SLUMBER PARTY


Close the door, close the blinds, turn off the lights, watch six hours of Doctor Who, then play video games. Separately. According to fantabulous (fuck you, spell check, that's totally a word) best friend, Rainbow Condor, this, honey, is how we socialize.

We party hard on Saturday nights. When I'm not trying to explain to my roommate via text that you can't play DVD's in the Wii and to use the DVD player built into the TV. (Roommate r u drunk.)

With that, let's move on to the next installment of...

ADVENTURES IN THE TIME VORTEX
(sparkle sparkle)

Today we officially started season 2, the season of sexy hair, brainy specs and pinstripes, i.e., the embodiment of hotness that is David Tennant.


Oh yeah, also there's some aliens and stuff.

And David Tennant.

David Tennant.

Did I mention David Tennant?

ANYWAY, we started with "New Earth" (or new new new new new new new new York) and the new Doctor (or the new new new new new new new new Doctor) as he and Rose traveled to a futuristic hospital. They met up with the familiar Casandra and her BFFL Mr. Chips, who attends to her physical needs. (Please mean food...please, oh please mean food...)

The zombie apocalypse happened, the Face of Boe decided he
didn't feel like dying that day and procrastinated instead, and then Casandra made us care about her.

That bitch...

Next was "Tooth and Claw," which started out with Scottish
kung-fu masters (which are apparently a thing) showing off their mad skillz. Because every good werewolf episode in any decent sci-fi show needs kung-fu to make it watchable.

"Silly Irish people...I mean Scottish people."
-the wisdom of Rainbow Condor

Next up was "School Reunion," which basically had enough nostalgia to give any Classic Who fan a heart attack from the sheer force of their memories exploding back into the forefront of their mind. We learned about physics. Physics. Phyyyysics. Physicsphysicsphysicsphysics PHYSICS, and discovered that teachers really DO sleep in the school overnight when all the students go home.

Is that my high school math teacher???

Then we moved on to "The Girl in the Fireplace," which features a young woman, Madame de Pompadour being stalked through time and space by a bunch of steampunky automatons. Honestly, it sounds more like something Captain Jack would do...

If I break my clock, will David Tennant appear in my fireplace? Because if so I will smash that shit and suffer the resulting lacerations gladly.

We met the Cybermen in "Rise of the Cybermen" and "Age of Steel." More importantly, it featured David Tennant in more brainy specs. Also robots whose weakness was their own emotion (which apparently caused them to suffer some kind of weird seizure and explode...weird...that's also what happens to me when I feel things.)

Also, I now ship MickeyxJake


We finished with "The Idiot's Lantern," which proved that the first Skype call happened in the 1950's. Also it stole peoples' faces. Probably why it disappeared for the next fifty years...
