Squeeeeeee! (A happy sound of fannish joy)

SciFi Channel will be showing the 13 episodes of Dr. Who with Chris Eccelston. Yeah, sure I've seen 'em but now all my friends and relatives can see what I enjoyed so much. No word yet if they are going to pick up the first season of David Tennant but if the ratings come in solid for the say the first 3, I bet they do. One Dr. Who fan had the bright idea of getting magnets and stickers made up that say "Bad Wolf" and plastering them everywhere or at least get all fans to put one on their car. I might pass that idea onto some people I know at SciFi.

I got my Brian Froud sketchbook book and had a chance to sit down and really look through it. I am so glad that I got it. It is a nice overview of his work. No commentary. It is like looking through someone's sketchbook. I also found out that Wendy is doing her doll book on doll making. This makes me very happy and I hope my class was the one that finally convinced her to write it. Brian is working on the second Dark Crystal movie so that is a good thing too.

For Christmas Peter got me the deluxe "Dressing the Galaxy" which weighs about as much as a small galaxy. I have been going through it and may actually for the first time in my life make myself a walking around costume. There are some neat designs in there for background characters that I am intrigued by. Someday I have to make myself my Starfleet Admiral's uniform since I was put into the books as such by Peter. My younger brother is an engineer on another ship. I know that there are some good books on making Star Fleet uniforms and I also know one of the nit-pickiest Star Trek Costumers on the planet.

I am grateful for all the fannish things in my life.

If you make the Starfleet uniform, please let me know. Sean used to run a Star Trek SIM called Alpha Fleet, and I'd love to make him uniform as well. Therefore, tips and hints would be lovely.

Will do. There is a book I know that was published by Majel's company quite a while back that went over the movie costumes for Khan. I think that is out of print.
