A True Disappointment:

The True Blood Finale ultimately made me question whether I would waste my time watching the next season. I have read many comments on others opinions of the finale and come to the conclusions each time. There are too many plot lines.

Sookie & Vampires

Jason & Were-Panthers

Sam & his history & Tommy

Lafayette & Jesus (moving into witchcraft for the next season)

Arleen & Terry having a baby

Arleen and the Witch Waitress

Tara and whatever she is doing

Anything else in a Misc. category

The scenes no longer flow together; the momentum of the show is lost by moving from one plot to the next. From the intensity of some of Sookie’s scenes with the vampires to the slow crawl of Sam and Tara eating breakfast. It was frustrating for the viewer. I may be interested in Sam’s life and him coming out, but not right after the high interest I had with Sookie’s scene. I found the entire episode choppier then normal and very difficult to follow (not that I didn’t understand, but that it didn’t flow.)

I am very glad that Eric didn’t die and that Bill’s secret was finally found out, Sookie may never date a vampire again and the witches may pose to have an interesting plot for the next season. The episode help potential but the execution was a little off for me, and as I have found, for many viewers. I used to be very proud to call myself a Trubie, I follow the TrueBloodHBO tweets on Twitter and keep as up to date as I can in the True Blood universe. The advertising for the show is true genius and I respect the genre they are pursuing as after Buffy they’ve been lacking in that department.

True Blood, please surprise me with an amazing première episode in June or you’ve lost a loyal fan. I was going to try and be Sookie for Halloween until I watched the finale. Reel me back in and I’m yours.

My task, when the DVDs come out, rewatch the episodes together and see if the flow is different when there is not a weekly gap

Facebook Advertising Can Work

Facebook advertising can work, or it at least got me. So I want to go shopping at this new online store (well new to me) and buy some amazing Geek shirts and maybe even try out to be their new Model.

Am I really that easy? (Don't answer that!) Is it that easy to grab the attention of a 20 year old College student? Well yes and no. Using Facebook advertising really allows you to target and connect with the appropriate audience.

Snorg Tees didn't advertise to my mother, or my teacher, they advertised on the Facebook page of a young college student with interests that include: Batman, Comic Books and Smallville. They knew who they were hitting before I even had a chance.

Now I am targeting, I am hoping that the eyes following this blog are geeks, nerds and fun people who would be interested in Star Wars shirts, Joke sayings and Zombie pictures. If you are interested in geek style shirts to wear under your dress shirt or to wear to your local comic book shop then check out this online store. Oh, and girls, do you want to model for some Geek shirts and win some swag? Then check out this link to Snorg Tees and compete to be their next model!

Well enough of my plug, and enough my 'awe' on how easily a Facebook Ad grabbed me, why don't you pay a little more attention next time you are online, are the ads popping up related to you in any way? Are they targeting you on your interests or by what sites you are clicking on? What about the ads on my site, are they targeted to you?

Snorg Tees, they found my weakness for geek shirts!

Want to become a Snorg Girl? I know I do!

Halloween Dilemmas!

I have a dilemma my fans, a terrible terrible dilemma! I don't know what to be for Halloween. If I had stuck it out better this summer I could have been Power Girl, but alas it must be put off until next year when I have achieved my six pack and arms work their salt. Harley Quinn and Harleen Quinzel have occupied two years so far and I was American McGee's Alice before Harley. This year I need something new, and I am coming to you for opinions.

Should I be a Sexy Pirate and pillage, plunder and loot?


I'd have to learn some Pirates songs, watch Muppets on Treasure Island and Pirates of the Caribbean and start practicing my Arr!

"Yo Ho! Yo Ho! A Pirates Life For Me!"

Should I be a fun Tavern Wench and serve everyone beer for the night and make sure the men are entertained?

I am going to have a full night, serving my friends and making sure everyone's beer is topped up. I think I may even have some appropriate beer mugs in the cupboard!






Should I be a Cuddly Viking and support my College Sports as well as my Favourite Vampire?

I'll fight my way to victory and cuddle my way out of defeat! Fuzzy boots and outfit look like I will have a warm night! I will need to find a sword large than me and maybe break out my Harley Quinn Mallet to make this one happen.

or finally...

Should I be a different type of Harlequin and have a jester of a time?

I get to be a Harlequin Jester and entertain and insult those around me. I will have to be witty that night and keep my guard up. Perhaps I'll even get some practical jokes set up before I go in! While setting my friends up to be the punch line I will have to remain lady like and ready. Sounds like fun!



Commenting is completely open for suggestions and opinions. I was also considering a female Robin Hood but can't find one I like and also a Eevee or Fox but again I can't find any. So I am completely open for suggestions and opinions. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you :D

Under The Red Hood:

♠♣♥♦

3 out of 4 suits!

Starring the talented voices of Jensen Ackles and Neil Patrick Harris.

