So Christmas is coming up in like, 10 days. Oh, Boy! People keep asking me what I want for Christmas, so here is goes!
- Any Shadowrun book! My Saturday gaming group just switched over to playing Shadowrun and I am hooked! I have the core book, but why just have that when there are SO many others to add cool stuff with! Shadowrun is a post-apocalyptic world set in Seattle (woot! woot!) and there is technology and magic involved and it’s pretty awesome! Think Ghost in the Shell.
- Disneyland Adventures Kinect Game! I tried this game out at this year’s (2011) PAX Prime and it was a lot of fun! Now, this isn’t just a game for me, either, it’s for the whole family, so I like that too! This game was a ton of fun, because you got to travel around the park, meet up with characters and have a lot of fun! My 7 year old will love this game too!
- Sesame Street’s Once Upon a Monster! Okay, again I know, a kid game, but it’s the only game that my 2 & 1/2 year old can really attempt to play for the Kinect and she wants to play SO badly! Sometimes, watching your kids have fun with a video game is a gift enough! This game will teach Sarah to make up stories and she can interact with her favorite characters, Elmo, Cookie Monster and Abby Cadaby! Every time she sees the commercial for this, she goes nuts!
- The Hunger Games series. Okay, so I really just need the last book, but if you haven’t read them, you should! This series is the first in a long time to really captivate me, and it’s a kid/teen series too. I am not a big fan of this demographic when it comes to novels, but this series hooked me. Plus there is the movie version of the first book coming out in March. Check out the trailer!
- Any Terry Prachett Discworld book. I have played the game and it was fun, so when I found out that it was based on a series of books, I got very excited!
- My friends and family to be happy. (I know, it’s a little Miss America sounding!) My friends and I have had a crazy year and I just want it to end on a good note!
So whether I get any of these things or not, I hope that I helped you find a few gift ideas and I hope that most of all you enjoy Christmas or Hanukkah with your friends and family. The most important gift to me is seeing my friends and family happy!
And the winner of the We’ve Jumped the Shark Too Many Times goes to…Grey’s Anatomy! I live in the
Suck it Grey's!
Seattle area and this show is starting to make me hate it!
First it was a ferry crash. Okay, really? I commuted to Downtown Seattle via ferry for awhile and never had a ferry crash. The worst that happened in the last 10 years is a bump into the docks due to technical malfunction. Only the docks got a little bit of damage, no people were injured.
There have been others that have been tolerable, but this last shark jumping of a giant sinkhole? Really!!!
No, theoretically this could happen as part of the Seattle waterfront is built on piers, but the likelihood of such a sinkhole is pretty slim! Now, Port Orchard which is across the Puget Sound from Seattle had a sinkhole occurrence in 2007 due to massive flooding. (For more info on that click here.) Part of Port Orchard is built up on piers much like Seattle, however the damage shown on Grey’s was ridiculous compared to what actually occurred in Port Orchard.
So needless to say, I am so sick of the crap drama and the crap disasters that are really starting to make Washington, especially the Puget Sound area look like a dangerous pit fall. Thanks Grey’s, you suck! Can Seattle Grace transfer to another state please! Quit making ours look bad with your bs natural disasters and hospital shootings. As far as I can see in my research online, there were no hospital shootings in the state of Washington in the last 5 years, so thanks Grey’s for scaring the public!
While I can’t deter my husband from watching this crap sandwich with a side of crap, I will not be watching it anymore. Goodbye Grey’s have a nice shark jumping BS filled life!

Today we (the family and I) spent the day at Emerald City Comicon. We had a great time! I took a lot of great cosplay photos and the costumes were amazing! I also got some great interviews with some really awesome people!
So, as I am now dead on my feet, I will be showcasing the videos and cosplay photos throughout the rest of the weekend and the week!
Some of the people that I interviewed were Adam WarRock, a comic book based hip hop artist! His music rocks! I’m not normally a big hip hop listener, but Adam, I am a HUGE fan now!!!
I also spoke with the guys at Comic Geek Speak, they were friendly, funny and just plain fun! They guys at Comic Geek Speak run a daily podcast about comics and all things comic related. I consider them an authority on all things comic!
There are many people I interviewed at Emerald City Comicon, so make sure to tune in!

This weekend is Emerald City Comicon and I will be there! I will be floating around talking with cosplay characters, with artists and authors and the general public about what they think of the Con and what they are looking forward to!
I am looking forward to seeing not only William Shatner, but Wil Wheaton (an ECC regular) as well! Emerald City has a great media and artist line up this year and I am looking forward to it! If you are going to be there on Saturday, make sure to say hey! I put my pic at the bottom, so you know what I look like, I will also has my hubby and kiddos with me as well. (My kiddos are old pros at the Con scene with Emerald City and PAX each year!) Make sure to get tickets to the James Marsters/Kracklefest for Saturday night as well!
Emerald City is also hosting 2 members of the cast of Fringe (nerdgasm here!), John Noble (Dr. Walter Bishop/Walternate) and Jasika Nicole (Astrid)! Also, 3, that’s right 3, cast members of The Guild! Last year Emerald City had the whole cast, except for Felicia Day, aka Codex (who had to cancel due to a movie shoot), but this year, she’s here! Along with Amy Akuda, aka Tinkerballa, & Wil Wheaton who is now known on The Guild as Fawkes the evil but willing to hook up with Codex character!
So make sure to check out Emerald City this weekend! You will not be disappointed!

I recently bought the first six Star Trek movies on Blu-Ray and am enjoying them, except for Star Trek the Motion Picture. My question is how many Trekkies actually like this movie? I know that there is some debate over whether this is a good Trek movie. The costumes suck, the plot sucks and it is pretty much painful to watch. But I am bound and determined to finish this movie (even if I wish that I were kidnapped by V-ger!)!
So, please tell me what it is about this particular movie that I should like, find interesting, etc.
(Oh, and by the way, if you are in the Seattle area, William Shatner will be at Emerald City Comicon the first weekend of March!)
