In Which Lauren Talks A Clash of Kings
So well over a month ago I finished the first book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series titled, “A Game of Thrones”. I’ve the second book in my possession before I even finished the first one. Yet, I’m ashamed at how long it took me to finish the second book. I think it is due to the fact that I went through “A Game of Thrones” in a week and became a little...

In Which Lauren Talks A Game of Thrones, part 2
So nineteen days ago I said I would be posting part two hopefully soon. Please take my word when I say that this is me posting it soon. Because as I have mentioned numerous times I’m terrible at keeping blogs. But that is neither here nor there, what I am here to talk about is A Game of Thrones, the first book in the series A Song of Fire and Ice.
So as I mentioned in my first post, the...

So In Today's News...
Not gonna lie, I thought my next post on this blog was going to be part two of my Game of Thrones review. But sadly, I am reporting about Steve Jobs’ death.
It’s odd that I’m talking about this. I guess I’ve just always viewed Steve Jobs’ and Bill Gate as these immortal beings that will always be around to supply computer nerds like me fun, shiny, new toys to play...

It’s Tuesday, so you know what that means! Brittney is reviewing tonight’s episode of Glee! I’ll put it under cut to spare those that could care less.
Just some of my thoughts from tonight’s episode (brought to you without .GIFs because I’m lazy):
Mercedes was a bitch. And oddly enough getting sick during rehearsal (please, dear God, no more baby drama). Now,...

I’m really hoping that I’m not going to start every week in a funk like I have for the past two weeks. It’s not fun and I wish it would stop.
Maybe I should read more.
Yeah, that’s probably it…

I know this has nothing to do with anything but I just wanted to say that I really don’t like our suitemate. I’ve been waiting to go to the bathroom for close to an hour now and she’s just been chillin in there with music on or talking on the phone. Which, can I also just say, is really weird.
Also, Lauren hasn’t been feeling great lately and was napping. Suitemate...

So, I just realized that I haven’t posted much in the past few days and I apologize. One of our friends that graduated last May came to visit from Effingham, IL and we were busy catching up and trying to keep up with all the crazy.
There really hasn’t been a whole lot to comment on here. About the biggest thing that’s happened to me is that I finally got my cake decorating...

Brittney Watches Stuff
I just watched ‘Funny Girl’.
I don’t know what my emotions are doing.
This is why I don’t watch movies having no idea how they turn out.
Don’t get me wrong. I loved it. Barbra Streisand is phenomenal.
But the ending killed me inside. I don’t think it would have if Barbra wasn’t such an amazing actress and that ending song. My heart just broke.

In Which Lauren Talks A Game of Thrones, part 1
So have I mentioned that I’m terrible at keeping up with these things? I’m pretty sure I mentioned it. I’m not lying. I suck at these things. Luckily Brittney keeps posting thus making me feel like a bum. Though one of the reason’s I didn’t post on Sunday is actually the topic of this post.
I initially bought A Game of Thrones back in November and it sat idly...

Glee 'I am a Unicorn' recap and review
I apologize to anyone who doesn’t want to see this so it will be under cut.
Just wanted to get that out of the way.
I don’t know what to think about the little cliffhanger we were given. I don’t want to read too much into it when Ryan Murphy is the executive producer. But… dear God, Darren’s acting in the last 5 minutes. I kept asking Lauren if it was...

It’s Tuesday which means Glee. And I apologize for any of you who don’t appreciate my upcoming spam.
Rumor mill is going around that there will be a love triangle for the Klaine ‘ship.
Like seriously, Kurt has had enough shit and they seem so happy together. I mean look at this .GIF
I wonder if I could just pout at Ryan Murphy all day to keep him from doing this…

The Wonderful World of Books
For the past day or so I’ve been in a bit of a funk that I haven’t been able to shake. So this evening I went on a walk around campus that ending in me visiting the university’s library. I ended up picking up ‘The Complete Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes’ with all of Sidney Paget’s original artwork. But, as I walked down the aisles of books, I felt more...

Brittney's Nerdy Post of the Day!
Since Lauren got a nerdy post about Doctor Who (which I also am a bit of a nerd about as well) then I suppose it’s time for my nerdy post of the day. :D
Physicists have recently been talking a lot about neutrinos, which if you’re a big science nerd like me, is kind of exciting. Now, neutrinos are itty-bitty little particles that are everywhere. The smarties over at the CERN...

In Which Lauren Talks About Doctor Who
So as stated by yesterday’s post, I’m a nerd. Which is why this is a post about the recent Doctor Who episode. And while I’m aware that we have three followers who knows, they might be Doctor Who fans. As such, I shall be posting my review of “Closing Time” under a read more.
So rather than posting an actual review I’m just going to use bullet points to cover...

Well then... Here goes
Lauren here.
I’m putting this out here now. I’m terrible at these things. There are several notebooks and computer files as evidence. I think I did a total of something like 5-10 actual posts when I still had my old Tumblr. So hopefully because this is a joint thing we’re doing that will inspire me to post more. Word of warning, we are nerds. Nerds to the extreme. I type this...

So Here Goes It...
Britt here!
I thought you all would like to know why we’re doing this thing. Last night I had a giant purge of all of my go-to procrastinating hot spots (Lauren joined me in this) and realized a little late that Tumblr is where I go to for all of my news and media information. So, on a whim, I decided to start a new blog but this will not be all about my current obsessions...
