    Sleepy Hollow

    It's got a little X Files vibe which I like; I'll keep up with it for a few more episodes at least.

    The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Trailer

    The book was great. It was the padding/filling in Hobbit film 1 that fell very flat for me. If you'd have asked me prior to seeing it if 3 films would be better than 2 I would have said "Sure, give me 3, more is better, right?" But in this case it wasn't...

    The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Trailer

    I'm not a purist either. Loved the film trilogy for LOTR. But the first Hobbit film was just soooo boring! It was really quite distressing how little I felt entertained.

    Our Physical Fitness

    I run about 4 days a week, 2.5 to 3.5 miles per run. Try to keep my calories to 2000 a day. Been maintaining a weight that is just shy of overweight for about five years now. I also bike in the summer.

    Wearable tech

    I don't even wear the glasses I'm supposed to wear, and I can't wear a watch (I get really itchy under the band no matter what it's made of). I'm having trouble envisioning something I would wear. And yet the device in the pocket has significant drawbacks.

    [August] What are you reading?

    I'm in a state of waffling with books this summer, finding it hard to land on something. I'm trying to get through Monster (A. Lee Martinez I think is the author) - it's good at quirky but not so good at likeable. I have two recent purchases in a stack to attack next: The Affinity Bridge, and...

    [August] What are you watching?

    I recently rewatched the first three seasons of Warehouse 13 and am keeping up on the current season. I started watching Eureka and am just at the start of season 3. I took a taste of Once Upon a Time today - not sure it's for me. I'm actually about halfway through the pilot of Continuum -...

    AD&D 2E Does anyone know what month AD&D 2e was released in 1989?

    I feel like I remember some of that stuff coming out in the spring or early summer. I know I had some of it during the summer as I spent the summer out of the state and bought some of it while I was away.

    So, about those Man of Steel reviews...

    I thought it was really good. I got a little confused about the rules for how earth affects Kryptonians and all that. Was a teeny bit disappointed with Clark's final action vs the bad guy, thought he'd find a more clever way to solve the problem. But overall a fine movie. I was surprised and...

    So, about those Man of Steel reviews...

    It's running not quite "fresh" at Rotten Tomatoes, and the lack of humor and lack of chemistry between Lois and Clark seem to be the main issues with the negative reviews. Kind of sets the bar lower which I think will help me enjoy it more. I personally am looking forward to a less silly Zod...

    So, about those Man of Steel reviews...

    For it to work for me, it has to be more science fictiony than fantasy, and this looks like it is about aliens and space ships and high tech stuff ... and that works for me. Looking forward to what modern special effects technology can do with this subject matter.

    Good call on Atomic Robo. My local library branch has six volumes and I am enjoying vol. 1 right now.

    [June] What's got you listening?

    This probably isn't the thread to complain about earworms, but I have "Dog and Butterfly" stuck in my head. Pity me!

    Allow me to encourage you to pick this up again - I found it excellent.
