Another Year Older, Lots to Look Forward To

On By NikkieIn Married with Bookshelves1 Comment

Hellooooooooooooo everybody! It’s ya girl, Nikkie. AND IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!

*kazoo sounds*

In honor of my birthday, I thought I’d do a little blogging and talk about some stuff that I can’t wait to interact with over the next eleven months. Sound good? Then let’s do it!

Black Panther

In Theaters: February 16, 2018

I’ll tell you something: I had no interest in Black Panther (the character) before the MCU got started; I didn’t even know he existed. I barely had any interest in him when he arrived in Civil War because I was too busy being angry with Captain America. But . . . then the trailers happened.

THESE TRAILERS, Y’ALL. Weave: snatched. Bless me with this #blackmagic. I’m up in my feelings about these trailers, and they have made me SO FUCKING PUMPED for this movie.  Continue reading “Another Year Older, Lots to Look Forward To” →

Observations on Harry Potter: Books 1 – 4

On By Super HubsIn Married with BookshelvesLeave a comment

Hello Muggles and Muggle-borns, Super Hubs here with another post that’s just a thinly veiled excuse for me to re-experience something I like! I haven’t read the Harry Potter series in many many years; in fact I haven’t even read books 6 and 7 since they first came out. Nikkie and I have a Christmas tradition of rewatching the movies and we spent the whole time arguing about them, as we do. Harry Potter’s got a way of making us get into fierce debates. A lot. She always wins. I realized finally that this is because she knows the books much better than I do! So I decided to bulk up my knowledge so that next time I’ll win the argument and I CAN SHOVE IT INTO HER STUPID FACE! And just for a bit of fun I’m going to list my current order of enjoyment and in the next post I’ll see if the reread changes that at all. So, before starting the reread my order was:

1. Order of the Phoenix
2. Prisoner of Azkaban
3. Sorcerer’s Stone
4. Half-Blood Prince
5. Deathly Hallows
6. Goblet of Fire
7. Chamber of Secrets

We’ll see how well that holds up! I can tell you now some of the order has already changed. But on to my observations from the first four books! Continue reading “Observations on Harry Potter: Books 1 – 4” →

Rewind the Realm: Game of Thrones, Season 1, “The Kingsroad”

On By Super HubsIn Married with BookshelvesLeave a comment

Hello all you slimy catspaws with sloppy footwork and welcome back to Rewind the Realm! We’re doin it weekly here so don’t expect a fancy introduction every time. I am only a single man and can’t do miracles! Not yet anyway. The dragons haven’t been born and the old powers are still sleeping.

Episode 2 start with Dany and co. traveling across the Dothraki sea. Dany’s having trouble riding on horseback for so long and Jorah comes to comfort her. Immediately he calls her “child.” Jorah is gross. He already has a big ol’ herection for Dany probably, considering the way he looks at her in this scene and the fact that his next bit of advice is about how fucking totally gets easier. He might as well have said “especially with some practice” and waggled his eyebrows at her cus he won’t stop looking at her chest. You’re gross Jorah. Don’t mansplain away Dany’s aversion to being raped. Because that’s what’s happening right now. I’ll get to that in a bit.

Rewind the Realm: Game of Thrones, Season 1, “Winter is Coming”

On By Super HubsIn Married with BookshelvesLeave a comment

Hello all you Watchers on the Couch, and welcome to the first installment of Rewind the Realm; my thinly veiled excuse for rewatching Game of Thrones while pretending to be productive. HBO recently broke our hearts by announcing Game of Thrones won’t be back until 2019 so to get through this dark and terrible year I’m going to try and do a recap of one episode per week.

If you read any of our Recap the Realm posts it’ll basically be like that but (probably) much shorter and somehow less structured. Also Nikki won’t be joining me on this except for maybe a few select episodes. So let’s get this started! Continue reading “Rewind the Realm: Game of Thrones, Season 1, “Winter is Coming”” →
