Is There a Doctor in the House?

Doctors 2 & 3

The final weekend before the kids returned included various movies and lots of food ... I think a diet is in order ... However, we enjoyed most of what we saw. First on the agenda was Wallace & Grommit, "A Matter of Loaf & Death," with a murderous "cereal" killer who's eliminating bakers one by one ... and Wallace is next on the hit list. Then, we indulged in some old school Doctor Who with "The Three Doctors," the first -- and arguably the best -- of the "reunion" shows. The interplay of the three Doctors highlighted the very different ways they approached a problem -- and lead to the final solution. The Time Lords even make a cameo appearance, although this group is nowhere near as colorful as they become later ... Maybe the working Time Lords can't afford the robes with big colors & silly headcaps. Even Pertwee's idiosyncracies work in this episode -- and no eye crossing when his Venusian aikido doesn't work and he's down for the count. Each Doctor has his own style -- and these three set the bar high.

Later, the girls watched the first season of Supernatural, AKA the Winchester boys chronicles. The first season isn't as dark & convoluted as later seasons -- I've totally lost track by now, including remembering the boys' names. Joy follows it still ... which reminds me that we need to clean house & upgrade the satellite receiver before the new season starts. While they watched invasions of bugs on cursed Indian land (it looked like no real estate development I've ever seen in Oklahoma.), I created a pair of purple seed bead earrings, a OOAK pair for the theater teacher at SHS. Luckily I found two other pairs in the colors she wanted; I haven't beaded in a long time, and I forgot how long creating & making a pattern can be ,,, but they turned out all right -- except for 1 little missing white bead. If she misses the spirit bead, I'll make her a new earring; otherwise, I get to make a pair for myself. They're perfect for Spirit Fridays when we wear school colors ...

Time to prepare to meet the kids on the first day of school ... and I'm still tired & achy from moving so much stuff last week, Carpe diem!
