5 Fandom Friday: Favorite Fictional Fathers

Thanks for the killer new logo, Darling Stewie!

So I skipped last week’s Fandom Friday because the prompt didn’t really fit me or my interests, but I’m back in the saddle again to tackle some of my favorite fictional fathers (just in time for Father’s Day in a couple of weeks).

1. Sirius Black; OK, so he wasn’t Harry’s father, but he was as close to a father figure as the boy was going to get. Sirius was tough with Harry when he had to be, but was his number one fan and supporter. What else could you want in a father figure? The feels were rather strong when he was abruptly taken away from Harry, but he remains one of my most favorite characters in the series…siriusly.

5 Fandom Friday: 5 Most Binge Worthy Shows

I’m proud to say that this was one of my contributions to The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick‘s 5 Fandom Friday prompts. Obviously, I’m a fan of binge watching shows. I try my best not to go full-binge, so that I don’t feel empty and sad inside when I no longer have a show to watch, but I have been known to spend the better part of a day sprawled out on my couch, gluten free pizza in hand watching episode after episode of a new fav. Don’t judge me, you know you do the same.

So here are some of my current binge-worthy shows (plus: you can find them all on Netflix, so have at it!):

1. Parks & Recreation; I am pretty sure I was the last possible person to get into this show. Truth is, I started watching it as it aired on TV, and I just didn’t think it was that funny. Thing is, apparently it got better the 2nd season, when I had long abandoned it. Fast forward to now, and seeing all the hilarious montage clips my friends were posting on Facebook in honor of the show’s ending, and I had to give it another chance. I am so so so glad I did. It is literally my happy place. I’m currently on Season 5 (of 6) and I never want it to end. I love all the characters like they are my actual friends, and know I’ll cry ugly tears once it’s all over.

5 Fandom Friday: Favorite Fictional Moms

Well this Fandom Five comes at an amazing time, now doesn’t it?!? Sunday will be my first Mother’s Day and also the day that I reveal the gender of our first child (yes, I already know & yes, it has been torture keeping it a secret). I’m loving this specific prompt since I’ve been thinking a lot about the kind of mom I want to be and the values I want to instill in my child. These powerful mama’s are some I hope to emulate.

1. Debbie Novotny {Queer as Folk}: Debbie stood behind her son no matter what his decision was, and I can only hope to do the same. She was his number one fan and the president of his fan club. Who doesn’t want that kind of support in such a harsh and cruel judgmental world?

LOST Hangover

Sorry all, I am still recovering from last night’s LOST finale (is it really over?), so there will be no entries for today. But no worries, tomorrow I’ll be back to tell you all what I thought about it.

For now, I’m just going to let it all sink in.

I will tell you this: I loved it.

We Could Be Heroes…

…Just for one day night!

Sorry for the super duper late post everyone, but last night we hosted a viewing party for the season 4 premiere of Heroes! Although a few fans couldn’t make it at the last minute, we still had a good time. However, I must say that it was quite the challenge to watch a 2-hour season premiere with people that had never watched the show before, but they were troopers and dealt with my yelling and grumbling under my breath. 😉

Our awesome friend, Roxy, made these kick ass brain cupcakes in honor of our favorite character, Sylar (of course). They were absolutely scrumptious but I have to admit that as I put the brain (actually a mold using candy) portion in my mouth, I may have gagged a little. The coolest part about these cupcakes is that I tweeted about them this morning, and Ms. Wendi Lynn herself re-tweeted me with a message from a little guy you may know:

Uhhhh, awesome sauce. Have I mentioned how much I adore Twitter? Because I do. Just sayin’.

Anywho, as if these cupcakes weren’t enough, we also put together some pretty tasty Chicken & Waffles dishes, which ties in to the show as being Hiro’s favorite childhood meal. We definitely got no complaints on that front – the plates basically disappeared in a puff of smoke (super powers?). I also provided super hero masks to the girls (boys refused), which we found to be pretty debilitating in regards to drinking beer effectively and, you know…seeing. So those were short-lived.

So on to the stuff I know you really care about: the show. Do not read on if you do not want to be spoiled.
