Not Sweet Cheeks? Freckles? New Girl?

A while back I mentioned that I dabbled in watching Doctor Who.  The Ninth Doctor was my first Doctor and, in my humble opinion, the best Doctor.  

Since I'm sure that particular statement will cause controversy, I'll throw another little bit of info your way which will really cause a call to storm my home with pitchforks and torches. Are ya ready?  Thanks to a certain spinoff I was ruined forever and could never make a return to Doctor Who because THAT was too much of a family show.  Apparently, I like my BBC SciFi shows to be SCANDLOUS!  I want rough talk, adult situations, questionable morality and hot Captain Jack on Captain Jack sex.  Torchwood is the show for me!

I can thank two of my favorite people for involving me with this show. One of which I lounged around on perpendicular sofas for days while we powered through the first couple of series.  The other raced me to the end and congratulated me for finishing by gifting me the shirt I wear this evening.  The show, this shirt & these people mean a lot to me. 

Oh!  While I do hold a special place in my heart for the show I will say that the abomination that was the mini series "Miracle Day" doesn't count.   As a matter of fact I'd like the wipe what I did see of it from my mind. It was a pathetic excuse of an attempt to bring it back. If you haven't seen it save yourself and just stop after "Children of Earth".  That, my friends, was brilliant!  Please do yourself a favor and give it a go.

So Glory Is Ben? Ben Is Glory?!?!?

LI may have mentioned this before, but I have had the pleasure of podcasting about the shows "Buffy" & "Angel" along side some of the most amazing people I know for something like 18 years now. Hardy har har har!

Tomorrow night we record the season 2 finale of "Angel".  Tonight, after the longest day of work ever capping off the longest week in recent memory, I am hunkering down with a frosty adult beverages while I take my notes, chill with my canine BFF & wear my latest TeeFury acquisition. 

I Love You. I Know.

In my 40 years of life I've experienced love & loss as well as passion & indifference.  Also, I've also consumed a lot of media which touches on these topics.   Amongst the myriad of films and movies that I've seen over the years, I maintain that the hottest kiss of all time takes place on the ice planet of Hoth between my favorite movie heroine & scoundrel of all time.  Don't agree?  I don't care. ;)

Oh!  It's Valentine's Day so I'm enjoying a love-themed brew.  

Winter Is Coming...

Ummmmm...winter is here!

In the summer of 2012 I was lucky enough to have been able to attend SDCC.  As some of you may know, when it comes to the processes regarding getting passes and a hotel room in addition to finding a decent price for flights luck really is the appropriate word to use.   If it wasn't for a slew of dear friends, I would have either been in San Diego sans to of over my head or I would have been stuck in Jacksonville, FL that weekend attending Bittercon on my Skype machine. 

What importance does the above hold?  Well, today I received an unexpected gift from a friend who I had known thanks to social media and also had the pleasure of meeting in the real world whilst in San Diego.  (Fun Fact: in my head I just did a kick ass Ron Burgundy imitation there.) 

He's an awesome guy with a beautiful family who was kind enough to let his friends borrow him for a few days of panels, post-con meals, convention floor walking and sight seeing.  

So skip ahead to this very day, nearly 2 years later, where I get to be the lucky one to receive an awesome new Game of Thrones T.  It's nice and roomy and super soft. Thanks so much, Texas Jeff, and as always....Team Joffrey FOREVER!!!

Self Indulgence Up The Ying Yang!

A self-indulgent blog can use a self-indulgent T to highlight. Today's T simple highlights my awesomeness and if I was a super hero I'd be CAPTAIN AWESOME!  

 

Boy I sure am humble!  Aren't I?