“Now, that was rude. The first boy blunder had some manners. I'm supposed I'm going to have to teach you a lesson so you can better follow in his footsteps. No, I'm just gonna keep beating you with this crowbar. “ – Joker

     The entire shows grips you and takes you for am emotional and action filled ride. Jensen Ackles does an amazing job as the Red Hood and helps unfold a much better version of his resurrection than the comics could ever try to boast. 

    

     For those unfamiliar with how the Red Hood came to be in the comic book world here is a very quick re-cap, “Due to the reality warping effects of Superboy-Prime punching his way in, Jason Todd's corpse was revived in his grave.” Yes that is right, a warping effect from Superboy-Prime! Some more crazy stuff happens in result of Superboy-Prime’s reality warp but that is for another blog.

     I truly enjoyed DC’s movie version of Under The Red Hood and couldn’t have asked for anything different. I am a little sad the Mark Hamill will no longer be voicing the Joker once he has finished with Arkham City this year but John Di Maggio did an amazing job.

     It did take me a few minutes to adjust to his lower and darker voice but once I heard his Joker-esque laugh I was sold. I know he would do the character justice and all thoughout the movie he was disturbingly funny.

     I also truly enjoyed the writing for the movie, Jensen was able to deliver some truly amazing and disturbing lines that made me, morbidly, warm and tingly on the inside.

“You wanna die? There's easier ways to kill yourself.“ in which Red Hood replies “Yeah, like yelling at the guy who's holding the AK-47.”

     I will not ruin the movie for those that have not had the privilige of viewing it yet, but I am willing to discuss this movie more though comments or through Twitter. Please send me any and all comments, questions and opinions.

Thank you for reading and please check out DC’s animated movie, Under The Red Hood!

Looking forward to the Green Lantern coming out soon!

New Blood

One episode away from the season finale of True Blood!

Will Eric die?

Is Godric an angel or hallucination?

Will Arlene's story line get wrapped up so we don't have to listen/watch it anymore?

So many questions and two weeks to wait. True Blood's finale will not be aired next Sunday because of the Labour Day weekend and instead will air the week after.

Will Eric ever steal Sookie away from Bill? Can Sookie forgive Bill after this episode?

I don't think they will be starting over, I think that next season will show a new side to the Sookie/Bill relationship and maybe allow Eric (if he lives) to move in and finally get some Fairy action!

Look at the sexy Viking, he can only get so close to the blood he desires.

Tune In to see the season finale of True Blood on September 12th only on HBO!

How Comic Books Impacted My Life

I became addicted, I spent more money than I probably should, I met new friends at my local comic book shop, I went to conventions, wore some interesting costumes; but most of all ->

I have decided to become a Superhero! I'm not going to be a vigilantly or do anything dangerous or illegal but I am going to make myself the best I can be.

After reading a startling amount of Power Girl comic books and seeing her physic, as well as many other Super Heroines, I have decided that I can look like a Super Hero too!

I am going to run, weight lift, eat right and become the best looking, hottest, strongest, healthiest Hottest Geekette possible.

Please follow my progress on my other blog -> My Journey To Become ... A SUPERHERO! 

With Jamie Eason as my real life hero and role model, Power Girl has also pushed me to realize that I can be a better me, the greatest me!

Please support my efforts and hopefully my Tips, Tricks and Facts posts will help you out as well!

Every Chick has her weakness!

Weaknesses, every chick from real life to comic books has a weakness. For some it’s purses or makeup and for Powergirl its a little green meteor rock and for Harley Quinn it’s her unyielding love/obsession for The Joker.

What is my weakness you may ask? Well it is simple and it is complicated and I will answer first with; Shoes! I am still a chick, though a very untraditional chick. Now I will NOT go out and spend hundreds of dollars on shoes in fact I’m not sure if I have EVER spend more than approx $80 on a very nice pair of fancy shoes. I try to keep my impulsive purchases to a minimum and I weigh price versus use in my head many times before I hit the ‘buy’ button.

I have just over 20 pairs of shoes for presentations, working out, general use and some costume pieces (come on, I cosplay). Now I want to add a few more shoes to my collection that I have just seen advertised in my Zatana and Powergirl comics this month. I want Superhero shoes! I mean, I know I won’t ever find a Powergirl or Harley Quinn shoe, I’m just not that lucky and they are not that popular but Converse and DC have joined forces to create an amazing line of Converse shoes.

Including Batman; Superman and Green Lantern, DC is using the most popular and most recent heroes to hit the spot light this year and I truly hope they are able to expand their line in the future to create shoes with Villains and less popular characters as they introduce them in Smallville and in their animated movies.  I may have a budget and I may be one of the most reasonable out of my species(gender) but I can tell you that if I find a pair of Batman or Superman Cons that fit my petite feet I will be snatching them up whether it requires a credit card or not.

Now that you know my weakness, I shudder to think how many will use it against me. This is The Hottest-Geekette signing out!
