I randomly grabbed this book from the library simply because it deals with Winnie The Pooh. As i started reading it; it talks bout the Pooh bear knowing all about Taoism because of how he thinks throughout the Winnie The Pooh Series. Pooh thinks simplistically without overthinking things; one of the principles of Taoism is simplifying things, being of the… Read more →

Steel City Comic Con
This weekend is the Steel City Comic Con in Monroeville (not far from Pittsburgh maybe 20 minute drive). I ended up going later in the day today because I had to go to work. I walked into the convention, thinking I walked into the dealer’s area and that there was more in different areas of the Monroeville Convention Center. But… Read more →

Anthrocon 2013
On a whim we decided to check out Anthrocon this weekend. It was my first time at the convention and I have to say I had a lot of fun.

2013 Cosplays Thus Far
Thus far the most popular cosplay we have seen in 2013 has been Sword Art Online and League of Legends. Throughout the conventions we have been to and the coverages we have been keeping up we have seen some amazing costumes for both. I think so far my favorites have been from League of Legends because there are so many… Read more →
Cosplaying Cat
Almost inadvertently we found out that my cat Falcor likes to wear costumes. We found a costume for a dog and Tom brought it home. We tried on the cat and he wouldn’t let us take him out of it. Whenever we put him in it now he still likes to just lay around in it. One night we were… Read more →
Defiance

The idea of the show is that in the future the earth has been terraformed and is now the home of many mutants, aliens, android beings and more. A drifter and his adoptive daughter take roots in the town of Defiance (former St. Louis) to… Read more →
