Throwback Thursday

You know, I think I might need some help coming up with Throwbacks. While I still have some ideas buried deep in my brain....I doubt I'll be able to keep this up forever.

I think it's fun coming up with something that might not be well known to everyone, but today's throwback should be known by every child of the 80s. (At least I really hope so.)

I'm not sure if my throwback is Sean Astin or Goonies, but tell me you remember this movie! It was a silly, dangerous adventure, and the kids saved the Goondocks!

The reason I'm picking this is....Songbird and I will be taking a short trip to Columbus tomorrow to attend Wizard World Ohio. In the last few days, some new faces have been added to the roster....one being Sean Astin. Really? Mikey? Rudy? Samwise Gamgee?? I have to admit, I had a bit of a crush on Mr. Astin in my youth and I'm sure there will be some giddiness if I get to see him in person. I mean we're called Blatant Geekery for a reason. I'm not embarassed.

We will not be discussing the fact that the BUCKEYES will be playing at the Shoe WHILE I'm in the same city! WHY???? The only football team I have any interest in, and I'll be so close yet so far away. I'll just have to listen to Hang On Sloopy and maybe try to walk outside during a break.

That being said, we will most likely not have a Fangirl Favorite tomorrow...but we plan to have an update of our weekend after we get back.

Later Geeks!

I'm Gonna Hack You In Two With A Hatchet

No, this week's TBT is not a horror flick. This just happens to be one of the most hilarious lines from a little known made for tv movie called Camp Cucamonga. For some reason, it's always been a family favorite. We were all able to get together this past weekend to celebrate my mother's birthday and there were several references, including part of the rap from the movie. Yup...that's just the kind of family we are. The movie was released for television in September of 1990 basically just to display a plethora of popular television actors of the time, but ended up being a quality product despite some of the cheese. The title was briefly changed to How I Spent My Summer, but now can be found again under the original title. The all-star cast included Candace Cameron (Full House) and Jaleel White (Family Matters), which covered our TGIF days. Then we have Josh Saviano and Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years. We also get to see heartthrob Chad Allen from My Two Da...

Busy Weekend!

I have an announcement to make. I am pretty sure I am nearly the worst blogger. Between kids sports and currently being stuck in a Netflix black hole with Arrow....I just can't get AHEAD. Anyway, that being said, this weekend has got an awful lot of nerdy stuff going on, and I wanted to give you a quick rundown. Saturday, May 3rd Free Comic Book Day. FREE COMIC BOOKS??? Go to the Free Comic Book Day page to find a participating store near you each locations rules. There is a free book for EVERY taste. My boys plan on grabbing Teen Titans Go and I'm hoping to get Guardians of the Galaxy and check out some of their multi comic bundles. Oh, I almost forgot about the FCBD HeroClix that my oldest can't wait to get his hands on!!! The local store we'll be stopping at tomorrow has artists stopping in, a photo op area, and pop up Hydra themed bar! Saturday, May 4th Star Wars Day. May the 4th Be With You! Check starwars.com for sales, games and events near you...

And They Lived Geekily Ever After

So it's not Friday quite yet, but I wanted to write about a cool blog that I stumbled upon. I had seen some things from her on Pinterest, but just located the blog today and as I'm working on planning my own happily ever after, I thought I'd share some of the neat ideas. Every geek couple is different. We all have our fandoms and sometimes we're lucky enough to share them with our significant other. I'm a Marvel girl and my man is DC, but somehow we make it work. :) Anyway, there's a good chance that there will be several geeky elements in our wedding...it's just who we are. I think we'll probably be more subtle about it, but it will most certainly be there. If you're reading this blog, chances are you're a geek, too. Hopefully you've found someone who you will share that with you. If you're thinking about getting yourself a permanent player 2, you should check out When Geeks Wed . Cassandra features weddings from every fandom. Whethe...
