Why SyFy Needs a Eureka Moment

If you are a geek, the news that SyFy cancelled Eureka probably isn’t news anymore (If it is, well, better we ripped that band-aid off before you kept reading). And you likely know that the PTBs have “graciously” granted the show an extra episode in it’s sixth season to wrap everything up. Which, quite frankly,…

What My Blog Has Taught Me So Far

Sorry if you looked for me at the end of last week. I got slammed with a summer cold and decided to take Thursday and Friday off. But I didn’t waste that time away, in fact I thought a lot about my blog and what I want it to become. For those of you that…

Humpday Links for August 17

It’s that time again, gentles! Have a whole mess of links to get you through to the weekend. And while you’re checking these out I’m going to work out for a while. – It’s no secret by now that Eureka has been cancelled. It’s almost like SyFy is Fox’s little brother, imitating in the hopes…

Back on the Fitness Train!

It wasn’t so long ago that I wrote a pretty compelling (if I do say so myself) post regarding my ongoing fitness. And I’d love to report that everything fell into place and here I am, coming up on three months later, and I am down x lbs…but I can’t. Because I’m not. I’m actually…

What I’m Watching, in Brief

For some mysterious reason our internet connection was severed yesterday and came back just as mysteriously this morning. So I apologize for my blog-silence yesterday; I trust that you all somehow soldiered on without me. There has been a fair-to-moderate amount of hullabaloo surrounding television lately; new shows, new seasons of old shows, cancelled shows…

Humpday Links for August 10

Welcome to your regularly scheduled Humpday Links! After combing the Internet Super-Highway, I think I have assembled the cream of the geeky-link crop.

Three Ways to Start Getting Gamer Fit!

It is no secret that many table-top gamers are, let us say, big boned. Husky. Jabba-esque. Fat. There, I said it. I’m not judging, I’m about 100lbs north of my ideal weight my ownself. It isn’t hard to see how it happens. Sitting around, shovelling in junk food, and gaming til all hours does not…

Animethon Wrap-up!

If you swung by the site Sunday looking for an Animethon Day 2 post, my apologies. Due to a combination of illness and staying up Saturday night gaming until 2am, I not only didn’t get back to Animethon on Sunday, but I pretty much spent the day sleeping/dozing on the couch. So today, which was…

Weekend at Animethon: Day 1

Day One of Animethon complete! As first days go this was a pretty good one; a few bobbles along the way but nothing that won’t be smoothed out (hopefully) for Days 2 and 3. I got to the Registration line at about 9:35 this morning, and there was a fairly healthy line. Not Gen Con…

Animethon: Prologue

This morning will feature a criminally short post, as I ready myself to attend Animethon for the weekend. I will, however, post a daily round-up of everything I take in over the weekend. So do pop back Saturday and Sunday to get my latest updates on the anime goings-on. For those not in the know,…
