My love of basketball goes way back... While I've never played anything beyond H-O-R-S-E, I've always enjoyed watching. Occasionally I've tuned into some WNBA games, and NBA exhibition type stuff, but mostly I love watching the Boston Celtics on the court. Though I wasn't watching for this game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4fTjcJwImw I did get to see... Continue Reading →
No surprise to anyone that knows me that I heart Neil Gaiman. I will even admit there was a microt of time I wished I’d read Stardust before our son Tristan was born (and figured Tristran would put him on equal footing with his sisters Ciara and Caillean *grin*). I will admit that when I... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in the previous Fandom Friday, I've been on a quest to find easy, no-to-low yeast bread recipes. In the no-yeast category, I found a couple of Irish Soda Bread recipes that were close, but not quite, to what I wanted (yeah, me, the inexperienced baker, critiquing recipes - I'm such a brat!)....

About a year and a half ago, I went in search of a recipe for the eldest, after we figured out she had a sensitivity to yeast, and a craving for freshly baked bread. I started making a traditional Irish bread, without the currents and caraway seeds, which was a big hit with the two... Continue Reading →
If Wonder Woman, Nancy Drew, and Emma Peel got together and had a child, that bouncing baby girl would look an awful lot like Agent Carter (not to mention, being a Marvel of science). Red hats are cool The premise, from Wikipedia - In 1946, Peggy Carter must balance the routine office work she does... Continue Reading →
With the popularity of Pitch Perfect (and the upcoming, inventively named Pitch Perfect 2), I'm guessing most people default to the Barden Bellas when mention of a female a cappella group comes up. I'm willing to bet about ten seconds after you start listening to the Balkan folk singing trio known as Black Sea Hotel,... Continue Reading →
Happy Friday the 13th! In honor of this lucky day, and to help justify my latest obsession... err, I mean, hobby, I'm sharing thirteen of my favorite and most recent bird photos (out of the approximately three hundred on my computer). See, kids - Mommy doesn't need an intervention, and she's not a crazy bird... Continue Reading →
Yes, I heart Galavant! No, I don't mean like gallivanting, though I still have a fondness for gadding about when I have the time and energy (okay, so it's more like wishful thinking at this point in my life *grin*). I'm talking about the miniseries (now available for free on Hulu), Galavant. Take Robin Hood:... Continue Reading →
Even though Bill Belichick did everything possible to get people to stop focusing on the rEdelculousness that is #DeflateGate (nope, not gonna link it), even going so far as to call in a wicked big blizzard to give the newscasters something else to talk about, it's still won't die down. Here are a few more... Continue Reading →
I wicked love the Patriots. Love, love, LOVE the Patriots. And not just because it's required by law for us New Englandahs, either. Given that there is currently a reGRONKulous amount of Pat Hate going on, I figured it was a great time to declare my affections. The upside to the gnashing of teeth is... Continue Reading →
There have been many Harrys in my life. The real Harry Houdini and his Hollywood counterpart, Dirty Harry, Harry Anderson (aka Harry the Hat and Harry T. Stone), and more recently, Harry Potter. But the Harry I love far above the rest (please don’t tell the others) is the literary character Harry Dresden, professional wizard.... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in my Christmas Eve blog, this Fandom Friday is focusing on my favorite digital artist, Vladislav Gerasimov. I don't remember exactly when I first stumbled upon his website, Vladstudio, but I know exactly how long I've had my lifetime membership (thank you, Google email search). On Sunday, March 16th, 2008, I spent... Continue Reading →
