In the Mailbox and on the Plate

I was so happy yesterday that my copy of Josh Groban's newest CD came yesterday. I hugged the mail out by the mailbox.

I didn't listen to 'All That Echoes' though because I had things I needed to do. Like finish my laundry  eat dinner, and go to FHE. But I plan on listening to it in a few minutes.

At FHE we decorated plates (or mugs or bowls) with Sharpie markers. I chose a quote from Doctor Who that I think is funny. It makes me laugh every time I hear it. And I really like how it turned out. We baked (and cooled) the dishware after decorating to set the color. But I plan on using it as decoration more then anything.

"Hermits United.
We meet up every ten years.
Swap stories about caves.
It's good fun, for a hermit."

Christmas Presents 2012

Our stocking gifts are actually bags. So I got nail polish (see next paragraph), an Aston Martin hot wheels car, a Million Dollar chocolate bar, popcorn, licorice, fruit snack, socks, head light, flashlight, a puzzle, toothbrush and paste, mouthwash, cool hair spin pins, nail clippers, and a bunch of candy.

Three nail polishes from the O.P.I. James Bond Collection. A gorgeous red ('Skyfall'), a royal blue ('Tomorrow Never Dies'), and awesome orange ('Die Another Day'). One of them was hiding in my plethora of candy so I didn't find it until Mom wondered why I was just favoring the two colors. lol. It was funny. I LOVE the 'Skyfall' color. It is even prettier in person.

I asked for solid long-sleeve shirts so I got several of those. I got two dresses. One summery lace dress and the other a sweater dress. (Those two dresses I think might be returned. They're short.)

Mom and Dad gave everyone a car emergency kit to put in their car. It's really cool. The bag has velcro on it so it sticks to the carpet in the trunk. It's genius I tell you. It comes with 79 different things. And the bag has a nifty pocket that comes out so I'm going to stick a blanket and some water bottles there. I'll probably use my brown fleece blanket for now because it's small and comes with a strap to keep it rolled up.

This year we drew names for our sibling gifts. Steven had me. He gave me not one tv series that I asked for but two! I got Numb3rs season 6 and Doctor Who season 6. It's awesome. DW is a used copy so the box is a little battered. But the disks look brand new. And when it's inside of it's outer case you can't tell at all that anything is wrong with it. I will be attempting to fix the case in the next few days. Maybe I can seal the cracks or something.

Grandparent's Hall (Mom's parents) give us money every year so with that money I'll be renewing my 'Friends Of Josh Groban' membership and buying 'All That Echoes'. I think with the left over money I'll buy some fabric.

I got myself a quilt book. Modern Minimal: 20 Bold and Graphic Quilts by Alissa Haight Carlton. I love this book. The quilts are so gorgeous. There are about half a dozen that I will make most definitely. I also got myself a Zig-Zag quilt pattern by Empty Bobbin Sewing Studios. I really like this quilt. It is so cute.

Bigger In My Head

All day today I have been gathering ideas via Pinterest for my "Alice In Wonderland" themed wedding. lol. I'm not engaged. I don't even have a boyfriend right now. But, hey, a girl can dream. lol. I added a TON of pictures to my "Alice" board. It is making me excited to plan my wedding for real.

Today I also wrapped all but one of my Christmas gifts. It's nice to have them all done. Now I just need to figure out what I'm getting my brother and buy it. I have nine days to do it. No pressure. lol. I like the theme I have this year for my wrapping. I am using red paper, green striped twine, and silver stamped names. It's simple and makes me smile when I see them sitting under the tree.

Yes, I got myself a present.

For FHE this past week we decorated Graham cracker houses. I decided to make a TARDIS from 'Doctor Who'. I dyed some frosting blue and "painted" the sides of my house. I decorated it with York candy pieces. I think it's kind of funny that my blue turned out to be a Tiffany blue. lol. I would have made it darker but I only had a pastel-type blue. It's unique and I like it.

For the past few weeks I have wanted to put my DVD collection in boxes on my bookshelf. I have covered my books white and the DVD are distracting. lol. So I thought I could put them in a shoe box and cover it. DVD don't fit in shoe boxes. So I turned to Pinterest for some ideas. I found this idea where they made there own boxes. Heck, I can do that. So, with permission, I took some cardboard boxes home from the plethora at work. This next week I will cut into them and create the perfect sized boxes. I'll cover them with either white or black paper. I think I'll even label the boxes a bit so I know what DVDs are inside. The labels are mostly for my tv seasons (Doctor Who, NCIS, Numbers...) and the other misc movies can be in an unlabeled box. Maybe.

