Saturday Snippet: Work

All work and no play leaves me cranky, but at the very least I see light at the end of the tunnel!

Working Sunday tomorrow though, which is a bit of a bummer, but can't help it.

Tome Thursday: An Ideal Present

Hello everyone!

Back at it with books, and it's almost Christmas time! According to my advent calendar (Star Wars full of milk chocolate, if you please), after tomorrow there's only EIGHT MORE DAYS until Christmas eve!

Anyone else excited!?

It would be so cool if it snowed before then - apparently there are some forecasts that say we MIGHT be getting snow come next week, but I have this feeling it's going to be another green one as far as that goes. 

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas ... just like the ones I used to know ...

Ahem.

Which is kind of silly since I'll be talking about another Christmas-time book that definitely has no snow in it, but the sea and hot weather (hot guys, too, but, ya know).

Book two of Three Wise Men, An Ideal Present, here we go!

Talkie Tuesday: Hairspray Live

"Good morning, Baltimore!"

Hello everyone!

So every once in a while I run into something that makes me think: I need to see this.

Desperately. 

When news broke that Derek Hough had been cast as Corny Collins in the new rendition of Hairspray which would air during the holiday season, I did a little happy jig.

I will admit here and now that I'm a Hough fan, whether it's Julianne or Derek, and especially of Derek because I honestly think the man is an artistic genius. The choreography he can put together is spectacular, either in it's complexity or simplicity, and I've loved watching him on Dancing with the Stars.

Ergo, I was sold on watching Hairspray Live! before they even released news about who would play Tracy or Link or anyone else.

Honestly, you'd think that I would have at least waited until the trailer, but nope, my excitement levels were high even before that.

Login Issues

Seriously.

The fact that I couldn't log into a fanfiction site for SIX MONTHS even though I had the right password was beyond frustrating. To top it off, however, I actually MANAGED it tonight after, wait for it, requesting a password reminder to my email account (which I also had to unearth, natch).

Of course, afterwards, it worked.

Say what, please?!

Tome Thursday: The Perfect Gift

Hello everyone!

It's time for yet another book blog, and as with the two previous ones, this is going to be a Christmas-oriented piece.

I'm feeling festive considering the fact that I've managed to finish my Christmas shopping earlier today so now all I have to do is wait for the day to arrive so that I can stick the parcels under the tree and watch my family's rections!

Whew.

I have to say, the shopping trip was far less painful than it used to be, but maybe that was because I had company, or maybe I'd finished half of it already so it was only a matter of hashing out some details? Possibly.

In any event, I digress, and terribly so.

The book I'm going to talk about is the one that first got me into reading more work from this particular author, and is titled The Perfect Gift, by Serenity Woods.

Talkie Tuesday: Victoria's Secret 2016

"The biggest fashion show on Earth."

Hello everyone!

So this Tuesday's blog is a little bit different because it's not going to be about a movie or a TV show, even though I have way too many of those to catch up on and to write about. Oops. What can I say, I'm a bit of an addict here! 

But no.

Tonight I'm going to be talking about, what the quote up there says: the biggest fashion show on Earth.

I'm talking about Victoria's Secret, of course.

I got into watching the annual shows VERY late in the game, a couple of years back, because a friend of mine showed me some videos and the like, and I liked the production of it all (also, the models are gorgeous, let's be honest here, every girl gets a hit on her self-esteem when they show up, but I mean, what can you do?).

So instead of chattering on about an action movie or a comedy or even Timeless, I'm just going to dive right in, and talk about fashion tonight.

DCs Cross-over Event: Heroes v Aliens

"Best. Team-up. EVER."

Hello everyone!

So, like I promised this past Tuesday, I switched up the line-up for my blog posts because of the awesome and amazing thing that was happening during the week. Because why would I want to spend a long time developing and writing a blog post about a movie that can wait when we had that cross-over to look forward to?

Okay, yes, heads up, I'm a DC comics fan. And a Marvel fan.

I am firmly convinced you can like both and not have to glare daggers at either camps because, let's face it, all the superheroes and villains in there are for our entertainment.

They probably wouldn't want to be the cause of disputes (if they were real!).

But then I can totally hear Mick Rory already snarling a very trademark 'Speak for yourself!'

Anyway, as you can tell, I'm a fan, I geeked out this week while it was happening, and now that it's over and done with I can finally review it!

Beam me up, Scotty!
