Geronimo's Rescue Story


One year ago today, my brother and I rescued a rabbit. He was the size of my hand, approximately 2 months old, and he was out in -18 degrees Celsius winter weather. We were at our grandma's house and knew about the rabbits in her neighbourhood. Someone had let some domestic rabbits outside and they had bred over the years. There are many rabbits there now of various breeds. The rabbit that we rescued was one of them, possibly part lionhead. We knew that it was too cold outside for a rabbit his age so my brother and I went outside with a towel after we saw him hopping around in our grandma's driveway. By the time we got outside, he was hopping along the road. We followed him to try and catch him in the towel but he kept hopping away from us. We finally chased him against a snowbank and he was unable to climb it so we threw the towel over him and brought him inside. We found a small pet carrier in the garage and set it up for him with a towel and water. His eyes were closed and he hid under the towel most of the time, obviously quite scared.

I texted our parents, who were working, and told them what had happened. I still remember the text that my Dad sent back: "You can't keep him." We waited until our parents got home from work and by that time the rabbit had still not opened his eyes. In fact, it appeared that his eyes were stuck shut or that he might not have any eyes at all since all we could see was skin and fur where his eyes should be. Since we had found him outside and didn't know what else to do by the time we arrived in our own part of the city in the evening, we brought him to a wildlife refuge centre. They took him in even though he was not a wild rabbit and they nursed him back to health. It turned out that he was dehydrated and, once they took care of that, his eyes opened and they had to clean them out since there was guck in them. The wildlife refuge centre said that they would have to find a home for him since he was a domestic rabbit and we instantly offered him a home with our own family. 

We named him Geronimo because we're big fans of Doctor Who and that was a sort of catchphrase for the Eleventh Doctor. We call him Gerry for short. He has grown into a healthy rabbit, other than not having the best eyesight which is probably due to the state that his eyes were in when we found him. He has such an adorable personality and he is really good for an unneutered male rabbit, although we still plan on having him neutered. He and our dog, a golden retriever named Finnlegh, became very good friends. Gerry likes to cuddle with Finny and Finny likes to lick Gerry.

I am so glad that we decided to rescue him and then give him a home. In regards to that text that my Dad sent me, my Mom said that my Dad later stated that he shouldn't have looked at the rabbit because he ended up falling in love with it just as we all had. Geronimo has changed all of our lives. He can be really crazy at times and then funny or super cuddly at other times. He is a major sweetheart and my heart feels good knowing that he is alive today because of my family and I. Rescuing animals is good for the soul, you guys. You rescue them and they rescue you. That's just how it works.

Cheers,
Kay

My Favourite Binge-Watch Worthy TV Shows (that are still on the air!)


Hello fellow binge-watchers and TV show fanatics!

Since it is winter, I'm sure that many of you, like me, are stuck inside most of the time. That is, unless you live in a warmer climate, in which case, enjoy your time outside because you guys are lucky. If you are camping inside, however, I thought that I would share my favourite TV shows for you guys to, you know, binge-watch until Spring arrives. I put the list in alphabetical order and included links to the shows' websites. Enjoy!

Agent Carter: By Marvel, this show is about Peggy Carter's adventures with the SSR after WWII and Captain America's "death." Definitely watch the first Captain America movie before watching this show.

American Horror Story: A crazy show where each season is a different horror story in a new location with new characters. It can get pretty gory but the stories are so good!

Bates Motel: The life of Norman Bates (from Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho) as a teenager. The story therefore takes place before the story in the film but it takes place in the modern day rather then during the actual period before the film.

Doctor Who: It's Doctor Who! Seriously, I shouldn't even have to tell you about this one. You should know about it already. If you need a "reminder" about what it's about, then it follows the life of an alien called the Doctor and everyone he meets as he travels through all of time and space in his TARDIS, a time and space machine from his home planet of Gallifrey. Now do you remember?

Jessica Jones: This show is a Netflix series and it is by Marvel. Jessica Jones is incredibly strong, gaining this ability after being in a car accident with her family that died. In the past, she was controlled by Kilgrave, a man with mind control abilities. She escaped but now he is back and he wants her again. Kilgrave is played by David Tennant (who played my favourite Doctor: the 10th Doctor!) so I was excited about this show and enjoyed binge-watching it just to see Tennant's amazing performance as the villain.

Murdoch Mysteries: A great Canadian fiction show about the mysteries that are solved by Detective Murdoch and the Toronto constabulary in the late 1800s and now early 1900s.

Once Upon A Time: Fairy tale characters are alive in the real world, brought there by a curse, and the Saviour (Emma) must save them all!

Outlander: Based on Diana Gabaldon's Outlander novels, this show is about a woman in the 1940s who time travels to the 1740s by touching one of the stones in a special stone circle in Scotland. She then tries to survive in order to somehow try to get back to her own time.

Sherlock: Sherlock Holmes in the modern day. What more can I say? It's awesome.

The Big Bang Theory: A fun comedy centered around scientific geniuses and the experiences that they have in their lives. A good show to watch if you need a break from watching darker and crazier shows.

The Librarians: Following the three movies under the title of The Librarian (Quest for the Spear, Return to King Solomon's Mines, The Curse of the Judas Chalice), the Librarian finds a Guardian as well as several other people who each could have become the Librarian. Together, they must find and protect artifacts from literature and legends. Magic is real, and they know it.

The Muppets: Basically a grown-up reality show version of the Muppets. I see it as their way of making fun of reality shows. The episodes are short and the story is light and comedic so this is another nice show to watch when you need a break from binge-watching all of those deeper, darker series.

Let the binge-watching marathons begin!

Cheers,
Kay

Year 1 of the Doctor Who:The Tenth Doctor Comics


I received my first Doctor Who comic (published by Titan Comics) for Christmas last year, and since then, I buy the newest ones whenever I see them being sold. Of course, I only read the Tenth Doctor's comics since he's my favourite Doctor. It has been amazing to read these comics, reading about adventures that we never saw during the Tenth Doctor's time on Doctor Who. These adventures take place right after he leaves Donna. He meets a new companion, Gabby Gonzalez, an artistic young lady from New York. It all works in the world of Doctor Who, as well, because since the Doctor can travel through all of time and space, he has many adventures that we never get to see in the TV show. But we get to see them through different ways, one of which is the comics. That is the magic of Doctor Who. We can still enjoy more adventures by all of the Doctors, even after they have already regenerated. Year 1 of these comics was fantastic and I am now enjoying year 2.


This particular story, "The Arts in Space," was one of my favourites from year 1 of the Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor comics. In this story, Gabby and the Doctor visit an art gallery in space, with the Doctor hoping to visit an artist friend of his so he can introduce Gabby to her.


This story, "The Weeping Angels of Mons," was another one of my favourites from year 1. It has the weeping angels (my favourite Doctor Who villains!) in the trenches of World War I. Enough said.

Cheers,
Kay

Finding My Way


Life is tricky sometimes. It can be hard to find one's way throughout their journey of life. I'm 21 years old so I'm at that age where I'm a young adult. I'm officially an adult but I was also a teenager not long ago. As young adults, the world expects us to know what we want to do with our lives. They make it seem that way, anyway, and it sure feels that way. This is all crazy. I don't think that anybody ever really has their whole life planned out.

Since I'm in my 4th year of university, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do next. I'm at a point where I don't really know anymore. I have an idea of what I want to do but I'm stressed out and I feel kind of stuck. I also feel like everything is going too fast. I want to slow down and have time to really think. I want to do some exploring along various paths.

I've realized that I am not someone who fits into "the norm." My life and who I am deep down inside is not what society expects of me (although, society is slowly learning to change and be more accepting). I feel like even in Canada, society expects us to live a certain life: go to school, get a job, get married, have kids, raise kids while working, work until an appropriate age to retire, and then enjoy retirement. This is not the life for me. I already know that I don't really want to get married or have kids and that is perfectly fine. I'm in school so that I will be able to get the job that I want but now I'm not exactly sure what job I want. I'm a creative person; I like music, art, and writing. I also like the outdoors. I want to get away from living the same way day after day. I want some adventure and I want to do something that will expand my mind and really make me think. The way that I feel makes me think of one of my favourite quotations from Doctor Who:

"When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better."
-Elton Pope 
(Doctor Who, Season 2, Episode 10, "Love & Monsters")




It's not just the "What am I going to do with my life?!" situation that is bothering me. I also have health challenges as well. I prefer to use the word 'challenge' as opposed to 'problem' because it's more positive. I have mild Crohn's Disease. I've never talked about it here but I am very open about it in my life outside of my blog. If you don't know what Crohn's Disease is, it's a gastrointestinal disease meaning that it affects the digestive system. Crohn's Disease is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and basically there can be inflammation and ulcers anywhere in the digestive system but most commonly in the small and large intestines. There is no cure for IBD yet.

I have inflammation in the end of my small intestine and in the end of my large intestine and I don't get pain. This is why my Crohn's Disease is considered to be mild. The only symptom that I get is bleeding from the inflammation in my large intestine (in other words, I get blood in the stool). The blood in stools is actually the only sign that I had that something was wrong when I first started getting it in my first year of university (December 2011). I am so grateful that I did something about my Crohn's Disease before it got worse.

Even though my Crohn's Disease is only mild, it doesn't mean that it doesn't bother me. I have to pay attention to my Crohn's Disease and do necessary things like go to doctor's appointments, go for tests, take medication, and watch my diet to ensure that my Crohn's Disease stays mild. Sometimes these things stress me out, which is another thing that I have to watch and try to reduce because stress can make things worse like it can with many health challenges. When there's continually blood, I keep thinking "Will I ever put my Crohn's Disease into remission or at least heal the inflammation in the end of my large intestine?" Inflammation in that location can be difficult to heal because bowel movements always irritate it. Right now I'm trying a combination of methods to try and heal the inflammation. I'm following a low residue diet as much as I can while still eating healthy, taking vitamin C and D everyday, exercising, doing yoga, meditating, and taking my oral mesalazine medication (for the inflammation in the end of my small intestine). I've also started drinking jasmine tea everyday (jasmine tea has many health benefits!) and I put honey in it (which is also very healthy!). So far, something here seems to be working because, when I've had blood, it has been less blood than usual and has actually been quite small of an amount. Sometimes, there's been no blood at all! I'm obviously very excited about this because: 1) My body is healing or at least getting better! and 2) I have found a way to deal with my Crohn's Disease that involves a lot of natural/alternative methods!

"Letting it get to you. You know what that's called? Being Alive. Best thing there is. Being alive right now, that's all that counts."
-The Eleventh Doctor
(Doctor Who, Season 6, Episode 4, "The Doctor's Wife")


Letting my Crohn's Disease "get to me" or bother me can be a good thing because it makes me want to do something about it! Also, it reminds me to be grateful for the healthy parts of my body and the ways in which I am healthy. As I mentioned before, when I think of my Crohn's Disease, I think of it in a more positive way by viewing it as a health challenge rather than a health problem. I choose not to view my intestines as bad guys but, rather, as the organs in my body that need more love and attention!

If you want to learn more about IBD and learn about a great organization in Canada that raises money to find a cure for IBD, visit Crohn's and Colitis Canada!




These are the two things that I'm dealing with right now. Of course, there are other things that I'm dealing with too like things going on in my family (mostly health and stress related), getting stressed out with school, and continuing my journey of living a life full of positive energy but figuring out my life and dealing with my mild Crohn's Disease are two of the main paths that I'm on at the moment. I just have to remember to stay positive and remember that I am in control.

"Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it."
-Princess Merida
(Disney Pixar's Brave)


We all go through times in our lives when we become overwhelmed with everything, whether it be things staying the same or too many changes. We just need to pay attention to them in order to learn, grow, and be thankful for the experiences that are building our futures.

My Thoughts on the Twelfth Doctor

Since the last episode of the 8th season of Doctor Who aired on Saturday and we now have to wait for the Christmas special (I'm so excited!), I thought that I'd take this time to give my thoughts on the Twelfth Doctor. It was hard to get used to him at first. My favourite doctor is and always will be the Tenth Doctor played by David Tennant and I also loved Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor (My brother and I even got our picture taken with him at Fan Expo Canada 2014!) so it was hard for me to let go of those two, especially after seeing them together in the 50th anniversary special. 

The first episode of the 8th season was all about getting used to the new Doctor which was really interesting and it was actually smart to do that because I know that many people would have had trouble getting used to the new Doctor so it showed that the characters were going through the same problem. The new Doctor is much more angry and bossy. It wasn't until the third episode (the Robin Hood episode) that I became used to the new Doctor and actually started really liking him. 

