On Saturday, I texted my friend Molly: If you're here tomorrow, come over to my house for games and beer.
She texted back: What time? Can Chris come?
I replied: 6pm. Chris is always welcome at the Wheaton Secret Headquarters!
Yesterday, while we were at my friend's house for his birthday dinner, Molly texted Anne to find out where we were.
"Did you tell Molly and Chris to come over today?" She asked.
"No, I said Monday, when Robert is coming over."
"She thinks it's today."
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked back through my text messages.
"…um." I said.
"You'd better call her," Anne said.
I called Molly and explained to her that my stupid brain thought Saturday was Sunday and that tomorrow was not, in fact today, but was actually tomorrow (which is now today).
"I'm so sorry. Can you come back tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yeah, I can do that. I'll see you tomorrow at six."
And that is why, when I got home from my friend's house last night, I found this drawing on my front porch:
I’ve been saying that for years! Cute drawing π
You have the most awesome friends. π
Molly Lewis is a national treasure.
This makes me so very happy.
Fezzes are cool. Though I don’t recall the doctor making his own beer. Time Lord Select, for when you need to get sloshed!
Dalek Stout: IN-E-BRI-ATE!
I very heartily LOL’d for a solid 30 seconds, which caused the dog to be very concerned. Best. Doodle. Ever.
Brilliant.
Indeed she is.
where’s the phone-box hidden i want a ride to the future.
I find it most entertaining that only the timelord…err…you has arms. Poor armless, time-confused humans!
How could he operate the wibbly levers without arms?
Wibbley Wobbly, Armey Warmey.
Brilliant. Cyberman Lager: DELETE your brain cells
As a resent Dr. convert (watched new season 1-6 in 4 weeks…Go Netflix!) I see (and love) what she did there!
Fezzes are NOT cool…. but Wil is…
Yeah, I blasted through the whole new series in about the same amount of time. It's worth watching some of them again, because they really do hold up.
And someone is going to yell at you for not calling it "Doctor", I just hope that doesn't happen here π
This is really cute!
And I guess that’s one example of “if youβre awesome to people, other awesome people will want to be around you”.
π
Ok, I’ll be “that guy”. Why does Timelord Wil have a mop? Is he cleaning up after Sparks McGee?
*whisper* It’s “Doctor” not “Dr.”. It is a name, not a title.
(why are we whispering?)
.
Great mid-night read when you know you have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn but you can’t sleep because of your own coughing. Love the reference π
It’s a reference to a specific episode where Eleven has a mop and asks when he is π
.
And obviously the humans being without arms is why The Doctor must come to their rescue…constantly.
Love it! I’ve been doing stupid things like that for the last few weeks…I think it’s in anticipation of our move from the Midwest to San Francisco.
Or not.
Ah, I had to miss my dentist appointment today, all because I thought the 2nd was tomorrow! Hence I asked time off for tomorrow morning. Why would the 2nd be on a monday? I thought. wrong. Oh well, at least I wasn’t the only one! Optic white will hold me over too.
Oooh, look, you’re standing next to a quest giver! (Alternate geek reference for the win…or fail, depending on perspective. /sigh.)
This is fantastic. Thank you!
So Molly missed Magic Mountain on Sunday for nothing. Wil, I might have to consider you an enemy now. I however will hold off any evil plots since I will most likely have Molly over to my house for a game night before the month is over.
I’m really hoping that, over the next few days, your neighbours start dropping hints about the awesome, impromptu concert that Molly held on your front porch…
The Doctor would clearly still be sad over this regeneration, Wil… You’re not nearly ginger enough.
I hope Molly realizes that she’s just encouraging your bad behavior!
So glad you are such a thoughtless jerk, because it made for a super drawring! It wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t always inviting people to do fun things at the wrong spot in the space-time continuum.
Way to make even failure awesome!
I can see the TV ad now.
“When you start getting drunk without having imbibed, you know that in a few hours you’ll be relaxing with a cool Time Lord Select. Time Lord Select — the only beverage that gets you drunk quicker than a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. [Please don’t drink and fly a TARDIS.]”
Oops…speed typing+too many birthday Margaritas= big geeky faux pas….
Thanks for the kind correction Wil.
My summer mission is to find as many of the classic Doctor Who episodes that I can to watch. I got my son watching as well & we have concluded that British tv is the bomb!
*whispering* Thanks Alan for being THAT GUY!
WANT!
Perfect!
When I found the 4th Doctor reference in the response, I was unable to resist.
like it
That is fanfreakintastic! Bravo!
Haha! Love the H2G2 reference!
