the one where i turn 31

Yesterday was my 31st birthday. 

And despite the fact that I had to work, 

it was pretty fantastic. 

Bday presents from awesome friends

I was in a meeting all day. (blah) 

But I did get to leave right when the meeting was over. 

Yay for getting off 2 hours early. 

D took me to the movies after work. 

We saw Ant Man. 

It was not as good as the other Marvel movies, 

but still fun. 

After the movie, 

we had ice cream. 

Because on you birthday you get to eat dessert first. 

It's in the rule book! 

Then we ate mexican food for supper. 

So, pretty much the perfect night out. 

movie + ice cream + spicy stuff = perfection  

I had to be at work today, 

so we made it an early night in. 

But today is my Friday! 

I do not have to be back at work until next Tuesday. 

D got me a Dancing Groot to add to my office collection. 

This Saturday I will be having the "official" birthday dinner, 

with an ice cream cake, of course. 

Follow me on Instagram for all of the birthday adventures. 

Now let's get this work day over with! 

the dark world

Can I just say ... 

I love Marvel movies?!

D and I went to the movies last night and saw 

Thor: The Dark World. 

In short, it was simply amazing!

I liked this one much more 

than the first Thor movie; 

and I really like the first one. 

But in this one, 

we did not have to wade through 

all of the set up and world-building stuff. 

I also loved the stuff between Thor and Loki. 

Can Tom Hiddleston be in all the movies? 

Pretty please! 

And Darcy is still my favorite bit of comic relief. 

Oh yeah, let's not forget ... 

Christopher Eccleston. 

Perfect casting as the Dark Elf.   

Have you seen the movie yet? 

If so, what was your favorite part? 

Day 30 - When Did You Become A Fan of Doctor Who?

It is the last day of 
March Who Madness! 
I have had a lot of fun blogging about 
Doctor Who. 
Can you believe I actually blogged 
every day for a whole month?!
Yeah, neither can I. 

I started seriously watching Doctor Who
in 2006 when the Syfy channel
started airing the "new" Who episodes.
I had seen some of the classic Who episodes on Syfy as well.
But I did not become a proper Whovian
until the new episodes.
Syfy actually aired the episodes
well after they were shown in Britain.
For example, they did not start showing
Season 1 (Eccleston's) episodes until 2006
and they originally aired in 2005 in Britain.
This is probably bad to admit;
but when I found that out,
I would watch the newer episodes
(that were available)
on YouTube as they would come out in Britain. 
Then I would buy the seasons on DVD as soon
as they were available in America.
I am so glad that BBC America now shows
the new episodes concurrently with the
British airings.

Day 29 - Favorite Guest Star

I absolutely loved
Sophia Myles as Madame de Pompadour.
The Girl in the Fireplace 
is one of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who.
It was such a complete story that
left me wanting more.

Day 27 - Favorite Interview

This is not really an interview
but an episode of a British chat show.
Never Mind the Buzzcocks had a Doctor Who
special hosted by David Tennant
and Catherine Tate & Bernard Cribbins
were guests.
Of course, hilarity ensued!

Day 26 - Favorite Doctor Gadget

Of course, it is the sonic screwdriver.
It seems like it gains
new abilities almost every episode.
But that is part of its charm!

Day 22 - Favorite Friendship

Surprise, Surprise!
My favorite friendship is between
the Doctor & Donna.
They were the best of friends
and had grand adventures.
I also love the fact that David & Catherine
have become great friends in real life.
Well, based on interviews and the fact that
they have worked together many times
since Who.

Day 21- Favorite Couple

Amy & Rory
have the greatest love story on Doctor Who! 
I love that their relationship 
was not perfect. 
But, no matter what, they were 
always there for each other. 
*sigh* 
I need to find me a Rory!
