    Me too!

    Today I'm a nerd because as I was packing my 15 year old daughter's lunch in her new Doctor Who Tradis lunchbox we got her for her b-day, I decided it needed a little something extra. Printed off this photo of Tennant, cut it out and taped it inside the lid when she wasn't looking:

    Just got the text in all caps about 30 minutes ago - apparently she opened it in class to get a snack and nearly burst out laughing, said she was "dying trying to hold the laughter in". :bigsmile: Mission accomplished.

    Because I had fish fingers & custard at lunch. The cafe had fish biscuits and cheesecake. I had to, it was a moral imperative.

    And thank you for the info on the Doctor Who specials this weekend. I will be sure to DVR it - got the text this morning that the 2nd half of Season 7 premieres March 30th, a day before Game of Thrones Season 3!!! *SQUEEEEE*!

    Because my office meeting turned into a two hour long deep space nine debate
    :explode: <jealous rage>
    Are they hiring there? :happy: :wink:

    I've watched all 700+ episodes across the Star Trek series (even the animated series) and DS9 eventually became my favorite (even though the finale SUCKED)! Just last week I used Wikipedia and Netflix to watch all of the DS9 'Section 31'-related episodes in order, now I need to go back and watch the 'Enterprise' episodes again as well. Later, I'll go back and hit all the 'Q', 'Mirror Universe', and time-travel episodes in chronological order (timeline chronology, not production order). I still think that the 29th century arcs would've made an obvious and excellent spin-off series! Imagine, a Federation time-ship fixing chronal anomalies while filling in some of the gaps in the continuity! </minor nerd-gasm>
    I thoroughly enjoyed 'Enterprise' although many panned it and I was quite pissed when it was canceled after the 4th season! However, I was a bit perturbed about how 'Enterprise' retconned some events (e.g. first meeting with Ferengi and the Borg, etc.)

    My kid's Instagram pic of her lunchbox - she loved the surprise when she opened the lid, and proceeded to have her phone taken away for texting me about it in class. :tongue:

  • Because when I was walking around attempting to find someone in my department for advising my teacher called over and said how he remembered me from the class because I was the only one to get a 100 on the let's see what you already know pop quiz thing at the end of his first class.

    Oh and I was working on the 4th doctors scarf for about 30 minutes when I was watching futurama.

    And I thought I was the only person to do this! Totally agree with the last DS9 episode, I stlll have so many unanswered questions about that episode. Although it is still my favourite series out of the franchise. Love the 'Little Green Men'' episode!! I love that you watch Jake Sisco grow up before your eyes when you watch them back to back!

    ... I have been researching how to knit and finally started a practice scarf for the sole purpose of creating a green lantern scarf for myself, a blue lantern scarf for my sister and a star sapphire scarf for my bestie.

    Another skill that would be fun! I used to be able to but forgot how over the years.

    It happened over the weekend but I'm a nerd because I spent 5 hours at home looking for some financial paper work that my employer wanted by Monday morning. The reason it took 5 hours? I couldn't remember exactly where I placed it and while searching for it, I kept running across old comic books and mangas I forgot that I had, and naturally, I had to read them right then and there.

    I found it at a local FYE, a new and used CD store - had no idea they had Who stuff! I saw this one online - costs a bit more, but comes with a thermos and coasters: https://www.google.com/shopping/product/5460604791626552215?q=tardis lunch box&amp;hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=VQK&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;sqi=2&amp;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&amp;bvm=bv.41524429,d.cGE&amp;biw=1224&amp;bih=663&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=pA0HUc_jJ4PniwK4goC4Cw&amp;ved=0CFIQ8wIwAQ

    And of course the awesome pic of #10 came from a Google search. Plotting what photo to add to it in the near future to keep it fun. She says kids come up to her every day and open the box to see the photo again, or ask if it's still there. :tongue:
