Top Ten: Fandom Office Items

Being let go from my job allowed me to bring home the fannish items I had been keeping in my office. They are now merged back into my overall collection. Here’s a list of ten of those items. Welcome home, little ones! I missed you!

10 Fandom Items From My Office

1. Hawkeye FUNKO POP- My favorite Avenger was a wonderful present from a friend. I have an older series Hawkeye POP, and I didn’t want him to face an identity crisis seeing his Endgame Part 2 self, so I took him to work to guard my computer.

CONfabulation 2017

Badge2This weekend, I had a wonderful time at CONfabulation, a multi-fandom convention by the people who brought us Wincon. As always, it’s hard to adjust to real life again after several days of being a fangirl at the height of excitement and being uncensored around/among my people. So I thought I’d write it up while the experience is still somewhat fresh.

My Christmas tree is a mix of ornaments from my childhood and ones from later on in my life. Many of them are related to my favorite fandoms, naturally. I thought I would showcase one every other day in December in a 12 Days of Fandom Ornaments series.

As a cat lover, I couldn’t resist this ornament. The only down side is that I often find myself singing the song after passing by my tree.

Thing Thursday: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

ManFromUncleThe Rogers Revue, a fantastic entertainment blog held a contest when the Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie came out… and I won! Squee!

I got the first season of the television show on DVD (which arrived in the mail so fast I was stunned). I have watched a lot of the show on TV when the repeats were on years ago but I look forward to watching the first season properly now, in order. The actors are so young! I mean, David looks like he’s 18! heehee I wasn’t so sure how I felt about the movie remake, because so much of the show for me was these particular actors. But I saw a newer trailer the other day and actually felt pretty good about the movie.

I’ve already made plans with my mom to have a fun night watching some of it together 🙂

So you should totally check out The Rogers Revue and also like them on Facebook. They run a lot of fun contests—you too could be a winner! And they provide some really great entertainment news about everything from books and theater to television and movies. If nothing else, check out some of the awesome interviews they’ve done.
