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.

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...

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 b...

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...
