[VIDEO] Whitney Watches: Teen Wolf 5.12 “Damnatio Memoriae”

Posted on January 13, 2016January 14, 2016 by Whitney

Another week, another vlog! I apologize for not getting this up yesterday. As it turns out, my editing skills are a bit rusty, so I missed out on that golden window of when I’m the only person using the internet in the house. Slow upload speeds are a pain, let me tell you. But it’s…

Whitney Watches: Teen Wolf 5.11 “The Last Chimera”

Posted on January 7, 2016January 7, 2016 by Whitney

Well guys, we’re back in Beacon Hills – for better or for worse. This episode picked up exactly where things left off- with the fall out from the night of the Supermoon. As I mentioned in the recap I posted earlier this week, a lot happened in the finale. Theo’s evilness was revealed, Scott died…

George Lucas still can’t let Star Wars go. (Creator woes)

Posted on December 31, 2015December 31, 2015 by Whitney

When it was announced that Disney was buying Lucasfilm (and the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises), I wondered how Lucas was going to handle it. This is, after all, the man who was so incapable of letting go of his creations that he continued to tweak them with every re-release. George Lucas gave an…

Facebook’s On This Day. How to Protect Your Sanity.

Posted on December 9, 2015December 9, 2015 by Whitney

Yesterday, I blogged about Facebook’s On This Day showing me posts from the day I learned a dear friend died. And I realized, with the amount we share- most of us likely have days that we’d rather not relieve. Deaths of friends, Anniversaries with Exes. People who turned your life upside down. Thankfully, there’s a…

Trailer: Batman vs Superman

Posted on December 3, 2015December 3, 2015 by Whitney

I’m in Las Vegas. There’s been a lot going on, and I’ve started and scrapped three drafts of a post about the shooting in San Bernardino. (I can sum up my reaction in two sentences, it seems. Thoughts and prayers have done nothing to stop mass shootings, which are tragic and should not happen with…

Review: The Good Dinosaur

Posted on November 24, 2015November 24, 2015 by Whitney

I was fortunate enough to get to see an advanced screening of Disney/Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur, and I wanted to get this review up in time for you to decide whether or not it’s right for your family. As someone who writes Alternate Universe fanfics, I ask myself a lot of questions that start with…

Tumblr: Goodbye Replies and Hello Messaging.

Posted on November 19, 2015 by Whitney

I have long been a fan of Tumblr. While it’s hard to describe, it’s a very visual way of communicating. And it’s fun, most of the time. Now that Tumblr has been acquired by Yahoo, they’ve slowly been migrating towards a more homogenous social media experience. Which means what? It’s acting a lot more like…

NaBloPoMo #4 – Whitney’s Guide to Introducing Kids to Conventions

Posted on November 5, 2015December 15, 2022 by Whitney

This has been our first year taking the Kidlets to comic cons, and I think we’ve learned a lot. And I thought I’d share our tips to introducing kids to comic conventions. Take your kids for only one of the days. Sundays are best, because they tend to be the least crowded- and I know…

NaBloPoMo #2 – Comikaze 2015

Posted on November 3, 2015November 28, 2022 by Whitney

I don’t drink, but I have a hangover. I’m an introvert, and have a chronic illness – I tend not to overbook my weekends, but sometimes things can’t be helped. In the course of the weekend, we had a 5k, Halloween necessities, and went to a comic convention. Even the Oldest Kidlet who is most…

Update: Teen.Com’s Fanfic Shaming Post – Does Editing Fix it?

Posted on October 25, 2015October 28, 2015 by Whitney

Update: Teen has taken down the blog post entirely (I’m glad I have these screencaps), my thoughts at the end of this post Yesterday’s post was spread by a fair number of people on the internet, and that makes me happy. It wasn’t just spread by fanfic writers, but by people who understood that bullying…
