So my sister got married on the third. Which meant we got to go out to CA for the event. (I was a bridesmaid.) The family part of the trip is covered on Facebook, and elsewhere, because this is not a family oriented sort of blog, but the BF and I did […]
Ok, I freely admit, the Nikki Heat books are not high art. But they’re really fun to read, and they’re getting better the further into the series they get. This book delves into the mystery of Nikki’s mother’s murder. Granted, that’s supposed to be modeled on Beckett’s mother’s murder on the show, but they take

Yes, I am enough of a Castle fangirl that I’ve been reading the novels that Castle has written on the show. (I am not so much of a fangirl that I buy them before they hit the bargain bin…) First thing to know about these books: they are much more fun if you watch the

Anyone who watched the show Firefly, the rather tragically cut short space western created by Joss Whedon, is familiar with the character of Shepherd Book. Book very clearly had a back story that involved somehow being deeply involved with the Republic, which was naturally never explored when the show wasn’t allowed past a first season.

Castle is one of my favorite shows on television right now. Mostly because I love Nathan Fillion, and will probably watch anything he’s in until he’s old, gray and toothless. Naked Heat was one of my Christmas presents. It’s the second book supposedly written by Richard Castle in the course of the “research” that keeps

Just wrapped up my rewatch of Doctor Who series 3, and upon reflection, I think this may be my favorite series, on the strength of a couple of stellar episodes. 2023 Note: We’re currently in the middle of rewatching this season, and were commenting on how weak it is because when it’s good, it’s very,

I finally finished Series 2 of what’s turning out to be a rather protracted Doctor Who-athon. I managed to watch all five seasons of Babylon 5 last holiday season, but Doctor Who’s taking me a bit longer. I found myself feeling rather nostalgic during this run, especially when they announced the casting of the eleventh

In a fit of extreme brain-deadedness (the only coworker that shares my job full time has been on vacation for the past two weeks, and by the end of it, I was getting a little behind, and a little tired…), I managed to watch the entire first series of Doctor Who in two nights. (Well,

Ok, I’ve figured out exactly why I love Ravelry so much. In the midst of doing a little recon work on Alex O’Loughlin of Moonlight (because he’s so pretty, and last Friday’s episode was just so nice in a lovely, good cheesily romantic way!), just for kicks, I checked to see if there’s a Moonlight

I’d been pretty good at keeping up with my reviews of the Jane Austen-fest on PBS, but a got a little behind with the last few, now that it’s spring, and I’ve had to DVR them rather than watching them all when they aired. Ms. Austen Regrets disappeared into the black hole of the DVR,
