Gallifrey One
This weekend is Gallifrey One Los Angeles’ Doctor Who convention. This is my first time going and because of a work event I can only go for one day. So of course that one day is going to be packed. But I picked a good year to go because both Billie Piper and Alex Kingston are going to be there. So because you guys know I like sharing my convention schedule with you, here is my plan for the Saturday of the convention. Now I have kind of noticed that there are a lot of extras for this convention. More than normal there are extra things (beyond autographs and photos) that you can pay for. Now I am poor and I didn’t do any of that, but I will be pointing out some of the events that I wish I had the extra cash for as well.

Look, now as you all know, Valentine's Day is going on and content related to it is also coming on OTTs, so while following up on the same thing, a movie was released on Netflix yesterday called Players, which I have watched completely. So whatever my experience has been, I will try to tell it without spoilers.

Making the Case for Seth Rollins vs The Rock at Wrestlemania 40
The current plans for WWE's Wrestlemania 40, April 6th and 7th, in Philadelphia, have a tag team match pitting Roman Reigns and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, aka 'The Bloodline,' against Cody Rhodes and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in a tag team main event on night one and Cody for Roman in the main event of night 2 where, supposedly, Cody will 'Finish the story,' as the marketing has pushed it. This is not a bad pair of main events, but I have a better idea.

Anyone who has worked with a micromanager will understand that these kinds of people have a tendency to be the worst during work.
