Oh So Geeky

This past week welcomed a wonderful surprise when I was nominated for a Liebster award by both Katie at Ever So Ethically Confused  and Rebecca at Almost Ginger . I was reminded how fast time flies - it's been three years since starting this blog and I can't believe I missed celebrating a blogaversary. Now seems like the best time - thank you Rebecca and Katie!

Fellow blogger Mariah at a A Space Blogdessey changed things up a bit by starting a blogathon about her process and asking us some questions about ours. Inspired by other bloggers, she asked us to join in a challenge to show us how we work. Thank you to Mariah for hosting this blogathon. Enjoy the look behind the scenes about how this blog survives staying active every month. What apps can my not live without? Netflix seems like a pretty obvious one to give a shout-out to.

To share this momentous occasion, Mia Thermopolis is my tag-along gal and also honorary Muggle. She seems like the perfect enthusiastic buddy to stop by Diagon Alley for a few pre-travel treats and ride on the Hogwarts Express with. We are greeted by Hagrid at the Hogsmeade Station. Our stay is only a stone's throw away at the Three Broomsticks Inn and our arrival is a magical boat ride across the lake where we ga...

To say my sister loves Seinfeld is an understatement. She is a buff who in every meaning of the word has catalogued in her mind exactly what happens in every episode and quoting them every single day. I could not grow up in my household without the show becoming a daily viewing in our living room. A sitcom created by Larry David has become one of the most popular shows in tv history. Turn on your old 'tube or talk to anyone about looking towards the cookie for racial resolutions, and chances are they know exactly what you are getting at. Classic shows from eras gone by such as The Dick Van Dyke or I Love Lucy were the foundation of situation comedies; episodes centered around a challenge that the main character had to face somewhat farcically, if not with incredible timing and gimmicks. In the 90s a new kind of comedy was on the rise; audiences laughing about nothing. Seinfeld was far from social issue storylines that often came to light on  The Golden Girls in the eight...
