doctor Who has begun with the two part episode "Spyfall", so I thought I'd share my thoughts.

Spyfall Part One

A great series opener. A very Bondish spy vibe especially when she gives her name at the party. Isn't that like a throwback to the third Doctor. I seem to recall from the Doctors Revisted special back in 2013 that Doctor had gadgets and stuff or am I remembering wrong?

I love how the Doctor keeps her quirky style even when going black tie. She can rock a bow tie as well as Matt Smith. Check out this video for more on all of Team Tardis' black tie attire.

Nice to see the Doctor still has bike riding skills. I love when there's elements of the Doctor's that transpires across the regenerations.

Ok the part one twist really threw me. This makes twice this character has surprised me with a return. I though it be a while before we saw them again.

Spyfall Part Two

Doctor talking to the group via prerecorded message makes me think of "Blink" with hints of Doctor talking to River in that one ep through the screen and anticipating her what she was saying. I also get hints of "The Big Bang" episode.

This is a episode of computer girl power all across time. You know there is Ada Lovelace day? When the Doctor said she was the daughter of Lord Byron didn't realize it was the poet.

I can't believe what the Doctor has to go through now. After all the heartsache and thinking things were squared away with that certain problem, then this happens. I can't say more otherwise I'd spoil it, but when you see it you'll know what I mean.

Hope the rest of the series is just as great as these first eps. I hope you guys have a good week, have fun adventures, and God bless you.

What I'm Doing in 2020

Happy wet night my friends,

Well this week I'm just gonna take a page from Running in a Skirt and just mention what I've been up to lately.

Tube Tales

From Christmas to New Year's actually this morning too I was watching Doctor Who. New Years day I watched the Rose Parade for a bit and some Firefly and the new Doctor Who! I'll talk more new Who Monday after part two of the first episode airs.

Online I've been watching  Travis Willingham's Yeehaw Game Ranch. I needed a break from Critical Role and decided to try this show. It's hilarious I have to admit. Puppets bashing on Travis' sidekick Brian and also games it's a fun time.
I've also watched some of the cooking episode Christy Carson Ramano does on her channel. I love getting to see old favorites on the show.

Book Journeys

I've been working through the last book of Amanda Churi's The Twisted Trilogy. I'm interested in how this series ends. I usually don't like the epic fantasy format, but this is not been a bad one. The past two books I seem to start around Christmas time.

Video Games

I was playing some Neverwinter last month. So excited to see Minsc from Baulder's Gate in this game.  I had to start playing this cause D & D online won't work in my new PC for some reason.
Lately since Fangirl got me the Showtime expansion I've been playing Sims 3. I've mostly been playing an acrobat. I love doing the live gigs. I also love performing for tips, the juggling acts you can do. The particular Sim I did was made with a B*Witched vibe I guess you could say.

Jamming To

My sister Econut has started a new podcast called Trout's Skool of Life where she is gonna post a new positive lesson she learns each day. So go check her out, there's already some good stuff there.

Been listening to songs of my past on Spotify. They lift the spirit. Also been jamming to the mp3 player. Right now checking out Taylor Swift's Lover.

Munching
Still eating on the goodies from Christmas. I dread to see the scale at the Doctor's office. Momma cooks a lot for the holidays.

Holiday Haul
Some of the things I got included a couple seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Nail polish, a cute plush penguin, drawing pads and holo notebooks to fill with my scribblings.

So hope the weekend treats you good, live it too the most, and God bless.
