Christmas Cookies

by

I have been tagged by my husband for Linda Poitevin’s virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange. Looks like the Doctor is trying to steal a cookie!

Brandon Routh

by

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Brandon Routh! (Twitter) Honestly, we weren’t going to get an autograph from him because of time (we were selling at Pop Expo for the second year in a row) and money (I’m in school). But it turned out that we had the time (very small turnout – it was disappointing) and the money. We happened to walk past Brandon Routh’s table when there was no line, and he was still there, so we walked right up to him. We said that we loved him in Partners (comedy show of a half season in length that is brilliant and should never have been cancelled!) and he replied that he loved that show, too. He was so incredibly sweet! (Morgan of Geek Charming has an awesome story about her meeting with him here). AND the best part? He loved my TARDIS. He liked it so much that he wrote down the number of our booth, and then searched it out! Totally made my weekend.

Nicole de Boer (Twitter) was such fun to meet! Eric has a bit of a crush on her, so it was nice to see him flustered instead of me. We asked her if there had been a plan to make a spin-off of her all-girls team in Stargate Atlantis, or at least plans to bring them back. She said that yes they were supposed to come back, and that there was going to be a love story between her character and the doctor, but that the series was cancelled before they could work in that story line. Too bad. They needed more female actors on that show. 😀

“Shall we dance?” asked Jen, holding out the TARDIS.

“Great idea!” replied John Barrowman, pulling Jen tightly against him. “What will you do?” he continued, asking Eric over Jen’s shoulder.

“I will tap Jen on the shoulder, asking to cut in to dance with you.” responded Eric with a cheeky wink.

“Excellent!” laughed John Barrowman.

PopExpo and Jurassic World

by

Hello,

This weekend was PopExpo. Jen, Lindsay, and I had a lot of fun despite the smaller than normal attendance.

My coffee sales were ok. We’ll try again for Comic Con.

If you’d like to buy some I have a few bags of Capt. Jack Harkness (Banana Cream), Spiked (Butter Rum), and Davroast (Chocolate Hazelnut) left. They’re $10 Dollars. You can email me or use the Commissions page. All bags are $10.

Short post today so enjoy the new Jurassic World trailer:

I think this gif expresses how I feel.
