How Does a Girl Get Joost?

Seriously, I have searched the web over and am not feeling the love of a Joost invite. So, here it is, I will beg.

Please oh Please, any true geeks that come across my prose, support the cause of a girl looking to get her geek on and try out this latest bastion of entertainment at the click of a button!

Did that work? Only time will tell. I will however, be glad to send props to the proper person if I am graced with one of these much coveted invites.

For those of you reading this and wondering what the heck I'm talking about, though I'm inclined to believe I'm the last geek to this particular dance party--Joost is an interactive way to enjoy television. While it may not have all the television shows from around the worl it has a fairly vast selection of programming, extras, and more importantly the ability to watch your favorite shows (providing of course they are included at this point in time) on your timeline rather than that of the networks. I have several shows that I love to watch but do not always mesh with my hectic schedule. Joost would fix that problem and if I missed part of my favorite show I can just watch it over again to get the entire story unlike regular television.

For anyone that is a television junkie, this is definitely the wave of the future. There are plans for Joost to go public, which means that everyone will get the chance to join. I'm just impatient (dancing around on tippy toes still begging for invites)! So, if someone out there manages to wrangle an invite after reading this, please remember your source of information and send one my way?

Okay, for now the begging session is over. Hopefully there will be good news in the pipelines. TTFN!

300 Debuts and Battlestar Galactica Leaves fans Reeling

For my early morning update I have to say that today is the big day: 300 arrives in theaters and while I can't wait to see it, I will have to. It would seem that there are no baby sitters available this weekend and while it does appear to be an awesomely cool movie this is definitley not one that I would put in the books as kid friendly. I have a sneaky suspicion that all the usual sitters have weekend plans to see 300 themselves. Perhaps in a few weeks I will get the opportunity to see for myself this movie I've been raving about for months.

If you haven't been watching Battlestar Galactica on Sci Fi I'm not sure you have the right to call yourself a bona fide geek. However, it is not too late. You can catch up on all this seasons episodes through ITunes and there still remain a few more great episodes coming up. Trust me girls, there is some can't miss eye candy in these episodes, don't for one second think that the guys are the only ones getting a good view with this series.

I know that many of you out there were dismayed at the new series and are boycotting. However, I feel that you are robbing yourself of an excellent series that is very different from the original. This is both good and bad in many ways. But I find the depth of characters in this movie is something that was somewhat lacking in the version of my childhood. I also love the fact that they made Starbuck a female. I will admit that at first I was stunned to say the least but she grew on me. I will go no further without revealing spoilers but if you missed this week's episode "Maelstrom" you need to go and download it right now. Do not pass go. You should also take this opportunity to check out the feature on SciFi.com to make your own Battlestar Video. It is a great way to kill an hour or four and good for a few laughs.

While I am quite certain that I could go on and on about all the great things happening in geekdom across the country and around the world this seems to be a great stoppping point for the night/morning. TTFN!

Making Changes

It is probably more than slightly obvious to anyone that occasionally drops in to read that this little project of mine has been sadly neglected. I plan to change this in coming months by making this a site that will appeal a little to the geek in all of us. I hope to include gaming updates for both computer games and role playing games, information about our favorite Sci Fi television shows and movies, as well as keep you updated on the latest and greatest and girly gadgetry to hit the market. I would like this be a fun place to visit on your weekly stop as well as a font of information to those who lack the time or the inclination to surf the web for piles of information when they can come to one nifty little nook on the net in order to find it. I will be updating more regularly in the future and hope that some of you who visit will become loyal readers and engage in thoughtful conversation. TTFN!
