What Kind Of Person?
I read an interesting article about the most hated candy handed out at Halloween and on this list I saw that three were my absolute favorites.
The article questioned what kind of people actually give this candy out and I decided to write about it:
I don’t care what the haters say
it’s not Halloween if I don’t get
Peanut Butter kisses
and jawbreakers
and acres of candy corn
and I want enough to stuff the
severed head, a plastic one
that I named Buckley so full
that his eyes pop out and hit the floor with a plop.
Buckley’s eyes belonged to Marina and Marietta
the only difference was Marian and Marietta’s heads
were not plastic, they were made of bone.
But very much like Buckley their heads were empty until I stuffed them with candy.
That will teach them to trick or treat a Ghoul’s house and make fun of her bowls of candy
her favorite candy that she loves and hands out in high spirits on Halloween.
Doctor…WHAT?
I tried to get into the 13th Doctor’s adventures, but for as much as I liked Jodie Whittaker, I wasn’t crazy about the stories so I sort of dropped in and back out again when the shows were on.
Then I just sort of dropped out and stayed out.
I’ve been watching Doctor Who since the mid 70’s and it was a fun ride but I was getting bored. I still watched it through Sylvester McCoy years ( and I did like those stories quite a bit ) but you could feel it- there was no where left for the Doctor to go- and when they tried to literally take a direction with Paul McGann’s Doctor ( who I thought was great ) by sending him to the United States the fans had a collective meltdown and that was that for Doctor Who.
That aside it was obvious The Doctor needed an upgrade and Chris Ecceleston did that in a very big way and I was on deck once again.
So this is 13’s regeneration scene the special effects that followed were spectacular, but that wasn’t the ‘moment’ that spoke to me.
Her unflashy ‘goodbye’ was.
This is how people reacted- which is pretty awesome:
You might be wondering how I, as a major ” 10 ” fangirl reacted- well, I didn’t video myself but I will say that when that scene came up when I yelled the smoke alarm went off in my living room and my dog hid under the bed for about 10 minutes- it may have been longer because I was too busy having an emotional moment to notice because…
SQUEEEEE DAVID TENNANT IS BACK!!!!
