Playing Armitage Whack-A-Mole

Not a day goes by as somebody claiming to be Richard Armitage follows me on Instagram or tries to slide into my DMs on the platform. It's a game of report-block-delete, depending if it's a message or a follow. I admit to having a certain glee reporting the asshats. First, they believe I am some … Continue reading Playing Armitage Whack-A-Mole

Waiting for Richard and Asking Superchannel A Question

Warning: Fangirling ahead. Wise person once said, "Good things come to those who wait." I amend that to also read 'and those who ask nicely.' I have waited for two Richard Armitage projects, the film Pilgrimage and season 2 of Berlin Station. No word on the former but I hit pay dirt on the latter. … Continue reading Waiting for Richard and Asking Superchannel A Question

A Coincidental Purchase

Between Twitter and Tumblr stalking, this story seems appropriate.  It begins with getting a bus pass from the college bookstore.  While they do sell textbooks and supplies, on occasion they have some well-priced books for the heck of it.  One of them caught my eye:   Interesting, I thought.  I picked up the book, priced at … Continue reading A Coincidental Purchase

The Real First Day of Spring

According to Environment Canada, the temperature is 13 degrees Celsius, with winds from the North at 13 km/h.  It sounds cold to those not used to it, but it's heavenly under clear and sunny skies. I had my supper and hauled out my stuff: The lap desk didn't work.  Right now one of my TV … Continue reading The Real First Day of Spring

Midweek Geekiness: Hang in There, Spring is Just Around the Corner

Once the weather warms up my body and psyche feel a little lighter.  The blustery cold recedes, and I trade in my long winter coat for something shorter, yet just as warmer.  I have an idea for the Milestone Widget, but this time will not involve a show or movie. In the mean time a … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hang in There, Spring is Just Around the Corner
