People see a broken arm and go 'okay' while scrutinizing mental … Continue reading Confort TV in a Medically Mandated Time

The Cord Cutter’s Update: Reattaching The Cord
While taking a break from bopping to 'Cut to the Feeling,' I decided to take a listen to the Castlevania teaser trailer from Netflix. I already knew about it from Slate, and anything animated gets a good look. I like a well-made motion picture, but I admit to indulging my inner teen/tween/kid with a given … Continue reading The Cord Cutter’s Update: Reattaching The Cord
The Cord Cutter’s Update
In July, I not only dropped my landline, but my cable also went bye-bye. The cost kept going up as opposed to the time spend with it. I watch television, but my cadre of programs kept getting smaller. Reactions prove interesting. The ones with a cord already cut understand. My family has a hard time … Continue reading The Cord Cutter’s Update
Frivolous Musings Between The Seriousness of This World
Like many people online, Brexit made me go 'WTF!' (The 'F' does not stand for 'fudgesticks'.) What floored me even more, despite witnessing many dumbass things during the Canadian federal election, were people saying, "I didn't know my leave vote will count" or some variation on that theme their vote means they will not leave … Continue reading Frivolous Musings Between The Seriousness of This World
Cutting the Cord
Sometimes you need to go ahead and do it. Last week, I already planned to cut my landline until I spied an increase in my cable from MTS. My channel group, namely one with the AMC network (Walking Dead, Halt and Catch Fire among others), went from $3.50 to $4.00. Movie Central adds an extra … Continue reading Cutting the Cord
Music Monday: Bear McCreary the Sequel
Outlander currently films in Prague for season 2, while The Walking Dead makes it première in almost two weeks. It means Bear McCreary, composer for both shows, will have his hands full composing melodies underlying the latest memorable moments. The music site rdio sent me an early Christmas present with the release Outlander's second half … Continue reading Music Monday: Bear McCreary the Sequel
Outlander Does Something Pretty Remarkable (With Bonus Ron Moore)
Sunday nights my PVR almost overheat from the shows I record. The Walking Dead has finished, but Mad Men shows its final episodes on AMC, Game of Thrones continues its intrigue on Movie Central, while Outlander captivates on Showcase after breaking for nearly six months. Watching The Walking Dead as people try to outwit humans, … Continue reading Outlander Does Something Pretty Remarkable (With Bonus Ron Moore)
Midweek Geekiness: Welcome Back Westeros!
How do I follow-up the emotional gut-punch called season 4 of The Walking Dead? By trading in Kirkman's deadly pen for George R.R. Martin's even deadlier pen. Welcome to season 4 of Game of Thrones. I tried to put it in bold typeface, but it's safe to say any discussion of Game of Thrones will … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Welcome Back Westeros!
And Now a Word From Our Writer
I have done a bit of reblogs lately in between some sporadic writing. Basically I have taken to the 80/20 rule as I did a bit of housekeeping, including adding a new blog to the Library Blogs/Website page. Plus I boldly stepped up my tweeting. (Not easy for a wordy woman such as myself.) Keep … Continue reading And Now a Word From Our Writer
Racism, Sexism, and Hannibal: Eat The Rude
Today's Midweek Geekiness comes courtesy of Hettienne Park. People feel very passionately about their television shows and their characters. In one instance, Anna Gunn from Breaking Bad wrote a New York Times Op-ed piece about the disdain some fans had for Skyler White. In Ms. Park's case race, as well as gender, proved to spark a … Continue reading Racism, Sexism, and Hannibal: Eat The Rude
