Comic Con 2013

Oh my fellow Nerds this is the eve before the biggest event of the year! I have to mention I am very sad I will not be attending Comic Con this year but I will watch it on the telly! All week I have been getting text messages regarding Doctor Who 50th anniversary, and The Walking Dead! I may just have a nerd-gasim! I am sure there are going to be better exhibits and things I'll go gagga over this is just a tease for me!

I'm excited about the films that are to be previewed. However, they are being kept secret. I am still excited none the less. I'm sure that the Hunger Games will be something to be looked at. 

Obviously Twilight will not be there this year...(tiny yeah!) I'm wondering if R.I.P.D will have previews there since the film is based on a comic book. I also wonder if there will be a Spiderman II preview. Sadly this year there will not be a Batman, or Ironman, and I guess that is ok. Percy Jackson is coming out with another film, but I'm not sure that will be at the event. I'm just guessing here. Sadly once again Harry Potter is not! That is ok, I am adult and J.K Rowling has writing two adult books, move on me!
Oh the anticipation is killing me.
I do know this is the 20th anniversary for the X-files so there should be something exciting going on with that. Divergent based on the books is anticipated, as well as the Clockwork series. Dexter!(need I say more)
Veronica Mars.........NERD-GASIM!! So excited about the kick-starter fund having been success and they have started film. (I can hardly wait!!) Though I am still heart broken over the third season Game of Thrones is another I am chopping at the bit for. One of my new favs, cause I loves BBC America, Orphan Black. The show of clones getting killed off one by one! Oh too much this is just an over load. I have saved the second thing I can't wait to see and that is Thor II. Only because I loves me some Chris Hensworth!!! lolz. swoon!
Regardless of what is going to to be there I am super excited and I will keep visual!! Stay Nerdy my friends.

Winter is NOT coming!!!!

Since seeing the second to last Game of Thrones I have been holding my breath waiting for the moment when it would be ok to express what is WRONG with this damn show! Warning Do not emotionally invest in this show!
 First Ned Stark is gone, and ok I understand that but then they kill off the one person who I thought was going to really do something extremely interesting in this show. They killed off ROBERT STARK!! WTF! They killed him beyond repair, not the soap opera classic way that leaves the door open in case they can bring them back. No, first they stabbed his wife in her belly several times, then they shot him twice with arrows, and when his wife was good and dead they slit his throat! After they killed his mother, they then cut his head off and mounted his wolf's head to his body. I'd say there is no way he is coming back.
This leads me to wonder who the heck is next? (And is ANYONE safe?) Jon Snow? Daenery?
This last season did many things for me, bore me was one of them. The other was break my cold heart! I want to be realistic and say I understand the reason why Robb was killed but then the emotional part of me is upset. He should have avenged his father's death. He should have showed what the Starks are made of not beaten down by backstabbers.

Another thing that has bothered me is Jaime Lannister and my sudden relationship with him. At first it was so easy to hate him and to think he was just GROSS! However, during his imprisonment he has shown a different side of himself. Granted I still think he is a spineless man but he has shown a bit of compassion that I didn't expect. Such as when Brienne of Tarth is about to be raped. Or how he makes his convoy take him back so he can take her with him. He actually won me over, however I would still be ok with his death. In fact when he had his hand cut off I actually laughed. 
Still, my point of this show is you can not get too invested in a character. I have and I still am. My three remaining favs might not make it next season and that frightens me. To add insult to injury I am starting to really care for Tyrion Lannister or the "Imp". 

 Is there some way we can move through this show and be half invested to the characters?  As I have said before the show stays in line with the books, adding few things here and there. I want to read ahead only to make sure Jon Snow is going to make it. I am literally worried. How sad for me!

And now I come to the White Walkers. I don't know about you but I am scared out of my pants about this. They have been building up since season one and I have to say if they don't do something with them soon I'm going to combust. Something has to give, someone who isn't a Lannister has to have something good happen to them. Otherwise.. well we will just have to see! 

Nerd Girl Confessions..

It's time for some nerd girl confessions...do you have any?

Nerd girl issue is realizing that the characters in your favorite books out number the friends you have in real life.
Why is it so hard to have friends at a certain age?
Is it society pressure on a woman? I mean all of my girlfriends that I still talk to have kids and we never see each other. There never seems to be any time.


Second nerd girl issue is this...
Realizing that your thoughts and comments have something to do with things you have read or seen on TV.
No matter how hard I try not to make a Friends reference I can't. I only have one friend who ever understands what I am talking about when I compare a life reference to Friends. Other then my son, none of my friends or husband get the humor of Doctor Who, nor do they like it when there is nothing on and I suggest we watch Harry Potter, or Supernatural!
Nerd girl issue number three is when you have that moment where only you know what the heck you're talking about.. refer to second issue.
Nerd girl confession.. when you randomly go to the bookstore in order to find out when the next book in the series comes out only to be disappointed because the author has decided to take a year off..WTF!
This author knows who they are!!! I get it you want some time to be creative and books take a lot of time to edit. (Yet I have found several errors in some books I've recently read!) I also get it Charlaine Harris you are done with the Sookie Stackhouse series, I figured that out on book ten. The book seemed to have been a last minute thing.
and one more for the road Nerd girl issue that you are the only one in your house that loves Supernatural  and you are just like the character Becky...

