5 Fandom Friday – My Super Fave Apps

/

I am a recent convert from an Apple iPhone 4s to a Samsung Galaxy s5 and I’m not sorry.   I’ve found that my functionality has increased with the Android operating system.  Plus who can resist an OS named “Kit Kat”? Shout out to The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick for organizing this! Here are the apps that I use and love: Instagram:  I don’t post as often as I’d like, but I love looking at the snippets of what other people are up to.  Whether it be beautiful fall trees are cute pets, Instagram is so much fun. FitBit:  As a stay at home mom, I don’t do as much walking around as I’d like unless I put my mind to it.  Luckily there’s the FitBit, a little device that clips onto your body that tracks your steps.  Everytime I look at my phone to see a cute pet pic… Continued

Gotham Recap – The Mask

/

  Note:  This is a quick slapdash, done on the fly.  It most definitely contains errors, which will be fixed in the future.  Thanks, though, for reading! The episode opens with some men in Wall Street clothes, fighting in an office where the lights are flickering. It’s pretty brutal and they are beating the crap out of each other using office supplies. The w inner hacks the loser with the blade from a paper cutter, the likes of which I haven’t seen in ages. Body on the docks. Nygma has all the answers and pulls a thumb out of the dead man’s mouth. Eck. Penguin stops some rich broad on the street and says she has a very nice brooch, and asks for it. Yeah. Next scene he’s giving the brooch to Fish and they seem to be playing nice with each other, but we know that’s a sham. Fish

5 Fandom Friday – Top Five Halloween Treats

/

For many parents, Halloween is the most tiring holiday.  Christmas is a close second, especially if you are traveling.  Costumes, parties, parades and trick or treating do take a toll on parental units. I mean, really, I could just go to the local Walgreens and buy all this same candy at 75 percent off the next day, right? However, children will be children and just as I had my Halloween, I try to give my children the same.  This year I have Gandalf, an 80s rock diva and a Black Knight to usher from house to house.  And since Daylight Savings Time is kinda late the year, it’s going to be dark early. But…..I get to be Nick Fury!! But let’s focus on the FUN!!!! I’m not a huge candy eater, but there are some candies that I cannot resist!     Nerds – Pink and Purple I love these

Gotham Recap: Spirit of the Goat

/

Opening Title: Gotham – Ten Years Ago A bald man pulls on leather gloves looking in a cloudy mirror in what looks like a flophouse. He’s whispering “I am the spirit of the goat” as he puts on a scary looking mask. Again, this is 8 pm folks!! Weirdo stuff happening even before Monday Night Football kicks off? Let’s see what goat man is up to. He punches the mirror. I guess he doesn’t know that means seven years of bad luck…but with the way he was carrying, I guess he doesn’t care. Some woman in a lux looking apartment gets kidnapped by the Goat. He says her name “Shelly.” People, lock your doors, okay? And get rid of the filmy looking curtains at the windows. Criminals love that crap. Cut to Harvey Bullock and his partner who already has a flask to his lips. This show is so fun,

Scary Movies that Made Me Laugh

/

It’s October, the time of the year where I watch scary movies either early in the morning, or from behind my husband’s shoulder at night.  But there are some movies that are so ridiculously silly they can’t even scare me.  I mean, really, Leprechaun? The Killer Shrews Just the title.  Killer.  Shrews.  At first glance, one would think it’s about a bunch of loud women on a killing spree, which you gotta admit, would be a lot scarier.  No, this movie is about actual shrews and how they kill. Oh, and making them GIANT shrews does not amp up the terror. I first saw this movie on Mystery Science Theatre 3k, which took any potential scariness right out of the picture.   The GingerDEAD Man Man, I’m laughing at the damn trailer.  And Gary Busey.  Why not just throw a glass of milk on this b*tch?  Shoot, water worked for
