Weekly Geek Outs - 04/01/16
Greetings!
Here's what is going on in my world this week:
- April Fool's
I'm not a big fan of April Fool's Day. Especially within the geek/nerd community, sites often play with our emotions by posting fake trailers and announcements for things we would actually want to happen. Also, I'm just not one for pranks most of the time. I feel like I have to stay off the Internet all day on April 1 because nothing I see can be taken seriously. I know it is all in good fun, but some sites just annoy me. Maybe I need to loosen up, but that's just how I feel right now. Don't play with my emotions, Internet!
- Friends
I'm not talking about the popular '90s sitcom here. I'm talking about my actual friends. Since I became recently engaged to my partner, I felt inspired to reach out to friends and call them to catch up and share the good news. It's been nice to connect with the people I care about who have since moved all across the country. It's important to make time for the people in our lives that we care about! Actually talking to people on the phone or via video chat really helps keep connections thriving even if you can't hang out in person. I miss all my friends and I hope to see them all again very soon.
- TV
All my shows have been a mixed bag lately. Flash has been coming on and off with new episodes for no understandable reason. Arrow is okay, SHIELD has been losing me a bit, and I've been enjoying the more robust lineup of Comedy Central shows lately (Broad City, Workaholics, Not Safe, @midnight). There is so much good TV out there either to watch through Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or elsewhere. I think I may need to invest myself to a new series. I also need to catch up on Orphan Black and watch all of Supergirl (only watched the pilot). I take my entertainment seriously, it's important for me to have good stories to watch to unwind and I like to share a lot of this entertainment with my partner too. I'll be sure to keep you all updated with my thoughts as I explore some new potential TV series.
