although the story is bittersweet, it does speak to idea of anticipating the full light & energy of real love, and that is why I thought this might be a good video to share on Imbolc, the second Sabbat of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year - it’s recognizing the seed, knowing if we nurture it just a bit longer, it will grow into something magical - new life, the return of the Sun - it’s Brigid’s holiday - she was the Lightbringer - for me, she is a Goddess of Hope & Faith
the kid in Touch would love JoCo’s song, I think LOL
and this video showing how this bad ass fractal forms is freaking sweet, too :D
Did you feel that? A tremor in the LEGO Star Wars Force? Or was it a RING?
LEGO’s site is sadly lacking on deets, right now, except that these Lordly blocks will be hitting shelves in the Summer of 2012; but io9 supplied a few more bits of tid & some speculated/leaked sets.

I must admit, I did not come to this reading as an objective reviewer – I am a long time fan of Ms. Carriger’s delightful steampunk world. I also must admit, this isn’t the first time I’ve written about her Parasol Protectorate, here on GSB. Last November, I offered up a “series to date” review of [...]

Today saw the release of her novella, Happily Never After, as a stand alone purchase, for the bargain price of $1.99. Originally published in the [...]
If you’re like me, you may have found last summer’s SyFy showcase to be a mixed bag of winners & lossers. (Sort of like those surprise grab bags labeled “Boys” & “girls” in the toy stores – I always picked the boy bags – they always had cooler toys, but I digress….)SyFy is ramping up this summer’s [...]
Many thanks to our guest, today, Professor Randolph Lyall. He comes direct from Gail Carriger’s London, in her deliciously entertaining steampunk series, The Parasol Protectorate. GSB: I know your time is precious, so I’ll jump right in, if you’ll forgive me bypassing the usual niceties. For anyone who may not yet be acquainted with …
Start saving your pennies, my fellow Brickheads….LEGO® announced, today, that they’re introducing Darth Vader’s flagship personal Super Star Destroyer, in the fall.

Terri Garey, the author of the Nicki Styx series, and the just released Devil Without a Cause, posted a fun, new video for her latest book. (To see what this geek had to say about the new book, check out the GSB review.) For old fans and new followers, it’s worth watching because….a) it’s got a kick [...]
Vicki Pettersson’s final Sign of the Zodiac novel hit bookstores, today. I got the opportunity to read the book a wee bit early, however; and I’m here to tell you why you should rush your local bookseller & buy this book (& the prior books, if you’re not current) today. For urban fantasy fans, this [...]
If you’re like me and countless other wenches and knaves, you’re dying to see the next piratical installment of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. (We’ll forgive them for At World’s End.) On Stranger Tides looks like it’ll be rollicking good fun; besides, I’m sort of ethically bound to love it, I think, since they’re [...]
