Comic-Con Depression

With sadness I am yet again not at Comic-Con this year. I have wanted to go every year for a very long time and have never had the chance. This year proves to be the year I've most wanted to attend. A big chunk of my shows are hosting panels there and all of the exclusive swag and previews are killing me to not be able to have and see. Well luckily some things are being released soon after the debut at Comic-Con, and this has helped a little, but I still want to have the amazing experience of hearing the stars of my shows discuss upcoming stories. And I know it would be amazing.

I'm going to share a couple things that have happened so far at Comic-Con here on this very blog. I feel like if I can cover some of the happenings for others in one place it will help the sadness of the others that couldn't be in attendance.

So here we go:

The Walking Dead Season 3 Preview:









Once Upon A Time Season 2 Preview:

So John Barrowman co-hosted the live coverage of the Comic-Con on G4. It was sweet! Four hours of interviews, previews and floor coverage. Although some of it was cheesy and dumb, it was the best I could get with not being there. I'm just glad they covered it just for me this year.

Random Ramblings

I feel I'm a bit behind the curve, as I have recently bought myself my first real iPod (I don't feel that the shuffle really counts). I have been a Zune girl for many years, and I still am, but I must admit it is dying, and my choice to move onto an iPod was a difficult, but necessary decision. In having said this I have discovered the joys of podcasts! I'm addicted to the Nerdist podcast and have been listening religiously while working. I feel that this could be a new thing that I could thoroughly enjoy. And I plan to download several other podcasts by many others and broaden my horizons. This is an exciting thing! What's not so exciting is that I finished Firefly in its entirety. This means that last night I watched the movie Serenity, and I must say I was very nervous toward the end of the movie. I wasn't sure who was or wasn't going to survive. All in all in turned out ok, albeit with a few sad losses, but I feel that it was wrapped up the best it could be. And I'm ok with this. What I'm not ok with is that junk food isn't healthy for you. Why does it have to taste so good??  I was thinking about this the other day, and I really like junk food (this is obvious from my not so slender figure), but oh how I wish it was good for you. I hate craving it, and denying myself the pleasure because this makes me cranky. Oh well, I will get past this right? And speaking of cranky, I do have to say that the iTunes software is not very user friendly. It's either that I'm used to the Zune software which I think is not only more user friendly, but also more aesthetically pleasing, or iTunes just isn't as great as the iPod itself. I have struggled with the iTunes software all week, trying to figure out how to do the simplest of things. Some I have to admit may have been operator error, but others are not very explanatory and this frustrated me. I have been able to get it all figured out to the extent that I can at least transfer music to and remove music from my iPod, but I'm not sure about all of the other features that the software offers. This will take time and I will have to be patient. And speaking of patience, I'm all about used up this week, so thank God the weekend is nearly here, because Lord knows I need it!

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!!

TV Review: Firefly

In a past post I mentioned my tendency to get obsessed with shows and then have issues when they end. This is why I never watched Firefly. I knew that there were only roughly a dozen episodes, and that was all. And knowing this information I made the proper decision to not watch the show. I knew I would love it, and would become obsessed, and then would go through my temporary depression as I do. Well that decision was changed recently. I started watching Firefly. Now I'm getting anxiety after each episode because I know I'm getting closer and closer to the end, and I don't want to! I really don't know why I let myself do this.

On the bright side, I now see why everyone raves about this show. It really is awesome, and I keep telling myself I am only working on one of my New Year's goals, which was to familiarize myself with more sci-fi tv shows. I'm really doing myself a favor here. At least that's what I keep telling myself. When I'm done with the series and sitting at home obsessing while in my depression, I'll be thinking otherwise. For now though I need to just enjoy the episodes I have left to watch and prepare myself for the end.

And all things aside, this show is really great, and I highly recommend it. Although I could do without the kinda cheesy opening credits theme song....but that's just me.
