October 6th, 2012: Pyramids of Chests

“Who”turday! Or Saturday for those who don’t watch Doctor Who.  What did I watch this weekend since new Who is on its break until Christmas, you ask?  Pyramids of Mars.  I enjoy me some Tom Baker.  I always like watching him.  He is a hoot. Then again I like the other Doctors too. I’m not biased.  I do tend to feel like working on my the season 16/17 scarf when I’m watching him, but I also get the strangest urge to work on it when I caught up on season 2 of Sherlock as well. Strange.

Speaking of that scarf, I’m almost half way done. I've got to more colors to knit before I finish one half of it. Then I have to start on the next chunk of the scarf.  After I have essentially two scarves I have to then knit them together to make this beastly scarf.  I’m just hoping I get it done for Gally in February.  If not I might just pack it along and be knitting at the convention!

I don’t have high hopes for my K-9 cosplay because I screwed up my sewing machine. I’m having troubles with the thread bunching up and I haven’t been able to sew any pieces together yet.  I have to find some time free during my weeks to take it into someone because I can’t seem to figure the darn thing out.

I digress, lets get back to what I watched.  Watched Pyramids of Mars.  I like it but I think the robots chests are bigger than mine. Well, bigger than most people’s chests and perkier too.

This was my favorite part of the whole thing. The robots using there massive chests to squeeze this guy to death.  I don't actually remember if he died because I was so busy laughing at it.

I would recommend this episode.  It had it's regular cheesy special effects you can expect from Classic Doctor Who, and what I love about it too.  I enjoyed it.  You might too.  There were some Ribbon ideas for Gally during it that Chad liked, and I hope I finally figure out what I want to do for a Ribbon too.
