Dollhouse

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

This post has been on the burner for a while. I wish I had been able to finish it before Dollhouse was done with; but alas these things don’t always happen the way we wish. Dollhouse is one of several shows that’s given us a lot of food for thought about ourselves and the way [...]

3D TV

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I took Mum to see ‘Avatar’ yesterday because I wanted her to be able to see the wonder of it in 3D. I just don’t feel that it will be the same in 2D especially not in 2D on a small screen. It’d be like trying to use shrink tube terminals to do an oil [...]

Venture Bros

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Hubbie stumbled across “Venture Bros” before we got rid of our extended cable, and we’ve been watching the first season via the wonder of Netflix since then. It’s really interesting in a bizarre sort of way given it is a knock off of a variety of things and a satire at the same time.
I [...]

Baccano

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

It’s been a while since we’ve watched any anime in our house. I have several that I want to finish watching like Sayuki, but I prefer to watch with the subtitles on and the original Japanese language but while trying to keep an eye on a three year old it’s difficult to keep up with [...]

Distressing! Silly! Must by Sci Fi er…SyFy

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

I just heard some thing which I consider completely and utterly stupid! SciFi is turning into SyFy channel because they apparently want to shed their geeky image. Urm…I thought that’s what being a SciFi channel was all about! I’ve been wondering for some time why SciFi has been adding really stupid things to their line [...]

Lost

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

I know “LOST” has been on again for a little while now, but I just and so got to catch up with the episodes. I’ve got to say I’m addicted again I have a hard time stopping watching the episodes. I meant to just watch one and then go to bed but now here I [...]

Let's Pretend

Friday, October 24th, 2008

My son has started playing pretend and it has to be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. He’ll come up to me and declare he’s a puppy and bark and yap and pant and then he’ll be a cat and meow and purr and nuzzle me. Although the licking thing…that’s a bit creepy [...]

How I Got Over Barney and Super WHY

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

When we first moved to this house I figured I would let my son have a few times a day watching “PBS” we had basic cable, and I thought that it would help me find some pointers to ways to teach him more vocabulary. I was thinking that it would be “Sesame Street” or perhaps [...]

Dollhouse

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Another thing my friend and I were talking about is “Dollhouse” which is a new TV show coming to Fox from creative genius Joss Whedon. I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, and was one of the many millions of disappointed fans who lost “Firefly” to FOX’s whims, so I’m a bit apprehensive that [...]

Akashic Comic Contest

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Remember me talking about Akashic: Battle of Angels the comic? Well, they’re holding a contest at the moment to see if someone can add great dialogue to some of their comic panels.
Have a go!
