Made it Monday: Avengers Bag

Here’s the Avengers bag I put together for my partner for the Avengers fandom swap. It was a fun one!

Thing Thursday: Jurassic Cups

I saw Jurassic World in theaters in June, then I recently came across these cups from McDonalds when going through some of my boxes from my childhood and thought I should make them a post here.

Wildcard Wednesday: Waiting

I’m not good at waiting week to week for things. This is why I can’t seem to watch Supernatural when it airs and have to wait for it all at one time to binge. It’s only a seven day wait, but it can be painful!

titansgraveSmall-241x160I’m currently experiencing this pain with Titansgrave: The Ashes of Valkana. I am utterly and helplessly addicted to this show. Wil Wheaton as GM does a great (read: terrible) job of stopping an episode just when some big discovery is going to happen. I love that the players groan as much as the viewers when he does this. But what I really love is watching the story unfold. I don’t play D&D, and I’m sure role playing is so much fun, but I think I’m getting just as much out of just watching. It’s a world and story I enjoy diving into every week and characters I quickly grew to care about: Aankia (and Jeremy!), Lemley, S’lethkk, and Kiliel are all well-played and rich with drama and detail.

And how much do I love the new “Five Gold and a Party” shirt available at DFTBA? Well done, people. Well done.

Anyway, if you’re not watching it, you MUST START. Even though the wait is painful from week to week, it’s so worth it… says the addict. But be sure to start with Episode 0.

Top Ten: Fandoms I Don’t Fangirl

At a recent con, someone saw my multi-fandom fangirl badge label and asked me what I fangirl. I find it impossible to answer that question; there are just too many fandoms! Instead, I find it easier to answer the question a friend asked me after a Harry Potter meetup a few months ago: what aren’t you into? Sorry if some (or all) of these are your favorite.

Quote012

“I’m no writer, but if I were, it seems to me I’d want to poke my head up every once in a while and take a look around; see what’s going on. It’s life, Jake. You can miss it if you don’t open your eyes.”
~Benjamin Sisko, Star Trek: Deep Space 9

Thing Thursday: Keychains

Two keychains I purchased during the Brickfair yardsale. I can’t wait to hang them up to display them in my LEGO loft!

Wildcard Wednesday: Darth Vader Cleans Up

This might be old news by the time it finally hits my blog (I schedule posts way ahead of time!), but apparently Darth Vader has adopted a stretch of highway to clean up near my old stomping grounds. Henry Wakley, a school bus driver, adopted the highway in Blacksburg in Darth Vader’s name. Not only does the sign give one a chuckle, but he actually goes out to clean the area wearing a Darth Vader mask. How much fun would that be to see as you’re driving by?

When I was at Virginia Tech, my adopted highway with the honors community service group wasn’t too far from this particular road. So it’s great to see the program still at work and that someone is putting fandom to good use!

Thing Thurs… Tuesday?

Now in my kitchen, yesterday was Tuesday, but today is Tuesday too!
