Two Lumps: Never let the cat food bowl go empty. Seriously.

Unshelved Book Club: OK, this is weirding me out a bit. Not long ago, I mentioned reading Faith & Fidelity by Tere Michaels, and enjoying it enough to order the two sequels.

I had my opinions on what happened, of course, but I wasn't online about it. In more recent years, I was rather baffled intrigued to see that Spike/Xander ( Read more... )

I've been reading the Buffy Season 8 comics in the trade paperback collection format, thanks to a combo of used bookstores and interlibrary loans.

Cake Wrecks: Today's the day for the non-wrecks, and there's a lot of sci fi themed ones. Firefly, Stargate, Star Trek: TOS, and Buffy are in the mix, and the commentary about Firefly and Stargate amused me, especially the Stargate one. I'm 12. There's also a Kermit the Frog one that's adorable ( Read more... )

TV.com: 10 Brutally Fun TV Deaths

As they say, nothing says Halloween like gallons of red corn syrup, eh? Includes such classics as "Bored now." and the more recent "Hey, assbutt!" (though you have to click a link to get the full scene on that one.

If you get Comedy Central or C-SPAN, the Rally to Restore Santiy and/or Fear is on. Looks like C- ( Read more... )

You Tube: Four Days at DragonCon Preview
No Dragon*Con for me this year, but a little taste doesn't hurt (well, OK, it hurts a little bit). This is the opening of a documentary done by the Atlanta PBS station and will be offered for distribution to other PBS stations too. Who knows when or if that will happen, but the Dallas PBS station has a ( Read more... )
