It was the best day ever.

So lilyofshalott has been poking me to update for a long, long time, and I figure I really should. Especially as I'm afraid I'll be kicked out of some of my favorite communities, which I really don't want. The sad thing is that there's nothing going on in my life that anyone would want to read about. I finished co-op in March and am back in classes until

David Tennant in a tux jumping out of an exploding Mad Scientist lab? Hello.

So I kind of have a theory of who this mysterious Mr Saxon might be. Although this might be more of a "wishful thinking/that would be Awesome" kind of thing.

Yay, new fandoms! ^_^ Yeah, Erin said as much about Firefly/Serenity.

Oh, and do you have any suggestions for TARDIS yarn? This in Admiral looks like it might be perfect--if it's actually that colour "in person" so to say. I'm thinking if I can't find anything at the craft store here I might beg my parents to stop at A.C. Moore on the way home next Sunday (Already? GAH!).

Okay, so I've been spoiled (only partly on purpose) for who Mr. Saxon is. So I'm very curious what your theory involves.

That Bernat yarn looks pretty good. I actually have a confession. I was going to buy you TARDIS yarn and mail it with the DVDs, but when I went to my LYS, they didn't have the color I wanted... sorry. This yarn was the kind I was trying for, in color 517, or maybe 598. 133 was the best that I could find in person, and that is actually a really, really bright blue. I've never actually worked with this yarn, but I've seen samples knit up with it, and it's very soft. This online yarn store is my favorite, by the way, and having great sales right now.

And you only have a week left? Of your entire college career!?! *seethes*

[lowc]

And of course that seething was done in a totally congratulatory fashion. Umm... right.

I think it would be brilliant if he were the Master--my theory on the Face of Boe's message is that the Doctor's not the only Time Lord left. And my other "theory" (not much of one, more of an interesting thought) is that Dalek Khan is the one from Van Statten(sp?)'s museum.

(Really? Aww, thanks!) Ooh, those are pretty. It seems they're out of 517 on the site, though (598 looks promising as well). I think I'll check to see if they have this at the craft store--I'm a bit wary of buying yarn online if I don't know what it looks like/feels like in person (because colours are often not quite right). How long do things from this site usually take to ship?

(I may be going to grad school--just not right away). Technically, I'll be "done" earlier than that--the last day of finals is Tuesday.

So I just finished watching a lovely marathon of awesome sci-fi-ness: 5 episodes of Who ("School Reunion" to "Idiot's Lantern"--and introduced another friend to the Awesome that is DW) . . . and the first episode of Firefly! It's fantastic--or should I say shiny? Oh, and Kaylee is adorable. ^_^

[lowc]

A numbered list, because I'm to lazy to make properly constructed paragraphs:

1. Converting other people to DW, are you? I'm so proud!

2. Yay you're watching Firefly! I trust you watched the "real" pilot episode, not the one that FOX showed when it aired on TV. It just gets better from here. Man, I love this show so much, I need to watch it again. If only stupid school would give me some breathing room. And you see why I was so excited to meet Alan (Wash) and Nathan (Mal) last weekend.

3. Of course Kaylee is adorable, that's why I picked her for you in the character meme.

4. I think we've edged you into the full-blown Sci-Fi geek territory. Mwahaha. It's just a matter of time until you succumb to the Heroes push. I wonder if I could get you addicted to Battlestar Galactica too. Hmm.

5. Webs is really quite quick. I usually have orders from them in about a week. I can understand wanting to see the yarn in person, though. I've never been unpleasantly surprised with the colors I get from online orders, but they're definitely not

[lilyofshalott]

Hee, and I love when I write a long comment and then entirely forget to change my icon. ^_^ (Again, I think I need to do some spring cleaning with my icons.)

[lilyofshalott]

And once again I hijack your comments. Hee. We seriously need to have an IM conversation one of these days--do you still not have Internet access in your dorm/flat?

Anyway, what are your opinions on Caron SimplySoft? I picked some up in Country Blue and Dark Country Blue, promptly thought they didn't work for a TARDIS when I got home, and haven't gotten around to returning them yet. Now that I look at it, though, the Dark Country Blue looks like it might work. It's not quite as dark as it is in the Jo-Ann's picture, but it is more of a navy than a cobalt.

I'm awaiting my stitch theory--it's not too difficult, is it?

[lilyofshalott]

THANK YOU!!!!1eleventy! ::squees excessively::

[lowc]

Hee! I take it your package must have come. I was starting to get worried that you wouldn't get it before you headed home.

Just to let you know: LoM, RH, the Austens, and various other odds and ends have to be played on a computer, but all the HH movies should be watchable in any DVD player. Hope you enjoy!

[lilyofshalott]

It did! And then there was much rejoicing. ^_^ I've been telling Erin about MP, so we might be watching that tonight. (Oh, and check my userinfo if you're distressed about a certain Comm Which Shall Not Be Named.)

Not to sound needy, but stitch theory? ::uses icon of Adorable to be more convincing:: Also, I asked this in my earlier flood of comments so you may have missed it, but do you think SimplySoft would work well for a cuddly!TARDIS? I have a link to its page on Jo-Ann somewhere up there so you can see the colours (I have both Dark and regular Country Blue).

Thanks again! You win. =D
