Thirteen Hallows

Hello, my loves!

hal·low - \ˈha-(ˌ)lō\: to respect greatly

Alright, so the title comes from the new instalment of "The Scarifyers".

When a haunted chess set causes consternation at the British Chess Championships, and a horse magically materialises in Kettering Agricultural Museum, MI:13 are called to investigate.

Harry Crow (David Warner) and Professor Dunning (Terry Molloy) follow the trail of inexplicable happenings to an unremarkable terraced house in South Wales, home to the mysterious Mr Merriman (David Benson). He’s very old, and very mad; but is there more to Merriman than first appears?

Meanwhile, in the South West of England, famed archaeologist Ralegh Radford (Ewan Bailey) is on the verge of the greatest discovery of the age. Britain’s Tutankhamen, the press are calling it. But what he certainly isn’t expecting to unearth is boisterous 1400-year-old knight Glewlwyd Gafaelfawr (Gareth David-Lloyd).

As Crow and Dunning unravel an unlikely plot to resurrect Britain’s greatest-ever hero, the race is on to stop sinister forces at home and abroad from finding… THE THIRTEEN HALLOWS.

I bought the CD because Gareth David-Lloyd was lending his voice to a character. I definitely don't regret it. The story was funny, and partly about King Arthur. One of my favourites! Not only that, but today (the 8th), Gareth David-Lloyd was signing copies in London. If you're interested, you can read about the signing here. It was one of the greatest moments of my life.

Shopping haul under the cut.

Where have I been?

February is almost over!  So much for blogging weekly.  I've missed so much that my feed doesn't even go back to show all the entries I missed!  I'll work on that! Ha.  I'm happy to say that I've met a few of my resolutions already, but of course I'm not stopping here! I want to meet them all! 

I can't believe it's already the middle of the semester.  I've already had a midterm, and I'm having more within the next week and a half!  Where has the time gone?  My life has been school, sleep, school, sleep.  So not much has been going on.

Saw this design on a graphic floating around tumblr, and I wanted it.  Went out and bought a case and made it. 

It's silver and black sharpie and I'm going to cover it with some sort of finish so it doesn't rub off!

My roommate pulled me out of the apartment yesterday.  I've been doing nothing but studying, and she talked me into skipping the library and going to the mall.  Quite a disappointing shopping day if I'm honest.

Not only was the woman at Urban rude (that's a rant that i've already had in multiple places), but there was almost nothing that I wanted anywhere.  Urban did have a floral print oversized sweater on sale and vintage rose print tights that I wanted, but I was put off the sale by how I was treated in the store.  So not cool.

All was not lost though!  i did buy some things.  Aviator and Wayfarer style sunglasses from H&M and a gorgeous blush pink linen shirt from Zara.

I went to Megacon with my friend last weekend.  My first ever convention, and it was crazy!  Good cosplays, bad cosplays, media guests and booths!  And of course, so much Doctor Who!  There was a Tardis and a Dalek!

The Dalek actually had space for a man to sit inside and control it!  The coolest thing I've ever seen.  I got my picture taken in front of the Tardis.  So gooooood.

Bought a poster, too! Because Daleks are win!

Two media guests I was dying to see!

Tom Felton and Joseph Morgan!

I got my photo taken with them both!  I wanted an autograph, too, but I couldn't afford the photo and the autograph.  The disappointments of being a jobless uni student. :[ 

They're both so sweet.  Joseph was a bit shy, to be honest! It was the best day ever.
