Hi folks!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I have not in fact abandoned y’all, but have been out of town working for the past couple weeks. After being laid off almost a year ago, I’m living the life of a free-lancer and recently got offered some projects that have taken me out of town. I’m home for a couple days at the moment and then off again tomorrow night for the rest of the month.

So please be patient and bear with me while I do this work. The days are long (12-14 hours usually, 7 days a week) but doing this work will help me to hang on a bit longer and be able to do more blogging when I get back….which is the whole point.

Talk to everyone soon!

ps: Oh and if any of you are attending this year’s Supernatural convention in Los Angeles, let me know. I’m going straight to the con right after this next project is complete and would love to meet any of you attending.

Positively Positive Review – Game: Yoostar

Mokibobolink — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:54:34 +0000

Okay so once again I’ve been asked to review something, this time a game called Yoostar. Now I gotta say honestly that when I heard a little bit about what this game was, I wasn’t too excited. But then I started watching some of the Yoostar videos and I saw how much fun it could be.

Basically Yoostar is a game that allows you to step into a scene of a movie. They have fun ones like ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, ‘The Terminator’, etc. You get to say the lines and thanks to a handy-dandy green screen, you get to be in it too. Once you’ve done your scene, you can also upload the videos and share your awesome acting prowess with your friends.

I searched around and found a clip of Jimmy Kimmel doing s scene from ‘The Terminator’ which is hilarious. That alone totally made me want to get this game so I can play it at my next party. My friends and I would have so much fun with this……..especially after some generous amounts of alcohol.

Overall a really fun looking game that I can’t wait to try out.

Ps: For those of you waiting for more tv reviews, please be patient. I haven’t abandoned them, I promise. It’s just that the Olympics preempted them all and I haven’t had any new ones to watch. I may be a few days late with the reviews of this week’s NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles as I’ll be working out of town until the end of the week, but I’ll post them as soon as I can!

Positively Positive Review – Hobby-eStore.com

Mokibobolink — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:27:17 +0000

I was invited to take a look at a site called “Hobby-eStore.com” and give a review.

The first thing I said when I checked it out was “cool stuff!” as it totally reminded me of the tons of fun I had as a kid playing with various radio controlled cars, etc. My preference was for cars and trucks (yes, I was a tomboy sort of girl, can’t you tell?), but they have a really awesome radio controlled helicopter up there too. I never had anything that flew and somehow I think that would be a real blast….though maybe not inside, lest you have your mom (or maybe your wife or husband) screaming at you not to break stuff. LOL.

Overall a great site with lots of fun toys, for young and old alike. Whether you like radio controlled cars or want to try your hand at a Radio Control Helicopter, I’m sure you’ll have a blast either way.

Positively Positive Review – Supernatural: My Bloody Valentine

Mokibobolink — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:41:41 +0000

When I sat down to watch this week’s Supernatural, I have to admit that I was expecting another comedy episode. The preview last week, plus another clip I caught on the fan page on Facebook, made it seem like this was going to be a regular laugh-fest. Boy was I wrong.

Instead we saw some of the hardest scenes I’ve had to watch with the Winchesters. After all the hard work it took to get Sam off the demon blood, Famine rides into town and gives it right back to him. The worst part is that he has to use it to save them all and in doing so, it gives him more power than ever and makes it that much harder for him to come down again.

Plus there was Dean. I knew Dean wasn’t happy but hey, when is Dean ever really happy, right? I had no idea just how bad off he was. Even when he didn’t appear to be affected by Famine, I believed his explanation of being “well fed”. In the beginning I even thought maybe the sadness we were seeing was a symptom of Famine, since Dean could be yearning for a life he didn’t have. Neither was correct and it turned out that the truth was much worse. Dean has given up the fight in the worst possible way, all the way down to his very soul and even goes so far as to beg for help from Heaven.

We have six long weeks to find out what happens next and I am very nervous to see who (or what) answers Dean’s plea.

Highlights….

Giggling over the title, seeing as how Jensen starred in a movie by the same name just last year (awesome flick by the way).

That opening scene was just….wow.

