A Brit a Day [#1236]

Some days, I don't need to say anything here on this blog--the pictures do all the talking.

Matt Smith:  he had a buzz cut at Comic-con, for a role. I wonder if his beautiful hair has grown back yet? Where can I see Matt Smith??

Just because I can, I'm recapping a baker's dozen of my favorite posts today.  I do love these boys.

Matt Smith is always so lovely in a suit. I nabbed this picture from this post on Tumblr--

Matt Smith still has some surprises in store for us with the doctor's Christmas special.  See a fun gallery of behind-the-scenes shots here:

PS--can I please have that coat when you're finished with it?

Taking a week off to spend with family and friends. Adios!

Today we're going to play Mad Libs with clues from the following photographs:

"Sometimes I feel like a ____________{animal}'s _______{piece of anatomy}."

The best and the worst thing about being a Doctor Who fan right now:  it hurts a bit.

I love this artist I just found on the Japanese artists' site pixiv, Shimizu.  I love everything about their style right down to the patina on the sketchbook.  You'll love it too, especially if you are a fan of Top Gear, Doctor Who, Sherlock...I saw at least one great sketch of Tom Hiddleston as well.  Check it out--Shimizu's work can be found here--

I'm not sure how far you can get without creating an account.  I did, and it was worth it.

[The art is not mine.  I found it on Tumblr.]

Today is my daughter's 18th birthday.  I remember what an influence the book 'The Little Prince' was for me around that age.  Plus, my daughter loves the history of Europe in the second world war, and the book is essentially a study of the heart of an exiled poet.  Says Wikipedia,

Saint-Exupéry, a laureate of several of France's highest literary awards and a reserve military pilot at the start of the Second World War, wrote and illustrated the manuscript while exiled in the United States after the Fall of France. He had travelled there on a personal mission to persuade its government to quickly enter the war against Nazi Germany. In the midst of personal upheavals and failing health he produced almost half of the writings he would be remembered for, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love and loss, in the form of a young prince fallen to Earth.

I will make sure she reads it.  But for today's post, what could be a more fitting piece of fan art than The Doctor as The Little Prince?

Oh, Matt. My heart is breaking a little bit each day, I'm going to miss him so much.  I've never wanted so much to stall the coming of Christmas.

A Brit a Day [#1163]

It is a pleasure to attend the same event with these wonderful, talented people, even if I didn't get to see them.  It's just nice knowing they are here in my city.

A Brit a Day [#1160]

Yay!  Comic-con starts tomorrow!  Once again, I hope I see Matt Smith.  Once again, I probably won't because I'm too old to camp out for a seat in Hall H.

I met the incredible Alicexz at Anime Expo last week!  I think this may be my favorite thing that she's ever done, and it just happens to be of Matt Smith.

I bought a print of this beauty below directly from her, thereby circumnavigating the BBC who've licensed it! Let's hear it for negating the middle man!

[Oops, I knew I was forgetting something yesterday....this post is for Wednesday.]

At least one of Matt Smith's 'other' endeavors is now available on DVDs that will actually play in North America--I saw 'Womb' for sale on Amazon.

I got the lovely photo from the Mattsmithissexy Tumblr.

Not happy about My Doctor retiring, but I wish him all the best.

[This is a very large picture, by the way.  Click, then open in another tab.  If it posts correctly, the original should be over 5000 pixels wide.]

Bringing back this old favorite of Matt Smith because both he and the car are so seductive.

Very VERY nice work by one of my favorite celebrity photographers, Ian Derry.  With this weird old stuff called 'film.'

A Brit a Day [#1118]

It just came to my attention that all 8 episodes of the BBC series 'Party Animals' with Matt Smith are streaming on Netflix....until 6/1/13.  That gives me less than 3 days to see them all...

A Brit a Day [#1111]

I'm about 75% sure we are adopting a dog tomorrow that we just saw at the Animal Shelter.  He's part German Shepard and part Great Dane--about as big as that there horse.  Not the way I expected to spend my twilight years, looking after a small horse.  But sometimes life just sneaks up on you.
