Five Characters I'd Love to be for Halloween

Here we are again for the Five Fandom Friday link up! I must say I am enjoying these little trips every week. Let’s get right to the chase, shall we? Here they are in no particular order. Captain Jack Sparrow – Pirates of the Caribbean movies How much fun would it be to be a pirate (in the movie world, of course, forget the killing and the shooting and the scurvy and terrible food). I loved the Pirate movies and remember the ride as a child at Disney World. The long coat, the beads and shoot, there’s even a purse! What’s not to like about this? Akasha, Queen of the Damned Just because… Aaliyah. What an awesome costume. Nuff said. Steampunk-ish Victorian All I would need is to add a pair of goggles and an umbrella! Poison Ivy Yeah, so maybe… Continued

5 Fandom Friday-Geek Clothes…Get in my Closet Now!

It’s that time of the week again, although I think I missed it by 24 hours or so. No matter. With a wrinkle in time (and backdating the publishing date), I can pop right back in time and pretend I’m posting this on a Friday when I was supposed to do it.

5 Fandom Friday – My Five Gateway Fandoms

Color me super excited! I am so pleased to throw my blog in the link-up with The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick for this Friday’s topic – Five Gateway Fandoms. Now, if you’ve read my blog, you know that I like a looooot of stuff. But, even little Dahlia had her predilections (I love that word) and exquisite tastes. Which of course, were the gateway to even more predilections and super exquisite tastes. So sit back, dear reader, and find out what made me what I am today! 1. Girl Rockers – Joan Jett and Pat Benatar Back when I was a wee impressionable one, they didn’t have a lot of ladies to identify with. Sure there was Babs and a folk singer or two, but the roof was really raised when Joan Jett and the Blackhearts hit the scene with “I Love Rock and Roll” and “I Hate

Music Monday – Rock Plaza Central

New (to me) music that doesn’t have a host of different mediocre pop stars collaborating on the same tired old riff. A song that doesn’t have a rap as a bridge. A song that uses real instruments – folks aren’t singing to a track. A song that can sound different every time it’s performed. In other words, a breath of fresh musical air. Rock Central Plaza is the name of the group and they’re classified as “indie rock”, whatever that means in this musical age. I suppose it means they didn’t win a television talent show and/or aren’t manufactured acts pushes on an unsuspecting public as “music.” Where did I find this gem? It’s on the soundtrack of an independent (of course) post apocalyptic film called “The Battery”: From IMDB: Two former baseball players, Ben (Jeremy Gardner) and Mickey (Adam Cronheim), cut an aimless path across a desolate New England.
