Fangirl Friday and a Special Message

I'm skipping our Throwback this week and getting a bit of an early start on our Friday Favorite. I have to begin by saying "Happy Birthday" to our very own Songbird! I've left her an extra special gift above.

My favorite this week was a discovery thanks to the people over at Think Geek. They tweeted an adorable R2D2/C3PO Best Friends necklace that I had to look at. I followed the links to an Etsy store, "RapscallionDesign". I tell you what, if I hadn't already bought Songbird's gift (from Superherostuff) I would have bought something here in a second. The shop owner's name is Amy and she's described her stuff as, "Cute, Creepy & Geeky Polymer Clay Jewelry and stickers". I have always been a bit jealous of the people that can craft something so detailed out of polymer clay, and Amy is reeeeallly good at it.

OK, so my favorite. It's really hard to pick one thing cause everything is so adorable and geeky, but....I really want this R2D2 Cameo. However, I really love all her Wookie designs and the wicked cool Death Star locket!

Since originally the photo that got me here was a Best Friends necklace, I feel I must choose one of them for Songbird and I. Christmas gifts, maybe?

A zombie inspired pair of hearts. Creepy, but so cute! I like that apart they are complete necklaces.

Also in the store are "Peas & Carrots", "Poo & Pee", and "PB&J". So, go! Support this small business and buy something geeky for someone you care about!
Be sure to leave a comment here go to our Twitter page and wish Songbird a very Happy Birthday!
Check back this weekend, cause I'll be wrapping up my New Fall Shows for my DVR list.

Thundercats, HOOOOOOO!

I miss Thundercats. That was a quality Saturday morning cartoon. It ran from 1985-1989. Yes, that hit me at ages 1-5, but I enjoyed watching it then and reruns later on. My brother had some pretty sweet Lion-o and Snarf figurines. The occupants of Thundera evacuate before the planet and all but one of the escape ships were destroyed. The Thundercats were all that remained and they set a course for Third Earth where they crash. With the help of his "Sword of Omens", Lion-o gives the Thundercats a chance against Mumm-Ra and the evil mutants. This cartoon was so freaking cool that it has been referenced in all sorts of pop culture avenues. The Band Reliant K has a song called I'm Lion-o , which is such a fun song to jam to. If you were a fan of Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Emails, Thundercats is referenced in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5: 8 Bit Is Enough . The series was rebooted in 2011 and was a combination of anime and western ani...

It's Throwback Thursday Time!

This week for Throwback Thursday, I'm taking you to camp...Space Camp. I grew up watching this movie and I love rewatching it every once in a while just to reminisce. Since I only ever went to church camp, it's kind of fun to see a bunch of nerdy kids getting to go to camp together. The movie never really got great reviews. In fact, they usually stayed around the area of about 40-50% approval. I think part of that had to do with the Challenger space shuttle catastrophe of 1986. Unfortunately, the tragedy didn't end as well as the movie. The release date was pushed back several months due to that, but even when released, the public didn't respond well to the reminder of the events. All things considered, I think it's still a great geek movie. Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Joaquin Phoenix (then known as Leaf) Kate Capshaw, Tom Skerrit, Tate Donovan and Larry B. Scott are the lead characters in this movie. Andie, a NASA astronaut who has never actually been in spac...

Wouldn't You Think I'm The Girl, The Girl Who Has Everything

I was fortunate enough to grow up during the "Disney Renaissance". During this period we saw films like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. BUT my very favorite of all the movies that came out during this time was The Little Mermaid. I received the movie for my sixth birthday and that was one of my favorite presents. Some of my fondest memories include reenacting scenes from the movie with my friends. I still know every word to every song, and on occasion, like to see if I can get my hair to look like this in the bathtub. ---> Don't judge me. She had fabulous hair. Seriously...what what woman has not wanted that sexy, red hair? LOVE. Today, you can find The Little Mermaid Diamond Edition at your local store. I'm not sure why they chose to release it now instead of next year, which would have marked the 25th anniversary, but you won't catch me complaining. I'm more than happy to have this available on Blu-Ray. I hear that the digital enhanc...
