BaneCat: Gotham's fiendish feline

Still computerless this week and unable to write the post I intended to write due to time constraint and scheduling conflict, so I enlisted the assistance of BaneCat. ;)"

Cosplays

Hello fellow Geeks and Geekettes,

 Let’s talk about Cosplay!

I am in full swing of holy crap I don’t have much time left to   get all my new cosplays done!  You know they were you begin to really work on them. I just order three of pieces the day and doing the whole I pray they fit while I wait for them.  I went out shopping the other day to look for other pieces of another Cosplay am working on with no outcome. Anyways I will share with you what I working towards and maybe you will have some helpful hints for me!

I am working a Dr. Horrible Cosplay; Since Nathan Fillion will be at Dallas Comic Con this year. My dad and I are planning on doing then whole Captain Hammer and Dr. Horrible deal. So dad already has his Captain Hammer all set.  So for me I just order the Jacket, gloves and Goggle. I have an idea for the pants what I really need is the White Rubber boots. (Rain boots)

The Second Cosplay I am working on is Cinderella before the ball, so she in the ragged cleaning clothes.  A group of my friends are doing the Disney Princess for DCC also. So am still in need of everything that Cinderella; tan skirt, Dark brown and light blue top, shoes and the apron.   I have an idea of getting a bucket to carry my stuff in .

So In between work and Cosplays hunt I’ve been one busy woman.  Once I finish my Cosplay I will for sure do  a detail  post about each other and what I did to make it.

Stay Geeky,

Book Pile

Computer is still out of commission, so my apologies for any bizarre formatting. :)

I'm having a bit of writer's block this week. I remembered this morning that oh yeah, I still need to write something. Then inspiration struck in the form of a pile of books: my to-read stack that's been accumulating since last summer. So far, I've read six:

Under the Dome - Stephen King
Cell - Stephen King
Christine - Stephen King
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (first book only) - Douglas Adams
Parasite - Mira Grant
The Princess Bride (including Buttercup's Baby) - William Goldman

I'm currently in the middle of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Still left in my to-read pile (in no particular order):

The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson
A Tale of Two Cities (this one's a re-read) - Charles Dickens
Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
By the Light of the Moon - Dean Kootz
The Time Machine/The Island of Dr. Moreau/The Invisible Man/The War of the Worlds/The First Men in the Moon/The Food of the Gods/In the Days of the Comet (these are all in one big book) - H.G. Wells
The Shining - Stephen King
Around the World in 80 Days - Jules Verne
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (omnibus) - Alan Moore & Kevin O'Neill
Aesop's Fables
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (a gift from a friend upon hearing I'd only read the first book)

What's in your to-read pile or list? Comment below! I look forward to seeing what literature you guys are exploring.

Computer Issues

Howdy friends and fiends! If the formatting of this post seems a bit off, you'll need to forgive me. My computer is out of comission at the moment and I'm using a PS Vita to write this.

YAY TECHNOLOGY!

While waiting to be able to replace the screen, I decided to clean it out this past Wednesday. Armed with my screwdrivers and canned air, I carefully disassembled my laptop and gave it a much-needed cleaning; three years-worth of dust gone in a few puffs of canned air. Puffs, not huffs. Big difference there.

Now if you have insurance on yours, it's still under warranty, or you just don't trust yourself not to break something, then by all means take your machine to a professional. Personally, I just prefer to learn how to repair and/or clean my stuff - it comes in handy when you're on a tight budget and an unexpected 'uh-oh' occurs. Many times it's less costly to do the repair yourself if you know how to properly do it.

If you have any inquiries, ask away. I may not know all the answers, but I can definitely try to get the ones you're looking for if you need help. And never forget the cardinal rule for working on ANY electonic device: ALWAYS disconnect the power supply, whether it's a cord or a battery. You want to shock yourself with your abilities, not with electricity.
