Cheesy Sci Fi is Awesome

So, I think we've established that I like sci-fi (see past references to Battlestar Galactica, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. etc). If any of you also happen to be totally cool sci-fi geeks too, I recommend Dr. Who. Now, I haven't seen the older versions that ran in the sixties and seventies but the new series that started a few years ago is a lot of fun. It airs on the BBC and features lots of corny sci-fi monsters and British wit.

One example of this is the Daleks. They are a robot race who the creators of the show modeled after a pepper shaker. They are supposed to be really powerful but in the old series they couldn't even go up a flight of stairs. The main thing they like to do is shout out "Exterminate!" or "Obey! Obey!"

Last night, Casey and I took a picture of Colton with some aluminum foil wrapped around his head to make him look like a Dalek. We sent the photo to my brother who also watches the show. If I can figure out how to post pictures from my phone, I'll put it on here.

So, have you already started to dream up Halloween costumes for the little man? I can't wait until he gets old enough to contribute - you're going to have the most original son in town!

Good to see a new post. We're missing you tons, but I heard you have an offer, so I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Oh Summer! You should talk to Craig because he is a HUGE Dr. Who fan! He has some of the DVD's of the old ones with the goal of owning all of them. WOW! Maddie loves watching it with daddy, me not so much!:) Not to be a smarty pants or anything but it's actually Daleks not Darleks. See what happens after seven years of marriage? You learn things you never thought possible! Hope you all are well!
