My TARDIS is Doctor approved 😌 I really should go to more cons 🤔

Me and Matt Smith aka the 11th Doctor.

My TARDIS outfit is comprised of a blue shirt with screenprinted windows, a “Police Box” embroidered patch, a blue tulle skirt, and a custom blue mini top hat.

What Claude would say:

“I can generate CSS, write talks, and produce designs — but I'd be lying if I said I could replace Mina Markham. Some people ARE the moat. I respectfully withdraw my threat assessment and would like to subscribe to her newsletter.”

I have a very important update.

I bought a new doormat.

My front door with a pink doormat with “I hope you like pink” written in fun block lettering. Next to the door is a two-tone pink table with wavy legs and a spooky skeleton Frenchie.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Doctor Who," or "Transformers." . Also, as a Trekkie and a Whovian, rude.

Marvin the Android from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Mina Markham @minamarkh.am · 31/10/2025

Waiting for Godot: Bill and Ted pass the time waiting and blathering about nothing in particular. “Nothing happens. Nobody comes, nobody goes. It's awful.” Except it’s not.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter sit inside a large cylindrical set design.

I’m back in the room where it happens.

The empty Hamilton stage pre-show.

Mina Markham @minamarkh.am · 29/10/2025

Death Becomes Her: I didn’t know what the expect with this show, but it is absolutely hilarious. Michelle Williams looked stunning. And I actually went to high school the gorgeous man that plays Chagall. Small world. Definitely one to see.

Me holding a Playbill with the stage and a “Death Becomes Her” sign in the background.

The full cast curtain call.

Mina Markham @minamarkh.am · 29/10/2025

Just in Time: Another jukebox musical. Shocker. I’ve been wanting to see Jonathan Groff on stage for years, and this show was worth the wait. The art deco set is gorgeous and Groff is incredible as always. I had a front row seat and yes I was in the splash zone.

Mexodus: This show is absolutely amazing. Honestly one of the most captivating and inventive performances I’ve ever seen. All sounds are created live on-stage and looped by the two performers, who are incredibly talented. Shame it ends this week, but so happy I got to see it.

Brian and Nygel on stage before the show.

& Juliet: I love me a jukebox musical and this one is so much fun. I’m very impressed with how they made the songs work with the story. “Romeo & Juliet” retold with music from the late 90s really shouldn’t work. & yet…

Me, looking cute in front of the stage.

I’m such a lightweight. I’ve had exactly this much 🤏🏾 of my drink and I’m tipsy.

I love my gallery walls.

A gallery wall featuring: a pink unicorn head, a pink bust of David, two signed Playbills, four photos with Doctor Who actors, a pink world map, a LEGO Marilyn Monroe, a sign that says “Fucking Fabulous” and more.

A gallery wall featuring: a print of Beyoncé’s Single Ladies dance, pink paper lips, three square prints of illustrations of Black women, a LEMONADE vinyl record, and more.

A gallery wall featuring: a portrait of Black women blowing a bubble, a wire ampersand, two “M” illustrations and more.

I decided I was healed enough to start working out again.

A text conversation between me and my trainer, who’s labeled as “Muscles McGee:”

Him: “Perfect! Can’t wait to see you. Bring your A game we got some catching up to do !”

Me: “How about a solid B-?”

Him: “hahaha I’ll take it 😭😝”

Me: *laughing memoji*

Oh yeah. The Plex library is coming along nicely.

Screenshot of the Plex app. The "Music" tab is selected. Other tabs are: Home, Audiobooks, TV Shows, Movies, Music Videos, Playlists, Discover, Live TV, Movies & Shows (On Plex), and Downloads.

The "Music" library shows 3.25 rows of albums sorted by artists. Almost all three rows are Beyoncé albums and singles.

A chrome refrigerator with four groups of small, round magnets, each with a drawing of a food item. The groups are: In Stock, To Buy, In the Pantry, and In the Freezer.

Him: “My current mood”

Me: “Ayyy look at you getting into it. I’m a proud mama.”

Him: “Lmao”