Oh my gosh!!! I haven't told you about the most awesome news I have heard in the past couple of months. Josh Groban announced his new CD!!!! Eep!!! It's called 'All That Echoes' and it will be released February 5, 2013. I love the album cover and I can not wait to see more photos from the photo-shoot  And to hear the album, of course.

Saturday Songs: E.T.

E.T.
by Katy Perry feat. Kanye West

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?

Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing

They say, be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you

You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light

Kiss me, kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers
Stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic

You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light

Kiss me, kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

This is transcendental
On another level
Boy, you're my lucky star

I wanna walk on your wave length
And be there when you vibrate
For you I'll risk it all
All

Kiss me, kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

This song is so cool. I really like it. I don't like many of Katy's music. But I love this song. lol. I read somewhere once that if you don't think of the Doctor when listening to this song you're doing it wrong. It made me laugh because I do. Gotta love me a timelord.

The music video is interesting.



and the lyrics video with just Katy singing...
 

The Past Few Days

Wednesday ... Not much happened. I looked for jobs like I do all the time. I decided to make a hollow book so I started that. And last night some friends came over and we watched 'Pride and Prejudice'. It was the version with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. I love that version. I need to buy it some time.

Thursday ... aka: yesterday ...

I finished watching season two of 'Stargate SG-1' in the morning. And I also watched the second part of the story in episode one of the third season.

I started cutting out the pages in the hollow book. I needed to find a newly bladed knife first though. But I know where Dad keeps them in the garage so that was easy. Although I didn't find any fresh blades with those x-acto knives. I know he has some somewhere. I should buy some replacement blades for my own knife.

Over at Spoonflower they were having their free swatch day. (Free shipping too.) So I tried to think if I wanted to order a custom design of my own or one of the fabrics I have been wanting. I ended up going with this lovely Gallifrey-esque fabric. I think this fabric might go on the back of my TARDIS quilt, when I ever make that. I have also thought it would be fun fabric for a tote bag. (Like this one here. Gallifrey fabric would be the lining and bottom. And solid blue for the "main" part of the bag.)

Friday ... aka: today ...

I was going to watch Laura's baby, Joshua, all day today. But Laura got "sick" and so she didn't go into work. I still went over for most of the day but not until around 11am. (lol. I realize that makes it sounds like Laura just took a day off. But she didn't. She has a kidney stone that kept her up all night.) We watched 'Bones' throughout the day and that was fun. I haven't hung out with Laura for a long time. It was fun.

I brought along that hollow book I've been working on. It's closer to being done. I finished cutting through all the pages. I actually didn't realize I was to the end and cut a little bit into the back cover. But I'll just glue it back together and it will be just fine. Really, it will.

I'm really tired right now. It's after 11pm and my brain isn't functioning and I'm falling asleep. I guess I should go to bed. :)

Random Things

Some cool and random things I found today ...

• Doctor Who randomness
• a random funny gif

... and ...

a lovely drawing of Severus Snape that tugs at the heartstrings. (found here)

He is looking into the Mirror of Erised and he sees Lilly. So sweet and sad. He is the bravest man in the whole series. *wipes away tear* He is also my favorite next to Lupin.

... and ...

an AWESOME drawing of Harry Potter as an anime. I love everything about it. (found here)

I can name everyone but one person. :) The only one I can't name is below the Weasley family, next to Professor Minerva McGonagall. The witch/wizard in purple. I'm not sure who that is supposed to be.

RAW ...

... Random Acts of Weirdness ... also known as the random things I found on the internet today that made me smile.

Go here and it will be fun. :) (Indulging in geekiness is always fun.)

How about a funny line in Harry Potter 7.2? lol.

Nearly all of the fan-girl bullet points that are here I agree with. Some of them I laughed so hard at. A few of my favorites:

• Here. (guilty) because of a few wonderful actors. at the moment it's his fault.
• Here. I would go anywhere with him.
• Here. I totally did. It really helps when I want to change something minor on blogger. lol.
• Here. (guilty again) I have even scored tickets to pre-showings of movies a couple of times.
• Here. I am part of the Potter Generation. :)
• Here. and Here. I love Doctor Who. To bad hardly anyone here knows about it. Although ComicCon (another geeky thing on the list) has had some wonderful DW panels and it always brings the Whovians out of the woodwork. :)
• Here. Totally true. Can't be a SciFi fan without seeing the start of it all. :)
• Here. and Here. There is a reason why Barnes and Noble is my favorite store in the world.
