I know I've mentioned my love of cookies in a previous post, but since today is National Cookie Day, I thought it would be a sweet idea to mention it again. And by mention, I mean share a recipe for one of my all time favorite cookies to make during the holiday season. I found... Continue Reading →
As NaNoWriMo winds to a close (I have just under five thousand words to go), I thought this quote would be appropriate for this Fandom Friday. I've paired these words of wisdom from Neil Gaiman with a picture I took last winter of a Tufted Titmouse (and yes, I'm five years old, and I giggle... Continue Reading →
This past Wednesday (November 18th) was the 30th anniversary of the publication of the first Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. Yes, I'm not ashamed to admit I'm old I used to read the newspaper all the time just for the comic section, and Calvin and Hobbes was one of my top, all time faves. The... Continue Reading →
Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of Sir Tim Berners-Lee's proposal for the entity we all know and love, called the World Wide Web. From the Nov. 12, 1990 (for the full text, click here) - HyperText is a way to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the... Continue Reading →
I can't believe I've done almost a years worth of Fandom Fridays, and haven't yet mentioned World of Warcraft! I've been playing since the second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King (so, around 2008-ish). We have a family guild called, "Unholy Humanity" because we acquired it, in-game, from someone selling it for gold (now, after... Continue Reading →
I absotively posilutely heart Halloween! I mean, what's not to love? I remember being told very early on by a variety of people that I was a "spooky child." All Hallows Eve for me was like a confirmation I wasn't alone in my spookiness. Besides, growing up in Magnolia, MA, a stone's throw away from... Continue Reading →
As of October 17th, 2015, it's official. The DubsmashWar winner is.... *drum roll* TEAM CARTER! https://twitter.com/DubSmashWar/status/655240573608062977 The official results, and all the videos are up on Crowdrise, host of DubSmashWar. However, I think it's okay for me to say that Team Carter raised $79,808 for STOMP OUT BULLYING! and Team Shield raised $75,257 for St.... Continue Reading →
I'm going to let another New England native do the talking for me about the beauties of Autumn. "Besides the Autumn poets sing A few prosaic days A little this side of the snow And that side of the Haze — A few incisive Mornings — A few Ascetic Eves — Gone — Mr. Bryant’s... Continue Reading →
DubsmashWar Round Three has begun! They've added another incentive to the voting public - every $25 donation enters you to win a video chat with either #TeamCarter or #TeamShield (depending on who you donated to). Not to mention, each $1 donation (which equals one vote) also puts you in the running for the grand prize... Continue Reading →
I'm taking a break from stalking social media, looking for pictures/video of the event that our eldest is currently attending, to bring you this super short Snoopy Fandom Friday. Today is the 65th anniversary of the Peanuts strip being published for the first time, with the beloved beagle making an appearance two days later. From... Continue Reading →
BAD G33k! I completely spaced the ongoing battle, and DubsmashWar Round Two began without me! Okay, so technically I have nothing to do with the Dubsmash, but still - I feel I've let my heroes down by not proclaiming to geek all and sundry that new Marvelousness had been posted. Once again, as I mentioned... Continue Reading →
I'm sure this comes as no big surprise, but Bewitched was one of my favorite shows growing up. In fact, my first attempt at writing a novel (I think I was all of thirteen) featured a girl named Samantha (although I considered using Tabitha - spelled the right way, so as not to annoy Elizabeth...
