Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Don’t Blink

I got a package in the mail yesterday! Woo hoo! It was a Dr. Who toy. Woo hoo! Lauren tipped me off that it was her. Thanks, Lauren! It’s awesome!

In the Dr. Who TV show, there are these creatures called “weeping angels”. They look like angel statues standing with their hands over their faces. When it gets dark or you look away or you blink, the creatures move toward you to get you. They’re some of the creepiest villains on the show. If you have four minutes and twenty-five seconds, THIS video shows some clips of them. I have thought for a while that it would be fun to have a weeping angel in my garden, but no one makes full-size replicas. Instead, Lauren sent me a mini version. I assembled the kit immediately.

Don't blink!

AAAHHH!  You blinked!

    AHHHHH!!!! I blinked!! (They’re even scary in Lego form. Yikes!!)

    I read your e-mail yesterday in great haste, and later realized you were asking about some other ‘mail delivery failure’. Curses! I gave away the surprise!

      P.S. Perhaps this one could go in your garden? It would certainly freak out the rabbits.

      Your email box (sewardweb) isn’t accepting emails. It says it’s full.

      And those things are really creepy. Eeek.

        I’ll get my tech guy on that as soon as he recovers from his illness. (Spoiler: It’s tomorrow’s post, and it starts with a ‘p’.)

          Holy catfish! He has pneumonia? Or is it pertussis? Or perhaps polio? I’m on pins and needles here!

    You are so right…AHHHHHHH!! Do they ever come to life? I mean, how do they get you….or do I not want to know.

    And maybe it’s time to dig out that ‘saving up cash box’ of yours.

    I have had nightmares about things like these. What sort of friend sends you something like that?! [I know – a very dear one, right?]
