Allison Shaw left a comment for Nick"Eastwick was a pretty good show, I thought, but most of the reason why I was so upset was because Darren Criss from A Very Potter Musical was on it! Now he's on Glee though, so that's pretty exciting.
The only Neil Gaiman books I've…"

HEY BRITISH PEOPLE!!! (And other people too)
I don't have much to say here, but in case any one has been living under a rock lately, I want to make sure everyone in the UK has purchased the Chartjackers single on iTunes. They are SO CLOSE!!
We Americans can buy it too, but it doesn't go towards the charts. It still goes to charity though. so WOOT WOOT.

Why do TV networks hate me?
So I watch a lot of TV. I mean, not a lot of TV, especially since I'm in college now, and don't have that much free time, but still. So since I don't have a TV, I picked out a few promising shows or ones that were already my favorites and have been watching them online. One of these shows is Eastwick.
I actually started watching Eastwick because I heard that Darren Criss (of A Very Potter Musical fame) was going to be on it, but it's actually a really good show. And now it… Continue

Blanking Out
So i was going to make my first blog about the three things i do. Geeking out, Freaking out, and well I can't remember the last one.
When I Geek Out, I tend to get absurdly excited about something that is not exactly standard things to be excited about. Things like Jane Austen and Underwater Archeology. Usually, i start talking really fast and my voice gets all serious, cause i am so into this thing, whatever it happens to be. It can be kind of embarrassing, actually, cause… Continue
