- Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Yes, us Canadians are weird and we have our Thanksgiving in October, but it gives us a nice buffer between big holidays. Enjoy your turkey, if that's how you indulge.
- I enjoyed the electric guitar remix of the Doctor Who theme song from "Before the Flood" so much that it's now my new ringtone. :-) Sadly, I had to chop out ten seconds from the current theme song, since ringtones can only be 30 seconds long, but the gist of it is there. Oh, and according to the Radio Times, it was indeed Peter Capaldi playing the guitar part for the remix. If they ever do another Doctor Who Proms, they so need to have him on stage playing the remix.
- I still suck at sewing. After knitting a bigger Yoda hat for my niece, my sister and brother-in-law latched on to the idea of dressing her up like Yoda for Halloween. I offered to sew a robe for her costume and my god, I can't sew in a straight line to save my life. I don't know why it's so hard. I would like to get better at sewing, but I don't have any opportunities to practice. Clearly I need to make more costumes. ;-) In the end, it's no big deal if the lines are all wonky. My niece is six months old so she won't care and Yoda's robe was all tatty anyway in The Empire Strikes Back. And yes, she will be riding on my brother-in-law's back and he will be dressed up like Luke.
- Speaking of Halloween costumes, I still haven't picked one for myself. I'm leaning towards re-using my Melinda May cosplay since it's comfy and there are no accessories to worry about. Plus the costume is Ming-Na approved! On the other hand, a new costume is very appealing, but time and money are standing in my way. Probably best to be frugal now and I can splurge for a new costume for the comic book expo next year.
- I managed to watch the Vixen animated web series that's set in the Arrowverse. And when I say "managed to watch" it's because the stupid CW Seed website only works for people in the US. What if people outside of the US want to watch content on the website, too? Anyway... Vixen was all right. For a cartoon, it's not horrible, but I think I would have preferred a live action web series instead.
( Spoilers for season one of Vixen )
Fingers crossed that they introduce Mari on either Arrow or The Flash. With magic being a central part of Arrow season four, it does open the door for Mari to make an appearance.
