When did it become 2014?

New year already. Where did the time go?
I went in to blog on my movie blog, and had frealing issues.  Went to do something on my wrestling blog, had frealing issues. Came in here, and frealing issues.  Need to rant now.

For those of you who follow my movie blog, it's on again man!  For those of you who have no idea what the hell I'm going on about... in 2011/2012 I decided to do a One movie a Day challenge.  The rules were simple, I had to watch one different movie a day for the year and blog about it.  It was mildly successful.  I tried doing a second year last year; themed of course. All vampires, but sadly, it kicked my ass.  So, on the anniversary of the blog, last month, I started a third year of the One movie a Day challenge.  Today makes Day 31. 

Who did not see the split of Cowboy James Storm and Gunner?  I think we all saw that without glasses few months ago. I'm only a week behind on episodes of TNA Impact. And only because the Spike site hasn't put up last week's episode yet.

So it's 2014...wow, I feel so old.

That's about all for right now...we've had -30degree C with -44degree C windchill.  Too cold for living.

Dude....really?

Weirdness. Don't you hate it when the internet burps?  You know what I mean, my lovely Spudguns!, when you're doing something online, like blogging, or chatting, or watching episodes of Supernatural on Netflix, and suddenly everything freezes on you, and you realize that it's the internet having gone out. 

Damn I hate that.

And what's up with wrestler Seth Rollins's hair? Dude, please, pick one colour and stick with it.

love Ardeth Blood.

GetGlue killed itself

Okay, a year and a half ago, I was researching a movie for my little movie a day project, and stumbled upon GetGlue.  How, by seeing the "check in to get this sticker" button.
It was cool.  Cute even, you got to talk about books, movies, music, and a ton of other topics with other fans, and you got stickers for it.

Stickers.

Who doesn't love that right?  Kids of all ages like that.

As of this afternoon, you can no longer get stickers from there. As of next week, you can no longer talk about books, music, and random topics.  Like say an actor, or writer, or the weather.   You can only talk about a few tv shows and movies.

And no stickers.

Okay, yes, it's just stickers, we're not saving the world. But, you know what, it brought thousands of people together, talking, trading them, comparing how popular certain episodes were and why, some of them identified by just the latest sticker picture (cause not all episodes titles were available) And it was a good way for many to know when a show was not on.  You had the chance to find out about movies months ahead of time, by the stickers that were available under the "coming soon."

In the last hour since the GetGlue company made their announcements, they have lost close to 2000 users.  In a frealing hour!

So, yes, it's not the end of the world, but for so many of us, it's the end of a really great original social site and the lost of friends.

Nov 4th 2013 continued

Mercury goes direct in a few days.  That was my mistake for anyone who follows that part of the program. Sorry guys, my screw up.

Mercury goes direct on Nov 10th.

This is what I get for blogging in a rush. Mistakes.

But, yesterday was a solar eclipse and new moon.

Okay, I need a really big big coffee to clear my cobwebbed brain.

Nov 4th 2013

A date, not one of my cute titles. Just today's date. Which means, it's been a month since I last checked in on this here bloggy blog.
I've been hanging out all the time on my movie blog. Working on the serial. Nothing fancy.

Wrestling... clearly not happy with the Shield loosing their belts in WWE.   
And been catching up with TNA in the last while. I still haven't seen last week's episode, but otherwise, good to see Sabin and Styles both with belts. Like I said, haven't seen last week's episode so the last episode I saw from two weeks ago they had belts.

Mercury has gone direct, but Jupiter just went retro.  To be honest, I am too lazy to research how that will effect stuff.

The Hallowe'en season is officially over. Makes me sad. My favourite time of the year. Which means, we are heading into a new year. Depending on what you follow, your new year might have started already, as that is what Samhain is pretty much. The Celtic/Wiccan new year. 
With that said, what do I think I might have learned this past year?  Not to make too many big plans. Every time I would get into a project this year, it fell flat. From my all vampire year project to a few crafting things to other mundane ideas, nothing really panned out for me this year.
Even my blogging hasn't been what it used to be. It totally got away from me. Days, weeks er...even a few times this past year where a full month went by without me blogging.  Honestly, don't know if that means I'm learning to be pickier on what I talk about or if it just means I had other areas to outlet?  Both maybe?

Okay my lovely Spudguns! that's enough blabbing for one rainy cold afternoon.

Wrestlers and hair

So, was watching this week's Raw, and I have to once again make the comment, what the hell is it with the wrestling industry and long hair on men?  I would love nothing more then to see Aaron Neville vs Bo Dallas in a hair vs hair match. Either way, it would be a win whomever had to take a foot off their do.
And would it kill Stephanie McMahon to have an updo just once? A bun, or a twist, or even a ponytail? 

And with that said... morning my Spudguns!

We are heading into the last mercury retro for the year, sometime this month.  The planet mercury turns retrograde three times a year, causing all sorts of havoc with computers, travel, messages and communications in general.

New season of tv this week.  So far, I'm loving Sleepy Hollow, Dads and Blacklist.

I'm not a fan of sitcoms. Really can't stand them. Which is why, last year when I was stuck on my mother's sofa with my knee injury, and ended up having the show The Big Bang Theory, sort of stuffed down my throat;  I shocked myself by liking it.  Totally addicted to it.
I'm finding the new show Dads, to have a similar addiction.  There might be hope for sitcoms yet, well as far as I'm concerned.
My thing is sci-fi/drama.  Really looking forward to the premiere of Dracula later in the month, and the remake of Ironside, which starts tonight.

Okay, that's my view this morning from the bottom of my coffee cup.

Sept 10th 2013

Spudguns!

So I caught last night's WWE Raw, and thought I would say something on it...here and not on my current wrestling blog because I posted last night on the wrestling blog and this blog needs some love.    I was disappointed with how the Randy Orton vs Dustin Rhodes match was done.  I thought for sure that it was going to be done as a more serious piece. Thought it would have had a better sense of weight had he wrestled without the paint and in a pair black trunks or track pants. 

Food... I've been obsessed with tortilla soup for the last few weeks. Done like five different versions of the recipe.

Books...I made it to chapter 9 of "Immortal Instruments City of Bones"  and that then got stuck. It's sort of boring. Really hoping the movie; if I ever get a chance to see it, will inspire me to finish reading it.  Here's hoping eh?

Other... The planets have been shifting like crazy the last month, and many of you will notice things in your life shifting as well. It's like information overload happening for many of us.

Honestly, I had a bunch of things that I wanted to talk about, but once I got in here and started typing, it just didn't feel right.  I can't totally say that I'm blogging less, because that's not true. I'm blogging all the time on my movie blog. That's where the majority of my blog time is spent.
Like I said, many people will start to notice things shifting in your life, and for me, right now, I'm re-examining my values.

Hallowe'en is on it's way.  Trying to figure out something for the blogging week of Hallowe'en this year.  Hopefully something that I haven't done already. Sometimes hard to do when you've been blogging forever.