Finding that Dean used to love Valentine’s Day and dubbed it “Unattached Drifter Christmas”

“Now prison maybe…” *foot falls off chair* – okay seriously, that was hysterical. Loved the way they cut that little sequence.

Sam’s appetite for demon blood returning and him being able to hear a demon’s heart beating, vampire-like.

I liked the coroner – that guy was cool.

Dean shoving a human heart at Sam and saying “be my valentine.” – LOL!

Dean and Cas having a phone conversation while standing right in front of each other.

Finding out that Cupid is a “cherub, third class.” – that means there at least two more classes of cherubs. Wow, who knew it was that organized?

The look on the boys’ faces as a great big fat (and I’m assuming naked since we never saw above his knees or below his chest) guy hugged them.

“This is their handshake” – “I don’t like it” – “No one likes it” – LOL!! Awesome lines.

Cas clumsily trying to reassure Cupid.

Finding out that a Cupid was involved with setting up Mary and John so that Dean and Sam would be born. Whoa, I guess Heaven was not messing around.

Dean asking “what’s the worse than happen, right?” – Really Dean? After all that you’ve been through, you still ask that question??

Another Doublemint moment as Sam and Dean ask “for what?” as one when Cas mentions that his hunger is a clue to what is happening.

Cas’s hunger for burgers coming from his vessel. Interesting. I didn’t think a vessel could have any effect on the angel inhabiting them.

Sam admitting to Dean that the Horsemen got to him and that his demon bloodlust had returned. I was so afraid he was going to try and hide it. It was hard watching Dean handcuff him to that sink though,even if he asked for it.

Feeling sorry for Misha knowing that by the end of the shoot he was probably so sick of hamburgers. LOL.

Dean telling Cas that he was “well fed”. Great line and it made a lot of sense…..too bad he was wrong.

Sam taking on two demons, his face covered in blood and telling one of them to “wait your turn”. Okay that actually gave me chills. Scary.

Dean only waiting two seconds before knowing that something was wrong with Cas.

Being so very, very happy that Dean didn’t pull out the guy in french fry vat.

Cas, on the floor and gorging himself on raw meat. Ick.

Dean equating Famine’s powers with the phrase “Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs”. Only Dean could do that.

Famine reaching inside to see Dean’s soul and finding the emptiness he’s been hiding. I didn’t expect that at all.

Dean calling Sam “Sammy” when he sees his brother on the demon blood again – seems like it’s been a while since he’s done that.

Sam taking down a room full of demons all at once. Whoa. I don’t think he was ever that strong before and it was then that I really started worrying about how he would make it out of this whole thing.

Sam killing the demons inside Famine in order to kill Famine himself. That was freaking brilliant.

The look Dean gave Sam, knowing what they were going to have to lock him up again to detox, even after he saved all of their lives. Ugh.

n breaking down and looking to Heaven to ask for help. That was hard to watch. It’s so not like him and now I really have to wonder who’s going to answer and what they’re going to do to “help” him. A part of me was even expecting him to just go ahead and say “yes” right there, bringing Michael down upon him.

Overall a really amazing episode and not at all what I expected when I sat down to watch it.

Positively Positive Review – NCIS:Los Angeles – The Bank Job

Mokibobolink — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 23:26:19 +0000

Boy, this show sure did have a lot of us fans in a tizzy all week. Everyone was wondering if Kensi was going to make it or not and it turns out she did, but not after giving this fan a bit of worry.

After losing Dom a couple weeks ago, I was not ready to lose another character so soon. Also, even though I liked Dom, I really like Kensi and would much more sorry to see her leave. She’s the kind of female character I enjoy watching. Probably it’s because I’d like to be more like her myself. She’s tough but sweet and totally able to keep up with the “boys”.

This episode delved just a little bit more into who Kensi is, showing us some treasures she holds from her childhood and letting us know that her father was murdered when she was a teenager. One has to wonder if the unsolved crime is one of the things that made her want to be an agent in the first place.

In addition to the background on Kensi, I also liked what they did with the timeline – showing us the ending basically at the beginning and making us all wonder through most of the show exactly what happens to Kensi.

Overall a tense episode that ended well and gave us more info on one of my favorite characters.
