The Sadist in Me

Yes, I do have a bit of a sadistic bent, particularly when it comes to love and love that has been lost along the way. With that in mind, I find the "Ex" Knife holder to be a must have gadget for the kitchen of every girl (geek or not) who has loved and lost. This is particularly true if it didn't end all too well. Take a look for yourself though and tell me I'm wrong.

The problem I have with this product is that there are no incantations to make sure the 'ex' in question feels the pain so to speak. Did I mention that I was a sadist? As far as knife holders go, this is an excellent conversation piece to include in your kitchen. I would refrain however from taking it to the office as it may raise a few questions. In fact, I would think a knife holder--particularly a loaded knife holder might raise more than a few questions. It would be fun however to see the look in some of your coworkers eyes though wouldn't it?

Last Chaos

Have I mentioned that I'm such a geek? Seriously, I don't think they make many girls that qualify on the geek scale quite to the extent that I seem to dominate that scale. This being said it is absolutely no wonder that I am seriously addicted to MMORPGs. That would be massively multiplayer online role playing games for the uninitiated. I love these games in all kinds of genres and settings. The problem is that if you are addicted to more than a couple it can grow to become quite an expensive habit to maintain. Enter Last Chaos. This is a free to download and free to play MMORPG for all who might be interested or those that are simply wondering what the fuss is all about. I hope those of you who check it out find as many hours of enjoyment in the land of online gaming as I have.

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!
