On spoilers, or: It’s Just a Fucking TV Show, People.
If there is one thing on the internet that annoys the crap out of me (in reality, there are MANY things on the internet that annoy the crap out of me, this is just winning today) it is the SPOILER SPOILER hysteria that seems to permeate any – ANY – discussion of popular culture. Specifically [...]

Merlin
It probably really screws any geek cred I may actually have to admit this, but I was never really into Arthurian legend. I was a voracious reader growing up, and as such read some fantasy along the way, but none of it really stuck. My beloved books were Laura Ingalls Wilder and L.M. Montgomery. My [...]

There Were Technical Difficulties, But No One Noticed
Tonight marks the first time in at least 2 weeks that I have been able to login to my blog. Ended up having to upgrade, and fix permissions (and before she says anything, yes, Mura was actually the one to fix permissions). The fact that I haven’t been able to post means that I was [...]

My So-Called Life
I’m moving in two weeks. I haven’t started packing. I bought fifteen boxes today. This was obviously the optimal time to purchase My So-Called Life on dvd. Or possibly not.
But this was the first show I obsessed over, years before Alias and Chuck and…well, really, that’s about it. I had [...]

Carry on
I thought about naming this post Make It Work, but decided to opt for the less cliched Tim Gunn catchphrase.
Sooo. Project Runway Season 5 premiered last night, and I sat down to watch it despite the incredible amount of underwhelment I felt throughout season 4. There were too many veterans in season 4, and those [...]

Mark your calendars, people
Because on Tuesday, July 15th, Joss Whedon’s latest epic project goes live: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog
Yes, it is a supervillain musical. Yes, it will kick ass. Yes, everyone must watch it.
Joss has posted the plan of action here. I’m a geek, so obviously I can’t wait.

The pants command me!
Today was Mura’s last day in New York, and we had brunch, went shopping, and got completely drenched while sprinting along 42nd Street. Then we got back on the train, because we figured one drenching was enough for one day.
(We got soaked again while running back to the car after getting dinner at Pizzeria [...]

Total Awesomeness
Watched Survivor tonight, as I do most Thursdays, and I think I can say without spoilers or reservations that 1) this episode had the most brilliant blindside I’ve seen and 2) I love Amanda a ton.

Hype Me
I am so sick of the Sex and the City movie, and it’s not even coming out until May.
To be honest, I was sick of it months ago, when they were still filming, because every single day it seemed like at least three separate blogs were carrying the same half dozen new pictures from the [...]

Chuck
I miss Chuck too.
I could write an entire post on why Chuck is awesome – there are many, many reasons – but Sepinwall distills it so nicely right here:
The producers aren’t embarrassed to have Sarah do fight scenes while wearing the skimpy German peasant girl uniform from her cover job at a hot dog stand [...]
