In These Heels

Wowzers, the picture quality just gets worse every day….

Dorothy Perkins dress, 140 denier fleece lined tights, which are the BEST THINGS EVER and boots from Styleshake. I don’t think you’ve seen these before. *rolls eyes* And my new Geek necklace, which was a very very late birthday pressie, but I think its great! From Sour Cherry on Amazon for £6.50.

Do you fancy staring into the eyes of a Weeping Angel?

Maybe you have the key to the Tardis? My son lost his…..

If you are a fan of Doctor Who, and his many Nemeses then you are in for a treat. Vortex III is happening again this year, Sunday 1st May, in the Europa Hotel, Belfast. Its an epic day out, starting 10am, and finishing after a party in the wee small hours.

Taken from the website:
“UT Events are returning for a third trip through the Time Vortex on Sunday 1st May 2011. Guest actors, hot from the sets of Doctor Who and Torchwood, will be taking to the stage to talk about their experience working on the show and taking questions from the audience. Familiar sets and props will be on display and live characters will be roaming the event floor where attendees will find more photo opportunities than ever.

Autographs and photo sessions with our guests will be available, as well as a once in a lifetime opportunity to sit down for an intimate meet & greet over coffee.

Our first guest is Bill Paterson, who will be making his first ever convention appearance with us in May.”

Did you see? Bill Paterson!! Bracewell from the Pandorica Opens episodes, with Churchill, and of course, the Daleks. They will be there too.

Tickets are on sale now, I will be there again, wouldn’t miss it for the universe. Buy them here.

This never fails to make me laugh. Its just a pity my 8 y o son can play the game miles better than I can!

Its even harder than I remembered!!

This is just amazing! Still a fav game of mine, I have the Sega classics for the xbox, with Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and the rest. These guys have nailed Altered Beast.

1st August is mobile phone upgrade day! Yay! I’ve had my trusty Samsung Pixon for 18 months, and although I still love it, and its 8mp camera, I am more than ready for a change.

But I need help. What should I get?! I have few preferences, but must have a decent camera, and be internet capable, Wi-Fi would also be ideal. I’m with T-Mobile, and they do not yet have iPhone4, would it be worth it if I waited? or should I go for HTC Desire, or Blackberry, or similar?

The biggest problem with these smart phones, is that they require a 24 month contract. WTF? Its longer than most serious relationships!! I’m gonna try my best to bet 18 months at the most.
