Halloween 2012: Doctor Who!

Nerdz Halloween Party


Late, but this year Paul and I decided to dress up as characters from Doctor Who for Halloween. Paul was the 11th Doctor (Matt Smith), and I was a Weeping Angel. A lot of people don't know what the Weeping Angels are, so here's a video:

My costume took a lot of work, but wasn't too expensive. I bought a blue-grey bedsheet from Goodwill for the dress, which I cut, gathered, sewed, and spray painted with two shades of grey. I bought the wings cheaply on Amazon, spray painting them to look more like stone. Picked up the body paint and hair color spray from the Halloween shop in town. It looked good, but was a PAIN to get off!

Paul's costume was a mishmash. He already had the shirt, pants, shoes, and bowtie. We bought the jacket from Goodwill, the suspenders from Walmart, and the Sonic Screwdriver from Books-a-Million. He looked adorable! ♥

We went to a Halloween Party at the local comic book shop, Nerdz. Afterward, we met Paul's brother and sister at Steak & Shake! They'd just gotten into town for the weekend, and I've got another post coming up to cover that! :)

Fables Comics.



I've been stuck recently on Fables. The comics are brilliantly done, and it doesn't hurt that I've loved fairy tales my entire life. Even my IB Essay was focused on fairy tales!

Fables was created by Bill Willingham in 2002, published by Vertigo. There are currently 107 issues. Reading them the last two weeks, I'm already up to 70-something. I'd be further if boyfriend hadn't taken off with his Nook Color last Sunday! I can't wait to continue reading them.



We've even begun collecting the comics! Boyfriend had several before now, but he'd never read them. He stopped by our favorite comic book shop, Fallout Comics, and secretly bought as many issues as he could for me!

In other news, graduate school has begun and it's beyond wonderful. More on that another time!
