have you hugged your inner geek today?

For my Maryland area peeps - Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers will be playing the 8x10 Club on Tuesday Dec 6th! Who wants to come with us?

I'm working a short 4 hour shift tonight at Crofton. It's VERY cold in here. Tomorrow I'm at West County, and unless things have changed, it will be very hot in there. Temperatures in the library are crazy!! And I never dress appropriatly as I'm never sure what will be appropriate! Oh well, only 30 minutes left!

I was going to make a bunch of graphic novel related icons yesterday, but right in the middle of my scanning spree, I crashed photoshop and lost all my scans. That deflated that effort. But I'm going to give it a try again this weekend! I just checked out Sandman : Endless Nights because it is so very scannable. Also want to make a few batgirl and runaways also. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and I returned all the Transmets I had, so I might just have to go cap hunting for those.

watched another episode Farscape today...I think that's episode 7...didn't like it as much as the two before it. But then again, ERIN/CRICHTON OMG OTP! hehe. I've only seen 7 episodes and you just know it's true. Crichton's head is shaped weird though and it freaks me out. I like Erin though. She reminds me of Ani Difranco. Farscape is far more sci-fi than I usually get. I'm not big on shows with lots of made up words and giant plastic aliens. But I'm liking this one.

Have I said this before? I think it's Star Trek: The Next Generation nostalgia that's making me watch this show. TNG was THE show for my family back in the day. I remember every saturday we'd order pizza and gather in front of the TV. and TNG was on for quite a few years. We never really had a show like that again. Not that we all watched at least. Farscape is tapping into my hard-core geek that I had abandoned after TNG ended.

Speaking of inner geek, I had a song from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame stuck in my head this morning so I popped my disney mix cd in the the player while I was driving over here. I miss Disney...where did they go? They just make total crap now it seems. Alan Mencken, where have you gone with your fabulous music! Why don't they just dig out the ol' grimms fairy tale books and start setting them to music again! *sigh* I feel a disney kick coming on. Might have to make some Disney icons too.

Oooooh! 8:45! Time to start chasing people out of the library!

I used to watch TNG, too. :) Had a big crush on Data, and somewhat, Picard, as well. o_O *giggles* I loved that show! And, I've had Farscape recommended to me by more than one person. ONE DAY I will get to it... :)

I was fond of Riker w/ beard.

I'm actually enjoying Farscape though I never would have watched it if someone hadn't lent me the DVDs. Just add them to your netflix list for a later date hehe.

[persephones-rev.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Riker was always too Rico-suave, and a little too "All-American" for my tastes. :D

Heh, that's what my ex told me to do after he told me that I was like his Aeryn Sun (sp?) to his Jon Crighton. o_O

*uses the only icon she has with a beard she actually likes* ;P

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

yeah, I'm normally not a beard person. I probably wouldn't eve take a second glance at Riker now. hehe. Ewan knows how to work it though.

*giggles* I know what you mean... :D Some men can pull off wearing facial hair, and others, well, not so much. I dread the day when I see Hayden play a role where he has a beard. o_O

i adored farscape. i read some of the fake logs they had on the sci-fi website, and the reason they made up those words was apparently the translator thingys water everything down to pg-13. *snickers*

there is a lot of goofy humor in farscape as you get along...it has that buffy/sg-1 feeling in that...which is why i'm personally happy ayrn and chriton are now on sg-1, i think they match the humor there well.

I was going to read some of Crichton's logs but my friend told me not to as they contain some spoilers. I read one of them about the DRDs and that was amusing haha. I think the humor is what's keeping me watching. :)

So are aryn and crichton actually aryn and crichton on SG-1 or are they new characters? I haven't seen that show in AGES. Another one that I need to just start from the beginning with as I only saw a few episodes in the middle when my parents were watching it.

[moonfall.livejournal.com]

they're new characters on sg-1, although, ben's character is similar, hers is very different.

Where is the 8x10 club? What time?

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

It's in downtown baltimore and I think the show is at 8pm? I'll have to check the website now haha.....yes doors at 7:30 show is at 8pm. Tix are $10...you can buy tickets thru ticketmaster but last time we went the guy at the box office told us just to call because then you can avoid those stupid service charges.
