Oliver Twist meets

So Neverland premiered last night. Visually it's amazing. Neverland has gorgeous sets, with snow turning to woodlands that reminds me a little of Narnia. I kinda love how Neverland is an alternate world and not just a place to stumble upon.
When you first meet Peter it reminds me a lot of Oliver Twist. A group of street kids conning their way into rich old men's pockets in 1906 only to return to a caregiver where they all live in an old warehouse. Although Jimmy seems to care a lot more for these boys than Fagan ever did.
The acting isn't bad, the sets are beautiful, the story isn't bad but I just can't get into it. There isn't really any reason I can find but I just didn't seem to care whether I missed parts of the show or not. Which is weird because I like the story of Peter Pan and a prequel so you get to see where he came from is a promising and good story. Oh well. Depending on what time part 2 is on tonight I'll watch it.

In other news, the Eureka and Warehouse 13 Christmas episodes are on tomorrow!!!! I can't wait for new episodes from those two teams. The previews look awesome and especially with Warehouse I can't wait to hear the humor (Eddie!) Can't wait!!!!

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.
