What was the first CD you ever owned? →
Hmm, the first CD I owned? Maybe Weird Al’s Off the Deep End? I do know that in my family, the first CD we bought was Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms. Now, first cassette album or vinyl record I owned is a whole different story (vinyl: must have been one of the Disney read-along records; cassette: a cheap compilation of classical music — yes, I was a nerd even as a child).
Ace of Base!
Mariah Carey!
Hanson!
Britney Spears!
The Lion King Soundtrack!!!

I… Wh—… Th—…
WTF is “12th place in Zelda”??? Has the author of this image even played Zelda and have an inkling of how the game works? It’s not one of those competitive game where you can end up with a ranking like in shmups or racing games or fighting games… It’s a solo action (RPGesque) game series, so regardless of the actual title being played, you simply *cannot* finish 12th place in the game.

My favorite Doctor?
I’ve been watching Doctor Who since 1993, when I used to watch it late at night on YTV. My favorite Doctor of the classic series is the Fourth Doctor. I like his gentle attitude, I like the eccentricity of the celery branch… but man, I can’t stand his companions. Among the modern series, it’s a tough choice. I like all three of them, although if I must pick only one, it’d be Tenth. I find that whenever a new actor is nominated to the role, I’m initially weary of him until he makes the Doctor his own. It was like that with David Tennant, but also with Matt Smith.

Jem and the Holograms is on Netflix! #Jem #theMisfits #Netflix #MyChildhood (Taken with instagram)
Why do I have a strong feeling that if I tried to watch this, it’d totally ruin the nostalgia factor. I am positive this did not age well. I mean, I watched Fraggle Rock and enjoyed every second of it, GeekBoy who had never seen it before enjoyed every second of it, but Jem…I really doubt it’s going to work like that.
As an owner of the first and second season on DVD, I can tell you that Jem does not age well. Hold on to your memories.
I own some pretty groan worthy 80’s TV on DVD (like the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon), but yeah, I think I’m going to skip on a Jem rewatch.
I actually bought the whole series. Maybe it’s because I’m a child of the 80s, but I do find it a fun, campy watch. I really love the Misfits’ badassery…

Nerd girl problem? Not just that. I’m a translator, so that’s my lot in life too.

As I’m working, I’m currently listening to Project Who?, which I ripped from my personal CD copy to my iPod. It’s always fascinating to go back 7 years in time and plunge back to the days when the series came back from the dead, when it was synonymous with Russell T Davies, Chris Eccleston, and Billie Piper.
Series 1 (or season 28, depending on whether you merge the classic and modern series or not) feels like eons ago, in an era of personal turmoil and renewal, back in the final months of a decade-long relationship with my ex. Incidentally, I had been following Doctor Who since 1993 and the Paul McGann movie wasn’t broadcast in Montreal, so the Ninth Doctor season was really my first *new* Doctor Who season.
Then again, no one could foresee back in 2005 that within a few years, the show would change exec producer/head writer, that several companions would come and go and that the Doctor would even change twice (although we now know that Eccleston was never meant to last over one season, that he served as transition into the modern days).

Hey, that’s the exact model of tape recorder I spotted the other at The Source as I was tying up my boot! :D

Shipping Fail - Wil Wheaton by *melimsah
Great illustration of the Wheaton vs. UPS great war. :D Love Melimsah’s style — I’m not usually crazy about Deviantart, but when it’s used by people who can draw well and are inspired, it’s amazing. :)

actually I agree, I think I remember of having a small crush when I was just a little girl. I always had a thing for smart guys and he was young enough for me so… XD
I think it is all right to have liked him. Why not? Now I see the fail in the character design but back then I didn’t even knew about the fandom wank… or the fandom in general.
I am speechless… this is so awesome.
Now, all we have to do is go back a decade or so and show that to circa-2000 Wil Wheaton, in the days where he started his blog…
