Well...

I am trying out another blog ;-)

The only thing I don't like about it so far, is that I can't get these great fonts like here on Blogger!

Anyway, here's the link:

http://scifihorrorfem.typepad.com/blog/

I probably will still blog here, but it might not be as regularly. SciFiHorrorFem

Pre-Restart Post

I have to restart Firefox in a few,

but I wanted to make a post first. I downloaded and installed SGPlus (which I thought I already had, but guess I didn't? I dunno...

SGPlus lets me post to Facebook and/or Twitter when I post to Google+, so that's a little less of a hassle than posting to either both or all 3 individually. Also, the Facebook and Twitter feeds all run through Google+'s feed. I have found that some posts don't come through, while others do though, so that's a PITA :(

I'd better do the restart.

Have a howlingly good day, all!

Downloadin'....

Wheeee! The joys of dial up! Yes, I still use dial up! I know! I'm an idiot! I'm poor, so sue me! LOL!

Anyway, I knew I had 2 updates to download on my laptop computer this morning, so I put it online first.

That was around 6:45 am or so, maybe earlier...

It is NOW 1:44 pm and I JUST finished installing the Windows update of some 80MB, after I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player update which only took a few minutes.

I was also asked if I wanted to update Incredimail, but I declined for now and said Remind Me Later

LOL!

At least both of those are done.

Next time I put my laptop computer online, I'll get the Incredimail update, IF I don't forget... *sigh*

I don't always turn on Incredimail when I'm on the laptop...

Anyway, I got a few emails replied to, some letters sent to my Yahoo Group

SFHFI (SciFiHorrorFansIncredimail)

Uh, well... I just restarted my laptop

and now ANOTHER update is available, but at

least it's small. Only 3.6MB Hehehe

Anyway, back to my Yahoo group (link above)...

I posted a few emails to it while I was on my laptop computer because there are several IM letters on it that I don't have here on this computer. (No, I don't have my computers synced, either... *sigh*)

I also replied to a couple of emails from

friends and clicked on some emails for pennies and points like I do everyday to scrimp and save for Xmas.

After I use the money/gift cards/whatever

that I get this year, I'm going to let the amounts build up till NEXT Xmas, so next year I'll REALLY have a great Xmas! LOL!

The ads on my blog also should give me a little money, IF PEOPLE CLICK ON THEM! LOL! I haven't earned anything from them yet, as far as I know, but I have only had one reader that I know of... LOL!

Oh, NOW my laptop is having to run a

Windows Defender scan, so I still am waiting to shut it's lid and let it have a rest after being used for the past 7 1/2 hours or so...!

I need to get email on here and finish

opening up websites I use everyday like Facebook, Google + and the like, so I'll shut up for now!

Have a monstrous day!

Sunday Shadows

Well, yesterday I watched a YouTube video of Jonathan Frid speaking to his fans about what's been going on in his life, the 2011 Dark Shadows Festival from a couple of months ago and about the upcoming Dark Shadows movie.

The video runs 3 minutes, 17 seconds and can be seen here:

Jonathan Frid Oct. 11, 2011

The video was made in his home (I'm assuming) and it is very good to know he wants to acknowledge his fans and let them know a little about his life and thank them.

Seeing the video of him made me want to watch Dark Shadows last night. I watched the first disc of Dark Shadows: The Beginning then HAD to go to sleep. Over 3 hours of Dark Shadows goodness ;-)

That of course was BB (before Barnabas) hehe

It was from the time that Victoria Winters was heading to Collinsport from New York on a train.

I only have a couple of those sets and a few more of the Dark Shadows Collection dvd sets, but hope someday to get more of them. The prices have really come down on them and I'm glad of that. They come boxed in sets of 4 discs. Each disc has from 9 to 10 episodes of the series on it, but the series ran for over 1200 episodes, so you can see my problem LOL!

I really LOVE Dark Shadows though and am looking forward to the movie!

Have a creepy day!

Saturday SOA

     No, SONS OF ANARCHY isn't horror or scifi, but it is weird, in a groovy kinda way... ;-)

    I know I was griping about sex and violence in SPARTACUS, but for some reason, this show feels different.

       I don't envy those living the life of those on SOA, but their lives are less grotesque and nasty than those in SPARTACUS, even though their lives seem pretty realistic and gritty and grubby, as real life tends to be.

        Last night I watched disc 1 of season 3 of SOA.

       Many people are on SOA that were on LOST and DEADWOOD. Many others, such as Ryan Hurst were in movies and tv shows that I saw years ago. The first time I ever saw Ryan Hurst was in THE POSTMAN with Kevin Costner. Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, Charlie Hunnam, Kim Coates, Mark Boone, Jr., Theo Rossi, Kenny Johnson, Maggie Siff, William Lucking, Tommy Flanagan, Dayton Callie and Taylor Sheridan are a GREAT cast!

        Creator of the show, Kurt Sutter also plays a recurring character who is a member of the SOA that is imprisoned. Katey Sagal is married to Sutter, which I didn't know until I began watching this series on dvd. Others of the Sagal family participate in the show in a variety of ways, acting, writing and Katey Sagal does some singing. They do a lot of covers of songs from the 60s and 70s, etc. for the show and they get them to work with it well.

      The show is very adult, violent, sexy, nasty and gritty, but I want to see this show go on for many years, unlike Spartacus, which I dread knowing it's returning in another incarnation in January 2012.

      Ally Walker has been so easy to hate as the ATF/FBI/whatever the heck kind of agent she portrays on the show occasionally. I liked her on THE PROFILER years ago, follow her on Twitter and liked her in just about anything I've ever seen her, including UNIVERSAL SOLDIER.

     This season there are many great guest stars and recurring ones. Hal Holbrook, Titus Welliver, Francis Fisher, STEPHEN KING!!! ;-) and many more with familiar faces, but I can't think of their names right now.

     Watch for someone from THE DARK KNIGHT showing up in the episode HOME. I won't say who, but I'm sure you'll recognize the person even though they are not a name.

      I highly recommend this show to you, my readers, but remember, it is very adult, very violent and very real.

Have a creepy day!

Non Horror Post: Spartacus: Gods of the Arena

Watched disc 1 of 2 last night of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena on Netflix dvd rental.

I didn't think the show could get any sicker, but it did. I am not fond of rape scenes or of people being beaten bloody and left to die or a LOT of what S:GotA offers. I was busy updating iTunes, Adobe Flash, etc. on this and a couple of other computers last night, so I was back and forth a lot and didn't even bother to pause the dvd while I was out of the room...

Andy Whitfield sadly passed away a few weeks ago, who played the titular role of Spartacus (a name that was given him by Batiatus, the dominus there), not the real name of his character. When he played Spartacus on Spartacus: Blood and Sand it was raunchy enough, but I think the prequel is even worse.

I will be glad when we view disc 2 in a few days and hopefully that will be the last of it, ever.

Oh, joy! I just found out there will be MORE Spartacus... *sigh*

Spartacus: Vengeance will be on Starz in January 2012...

Shoot me...

Signing off and thinking of jumping off a cliff... LOL!
