Hey kids! I have some exciting news! As of right now, (YES RIGHT NOW!) You can read me ( YEP, I DID SAY ME!!!) on this fabulous website:
Can you believe it? Well, honestly, neither can I, but it’s the truth. I’ve been honored to be added to their list of contributors, and this is my first piece, a review of last night’s season premiere of one of my favorite tv shows, SyFy’s Being Human! I will be reviewing the episodes every week, among other fun things I’ve got up my geeky sleeve. Please enjoy reading this thrilling excerpt, and in true cheeky fashion, I’m gonna make you click at the bottom of the text to read the rest on Forces Of Geek. Thanks so much to all of my readers, commenters and new blog pals who helped give me the confidence to submit to them in the first place, hoping they would take a chance on me.
A big huge shout of thanks to my pal Calahan at B.L.O.G. for opening my eyes to FOG in the first place, and encouraging me and wasting his time reading and critiquing my craptacular submissions.
Last night was the premiere of the new season of Being Human on the SyFi Channel. I love this show. And I mean love. This is one of the few shows that we watch in our home before the DVR has finished taping it. We actually watch it in real-time, even though we can’t fast forward through the commercials.
I think the concept is great and I love the characters. Of course they take a lot of liberties with the traditional folklore surrounding our beloved supernatural creatures, like vamps walking the streets in broad daylight, but an explanation was given for that early on and frankly, I don’t even care. The basis of the show, combined with the great execution of each episode makes me continue to come back for more.
When last season left off, Sally the ghost was in Limbo, Aiden the vampire had been buried alive as punishment, and Josh and Nora our werewolf love birds were in the woods in a fight for their lives with Ray, the hillbilly sire werewolf.

Thank you! I’m kinda (A LOT) stoked about it.
I can tell. That’s awesome. Congratulations!
You’re a peach!
Well, it’s certainly well-deserved. You are a fantastic writer.
Oh now hush you, it’ll go to my head. We can’t have that, can we?
Why sure! You are a diva, after all.
Congratulations! I read your review, and it’s really, really good. And what a great gig – being a regular contributor. You are on your way to being famous. Keep up the good work. I’m really happy for you.
Famous? I doubt it. But to see my name there is a kick in the pants. Maybe something that pays will come of this one day. Thanks for reading!
You never know. You have to start somewhere, and you’re off to a good start.
Congrats! How exciting!! My mother decided to give away our entire family room filled with the couch, table, TV, entertainment system, etc. in order to motivate herself to get new ones. Did I mention she gave everything away for free?!? Good shit too… Sigh. Therefore, I shall just read your blog post and imagine I’m watching it…
Awwww, that sucks! How soon are you gonna get new ones? I can imagine you sitting on the floor in an empty room with a box of kleenex, sobbing. I hope this situation corrects itself soon!
Thanks so much!
No idea. I ate dinner yesterday sitting on the floor. There may have been tears and tissues involved…
Congratulation! You are an engaging, astute, and rather cheeky, writer…You’ll make a great addition to the Geeks!
Why thank you! Have engaging, astute and cheeky ever been used together in the same sentence? I’m honored!
You are spreading across the world like some kind of zombie virus!
“like” a zombie virus? Honey Boo Boo Child I AM a zombie virus. Just wait til you read about my brother in law’s underground lair. It’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
Don’t forget that your chances of surviving your own zombie apocolypse, due to your bad scores at the training camp, are just about zero… even if you did start it. And please never call me honey boo boo child again, or I will have to Photoshop you into something cruel and unusual… and you know I can…
I promise to never call you that again. And you are so right. I’m so lame, I would totally get eaten by my own kind. The jokes on them though, when they peel open my head, looking for my brain and finding none there. I’d be all like “ha ha, made you look!”
Best last words ever…
Also one of my favorite shows, couldn’t wait for season premiere. Also watched it before DVR finished recording, but waited long enough so we didn’t catch up to the commercials.
