SPAM! It’s What’s For Dinner!

30 Sep

I am amused by SPAM. I monitor the site comments pretty well and delete/block any and all bits of SPAM that appear. But sometimes… they make me laugh. So I decided that I really wanted to hang on to the comments while tossing what makes them SPAM.

I give you a new page on the site- Our Favorite SPAM. I’ll update it as I find entertaining SPAM.

Great Trek Debate, chapter 2- the films

28 Sep

It’s time again to take a gander at Star Trek and discuss… the films. There are eleven films, counting the reboot in 2009. Inspired by my recent Trek weekend I opted to watch the few that either I’d blocked out or hadn’t seen (yes, there was one I had never seen!). And now here I am to discuss them… so put down your phasers, grab a romulan ale, and let’s take a gander at the many films of Star Trek!

Just so you know…

Our party was a huge success and we are very grateful to everyone that came out and/or was there in spirit. Details later… when I’m not running on diet coke and rainbow cake!

Halloween 2012

18 Sep

 

 

So… we are in the countdown to Halloween… what are you doing and what plans for ghoulish fun do you have?

Click the link above to see how long we have left until the big day!

Generally I hit up Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. And I’ve done a corn maze/haunted house deal out at Pierce College. I’d like to hit the Queen Mary this year- Emily went last year and said it was quite good. What else in LA area should I look into?

Television Graveyard- plot 1, PREY

14 Sep

I have, in my collection of DVDs, a large number of old, short-lived, or maybe little remembered series. I might throw Firefly into this group, but if you call yourself a geek or a nerd, you ought to be familiar with that one. So I’m thinking that from time to time it might be fun to discuss one of these dearly departed television series. Not recaps, per se… just a wee post about them.

We’ll start with one from 1998- PREY

Nerd Adventures ~ Aquarium of the Pacific

10 Sep

I love Jellyfish. And Penguins. And Sharks. And well… pretty much everything you can and do find at aquariums.

Generally, I go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium because its close to my hometown- we got there on field trips as kids. I visited my brother once when he lived in Baltimore and he used it as an excuse to go to their aquarium. And when I lived in Chicago- visiting friends gave me the same excuse. Heck, even last year visiting Kathleen in Seattle led to a visit to an aquarium! So… I think it’s clear that I like undersea things. Continue reading

Old Adventures… Salute to Supernatural 2007

6 Sep

While living in Chicago for a short time, I didn’t get out and do as many nerdy things as I’d liked- I’ve actually done more nerdy things in Chicago since I moved back to California! But one of the things I did do was head out to the Creation Con Supernatural event in 2007. At the time, I’d never seen Supernatural (I was working on my masters, had only public TV, and was very sheltered due to being a California kid living in a city that actually had WEATHER!) so I opted to go to the con for two reasons- two guests that I adored and a few friends from around the state were heading in for it. However, I came out of the weekend with a love for Jared and Jensen (damn them for being awesome) and a need to watch the show. Continue reading

If I Can Just Have 5 Minutes Of Your Time~ Web Series reviews, issue 3, Husbands, The Series

4 Sep

One of the things I want to do with this web series review posts is point out a small series that you may or may not have heard of and give each it’s moment in the spotlight. Today, I want to touch on a series from the amazing talent of Jane Espenson and Brad Bell (probably better known as Cheeks). Continue reading
