Snowpocalypse

   So, we've had the weirdest week ever. We experienced a so called "snowpocalypse" here in Auburn. Due to that, we had a three day weekend in the middle of our week, because the university shut down from Tuesday until Thursday. We did have class today, Friday, and you know what, I was so relieved to get out of the house without fear of freezing my face off. Also, I had already baked a whole batch of sugar cookies from scratch and could have made a batch of snickerdoodles. Apparently, I bake and cook a lot when I am bored.

   Again, we didn't have any single episode this week that blew our minds. But, we highly enjoyed drunk Sherlock and John, but mostly Sherlock. (Egg, chair, sitty-thing) During the guessing game scene, we think that they just turned on the cameras, told them to have fun and then the crew went and took a coffee break. It was also a study in how to give the most awkward best man speech the world has ever seen. There many "awww"s coming from the couch, as well as second hand embarrassment for both John and Sherlock. Also, can we talk about Dean from Harry Potter? He grew up nice! There's no way magic was not used on that set, as the entire young cast grew up so nicely.

    We are still playing our way through Twilight Princess. Thus far tonight, we have completed SnowPeak Ruins, and are well on our way to completing the Temple of Time. Neither of them were hard, they were just tedious as all get out. Ugh, words can not describe my dislike for tedious, time consuming temples. But, it only means we are two steps closer to the end of this game! Hopefully, we'll be able to find another awesome game to play our way through for you!

See you next week!

Arbiter's Grounds

Good Evening Everyone!

This week has been uneventful... unless you count the emotional damage caused but Sleepy Hollow's season finale on Monday, the below freezing temperatures in our small college town, and just the sheer exhaustion caused by sickness and school.

My point being that it hasn't been a fun week for us at all, which is why, when it came time to post, Morgan and I did nothing but continue to play our game of Twilight Princess. Which we started about 3 years ago. And beat the Arbiter's Grounds (Desert Temple) the first time around. There was much yelling from the both of us, me standing with the controllers and jumping up and down, and overall, relaxed hanging that we both really needed. But I think you all understand that feeling.

Overall, we weren't overly excited about any TV show this week, despite Sherlock Season 3 premiering on PBS last Sunday. They were all very good episodes, but none really stood out above the rest. However, as we debate weather or not we will make an appearance again at Dragon*Con (torn because next semester is Morgan's last, so she'll be super busy), we are trying to narrow down our shows to determine our cosplay. Best part though, we have, someone who is interested in coming with us, so we could do an even bigger  (by one person) group cosplay; I think that it would be so much fun! And speaking of cosplay...

So, Morgan and I agree wholeheartedly agree that our Femlock is a bit underrated. Plan to fix that? Big, fat YES! Better pictures will be taken. Multiple angles of footage. And- well, that's a surprise! :P

Hope to see you all next week,

McKenna

You Are Here

Welcome to the New Year! We hope to be actually blogging weekly now. (I say hope because we are really freaking terrible at it, whoops) But, anyway, we have some cool things in the works. We think that you'll really like it, and can't wait for you to see it! We are going to have a new set up on the blog, our salutation and announcement section, a basic run down of all the shows we watch, and then we will go in depth about the one we both really liked from the current week.

We're going to talk about our shows too. (woop, woop, Sherlock is coming back on the 19th!) We watch Arrow, Sleepy Hollow, Agents of Shield, Teen Wolf, Almost Human, Sherlock, Psych, Being Human (UK, from my end, and US, for the both of us, I am only just starting season 3 on Netflix, and McKenna is finished with season 2, but hasn't kept up.) and McKenna watches Elementary and The Walking Dead. We have finished Merlin, and still love it. I watch Once Upon a Time, when it returns, which I am excited, but kind of scared for, because, UGH, that mid season finale! I also love Chuck! Don't be afraid to start up conversations about each show (keep it respectful) in the comments below, since we would love to talk to you guys! (We don't bite, no worries!)

 So, this week, our favorite episode was "You Are Here" (Almost Human). We are really intrigued about this future society, but our main question is how this society is literate, since they were surprised to see a pen, clearly it is no longer a common object that haunts the recesses of everyone's junk drawers. I mean, we know that it is 2048, and it is a highly technical society, and "ancient" technology such as a manual writing instrument would be something that school children would see in a class trip to the museum. (Sidenote: I was in LA recently and I saw an iPhone Gen 1 in the history museum there. Do you feel kind of old? Because I do.) Even today, children are walking around with iPads, iPhones, and various other gadgets that I didn't even have until I was in high school! So, clearly, we are advancing toward a society like the one we see in Almost Human quickly. I like that they showed Kennex writing the letter at the end, perhaps physically writing something down is a dying art, which makes it that much more special, for a guy who doesn't like to get in touch with his emotions.

Stay tuned every Friday for more fun with us!
Morgan and McKenna
