If someone told me I would hunt down a way to embed a player in a post, I would tell them they're nuts! However, I saw this playlist of British actors from Tom Hiddleston to Richard Armitage reading selections from literature, then discovered I could embed it in a post. Perfect Midweek Geekiness, I thought. … Continue reading A Midweek Geekiness Goes Awry

Midweek Geekiness: Getting Nerdy in the New Year
Fire up Your PVRs, DVRs, or *Cough* Favourite Torrent Sites Hear that high-pitched squeeing...it's Sherlock fans beside themselves in the UK for the return of the third series. (It's season to North American Folk, but I like 'series' it's more dignified, at least I think it is.) After smashing hearts with Dr. Who on Christmas, … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Getting Nerdy in the New Year
The Desolation Fast Approaches
My countdown widget say two days until the movie, but this year I put my delay-of-gratification skills to the test by taking in an early show on Saturday the fourteenth. It's a bit like the one marshmallow/two marshmallow test given to preschoolers, but instead of 'preschooler' it's me, and instead of 'marshmallow' it's Richard Armitage. … Continue reading The Desolation Fast Approaches
Shambling Towards The Walking Dead Season 4
The Walking Dead shuffles back for a new season tonight. After a wild third season, I have to wonder what more can these expanded group of survivors endure. My guess? A lot more. I think Rick did the right thing by allowing the Woodbury refugees into the prison. The look on Carl's face after he … Continue reading Shambling Towards The Walking Dead Season 4
Rumours, Innuendos, and Comic Book Sites
Whenever I berate myself about not publishing very much, I remind myself anything I do publish usually has truth behind it. If I write about a movie, an actor, or anything else it's fact checked. If I make a mistake I own it, correct it, and move on. As a self-confessed geek, I have to … Continue reading Rumours, Innuendos, and Comic Book Sites
Midweek Geekiness: Iron Man 3 Edition
I saw Iron Man 3 on opening night in IMAX 3D. I decided that week after seeing a bunch of clips. The warming weather also means popcorn movie time. I admit to not reading the comic books, but familiarized myself with the source material through Wikipedia. It takes time and effort to be a comic … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Iron Man 3 Edition
Midweek Geekiness: Hawkeye Goes Deep Cover and Other Avengers-Related Tidbits
Long time no geeking. While I work out my blogging/writer's existentialist crisis, it's best to proceed as usual. While walking about on the net, I fell down the Tumblr hole. It makes me furrow my brow in confusion. People write about their 1,500th post and all I can see is pictures. The images bring me … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hawkeye Goes Deep Cover and Other Avengers-Related Tidbits
Weird and Wacky Adventures Around the Net and Random Things
Remember the news Google Reader will no longer exist after July 1st? It's to give people enough time to find a suitable substitute, and migrate their feeds after seeing if such a thing exists. I found something right away, but people need time. Well, Google forgot people needed time. Imagine my surprise, shared by many … Continue reading Weird and Wacky Adventures Around the Net and Random Things
Google Reader Soon Goes Good Bye
I have a routine like any other human being on this planet. I get to work, fire up my computer, then have a look at Google Reader for tidbits. (Fatima speak for anything trivial related to work, life, and writing.) On Thursday Google Reader has a news-breaking pop up: Of course I read more to … Continue reading Google Reader Soon Goes Good Bye
Late Midweek Geekiness: Here Comes The Sun
We sprang forward this past weekend. While I feel a little off sorts, it means leaving work while the sun still shines. Glorious! I got home, poured a little wine, and sat down to supper. I watched the latest episode of Vikings, History Channel's latest scripted offering. I wrote about the show last week, but … Continue reading Late Midweek Geekiness: Here Comes The Sun
