Sci-Fi Shenanigans

Reaching for the stars in the new year

I know I've neglected this blog lately. Hey, the holidays snuck up on me, and I've had to schedule in time to breathe. With things calming down, I've been cataloging my unfinished sci-fi shenanigans and realize I have a lot of them. So here's what I'll be doing in regards to sci-stuff in the coming year.


Books: finish the following books

ASIN: 0060892994	A Canticle for Leibowitz Product Type: Book
	Amazon's Price: $ 10.49 Buy Now!

ASIN: 1439171254	Star Trek Movie Tie-In Product Type: Book
	Amazon's Price: $ 17.92 Buy Now!

While I do enjoy a good sci-fi book, books are rather time intensive for me. If I get everything else finished, I'll consider getting the following and starting on it.

ASIN: 0060741872	Alas, Babylon (Perennial Classics) Product Type: Book
	Amazon's Price: $ 7.49 Buy Now!

TV: This should take a little less time, and these activities will most likely result in discussion posts.

1. finish Heroes and dive into Flash Forward; I'll probably marathon the latter this weekend or so since I'll have some time.

2. get caught up on the new Doctor Who; I actually saw most of Season 3 but want to see Seasons 1 and 2. I have season 1 in my Netflix queue and received Season 2 as a gift a couple years ago.


Movies: Be on the lookout for movie reviews galore! Some of my choices are cerebral, while some are utter trash. Yeah, I am capable of watching trash. Whether or not I enjoy it is another matter altogether. Here's what's currently sitting in my Netflix queue.

ASIN: B001MT7ZEW	Repo! The Genetic Opera Product Type: DVD
	Amazon's Price: $ 5.99 Buy Now!

ASIN: B002935GN2	Race to Witch Mountain (Two-Disc Extended Edition + Digital Copy) Product Type: DVD

	Amazon's Price: $ 14.67 Buy Now!

ASIN: B000JMK6LW	A Scanner Darkly (Widescreen) Product Type: DVD
	Amazon's Price: $ 14.64 Buy Now!

ASIN: B000FS9FCQ	V for Vendetta (Two-Disc Special Edition) Product Type: DVD
	Amazon's Price: $ 8.90 Buy Now!

ASIN: B000G8NXZA	Brazil (The Criterion Collection) (Single Disc Special Editon) [DVD] Product Type: DVD
	Amazon's Price: $ 41.39 Buy Now!

ASIN: B002T9H2MO	Moon Product Type: DVD
	Amazon's Price: $ 13.99 Buy Now!

Trust me when I say that list could be longer, as I've been intrigued by some of the recommendations I've been getting from Netflix. I think all the movies I rate/watch confuse the computers that make recommendations. On the other hand, the fact that it can come up with "cerebral foreign science fiction" at all is kind of awesome.


On that note, stay safe this New Year's Eve! I will probably kick off 2010 in this blog with my long overdue squeefest commentary on the Star Trek DVD that I haven't watched enough (for my taste, anyway).
