Notes from the ‘Net – Mixed Bag Edition

So this weekend brought both sad tidings and good news about new projects in the nerd pop world. First the sad: Grace Lee Whitney, best known for her role as Yeoman Janice Rand in the first season of Star Trek has passed away at age 85. Stories differ, but while she was most likely fired […]

Notes From the ‘Net: Parody Edition

Judging from the fact that I’ve received it from a couple of different sources already, I expect many of you have already seen this totally awesome video since it made it’s appearance a few days back: If not, give it a look, I’ll wait. Done? Excellent. This is so dead-on, that were it not for […]

Galaxy Jane Cruises On Rollerblades: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Skinned Knees

For those who think this is outside my blog’s purview, I want to point out that it is technically about travel. I might not have traveled far, but, if you count shanks mare, it even involves two different modes of transportation. So there. I need to get my butt in gear and make some desperately […]

Sad week for B-Movie fans

Just saw that we lost Robert Z’Dar, he of the massive jaw, Monday night. He’s probably best known for his turns as the titular Maniac Cop, but he turned his unusual looks (the result of cherubism) into an asset, playing villains in an astounding number of (mostly B, but sometimes mainstream) films over the years. […]

Wonder Woman Bonus Feature: Who’s Afraid of Diana Prince

Hey all, no full movie review this week as my usual movie watching night went a bit squirrelly. And by a bit squirrelly, I mean it involved having a kid vomit on my socks from over 8 feet away. So here’s a bonus follow-up on my Three Faces of Wonder Woman series (Part 1 here, […]

Wow! Thoughts on my first blogging award.

I was so excited today to see that sillisoup has nominated me for a Liebster award. Apparently this is an award for new or small bloggers (200 followers or less) and as a recipient, I am to answer ten questions about myself, propose ten new questions for the next nominees and nominate ten other bloggers […]

Questionable Life Choices – A Prompt Response

Yeah, that pun sucks. Anyway.

So I am trying to be good and do my Blogging 101 projects, in hopes of figuring out how to do this whole ‘having a blog’ thing in such a way that I’ll attract thousands of devoted followers who actually like reading my trivia-laden maunderings, but today’s assignment “Make a Prompt Personal” prompted nothing in me but feelings of rebellion at being chivvied into the sort of middle school write-what-I-tell-you-instead-of-what-you-like BS that made me think I hated writing for years. So I pissed around for ages (rather like I would have done in middle school) hitting the random button over and over until I found something I could steer back towards the stuff I write about instead. Because 1) everything is about me, I am the center of my universe, and 2) what the hell is the purpose of posting something totally outside the scope of my blog if I want a site that works as a whole? Anyhoo, without further ado and only a modicum of passive-aggressive resentment…

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Google and Rescue Operation.”

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

Um, well, you see, um, I still have to finish the third part of my series on the television history of Wonder Woman (parts 1 and 2 here) and I was having some folks over for a stitch and bitch and we were watching real Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter, duh) and I just couldn’t handle the pain of the NBC pilot again without moral support and so I wanted everyone else to cuss the TV with me and, to make a long story short (too late!), I ended up having to spend several minutes and a number of fruitless preliminary attempts searching to find a site that still had the 2011 version available for streaming.

Everyone hated it as much as I did, which was nice. We thought what it really needed was a counter in the upper right corner that could total up each felony that Diana Themiscyra committed during the course of the episode. The worst part is that I then forgot to bookmark the site, so I’ll have to do the same thing all over again later tonight so I can take the notes I need for this week’s article. Because this is the sort of stuff I choose to blog on. And poor choices have consequences.

Notes From the ‘Net – The Moon is a Harsh Mistress to begin filming

Came across this while perusing the ‘net this afternoon and can only say that I hope they do it better justice than they did the woefully mischaracterized cinematic abortion that was Starship Troopers. Bryan Singer to direct adaptation of Heinlein’s The Moon is a Harsh Mistress I’ll admit to mixed feelings over this one. Heinlein’s […]
