Fangirl Favorites

My Fangirl Favorite this week is from Think Geek.  I don't know...maybe it's just because the computer at work is totally infected with a bunch of spyware junk and there are creepy, flashing ads that try to send me into epileptic fits, but I love the idea of this product...not to mention the fact that they are all stinking
adorable.

You just plug it into your USB port and it will clean up your computer for you!  Now instead of being the girl (or guy) who fixes everyone's computer, you can hand them one of these awesome little guys and be done with it.  Jumpshot will kill viruses, spyware, scamware, trojans, etc!  It will keep your identity safe and keep your online habits private.  It'll take out the trash and clean up your hard drive...and these are just a few things it can do.  If you don't like what it has done, you can always click the undo button and go back to your previous settings.  You can only scan your computer with it twice, but if you want more coverage, you can get Jumpshot's subscription service.  It's only $59 a year, and you get unlimited scans on 5 different computers AND you can give unlimited single scans as gifts to your friends.  If you don't get the unlimited scans, you still have 8GB of storage space on your little guy after you've used your two scans, so he'll still be useful.

You have three super fun options.  I think my favorite is Sir Jeffrey.  He's an octopus who wears a top had, sophisticated looking mustache, and monocle.  He's like a little blue Rich Uncle Pennybags!  My second favorite is Officer Pete.  He kinda looks like Admiral Ackbarwith a mustache and dressed as a police officer.  For that reason, I think he's pretty great. There's also a ninja named Kobayashi. Just remember that these are for Windows PCs.  

System Requirements: Internet connection, at least 512MB of RAM, and any of the following versions of Windows: XP, 2003, Vista, 7, or 8.

Avengers

This week's Throwback doesn't go back all that far. It takes us to the days when Avengers was filming in Cleveland. My sister was fortunate to spot Joss Whedon downtown one day, and shortly thereafter, we decided to head to Cleveland to see what we could see.   Most of the filming didn't start until evening, so we got there around 7 or 8pm. Everything was blocked off and there were so many people standing around trying to catch a glimpse of someone famous. Thankfully, most of those people weren't in it for the long haul. Graphics Girl and I ended up sitting there until everyone else had gone and all the drunkards came stumbling out of all the local bars. It was so much fun to see everything happening. We were watching the filming of everything happening outside of the opera house and biergarten. We were able to see a bit of Chris Evans (who was under heavy guard and had to wear a big cape until he was actually shooting), and LOTS of Tom Hiddleston and his body doub

Maybe a Matthew Broderick Throwback Series?

Last Friday night while scanning Netflix for a throwback from my list to rewatch, I found a great 80s classic with Matthew Broderick.  BEFORE his memorable role as Ferris Bueller, he starred as a computer genius named David in War Games. War Games takes place in the 80s during the Cold War. After a failed launch exercise (featuring Mr. Blonde, Michael Madsen ) the US government is convinced that they should give control of the nuclear program to a computer. That is, until it's hacked by a high school kid. When David (Broderick) successfully accesses this super-computer, he's trying to get into the computer of a software company to play their latest game before it's released. He unknowingly begins a showdown between the US and Russia that could lead to World War III if he doesn't help stop it.  I am not going to go into what happens....just in case you haven't seen it or it's been a while for you. (I'd like to know what you guys think....in the futu

As You Wish

I’ve been feeling kind of crappy lately and I thought to myself, “There’s only one movie that can pick me up right now.”   Though I didn’t have a grandfather to take care of me and read me stories when I was sick, there’s still something about watching The Princess Bride when you’re not feeling up to par.   That combined with the fact that the interwebs are buzzing about The Princess Bride heading to Broadway made this a perfect Throwback for this week. I remember when I was in the fifth grade we would, on occasion, have a “movie day” on Friday.   I convinced everyone that there was this great movie we NEEDED to watch.   I knew it line for line.   (Sadly, I forgot about the “I want my father back you SOB” line until it was right upon us and had to jump up to fast-forward it…oops.)   I don’t know if any of my friends remember watching it then.   It seems like it has a much bigger following these days, but that could just be because I was 9 and didn’t know any b
