Disney cosplay and Whovian chatter

newmoonstarWow, I'm actually updating! It's a miracle. Been so busy though! Finished the first draft of the play I was writing a few weeks ago, so OMG YAY! But I'm cosplaying at a con this weekend, so as soon as I finished writing, I had to jump right into sewing for the con. I finally finished Jane's yellow bustle dress from Disney's Tarzan, so that will be making it's debut this weekend! SO excited! Also threw together a basic Snow White costume using the Simplicity pattern, so I'll wear that tomorrow, and the Dalek dress I bought at Hot Topic will be for Sunday. The only thing I'm kind of upset about is that the Masquerade is at the exact same time that the season premiere of Doctor Who is airing. I'm not going to compete in the Masquerade, so it's not like I couldn't skip it and go watch, (and it would probably be more entertaining than most Masquerades), but it's also true that the Who premiere will be repeated later that night, so I could watch it then, and it's murphy's law that the one time you skip the Masquerade is the one time it'll be awesome. Ugh, geek problems!
I am so, so not ready for the new season of Who. I wish it was another week or month yet! I've had to totally abandon my Classic Who watch for the last month or so, and I was hoping to have at least gotten thru the last bits of 1 & 2 and 3's second season before new who started, but alas, now I'm behind and I'll have to watch them all jumbled together. And I'm totally afraid of where the show will go with no end of Moffat in sight. I'll give Capaldi a chance, of course, I want him to be a good Doctor, but as poor old Sixie's era illustrates, it doesn't matter how good the actor is if the writing is bad, and I've totally given up on Moffat AND most of our regular roster of hacks by now. I was actually on my way to forgiving the Moff for season 6 after season 7 was mostly pretty good, but Time of the Doctor killed any good opinion I might have had, and I will never, never trust him again. The fact that Clara and the new boy are suddenly and randomly Coal Hill School teachers isn't helping me to feel goodwill for season 8 either. Barbara and Ian are my favorite companions, they were flawless and amazing, and no one could ever fill their shoes, so the fact that someone's trying to is already rubbing me the wrong way, and the new season hasn't even started. We already had companions who were teachers from Coal Hill School, we don't need more. What's next, ANOTHER glamorous Time Lady fresh out of the Academy? ANOTHER Scottish piper from the 18th century? C'mon, come up with something different for heaven's sake! It's not that hard. Each companion should be unique, there's so many more stories that could be explored, and I feel like most of New Who's companions have been so cookie-cutter. (And this isn't just a prejudiced Classic Whovian talking, I felt that way long before I ever saw Classic Who. I think that's partly WHY I fell so hard for Classic Who; it finally gave me the kind of show I always wanted Doctor Who to be!)
But enough worrying for today; I'm not going to even THINK about Who until I see the new eps. Except for the actual Doctor Who cookie-cutters I just got today, I might have to give some thought to the best way to make K9 and a Dalek look pretty and taste delicious. (I could have a time-travelling tea party, omigosh! I must make it happen now.)
