IRL, the last couple of weeks have kind of sucked. I got the pseudo-con crud after Cincinnati Comic Expo and I've been trying to catch up on sleep, house work, and home work every since. I'm definitely feeling a lot better now and though I've got a ton of homework, I thought I'd take a minute to share some things I found around the Internet that didn't suck.
Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. And yes, I'm one of those people who starts listening to Christmas music right around Halloween. I love snow, caroling, hot cocoa. Really, I love everything about the Winter, but thanks to Global Warming, we here in Kentucky have yet to experience any of the white stuff. With the Winter Solstice just around the corner, however, we're supposed to see a bit of snow, which makes me super happy.
For the next week, I'm going to be celebrating Christmas with my own "Seven Days of Christmas." Kicking off this week of merriment and yule is Oxhorn's Christmas Special. I've been following Oxhorn's machinima since my friends and I discovered ROFLMAO (Doo-doo-do-doo-doo!) a few years ago. His "Christmas for Geeks" has always been one of my favorite, as well.
I want to thank everyone for entering, tweeting and supporting the contest. I'm pleased to announce that a winner has been chosen (via Random.org) and they have confirmed! The prize is a standard dice bag courtesy of DragonChow.com! I'm hoping to do more contests periodically, so check back for updates there.
Without further adieu...
Congratulations!
Leila of Within Pages I always admit, even on my book blog, that I played WoW and openly flaunt the D&D books on my bookshelves! Not to mention that I visit local game shops like Amazing Wonders.

Blog That Doesn't Suck
Chronic Geek is a blog written by 8-Bit Emma. She is a college student studying Information Systems Technology. Her blog features her loves of comic books, zombies, gaming, music, and Doctor Who. Not only does her blog feature things about herself and her life, but it also spotlights some of her favorite geek finds. She is an insightful writer and I like that way she incorporates her own photography in her blog. She participates in blog memes such as Fishnet Friday and recounts some pretty epic events like her trip to Brewfest 2010 and refurbishing an arcade game cabinet. I think Emma is awesome and I look forward to her blog posts and tweets.
Movie Trailer That Doesn't Suck
Okay, so if you're like me, most or all of your adolescent life was spent in the company of Harry Potter and the students of Hogwarts. I'm sad to see this epic series come to an end, but I'll tell you, this trailer does it justice. It looks absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to see this movie.
TV Theme Song Cover That Doesn't Suck
Just go with me on this one. I'm a fan of theme music. If I had my own personal theme, it would be a bouncy, light-hearted ditty and there'd probably be some ukulele in it. Anyhoo, the folks at Nerdbastards posted this on their site and it was too epic not to share. I'm not watching Game of Thrones until I've read its literary namesake, but I will attest that the opening theme is awesome. This guy created a heavy metal version of it and uploaded it to youtube on Friday. Bask in the awesomeness.
Adorable Puppy Dog That Doesn't Suck
Just because I felt like we needed another video from youtube, here's a video that a friend posted on our gaming group's message board. Actually, this isn't the version he posted, it's actually a better version. I could not help but smile when I saw this adorable pug.
