Quiz: Which Marvel Movie Villain Are You?

Quiz: Which Marvel Movie Villain Are you?

Answer:
MarvelBaddie

Thoughts: Well, this I did not expect! I don’t quite seem my resemblance, to be honest. I do like a good plan, sure. And I certainly can be moody and misunderstood. So all right. But I think the flaw in this quiz is my own; I don’t consider myself a villain at all, and I lack ambition. But, hey, I wouldn’t mind having Loki’s powers… or his brother for that matter…

Harry Potter Trivia Tournament

hplogo

I just finished filling out all the rounds & bonus round of the Harry Potter Trivia Tournament. I apparently got one wrong (grrr! Silly me thinking that 25 days was three weeks instead of 4 weeks… I’m too literal, apparently. So I’m not going to win… but it was so much fun to answer the questions. There were some easy ones (given that I have passages of the book memorized) and there were some hard ones (given that my memory SUCKS).

Your Overall Rank: #251
Your Total Tournament Points: 640/650

Quiz: What Star Trek Species Are You?

Quiz: What Star Trek Species Are You?

Answer: Vulcan
You Are Vulcan, You prefer to be alone and learn. You rarely show people what you are feeling. You understand that things take time. Safety is something that usally passes your mind, but you don’t always follow it
StarTrekSpecies

Thoughts: Given the options, I certainly don’t hate this outcome. I feel I’m in excellent company. However, I’m a little worried that I scored so high on Romulan and Borg. Funny how cold logic can be used for evil as easily as good.

Mario Marathon 7

MarioMarathon2014-01I look forward to the Maraio Marathon every year. A bunch of friends get together and play tons of Mario games. They take turns playing so that at any time–day or night–there is Mario goodness happening. How long they play (how many games & levels they must get to) has to do with how much money gets donated. So the more money they raise, the longer they play. All money goes to a great charity, Child’s Play Charity, which gives video games to children in hospitals.

I just made my donation (though I tend to donate additionally in little bits throughout the marathon as well).

As I’m still recovering from gallbladder surgery last week, I look forward to taking it easy and watching these guys play all weekend! Do the Mario!

EDIT:
Oohh, they have a donation widget!

Craft: Star Trek Peeps

Another Star Trek craft this week. For a swap, we were tasked in making stuffies of Star Trek characters in the style of marshmallow peeps. I am not a sewer, but I gave it a shot and ended up making two.

Top Ten: Star Trek TNG Episodes (Part 2)

TNGcombadge In honor of Captain Picard Day yesterday, I thought this was the time for my favorite episodes of the show that, at an early age, threw me into the great fandom that is Star Trek.

When trying to draw up the list, I couldn’t come up with just 10. I couldn’t. And I just started rewatching the series, so now I’m not even that objective (in fact, I’m watching one of the ones on this list right now). And, so…

Quiz: Which Star Trek Captain Are You?

Quiz: Which Star Trek Captain Are You?

Answer: Jean-Luc Picard
Your sense of right and wrong are second to none, and while your intelligence can be a little… rarefied, you do know how to have fun. (Reading 16th century British poetry is totally fun.)
Picard

Thoughts: No kidding! Ha! Well, that was a surprise. But he’s my favorite captain, so I’ll take it… and read a book tonight 🙂
