Hole in the Wall

There's something about finding a new store of your favorite stuff, whether it be yarn or comics or whatever else you're into, it's just awesome. Today I went to a new yarn store, one of my favorite comic/game stores and a new comic book store. The 2nd comic book store had comics and collectible trading cards from the 90's if not earlier. It was one of those places that you really had to look for what you wanted but there's a good chance they'll have it..unless it's Doctor Who of course. The downside was it was in the sketchyist strip mall I've ever seen. Nudie bar then tattoo shop, smoke shop, fireworks store then the comic store. Yeah. But I love the feeling of finding something you never expected to find, like the Beauty and the Beast comics from the early 1990's. It's just fun. :)

Gamer Girl....?

I call myself a gamer. I've played games all my life (Mario, Donkey Kong, Pong, Sesame Street Counting Game that I can't remember the name of, Kingdom Hearts, WoW, card games, board games, and most recently D&D) but I'm not the type of gamer to learn all about the games that are coming out and need to play every game and every expansion that comes out. I'm the type of gamer that plays games. I like the togetherness of some games, I like the solitude of others. But I always feel like a fraud when people start talking about new video games or a new RPG and I have NO idea what they're talking about. But I love gaming. I just don't immerse myself in gaming culture. Sometimes I wish I would, but I like just playing them.

So I'm gonna keep playing and being a gamer girl. Because, as I said, I love playing them and that's what a gamer is.

Grown Up Fairy Tales

I love fairy tales so the fact that NBC and ABC both have shows on right now are pretty cool.
Honestly though I like ABC's Once Upon a Time a bit more. Maybe because it's not as dark as Grimm, or... who knows. Maybe it's the writing. Anyway I like how fairy tales are becoming main stream and not just in the way of Disney. 

Once Upon a Time is clever in the way that while they take story book characters and put them in our world they don't make it to easy to figure out who's who. I mean this in the way that in the fairy tale world Cinderella is of course Cindrella. In our world, her name is Ashley.
They still connect it, ASHley, CINDERella, but it's not obvious.  Another example is the Evil Queen is Regina in the real world and in Latin Regina meAns queen. I love subtle things like that. Where you don't make the connection unless you really think about it.

It's a good show and I'm glad they ordered a full season of it.

There's also Grimm this season, which I'm still not sure if I like. And two Snow White movies coming out. I wish they would come out with something other than Snow White though. It just seems overdone
