TV Shows I Enjoy

I have rather eclectic tastes in the TV shows I like to watch, so please enjoy my going on about them. I'm only putting up shows that are currently airing or otherwise not cancelled or ended. Favorite TV shows of all time is a post for another day.

The first and most obvious is The Big Bang Theory.


Since I am a geek and a bit of a nerd, this should be no surprise, though I only started watching it this last season (5). Now I own a Bazinga! shirt.

The next show I like is Dr. Who! One of the best, oh yes. I've seen mostly the 2005 and forward update, but I'm not familiar with the current Doctor (Matt Smith). I have a favorite doctor, though. David Tennant, oh yeah!



BBC's Sherlock. Oh how I adore it! So much fun! It is the best take on Sherlock I have ever seen.



I also adore Castle. I love Nathan Fillion, and I love the character interaction in the show, and how it moves and changes with each episode and crime.


Now, most of the next shows are in the paranormal vein. I know, weird, huh? I do believe in ghosts, but I believe there are things one ought not to meddle in. However, it is an oddly fascinating thing to watch (I don't do horror movies, so don't even ask).

The Dead Files is a new one to me; I've only watched it starting in the last month or so, but I wrangled all the episodes I could out of youtube. This one can be creepy, but I think the psychic does a good job of getting mad at people who poke at the dead or mess around where they shouldn't be.




Another good one is Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files. I like their debunking process and that they go into other things besides hauntings and UFOs.


For a fun romp, check out Destination Truth.  They find some very interesting thing on this show, and are always going somewhere fun.



And the last of my paranormal shows is The Haunted Collector. I find it very interesting and seeing things happening in my own backyard at times makes me appreciate my surroundings more.


Whether some of these shows are fake or not, I don't actually care. They give me ideas for stories to write, and in many cases, I feel my heart open out for everyday people stuck in extraordinary situations and just trying to get out of them, or past them.

Manly Muffin Why-nots

I did something crazy today. I blame one of my favorite webcomics for it, actually, specifically, this page of it: The webcomic is Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and is one of the funniest comics I've ever read. It spoofs the most masculine characters in video/computer games and popular culture and is very cleverly written/drawn. And I admit, I adore buff guys. It's all Rosslyn's fault for introducing me to it, but I don't mind. Rosslyn read this page over my shoulder Monday evening and echoed the little girl, saying, "Why not?" In doing so she and the Commander's daughter unwittingly named the project: Manly Muffin Why-nots. Disclaimer: Please forgive the following photos; they were taken in a dimly lit kitchen at night with an uncooperative camera. Also, please forgive the excessive recipe cheats. I am a poor college student on a very limited budget. Now, I got a small pack of frozen strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries (blueberries weren...

Letter A: Anniversary, the Second!

Welcome to the first of my alphabet month challenge posts! Spousal Unit and I just celebrated our second anniversary at the beginning of February. We did so in our usual fashion: find a museum and a good restaurant and go! (As a note, we're running out of museums to go to.... we went to many while dating.) The destination we chose was the Utah Museum of Fine Art. We got there in the morning on a Saturday and they had a rather interesting exhibit on the use of text in art (collages with newspapers, using words artistically throughout a piece, etc). They even had a typewriter you could use and play around with words that others had already written. It had the standard amount of crass and thoughtful phrases on it. They also had many masking tape art displays: a mosaic and a ceiling display. Spousal Unit and I did have some issue with a tour. We did not join it, but I heard a tired old assumption about the lack of bathing habits of the Middle Ages (as in, they bathed once a ye...

I've been spending a great deal of time working on making decisions for my SCA persona. I grew up within the SCA; my parents had joined when I was ten or so and were avidly involved (or at least my dad and uncles were) ever since. I didn't really enjoy much more than the clothing until I was old enough to duck out of babysitting before I was asked. I went to Great Western War this year, and despite being completely unprepared, Rosslyn and I put on a half hour show at the Open Arms Bardic Hall. I took a few classes over the weekend and in general enjoyed being there as a vacation. While there, I took two classes from True Thomas the Storyteller (look him up, hire him, he's sooooo worth the money), "Fyrecrawling101" and "Coaching". I had some embarrassing moments (forgetting the words to a song--remember how I said I was completely unprepared?), but by and large, I think I grew a bit. I got bolder...I even learned a story to tell instead of being a singi...