I love love love Supernatural and would totally run away with Sam or Dean if I could! Then again I'd run away with Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead if that was an option as well! Swoon!! 

I guess that is enough of the Nerdy confessions or issues as I like to think of them.Until then Stay Nerdy! 

I NEED DVR!!! (My ode to DVR)

I watch too many shows!! 
This was a discovery I have just stumbled upon. Until now I had DVR, and wasn't really aware of the problem. Then May sweeps happened and all of my shows are on hiatus until September. Well, guess what! I have certain shows I watch during the summer, Rizzoli and Isles, Suits, Giuliana and Bill, the Killing, I could go on. But I won't.
 
When I had DVR it didn't matter when or what time these shows came on. I could record them and then watch them when I felt like it. Well, brilliant me decided she no longer needed DVR, and suddenly all my shows are on at once!!!
This is horrible, what the hell am I to do in September. Or in November when Doctor Who comes back on?

 I already let go of Copper because my Sundays were just too filled and let's face it I can not give up Old Lady hour when my PBS shows are on.

So currently I am trying to come up with other reason as to why I need to continue with DVR. Or the other option is to just stop watching all these damn shows. I have Amazon Prime but I have to pay to watch some things, I refuse to do that. I also refused to get Netflix. I don't need that at all! But would it be cheaper or better to have then DVR? Would it be worth it, and will I be able to watch Craig Ferguson again?
Oh the dilemma!! ") I know there are worse things to worry about, however this is my current issue. I'm trying to stop killing my brain but at the same time television is like crack. And let's be real I need it!!!

Working on the dime piece

I am exhausted!!!
Since I started working on my bachelor's degree I have let things become neglected. One of those things was my fitness. I tried to fit in at least fifteen minutes of cardio but alas when it comes to Statistics those precious fifteen minutes can be used for something a little more productive, such as homework.
So for that eight weeks or so where I stopped working out my body suffered. I have noticed my thighs have become a little loose, and I am none too happy about.
So this summer I have started to work on my dime piece.
In doing so I have turned to my favorite Tracy Anderson. I love the girl I really do but after an hour of working out I want to kill the little pixie!
My butt has never hurt or burned so badly and this isn't my first time working out with the tiny one. I was doing the Method before I got heavy into school. Granted I really didn't gain any weight I just didn't look as toned as I once had. So now that I have time on my hands I have started the metamorphosis. I don't think I have ever sweat so much in my life, and I used to be a chunky monkey!!!
I am about eight days into it and I am scared of when I finish the next two. I peeked ahead to see what I could expect and my poor saddle bags shivered in fear.
I know that working out is hard work. I know that you have to put in your time in order for you to get some results. I actually like working out and look forward to it. Having said that I do not look forward to the next day. Or the crack head like tendency that I get when I'm in pain. I actually crave the leg workout so I can feel some relief.
 I will continue with the good fight! Cause I don't want to be disgusted at myself when I look in the mirror or feel uncomfortable in my tank tops. I keep looking at myself and so far I'm smiling. Since getting back on the wagon I'm starting to appreciate my own body. I am looking forward to the end of the month when I can truly bounce a quarter off of my own ass!! Until then I am going to be sweating a lot!!!

All good things must end...and start again...

I know everything has to end sooner or later. Harry Potter had to come to an end, though I'm still secretly hoping J.K. Rowling will write another one. (NERD!) David Tennant had to end as the Doctor and come this December Matt Smith's reign as The Doctor will come to an end.
It is just hard to let something go, thus why fans of Firefly are still going strong. However, when Veronica Mars abruptly ended I didn't think I would ever recover. I mean that was my Agatha Christie, or for those who don't know who she is Veronica Mars was the cooler version of Nancy Drew!
So when I heard that there was a fund raiser  for Veronica Mars on the internet I instantly became excited!! Especially when they earned enough money to MAKE THE MOVIE!!!
I loved that show, Kristin Bell was such a kick ass in it. I loved when she would say "I brought back up!" (by the way back up was the name of her dog).
I was with her from the beginning when she was trying to find out who killed her best friend Lilly. Or when she was stressing about Duncan being her brother. I gagged with her, since she had slept with him. I was also relieved with her when the paternity test came back negative. The show was gripping and smart. It didn't spell things out for you, no you had to figure things out with Veronica. And she wasn't some push over daisy. Oh no, Veronica pushed and pushed for answers. She got herself into tight spots more then once but she always found a way to get out of it. Or she was just plain saved. But the thing I loved about her the most was she never depended on someone to come and get her but her dad. He was the only one she relied on, and I liked that.
I can't wait till the movie comes out, finally after all this time!
