Two days until The Hobbit premieres in theatres. Right now people watch their extended editions of The Lord Of The Rings, while critics lament this latest film as 'too long'. All the clips, interviews, and red carpet events basically resembles the time-honoured words, "People start your engines." Me? I take a different track to prepping … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Prepping for The Hobbit

Midweek Geekiness: Some Expected Hype for An Unexpected Journey
When I got home, I checked on my precious. No golden ring here, but two tickets to see The Hobbit in IMAX 3D at Silver City, on its opening day. Assured the tickets existed, I hunted for interviews over a glass of wine. The hype was expected for something like this, and no surprise some of … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Some Expected Hype for An Unexpected Journey
Mindful Sitting and Hobbits
I graduated from 'in pain' to 'discomfort' in the back department. The injury forced me to sit fully in a chair, rather than on the edge. Everyone sits on a chair's edge, I am no exception. I just have to commit my ample rear-end fully to a chair. My back will thank me for it. … Continue reading Mindful Sitting and Hobbits
Midweek Geekiness: Odds and Ends on a Sore Back
I will never, ever take sitting for granted. I only hope to hang onto this memory, not forget it until the next time my back goes out. It's not a great feeling to wish on anyone. For now allow me to share a few things gleaned from the interweb, and other sundry sources. Who Knew … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Odds and Ends on a Sore Back
Midweek Geekiness: Is It December Yet?
The Walking Dead premiered to huge ratings. (No surprise.) It means choosing another new countdown to grace my side bar. What will it be? I thought. I remembered the Thorin Oakenshield wallpaper on my work computer and iPod Touch. Therefore a countdown to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey begins. It's mostly due to imaginary boyfriend … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Is It December Yet?
Winter is Coming Is Not Just a Stark Family Motto
I hate winter. I noticed the change of the seasons usually brings a droopy mood, increased appetite, and the inability to decide on anything. At work, the coffeemaker perked for the second time after the first pot cleared in under two hours. I really want an I.V. full of coffee and lug it around. Even sitting … Continue reading Winter is Coming Is Not Just a Stark Family Motto
I’d Rather Watch a Zombie Show Than Go On A Dating Site
Tonight is the night. Season 3 of The Walking Dead premieres tonight. To mention crossing my fingers for a successful start is an understatement. Plus it's only a show. People will still take to the message boards to air some sort of displeasure about some part of the show. Personally, I hope to be both … Continue reading I’d Rather Watch a Zombie Show Than Go On A Dating Site
Midweek Geekiness: The Zombiefied Edition
The clever people behind Winnipeg's Zombie Walk scheduled the 2012 edition for October 13th. That's one day before The Walking Dead premieres its third season. (I have a funny feeling a number of zombie walks will happen on that day.) Participants bring a non-perishable food item for Winnipeg Harvest, with a killer after party at … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: The Zombiefied Edition
Midweek Geekiness: Bringing Home The Avengers and Writing Outside the Blog
Unless someone lives under a rock, The Avengers came out on DVD yesterday. I decided to purchase the DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack with plans to purchase a Blu-Ray player next month. The gag reels and other extra goodies remain in the Blu-Ray disc, but I have a Joss Whedon commentary on the DVD side. Fine by … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Bringing Home The Avengers and Writing Outside the Blog
Midweek Geekiness: Hobbits, Kobos, and Book Launches Oh My!
Nothing makes me giddy like a Bieber fan than a new Hobbit trailer: The voice majestically talking about loyalty and a willing heart belongs to actor Richard Armitage. In the movie he plays Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the dwarf company trying to take back their home. For a little while longer, he's a best-kept … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hobbits, Kobos, and Book Launches Oh My!
