How To Dress Like A Time Lord

   As I have mentioned several times before I am a fan of the hit BBC T.V series Doctor Who. A Time Lord is a super intelligent alien who can travel through time and space. They are originally from a planet called Gallifrey. Also when a Time Lord is killed they regenerate and essentially bring themselves back to life. There are many components of a Time Lord that are interesting, but one of the coolest things about them is their fashion sense. Here are some general rules to follow when trying to dress like a Time Lord or Lady.
   1) Make Sure You Like Your Outfit: Time Lords rarely change their clothes and when they do it's usually only a silly costume or a different colour of the same original outfit. You should pick something versatile that will fit for various occasions, and is comfortable for running. You don't want to get a high heel stuck in the mud when a Dalek pops up.
   2) Make It Practical: As I mentioned before Time Lords find themselves in many troubling situations so you need to be able to run. Comfortable foot wear is a key component to your Time Lord outfit. Don't worry your shoes don't have to match the rest of your clothes in fact it's better if they don't. Try to avoid long flowing outfits as they can become caught in ship engines and other such space items. Long scarves are an exception to this rule because their good qualities far out weigh the bad. They can tie up aliens, save a drowning victim, and be unravelled so as to find your way through a maze.
   3) Don't Match Anything: You are an intelligent 900 something Time Lord so you're past the point of caring what other people think of your outfit. You like those lime green pants, but you also like your neon orange turtleneck just wear them both. Don't worry about how the different components look together just think about whether you like the different components separately then wear them together. Wearing colours that don't match may scream Time Lord but at the same time pay attention to rule 1. If you don't like miss-matched colours don't do it because whatever you choose you're going to be wearing until your next regeneration.
   4) Your Outfit May Stay The Same But Accessories Can Change: When you wear the same outfit or variations of the same outfits it's fun to spice up your wardrobe with some neat accessories. The personality of a Time Lord can be stored in a watch so a pocket or wrist watch can be a perfect accessory. Time is in the title Time Lord so whatever time piece broken or not is fine. Accessories should have a purpose, for example a stick of celery that detects certain potentially poisonous gasses in the Praxis System. Once again it's all about practicality. If you are a Time Lady try some chunky or gaudy jewelry. Overly long necklaces and super thick bracelets can be a nice add on to an outfit.
   5) Be Unique: Not everyone has the potential to be a Time Lord so not everyone should look like one. If you walk down the street you should not see others wearing the same outfit as you. Seeing as you travel through time and space simply wearing retro clothing will not guarantee individuality. You must wear something that has never been fashionable at any time or wear something that can not be found in stores. Avoid name brands at all costs. Wearing a shirt that says Tommy Hilfiger or Lulu Lemon is about the most UnTime Lord thing you could possibly do.
   In summary be practical, be unique and most of all have fun with it.

Video Game Review
I have almost finished Kingdom Hearts for a second time, except this time it's on challenge mode. This game is associated with Disney and includes many of their characters, as well as some of my favourite characters from the Final Fantasy video game series. The graphics in this game are great although they can't beat God of War, but I'm pretty sure it was made before God of War. The storyline is enticing and makes you want to keep playing. While the regular mode is extremely easy the challenge mode is difficult for even experienced gamers. The battle style is similar to games like God of War but without the gore. The game stays appropriate and is therefore fun for a variety of ages. Even the mini games are entertaining. Usually I skip over mini games, but for this game I make an exception. I'm not fond of jumping around in this game but I only complain because I'm not too good at it. I am proud to award this game my first 5/5.
