Media Monday — The new Doctor

Yesterday came the big announcement that all Whovians have been waiting for since June 1, when it was announced that Matt Smith would be leaving at The Doctor during the Christmas Special this year. I must admit, I really wasn’t hyped up about it, because they never pick someone that I know. I’m not a huge aficionado of British TV stars, outside of John Barrowman, Benedict Cumberbatch, and the casts of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. So when the man stepped out onto the stage yesterday, I...

Vera Bradley Disney Line Bags & Purses ~ Disney World Personal Shopper

Huh. Apparently THIS is how I can get one of these bags without going to Florida. (Though I’ve seen a lady on a FB site who already has them, and legitimately). A personal shopper…

Ten Questions With…Katie Lee

This week’s Ten Questions interviewee is Katie Lee, who has just released her book, WHAT ENDURES. It’s a romance, and I guess I’d call it New Adult, not YA.

1. Welcome to the blog, Katie. Tell us a little about yourself, and about WHAT ENDURES.

Thanks for having me! “What Endures” is not your typical romance. It’s a great story about what real love is, what it can survive and withstand. Plot-wise, it’s about two people – Jason and Megan – who fell in love as teenagers. But they ended up breakin...

Geek Pick of the Week: L’air Bleu

I know, I am falling down on the job big time this week. I will do better next week, I promise. Anyway, this week’s Geek Pick of the week is a little unusual. I am calling L’air Bleu bath and body products my pick, and there’s a story behind it. I met Shari, the owner and formulator of the products, while I was on vacation. She told me her story. From the time she was 15 years old, she’s been involved in Chemistry. Like, really involved. She was in a special program in H.S. where she did Chem...

Media Monday: TV Rewind — Revolution

I admit that I’m a little behind in posting this morning’s blog. I should have set this one up before I left for vacation and I was lazy and didn’t. Anyway, I have wanted to talk about this show for awhile, because I think it gets a little overlooked. REVOLUTION is, in my opinion, one of the best written new shows on American network television. But, of course it is, it’s
I admit that when I first saw the previews for this show, I immediately thought of The Hunger Games. A post-ap...

Vacation Post

Hey all! I’m on vacation, and I don’t have another interview in the queue for Ten Questions With… for this week. I have a few lined up and now I’m waiting for the authors to sent them back to me.

If you’re an author (I prefer YA, but I’ll do MG and even New Adult) with a book out or coming soon, and want to do an interview, please drop me a line at christinenorris02@gmail.com

See you all next week!

Geek Pick of the Week: Steampunk Emporium

*Christine is on vacation. Any comments left will be replied to upon her triumphant return!*

This week’s Geek Pick of the Week is for the Steampunk Enthusiast who just doesn’t have time, skill, or inclination to sew their own outfit. Five years ago, I would have made my own, but I am now one without time or inclination, though I have skill.

So I direct you this week to the Steampunk Emporium. Wonderful Steampunk clothing at reasonable prices, with most everything coming in a range of sizes from...

God of the Week: Goibhniu

This week I decided to give the guys equal play. We have Goibhniu (pronounced: Guv-nu), and he was a Celtic god. This is what Encyclopaedia Britannica online has to say about him:

Goibhniu,( Celtic: “Divine Smith”: )WelshGofannon, ancient Celtic smithgod. Goibhniu figured in Irish tradition as one of a trio of divine craftsmen; the other two were Luchta the wright and Creidhne the metalworker. Goibhniu was also the provider of the sacred otherworld feast, the Fled Goibhnenn; he allegedly brewe...

Disney-Inspired Handbags and Accessories by Vera Bradley to Bloom This Fall at Disney Parks « Disney Parks Blog

I am a Handbag Ho. I admit it. I LOVE pretty handbags. I have several, as well as innumerable totes. The lady at work who sells Thirty-One loves me, because I spend can always find a bag I want NEED.

I have recently become enamored of Vera Bradley bags. I found a wallet and cosmetic bag at the thrift store last week, and I bought two bags from FB resale sites (shhh, don’t tell my husband!)

So when I saw this, my inner Handbag Ho squeed with delight. Of course I want the PINK one.
