My Afflation

This one was not easy.... I ended up crowd-sourcing some of the answers because I couldn't choose just one. In addition to travel, mobile and food photography, I'm apparently also obsessed with Nathan Fillion, coffee, chocolate, and Girl Scout cookies (hey! It's the season). These were just the suggestions from Twitter. Pin It

Geeks, fanboys, fan girls, and yours truly give a collective SQUEEE!!!!!!!! Everywhere!!!!   Nathan Fillion shows up AND they talk about Scott Sigler 's new book. (I've been stalking following Scott since he was on podiobooks . His writing gets seriously scary!) There are 5 segments to each show (from Tor.com ): The Flog  — As in Felicia’s blog. Get it? It’s Felicia Day doing whatever Felicia Day feels like doing; everything from milking a cow, to operating a forklift, to flying on a trapeze! I’m looking forward to it, because Day is charming and totally game, and she seeks out stuff to do that — chances are — we’ve all wanted to try at some point. Total wish fulfillment. Table Top  — Produced by and starring Wil Wheaton, this show provides a novel look at table top RPGs as Wheaton and his celebrity geek friends sit around playing a different table top game each episode.

Probably back in Oregon when I threw Shindigs (as in Browncoat parties). I've been debating for days what this last post of 2011 should be. A Best of? A collage? A worst of? A general summary? I'm still debating. I'm just glad it's over. It wasn't a bad year overall, started out sick, ended sick, and in between ... I managed to finally lose ten pounds and gain about five of it back in the last two months. I have about (1)50 posts in drafts, so if you read my blog via RSS, you're not going crazy, I'll just be knocking out the relevant ones. So let's try the recap approach. I take photos a...

As if there weren't enough good things about Nathan Fillion, he now signs books as Richard Castle ! I am going to be in Nathan-Heaven! Have you watched Castle yet? If not, you SHOULD .

Tightpants of Firefly , Serenity , and most recently, Castle fame. One fan, with infinitely more time and talent with After Effects than I have has created a simply spectacular movie trailer for a non-existent movie. I hope the movie execs are paying attention. 1) Hire this guy and 2) MAKE A GREEN LANTERN WITH NATHAN FILLION I give you Nathan Fillion as the Green Lantern
