Blood Trail by Tanya Huff

Back in February I read Blood Prince, the first of Tanya Huff’s Blood Books series featuring private investigator Vicki Nelson and her vampire partner Henry Fitzroy. I liked that book a lot. Well, I just finished the second book, Blood Trail, and I like that one even more. This time out Henry asks Vicki to [...]

Friday Geek Out: Miracle

With the finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs starting up tomorrow and my two favorite teams battling it out for the championship title, this week is the perfect time to roll out my favorite hockey film of all time, Miracle.

The Lost Weekend

Ok, we didn’t exactly go on an alcoholic bender like Ray Milland in The Lost Weekend, but Jeff and I spent an embarrassing amount of time (literally hours upon hours, damn you cable television and your weekend marathons!) with our asses firmly planted on the couch watching Ninja Warrior. This show is like crack or [...]
