How to Handle Spoilers on Tumblr

| September 1, 2012

My tumblr feed is full of fans with enough free time to create/curate all sorts of eyecandy related to my favorite tv shows, movies, books, etc. It’s awesome. …except when I get behind because I don’t have the capacity to watch most shows live. What do you do when you want to spend some time [...]

The Trouble with True Blood

| August 27, 2012

So there’s this show. You may have heard about it. It’s called True Blood. It’s loosely based on characters created for a series of mystery novels, but as the differences grow stronger every season, it’s hardly fair to say they are related. What they do have in common is a slow slide from “oh, this [...]

Quick Review: Game of Thrones Episode 1

| April 18, 2011

It made me want to read the books again, so it couldn’t have been that bad. There wasn’t much to recommend it, however. I have no idea how you could have followed much of it if you hadn’t read the books, and I certainly don’t know why you’d bother with the second episode.

live-for-me blogging: true blood 2.3

| June 29, 2009

before we start, i’d like to point out that i wrote about the tv series vs. the books on murmur.com last week, and some of the discussion gave me a bit of pause about my irritation with jason going to jesus camp. i do like this story line, and as someone mentioned, he really is [...]

Live-For-Me Blogging: True Blood 2.2

| June 22, 2009

in celebration of a new theme and slightly jazzed up site, i bring you more not-quite-live blogging for true blood! (okay, really the events have nothing to do with each other, i just needed an intro)

True Blood 2.1 “Live” Blogging

| June 15, 2009

Sorry, I decided during my Lenten hiatus that I wouldn’t do these anymore, but I started thinking about all the things I could twitter and decided I should just do it this way instead. Starting at..

Not-Live Blogging: Grey’s Anatomy 5.16

| February 20, 2009

It’s time for this week’s installment of Grey’s Anatomy: An Honest Mistake I think I’m getting the hang of not-live blogging, now. I know that Top Chef lends itself to this (what do you call this: genre? medium? meme? …let’s go with “treatment”) treatment more than a standard hour-long drama, but i found the rhythm [...]

Not-LIve Blogging: Top Chef 5.13

| February 19, 2009

Again with the Not-Live Blogging thing? Yep. I had enough fun doing Grey’s and kept wanting to do it while watching Heroes (but didn’t because i suspect the constant pausing would have driven Ryan a wee bit crazy), that I’m doing it again. This time, I’m doing Top Chef Season 5 Episode 13 – the [...]

it turns out that bad tv is worse than no tv

| January 18, 2008

the writer’s strike could not have come at a worse time for me. i’m spending more time at home, wanting something to comfort the idle parts of my brain while i figure out this whole mommy thing. instead of watching mediocre shows that i’ve followed off and on for seasons, i’m faced with all new [...]

love this

| September 2, 2006

so thanks to a particular stargate-loving friend, we’ve started to watch the series. i was a huge fan of the movie. it’s, in fact, on my top ten list. we watched the movie recently and i am absolutely amazed at how well tv-show daniel has managed to mimic move daniel. when i’m not looking at [...]