Here are 3 reasons why I like the Twelfth Doctor:

-Humour: He's funny. He doesn't have the same humour as the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors but he has a humour of his own. My grandma (who also watches Doctor Who! Yes, my grandma is awesome!) describes his humour as dry humour.

-The Doctor makes mistakes too: I find that the Twelfth Doctor shows that the Doctor makes mistakes too, just like everyone else. He's not perfect, in fact, he's kind of human in that way. I found that the other Doctors were images of a more "perfect" Doctor but the Twelfth Doctor shows that really, the Doctor is a lot more like us than we think.

-His companion has a big role and the Doctor knows it: The companions usually follow the Doctor around on adventures and, although they do play big roles, Clara seems to have done more than any of the other companions, especially with the Twelfth Doctor. The Twelfth Doctor is very different and Clara has to remind him of who he was and who he really is deep down inside. There's even a part in the episode "Into the Dalek" where the Doctor says that Clara is not her assistant and she states that she's his carer. I find that this shows an evolution in the companion characters. They are not just assistants anymore, they are much more than that.
DOCTOR: This is Clara, not my assistant. She's, er, some other word. 
CLARA: I'm his carer. 
DOCTOR: Yeah, my carer. She cares so I don't have to. 
(Doctor Who, Season 8, Episode 2, "Into the Dalek") 

Each regeneration of the Doctor brings about change and I think that the writers are doing a great job with the changes in the Twelfth Doctor! He's a regeneration that was never supposed to happen and only happened because he got help from Gallifrey so of course he will not be like the other Doctors.

What do you think of the Twelfth Doctor?

Fan Expo Canada 2014 + Tips for Attending Conventions


On August 29th, 30th, and 31st, my brother and I attended Fan Expo Canada in Toronto! It was so much fun! We did photo ops (meaning we got our picture taken) with Matt Smith and also Stan Lee! For our Matt Smith photo, I wore a TARDIS dress that I made last October for Halloween and the 50th anniversary special and my brother dressed up as the 10th doctor. My brother also brought along his 11th doctor's sonic screwdriver for Matt Smith to hold in the photo so now he can say that Matt Smith actually held it! For our Stan Lee photo, we wore our Fan Expo t-shirts that we received as part of the ticket package that we purchased. We also went to the free autograph session with some of the cast of Murdoch Mysteries (and we took pictures with them at the autograph table just as many other people did) and went to their free panel afterwards. Other free panels that we went to were Arthur Darvill's panel and Stan Lee's panel and we went to the special Doctor Who panel which had both Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill. This was our first time going to Fan Expo and it was definitely a very interesting experience!

Throughout Fan Expo, there were a few things that I noticed and thought that I should share so here are 5 tips for attending conventions:

-Bring a bag: I brought my pack sack (backpack) and I was so glad that I did because we used it to hold things that we bought, free stuff that we received, snacks, water bottles, etc. I also brought a small book bag and used that to carry our photos after we did photo ops (which we payed to have framed) so that they would stay safe.

-Saturday is crazy: Saturday was the busiest day out of the three days that we were there. Saturday is probably a busy day at all conventions seeing as it's a day that is the most convenient day, for scheduling, that people are able to attend. We went to panels on Saturday and tried to do some shopping but we could hardly move through the crowds so I would definitely recommend sticking to panels and other similar activities on Saturday.

-Use the Help Desk and ask the staff questions: The staff are there to help so if you have any questions or don't know where to go, just ask them! Sometimes, the staff don't give enough information or they might give confusing information but when that happened, I either asked them to clarify or I asked another staff member.

-Be prepared for large crowds: Conventions are huge and busy! It can get very overwhelming (I was super overwhelmed until I got used to it) so be prepared for this. Understand that it might take you a long time just to get to another part of the building and be prepared to stand in long lines. When my brother and I got too overwhelmed, we left the building for a little while (usually to get lunch and get some air).

-Most importantly, have fun!: Conventions are meant to be exciting and fun so don't forget to enjoy yourself!

Just to give you an idea of what a panel is like (if you've never been to one), here's the awesome Murdoch Mysteries panel that we attended:

Doctor Who Laughing Break

Doctor Who is already so funny but here are some funny Doctor Who related videos to make you laugh even more! Enjoy!


Lauren Cooper and Doctor Who clash in class - Classic Comic Relief


Daleks Love Cats


Doctor Who Series 3 *Hilarious Deleted Scene*
The beginning and the ending of this video were included in the episode but the parts in between where he says that he has to just talk for a minute straight was just filler for video that was seen but where the audio was not heard. Funny stuff!


