~The Doctor Who Marathon~
The Doctor’s In The House…..
The week between Christmas Day and New Years Day is annually devoted to a “Doctor Who” Marathon in our household…..
It’s a nerd’s T.V. Extravaganza…..
My husband’s an ex-jock…..
I’m an Athletic Trainer and an ex-athlete myself…..
…..and for our first off-spring…..
…..we produced a bouncing baby…..
…..nerd…..
…..What Happened!?!…..
I do not know…..
…..our combined genetics left us down…..
We had the soccer/cricket/tennis/track/equine/fencing sports-genetics covered…..
…..and what happened…..
…..a nerd…..
…..(you should see what happens if you splash water in her face in a swimming pool!)…..
Don’t get me wrong…..she’s a nice nerd…..I’ve even learned to talk nerd-speech…..
…..I really do love her…..
…..and I take advantage of her techno-geek-qualities on a regular basis…..
But she’s a total geek through and through…..
…..and she attracts other geeks…..
There’s a homing-beacon…..or a sonic-ping……or something between them…..
…..maybe the Batman-beam…..(…..don’t get me started…..)
So…..as a result of her nerd-ness and geek-dome…..
…..I’ve recently become immersed in “Doctor Who-isms”…..
………….(I can hear the collective & surprised inhalations from all of the Kingdom of Nerds out there)………….
Hey, you guys…..there’s an entire world of people who can’t identify Doctor Who #8 from Doctor Who #11…………trust me…….!
I did buy Dalek Christmas tree ornaments for my daughter…..so I can’t be “that” bad…..
…..I DO try to communicate in geek-nerd…..
But it’s not easy…..
(ssshhhhhhhhhhhhh…..I do enjoy the “Doctor Who” marathon…..)
(I even have my favorites…..)
(I think I like the Van Gogh episode the best…..)
(and I hate those stupid statues that you can’t blink around…..)
Plus…..I think I have to add a fez to my hat collection now…..
…..I could enjoy wearing a fez to the grocery store…..I think Patrice would agree…..
………….(but I don’t think I’ll ever like fish fingers and custard)………….
