I’ve been busy over at GeekMom, and I have a few posts I’m really proud of. All of my posts are here, but in the past few weeks I did a roundup of the Best Audio Books for Family Road Trips, Disney’s 2013 Holiday Gift Preview, and HIT Entertainment’s 2013 Holiday Gift Preview. I also wrote I Took My 15-Month-Old to the Movies, analyzing whether or not H is ready for the big screen.

Adam and I may or may not have spent a day driving around Oahu in search of filming locations from Magnum PI and Hawaii 5-0. And by “maybe not,” I mean we did.
The 5-0 headquarters (actually the Ali’iolani Hale Museum).
Apparently this statue is quiet famous, people come just to see that.
Last night was the HUGE series finale event for Lost, and I watched it just like everyone else. But honestly, for me tonight’s series finale of Law & Order is more of a blow. Twenty years of “BONG BONG” are coming to an end in 30 minutes, and without the fanfare and big story wrap-up that Lost had. I’m hoping this episode is epic, but I suspect it will do what this show has been doing for 2/3 of my life: quietly existing in the background, being a genius little powerhouse of ethics, morals, and the ups and downs of the US judicial system. I have always loved it, and nothing is more comforting to me than having reruns on while I go about my life around the house.
I’m officially excited. The quality of this isn’t great, but it’s here! June 11th!
Gizmodo posted the cast for the upcoming A-Team film adaptation today. And I don’t know how to feel about the reimagining of my most beloved childhood TV series (next to The Smurfs and Kids, Incorporated). I loved Star Trek but was by no means a big fan. I was thrown by Michael Mann’s take on Miami Vice but still respected it. Now the real cornerstone of my childhood TV years is having its moment.
This week the world is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Spongebob Squarepants. As I write this post VH1 is airing a documentary on the history of Spongebob called Square Roots. This weekend Nickelodeon is airing 11 brand new episodes.
Formula One is back.
The Australian Grand Prix is on Sunday, and here in the Reeve household it’s been a long, dark time since the season ended last November. I have literally been counting down the months and days since the extremely cool Lewis Hamilton took the championship in a huge upset during the Brazilian Grand Prix. Some people have baseball season and the rest of the year, some have football season and the rest of the year. I have F1 and the rest of the year.
So my weekly email update from Jo Ann tells me they’ve started carrying a line of sewing goodies inspired by Project Runway. This could prove to be very addicting for me as they even have a line of dress forms (although currently “small” is the only size available), and that’s one of the things on my Christmas wishlist this year. The PR dress form is considerably more expensive than a regular dress form, so I will have to be careful not to get too ridiculous about it.
Today, after a rescheduling due to weather, I am finally going for my first haircut since March 2007. I don’t know why it takes me so long to get my haircut. I actually like the process these days, but because I have such ridiculously curly hair I’ve had some awful cuts in my life. This makes me a tad bit hesitant to jump in that chair. I’ve had Afros, crewcuts, mushroom clouds, hair helmets like James Brown, bad chemical relaxers, and more. But basically since I graduated from college my haircuts have been pretty good. I just can’t get over the mental hurdle of getting them more often. When I went last, my stylist told me she wanted to see me in September so my hair could grow out a little. I don’t think she meant September 2008.
I don’t know how long it’s been airing because I TiVo almost everything these days and fast forward through commercials. But I saw this during the Olympics last weekend, and I love it.
