Currently…in June 2013
Feeling: EXCITED! I have so much awesome stuff going on, and so much to look forward to!!! Well, I’ll get to that! Watching: Black Butler – an anime series that a friend turned me on to. At first, I wasn’t sure I could get into it, but I always try to give TV at least…

Currently…in May 2013
Feeling: Anxious for summer. After this brutal week of lots of work (and still being sore from trapeze), next week I will have a much easier schedule. I can’t wait to buy groceries at a regular store! Watching: Don’t judge me – Hole in the Wall. By the time I get home from work, I…

Currently…in April 2013
Feeling: Congested! I’m getting over the flu! I worked long hours during the worst of it. Today is my day of rest and recovery. I’m looking forward to doing a lot of nothing, sitting in a hot bath until the water turns cold around me, dragging out my orange fleece blanket, and watching trash TV…

The Walking Dead Google Reader
I’m the latest princess to the party, but I just started watching The Walking Dead and I’m afraid it may replace sleep. Who needs sleep? ZOMBIES! And also, who can sleep? ZOMBIES! Speaking of things that are dead-but-not-entirely-dead, Google Reader! I’m also the last person to mourn that Google Reader is gone. And at first…

All My Chobits
Thanks to the Crazy, Tragic, Sometimes Magic Michael, I have learned about the Scintilla Project, with writing prompts. I LOVE BEING PROMPTED. Really, you only have to prompt me to do something and I’ll usually do it. Which brings me to today’s prompt – a time when you were drunk before you were allowed to…

Think Pink
I have already come out of the My Little Pony closet, but today I reach a little further in to bring out something a bit embarassing – the love I have for Pinkie Pie. Look at them crazy eyes. That there’s True Love. If you’re familiar with the show, you’ll understand when I say that…

My Little Confession
I’m just going to come right out and say it: I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Some of you already know of this phenomenon. I myself once scoffed. It’s been a while since I’ve watched any cartoons that weren’t as trippy and terrifying as Akira. But anything is worth a try, right? And…

Fighting Illness
Source: google.es via Dina on Pinterest You know all my bragging about never getting sick? Well, hubris is a bitch. Because I got sick. And when I got sick, I became a self-indulgent baby. First of all, classic Doctor Who is available on Netflix (see above)! If Tom Baker can fight the Wirrn with panache…

A Peek At… The Corner Bistro
Source: Uploaded by user via Marc on Pinterest The Corner Bistro is a bit famous. It’s referenced on the TV show How I Met Your Mother, in the episode “The Best Burger in New York” as the suggested place to find the best burger. Is it? Decide for yourself!

For the Love of Daleks
February is the month of love. What better way to spread love than to showcase some of the things I love? And what better “thing I love” to start with than something that has no emotion… DALEKS. In case you can’t tell, I love me some Daleks. What? Why? I love their tinny, screeching voices. …

Learning to Love the Cyborg Within
On the subject of irrational fears, check out this fortune cookie I received the other day: The thing in us that we fear? I don’t know about you, but the thing I fear most is robots. Sorry, Rosie. Source: Uploaded by user via Devin on Pinterest Yup, robots. Specifically, very humaniod robots and/or cyborgs and/or…

A Peek At… Tom’s Restaurant
“What’s the deal with Tom’s Restaurant?” I’ll tell you. First of all, you may recognize the outside of Tom’s Restaurant as being the exterior shot used for the diner oft-visited by Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George in a little TV show they call Seinfeld. Secondly, this little Morningside Heights gem was immortalized in song by…

On the Bright Side, There’s Always the Dark Side
If anyone has yet to see it, Todd and the Book of Pure Evil is the funniest undiscovered* TV show available on Netflix for Instant Streaming. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93id9Wn9Xok] The show combines outrageous humour (presumably this much raunch is totally allowed in Canada) with quick dialogue. If Season One of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was an…

Making Peace With Zooey Deschanel
My relationship with Zooey Deschanel is troubled. I loved her in Failure to Launch, but can’t abide 500 Days of Summer. Not to mention she’s always copying my style: look at the similarities here. This is my headshot from 2009: And here is a photo of Ms. Deschanel, found on Pinterest: Source: google.com.mx via Jesús…

Best / Worst TV Show
Source: google.com via Ila on Pinterest Drop Dead Diva may be the most amazing show on television: they take the most offensive, weakest premise imaginable and turn it into a charming, touching, addictive comedy/drama/law procedural. WHAT?!? Here’s the gist: what’s worse than dying in a car accident? Why, BEING FAT, of course! The first three…

The Accent is on the Accent
This embarrassing true story happened to me at work a few weeks ago. Let me preface by saying that I have somewhat of a hearing difficulty…perhaps when I can afford insurance I’ll see a doctor and diagnose the level to which my hearing has deteriorated thanks to sirens, horns, trains, and midnight fireworks – but…

I'm Afraid to Be Alone
I’m a little ashamed to admit that I’m afraid to live by myself. I don’t, of course, I have Eels. And before that, I lived with my parents. For many, many years. Here’s the embarrassing part: I’m afraid to be alone at night. And I’m almost 28 years old! Take, for example, a few years…

Bridalplasty
Much like the time I watched a 16-wheeler get stuck under an underpass, Bridalplasty is just one of those things you know you shouldn’t watch but you just can’t help staring at and talking about. Everything about this show is repulsive and demeaning. It preys on women’s personal insecurities while also feeding into the celebrity-…

The Chocolate Bunny Story
My grandfather was not known to be an affectionate man. He worked a dangerous job, building the electrical plant in Niagara Falls, taking treacherous buses down steep hills into the Niagara River to build and supply power to the whole region. He was proud, and self-assured, but a romantic he was not. One Easter, he…

I Used To See Me On TV
Growing up pre-Internet in a small town where everything closed at 9pm save for the WAL*MART and the two local Denny’ses (pancakes and auto parts, yee haw!), television was my only link to the outside world. Not to take all the credit away from my family, teachers and peers, but I think television shaped who…
