I remember back in college, and even in high school, I was like the media crack dealer for friends and acquaintances. If you wanted something found, I found it. If you needed some new music or a series to get into, I found one that fit your aesthetic. I still do that these days, but to a lesser extent, and I'm figuring out that part of that ( ( Read more... )

Forewarning: I'm on day three of a migraine, and life's a little cra-cray so this may be a bit scattered.

Migraines: they suck. Hate them. Hate that apparently my office itself is a trigger (fluorescent lights + sitting and being at a computer all day + no access to fresh air without actually going outside [where it's now hot] = ow).

My dad's in the ( Read more... )

Could turn into a rant... fair warning. Also, major spoilers for a couple of these.

All right, I've laid off talking about a few shows I'm watching because at least one co-worker is in on the shows in question and therefore around to discuss. Yet sometimes, you have to throw opinions on the canvas of the internet. Just 'cause.

Show 1: Once Upon a ( Read more... )

Ever since tearing through The Hunger Games trilogy with lightning speed, I've been rekindling my inner bibliophile. This weekend I read 3.5 books, and would have read a bit more last night but my eyes were going blurry.

I read the first volume of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. A not small band of people have been nudging me toward this for a very ( Read more... )

I got all freaked this weekend because my Game of Thrones bluray pre-order had not shipped. "But how will it get here by Tuesday?" I pondered. Yet, for once, the universe had my back. 2pm Monday afternoon and behold:

I really want to do another edition of Music I'm Currently Obsessed With... except I jump every couple days to something new. That and 90% of it would be Darren Criss tunes (whether he sings them or wrote them).

However, I must give a shout out to The Vampire Diaries for pushing me to a 'new' song by The Civil Wars. I hadn't really gotten into ' ( Read more... )

After the overall snooze-worthy Oscars last night, I've spent a bit of time this morning watching trailers for films I'm actually excited about. (And a couple viewings of the newest Game of Thrones trailer for good measure... more geeking on that in a minute.)
Of everything I'm stoked for (including The Raven, Brave, the Snow White movie with Bella ( Read more... )

I'm starting to wonder if reading page after page of threads on ASoIaF theories counts as reading book pages, because damn these things are in depth. Most of them require me to go do research on other sites to remind me of every person/event/history being discussed. It's crazy!
Crazy AWESOME!

I know I should be reading other books (or continuing my ( Read more... )

It's a damn good thing series two of Game of Thrones starts in less than eight weeks.

Without new Who to look forward to, my brain would likely explode from the amount of time I currently spend geeking out and obsessing over Sherlock. I mean, really, Mark & Steven... how could you do that to a fan base?!?

The promo photos for Game of Thrones are ( Read more... )

1. The Doctor Who Christmas Special is called "The Doctor, The Widow, and The Wardrobe," and it looks smashingly adorable (and a bit creepy, which is always fun). And near as I can tell will be aired on BBCA ON Christmas again. So, yippee!
2. Kit Harington has just been cast to play Arthur in a Sherlock Holmes-esque Arthur & Lancelot buddy movie ( ( Read more... )
