Red, The Doctor, Magneto & Mickey Mouse




Well I thought I'd try something a bit different and go for a new hairdo yesterday. The stylist straightened it as well (just with an iron, not chemically straightened) when she was done. It's funny how every stylist I come across, they can't resist straightening my hair. I guess curls will do that to a person. I was just going to do the normal hilites + cover my grey but the hubby talked me into a little more color. I wish I could figure out how to do pictures on this thing. I hate that they stack them one on top of another. I'd prefer the one of me first then the one of me and Faythe further down in this blog but whaddya do! I'm going to have to ask D to show me how she does it!

Just finished watching an episode of the new Doctor Who series. I must say it's fantastic! We got season 1 on DVD and season 2 started a little bit ago in England. The writing is really good and we're enjoying it a lot. The Doctor changed from season 1 to season 2 but I guess in the 30 years of the show, it's not new for the Doctor to change form. As much as I liked Christopher Eccleston (played season 1 Doctor), I love the new Doctor now, David Tennant. He's great! So far my favorite episode is The Girl in the Fireplace with Sophia Myles as Reinette (Madame De Pompadour). I think my hubby has probably watched it 10 times since the episode originally aired lol. We were really loving the new version of Battlestar Galactica and when it finished it's season, they announced the show wouldn't be back until October. We didn't know what we were going to fill the void with but we've happily found it now! If anyone is looking for a new show and likes the sci-fi genre, please go to your local video store and rent Season 1. You won't regret it!

One last note about Sci-Fi/Fantasy...saw X-Men: Last Stand last night and it was really good. Some people thought it was a little too much but I quite enjoyed it. There was one part with Magneto that I thought was a bit over the top but the rest was great. Bring your tissues though! A lot of things happened that I didn't expect and I ended up tearing through quite a bit of the film. The boy in the movie that played Leech was driving us crazy because we recognized him and couldn't figure out where we knew him from. Then we finally realized he had played on Stargate SG1 last season. Oh one more thing, be sure you stay for the end credits, there's something you don't want to miss!

4 more days until Florida! 7 more days until Disneyworld! Woohoooo!!!!! Can't wait! I just have to get through month-end at work and then we're off. Although I must say it's always very strange for me when I go on a plane that my destination isn't Chicago. I'm crossing my fingers that we have enough $$$ to go home for Christmas this year. Not sure if we can do it but I can hope!

Well I'm off to practice the piano. Hubby wants me to try to learn the music from the fireplace episode. It's very pretty! Not to mention I have loads of laundry to do (no pun intended...or was it!) and have to start organizing to pack for our trip.

Have a lovely Sunday!
