Stressed? Get The Dalek Relaxation Tape!

Dalek Relaxation Tape

Everyone has been raving about the return of Game of Thrones on television, and rightly so. I have to admit that with the amount of things I have on my plate, I have not been able to watch the premiere. How wrong can that be? In any case, I know that I will have time later on, and perhaps having several episodes to watch one after the other will make it an even better experience anyway. The Game of Thrones hype notwithstanding, one cannot totally forget other TV shows out there that give just as much pleasure. Take Doctor Who. It’s a totally different thing, but it also gets me Read more »

Spice Up Your TV Show Life With Grimm

Grimm First Episode

Last night, I gave in and started watching one of the newest TV shows airing today: Grimm. With The Walking Dead being as dragging as it is – I haven’t seen the latest episode, and I don’t particularly feel the desire to do so – it is about time for TV show junkies to cast their nets for other fish. The Big Bang Theory seems to be going down the drain as well, giving us more reason to find other things to occupy our idle moments. Thank goodness for Grimm. I have been hearing about this TV show in the past month, but I didn’t really know anything about it Read more »

Winter Is Coming, B*tches: “Stupid” Ned Stark

Winter Is Coming, B*tches: “Stupid” Ned Stark

Have you gotten into Game of Thrones yet? Call me boring, but one of my favorite characters – even when I read the books – is Ned Stark. His character is so solid that even though you can predict pretty much what he will do, you can’t help but admire how honest and straight he is – to his detriment. I think that’s exactly how the site Winter Is Coming, Bitches came about. It’s obvious where the site’s name comes from, and you have to be pretty straight laced not to be able to laugh at the whole thing. As I said, I love Ned Stark, but his steadfastness does Read more »

MacRecipes: How to Be Like MacGyver

MacRecipes: How to Be Like MacGyver

Children of the 80s – how many times have you imagined yourself to be the MacGyver of your world, dashing into a volatile situation that seems hopelessly lost, only to save the day with your ingenuity? How many times have you sat there for seemingly endless hours thinking of ways to use duct tape and some coat hangers to solve a problem? Or maybe you’re more into using combinations of chemicals to create an impressive explosion? I find it sad that children and teens of today mostly have no clue as to who MacGyver is. Or if they do, they don’t really grasp just how amazing that unassuming guy was Read more »

HBO’s Game of Thrones: Not Your Ordinary “Boy Fiction”

HBO’s Game of Thrones: Not Your Ordinary “Boy Fiction”

HBO’s Game of Thrones is definitely not fit for viewing during the Lent, but I have been putting it off for a while now – well several days – and I figured there’s no better time to watch it than now. I have been raving about George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series ever since I finished the first book. Much like any fan of the books, I had also been waiting for the series to actually air. Before I got to watch the pilot, though, I had the pleasure – or displeasure – of reading a review at The New York Times. I have to be Read more »

Every Image From the Opening of The Big Bang Theory

Every Image From the Opening of The Big Bang Theory

I don’t know about you, but I definitely felt the absence of The Big Bang Theory last week. True, I was away and couldn’t have watched the show if they had aired anyway, but I still felt off not having my weekly TBBT fix. Luckily for me – and every other TBBT addict enthusiast out there – some guy didn’t have an Internet connection for a week and didn’t have anything else to do. Tell me honestly – do you sit through the intro of the show every time you watch it or do you skip the intro? Here’s my confession for the week – I sit through it every Read more »
