Behold: a random blog update! Nothing terribly exciting to speak of- I've been sewing pretty much constantly and will continue to do so up until the first weekend in May for Costume Con. I have six new Victorian dresses in the works, which means several new period correct undergarments to go with them, so it's a big project, but it's been my dream to go to a costuming convention with a fabulous historical wardrobe to wear for as long as I can remember, so hell or high water will not stop me until they're all done!

Of course, this also means I have very little time for anything else, and already had to give up auditioning for three plays that open the same weekend as the convention. I signed up for dw_guestfest too, and really want to do it, but I've found absolutely no time to write lately either. Still, I hope a miracle will happen between now & my chosen posting date and I'll find time to do it, so I'm not quite ready to give up on the possibility just yet.

Still trying to keep up my epic Classic Who watch-a-thon as well, albeit at a much slower pace. I'm currently watching the beginning of the Fourth Doctor's run, and enjoying the team of Four, Sarah Jane, and Harry immensely. (And now I've finally seen episodes with every single TARDIS team in Classic Who! I'm nearing the end of the voyage! Only two full seasons and a few stray serials left before I'm finished! IDK whether I'm happy or sad to be almost done with this wonderful crazy show.) The Ark in Space was so very good- the design of the space station looked really great, and the story was very suspenseful and totally nail-biting throughout. And Harry is just delightful- I think he wins the prize for best under-reaction for a first time TARDIS-traveller with his mildly concerned "oh, I say!" upon landing on a space station thousands of years in the future! Too bad he doesn't stay through all of next season. And it's still a bit strange to be seeing Sarah Jane so young, after having met her first in 'The Sarah Jane Adventures', but it's also kind of interesting, because if you think about, that must be what it's like to actually live in the timey-wimey Doctor Who universe, where time-travel is real and you don't always meet people in the right order. Doctor Who is weird and I love it.

Anyway, away I go to get some sleep so I can sew more tomorrow.

Aww, Harry is great! I lve the Four-Sarah-Harry line-up! Four & Sarah are lovely together, too, of course, but Harry's very nice & Ark in Space is definitely a good one. And the thing with DW is you'll never be quite finished - there's always all the novels, the comics, the audios, the new series, the new spin-off, they might recover some more missing episodes - so it goes. (That said, I'm quite slow to watch my last few Classic Who gaps, because it will be sad not to have any more new-old DW.)

Good luck with the sewing - and of course, I do hope you get inspired for the ficathon, too! ;-)

Finishing with Doctor Who is most definitely not something I anticipate ever happening! I already started in on the audios, novels and comics long ago- I think I actually own more audio stories than TV stories at this point. (I finally had to go out and buy plastic storage bins to organize the Big Finish CDs lest they topple off their precariously tall stacks and break.)

I also think I might save watching a few of the classic stories that I haven't seen- just so I can have 'new' old who to watch on some rainy day in the future. (Perpetual fingers crossed for miraculous finding of missing eps though.)

All good sewing luck is gratefully recieved, and I'm still hoping some writing luck will come attached to it's tail. ;D
