cosmic_celeryI'm back! I'm glad to be back!
The famed Gilroy Garlic Festival was HUGE. I have no idea why so many people were there. It wasn't that great (I think it would have been a lot better if I was drinking mass quantities of alcohol like most of the crowd), but I had garlic fries and I tried some garlic ice cream. The fries were good. The ice cream was absolutely terrible.
While there I met the mother of my brother's girlfriend (Janice)...who seemed normal until she started talking about how the next day they were going to go scatter the ashes of Janice's dog on some hiking trail up where they used to live. And she was carrying the ashes around IN HER PURSE...and apparently she'd been carrying them around for months. Someone agree with me that that's not normal. My brother just looked totally pooped out. I can't imagine he had fun scattering those ashes the next day.
I got to show my Dad and Stepmom more Doctor Who while I was there, and they love it. Which is awesome. We watched some First Doctor bits and Timelash! Hehe, yes, I know...Timelash...but I love Timelash. And by the way! if you were thinking of getting Timelash on DVD, Paul Darrow is on the commentary with Colin and Nicola and it is absolutely hilarious.
Hmm...that's all for now, I think.
ETA: Oh, and I also wore my Lost Boys t-shirt to the Garlic Festival! Few people got the irony, but it made me giggle.

Hehe, Tekker would be a fun RP, I think. Six would be none too pleased about it though...he'd have to come up with a whole new round of verbose and pretentious insults.

on 2008-08-03 07:37 am (UTC)Yesss! He'd make a fantastic Master, indeed! I have heard the commentary. It was totally him. I was sure to buy the dvd when it came out... because I love Mr. Darrow to bitty bits - even if the Timelash story was a bit naff. His book is fab, too! You must watch Blake's 7 if you haven't already. *is not ashamed of converting people to B7 fandom* >:3