Can you tell that David Tennant is my favourite doctor?

DIY: TARDIS Bookmark

Here's a Doctor Who craft that is good for school or just for those who love reading... a TARDIS bookmark!


This TARDIS design is very simple. I drew the TARDIS (with the squares and rectangle and everything) on blue card stock and cut it out. I glued it to black card stock (so that the bookmark would be thicker and tougher and it would have a black back). I cut three squares out of white paper for the top three squares and glued those onto where I had drawn those squares. I also cut out a small white rectangle for the light at the top of the TARDIS. I then drew the criss cross lines on the light and the two top squares and I also traced the outlines of the remaining squares. Next, I cut a rectangle out of black paper for the sign at the top and wrote 'POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX' on it with a white coloured pencil and glued the sign to where I had drawn it. Lastly, I carefully erased any remaining pencil marks and trimmed any sides that needed some extra trimming.

I hope you enjoy making your own TARDIS bookmark!

Quotations that help me when I'm going through tough times in life or I just feel stuck:


"When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better."

-Elton Pope 
Doctor Who, Season 2, Episode 10

"At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough, and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may, in fact, be the first steps of a journey."

-Letter from the parents of the Baudelaire orphans
A Series of Unfortunate Events (Movie)

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.” 
-The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

-Dumbledore

DIY: TARDIS Hair Bow

Continuing with my obsession with Doctor Who, here is how you can turn a dark blue hair bow into a TARDIS hair bow!


I had a dark blue faux leather hair bow clip and I thought that it would look neat if it had a white outline of the TARDIS on it. I used white duct tape and cut a strip. With a pencil, I drew the outline of the TARDIS onto the strip of duct tape (I used a very basic outline of the TARDIS, you can just copy the outline that I used). Once I had my outline drawn, I cut out the whole thing and then proceeded to cut out the rectangle and the squares. Since duct tape is incredibly sticky, it can be difficult to cut everything out, especially the rectangle and squares so make sure that you cut everything out slowly and carefully. This requires patience. Once everything was cut, I stuck the image onto the hair bow, being careful to stick it along the folds.

There you go! Now you can make your own TARDIS hair bow!

DIY: TARDIS Themed iPod Touch

It's official! Doctor Who is now one of my favourite TV shows! I have become obsessed with it! The characters and the story are amazing! I'm in the fourth season right now. Out of the three doctors (9, 10, and 11) that they have had, I have only seen the first two so far. Out of all of them though, I must say that I prefer the 10th doctor who was played by David Tennant. His appearance just fits the doctor's personality so perfectly and he is so funny!


As with any obsession of mine, I've been wanting to make some DIYs that are Doctor Who themed. Since my iPod touch case is dark blue, I decided to decorate it like the TARDIS! I used white multi-use label stickers and with a pencil, I drew the shapes of the squares and the rectangle that you see on the TARDIS. In the rectangle, I wrote 'POLICE BOX' and I left the letters white, colouring around them with a black sharpie so that the rest of the rectangle was black. For the two top squares, I drew the lines in blue sharpie and I left the third white square that is on the left side blank. The rest of the squares needed to be blue so I just cut them so that the iPod case would show through the center of them and they would look like white outlines of squares. Once everything was cut out, I carefully erased any pencil marks that were still showing, arranged the shapes on the iPod case and, once happy with the arrangement, I removed the paper backing of the labels and stuck them on. This is obviously a more simple version of the TARDIS. It was a quick and easy DIY and I am happy with the results. You can make your iPhone or other type of cell phone into a TARDIS too as long as you have the right coloured case.

To really make my iPod into a TARDIS, I decided to add some TARDIS wallpapers to the screens. For the lock screen, I have a picture of the outside of the TARDIS and for the home screen, I have a picture of the inside of the TARDIS.

I also wanted the alerts on my iPod to be the sounds of the TARDIS so I downloaded this free TARDIS ringtone. I use the TARDIS sounds as the alarms that I set for various reasons. You can also download other free Doctor Who ringtones on the same website so look around and find other ones that you like. 

Have fun making your own iPod or cell phone into a TARDIS!
Oh, and have you taken a look around the TARDIS yet? You can do so right here! The TARDIS is amazing!
