In Loving Memory to a Princess in A Galaxy Far Far Away.

In a world full of Princesses needing to be rescued by their Knight in Shinning Armor, Princess Leia taught many little girls that you can rescue yourself. Today, the world all ovet mourns the loss of a true icon, cross-generational, inspiring human being and incredible actress, Carrie Fisher. Princess Leia was different, strong-willed, resourceful, intelligent, brilliant diplomat, fearless. As a little girl I wanted to be just like her, because she resembled my own characteristics. I didn't want to be rescued, I wanted to write my own happy ending, I wanted to be different. And in front of me, was this character who embodied everything I hoped to be when I would grow up. Carrie as an actress was unconventiaonal, inspiring because she was human, not a plastic, un-realistic version of a person, she was real with flaws and many more qualities. There are no words to sufficiently describe how much she meant to me and how deeply I am feeling her passing. To her family, loved o

Going out with a Bang?!

Hello kiddies!! So, I found an interesting article from moviepilot.com concerning the now long running sitcom The Big Bang Theory.  It seems that there have been issues negotiating pay increases for both Kaley Cuoco (Penny) and Jim Parsons (Sheldon). According to the rumor mill and the article, season 11 was potentially in danger to not get green lit due to the negations. But alas, for now things seemed to have resolved and there will be a season 11 after all. Now, I know that TBBT is a bit controversial in our community due to those Geeks who like the show and those who despise it. The nay-sayers feel like the show derives on moving and further stereotyping the community. They are vocal against the fact that the show laughs at the Geek community instead of with it.   Source: epguides.com On the other hand, the people who have been following the sitcom from the beginning of the fact that, it celebrates all the Geeky awesomeness we have to offer. Both sides, I see your poi
