  • Well At Least I Am Still A Pisces

    I did not pay too much attention to the new star signs when the news first hit as I am not into astrology, but I do find it interesting that along with moving some of the dates they have added a whole new sign to the line up. Several of my friends and family have…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Forbidden Planet Figure

    I know I am a day late…but better late than never (and it almost felt like I would never feel like writing on my blog again…but thanks to some meds, my friends, my cat and whoring myself out with sponsored posts I am back and I want stuff!) Check this sweet (and very expensive) Forbidden…

  • Peeps Hit the Stores

    While Valentine’s Day has hardly come and gone Easter is hitting the shelves of the stores already. Target had PEEPS on the shelves Saturday when I stopped in to pick up a few goodies. I love Peeps. I especially love the Peep Shows that the Washington Post has every year. I just wish they would…

  • Caution Time Travel Ahead

    Every day on my way to work I pass this sign (okay not exactly this sign since I photoshopped it — the real one says Travel Time Ahead). And in my dyslexic mind I ALWAYS read it as Time Travel Ahead (so I went ahead and made it say that since that is what I…

  • CBS Celebrates Twilight Zones 50th B-Day By Hocking Merchandise

    CBS announces new licensing agreements to hock Twilight Zone merchandise inlcuding a US postage stamp (probably the reason stamps are going up to 44 cents in May). Other products will include games, dolls and Hallmark ornaments. So I guess the new Star Trek film isn’t the only thing CBS is whoring out.

  • Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury

    Remember the end of Ironman? We got a glimpse of SHIELD agent Nick Fury played by Samuel L Jackson. The geek in all of us LOVED the idea and assumed it was a sign of things to come. Apparently, it wasn’t and no deal was in place between Mr. Jackson and Marvel (at least that…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Life-sized Captains Chair

    Boy would I love one of these for my collection, but at around two grand I cannot foresee ever having one. Noting in my Star Trek collection has cost me more than $200. I just can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on a collectible. (funny though I spent that on my other…

  • Name the 50 Aliens on This Shirt

    I had so much fun with my friends trying to figure out the 51 Robots on my other Chop Shop t-shirt that I thought I would do the same here with the 50 Aliens shirt. (Both of which are highly recommended by me as being both uber cool and uber geeky.) Here’s what I got…

  • Can You Name All 51 Robots

    The reason I ask is because I can’t. I can get the majority of them but need help with the rest. Please comment below with your answers. As you can see I am only a few short of getting all 51 robots named. Your help is appreciated. Thanks!  Astro Boy Marvin – Hitchhikers Guide to…

  • Cool Japanese Monster Shirt

    Tonight’s Big Bang Theory had Sheldon wearing yet another way cool t-shirt. This time it was a cool Godzilla monster silhouette shirt from the folks over at Super7. I will so be getting one of those. But while I call myself a fan I don’t know if I can name all of the monsters pictured…

  • Cool Design a Steampunk Cylon Contest

    I just found a way cool steampunk contest over at Dvice (part of SCIFI channel). Design a steampunk cylon and you can win Battlestar Galactica goodies. Here are some of the details… “STEAMPUNK CYLON” CONTEST Cylon Background: The Cylons were created by the people of the Twelve Colonies. Intelligent robots, they were used as slaves…
