Talk Nerdy To Me

So not so very long ago, walkawayslowly decided to write a Hockey Big Bang story. And I said I would do a mix for it. Which really meant, I picked out a handful of songs and made her help me with everything else. Because she is awesome like that. And today is the posting day, so here it is. Enjoy!!

Do you long for riches, fame, glory?

I can't promise ANY of those, but you will have a ton o' fun if you get yourself on over to scifiland!

We are always looking for interested peeps!

Go Team Sidekick! (Or Team of your choosing!!)

So I'm watching "the Unusuals" and I'm kind of LOVING IT. How come nobody made me watch this? Why was this cancelled? How is Jeremy Renner so awesome?

So I started watching a show on AMC called "Rubicon" - it's all conspiracy and the like. I think the main dude, James Badge Dale, looks like a cross between Glee's Matthew Morrison and John McEnroe.




It's kind of disconcerting.


Also, my roommate has no idea who John McEnroe is.

Super quick post, as I have to go pick up pizza.

Am still alive. Am in the land of little to no internet access. Been spending insane amounts of time with the nephews. Will have to buy oldest bro a new copy of the Castle book, as other older bro's cat decided to chew on it. Went to amusement park. Got pooped on by a bird. Am doing tons o' stuff for work. Started watching American Pickers, love it. Going back to OK in a weekish.

I'm a part of Team Sidekick, over at scifiland. (BTW, we are ALWAYS in the market for more people! Join the Sidekicks, we have COOKIES!)

Anyway, one of our challenges was to create a fanmix for a show/character/theme, etc. So here's mine.

Because it is summer and I have nothing to do, I went ahead and joined scifiland, which is an interactive multi-fandom community.

It seems like it should be fun! Join up and ask for Team Sidekick. Because the world needs more sidekicks!

The roomie and I went to see Robin Hood tonight, and both of us enjoyed it immensely. Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett were awesome. Now we both want to read stories about Robin and Marian parenting all of the orphan children in the forest. And being crazy in love.

I think we might be seeing it again this week. And I'm definitely buying it when it comes out.

I don't know, there is just something about Russell Crowe that pushes all the right buttons for me.

I grew up watching Doctor Who. My dad, brothers and I would catch it Saturday afternoons on our local PBS station. Four was the Doctor I imprinted on, though my Companion on choice was Ace. Might have been because I was 15-16 and felt out of place.

Anyhoo, I weathered through the comings and goings of the Doctor, and was truly excited when new Who came on. I enjoyed Nine, but may have felt slightly superior when people were moaning about him (and later Rose) leaving, because that's just how it was. And then Ten came, and I fell in love with the Doctor all over again. I know there are people out there who just DID NOT like him, but this girl was not one of them. I mean, he overtook Four as my favorite Doctor, and that's not an easy feat. So despite everything, I was sad when Ten left. I mean, there wasn't wailing and gnashing of teeth, but I'll admit that I cried a little when Eleven appeared. Because now *my* Doctor is gone.

That being said, I caught the first half of 'Eleventh Hour' on Saturday and I think I'm really going to enjoy Eleven. He's no Ten, but he *is* the Doctor, and I'd be a fool not to follow his lead. So I went ahead and ordered a season pass, since I still had Christmas money left on iTunes.

And Amy? I think I'll like her too.

So as soon as I finished watching tonight's ep I ran to my computer to look for other people squeeing over it, because HELLO! Esposito, if I didn't love you before I would so love you now. And Kevin Ryan! I just want to squeeze them all. Totes.
