Geek Vacation

This weekend, I'll be on vacation, doing some geeky things.  Just a quickie trip, but cram packed with some seriously fun stuff!

The itinerary:
Star Wars:  Where Science Meets Imagination - A Touring exhibit which just happens to be in the area while we are. Arguably the most geeky thing we will be doing this weekend. The Museum also promises to deliver quite an interesting array of other exhibits which speak to the science nerd in me.

Wizarding World of Harry Potter (in Islands of Adventure) - When I found out that I could add on an admission to this park to my HHN ticket for only $20 I was sold. This will be my second visit, and I'm hoping it's less crowded than my initial visit in August of 2011. 
Halloween Horror Nights- As a Florida Resident, I got a deep discount on the tickets, and I've been aching to go for ages.  Once they announced a Walking Dead House, I was not missing this year. There will be other themed houses, including Alice Cooper, Penn and Teller, Gothic, Silent Hill, and Classic Monsters.  Along with the houses select rides are open, including the new Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem.  Loved that movie, and can't wait to experience some of the less "scary" aspects of the evening.

As you can see, I'm completely excited about all of this, and I'll have some write ups on them all when I return.....if I don't fall to the walkers!

It's pretty obvious that I'm a huge Wil Wheaton fan.  He's so awesome, that I include him on my list of 5 people living or dead I'd invite over to dinner, provided he brings a board game and some of his home-brew.

I digress. He'll be appearing in an episode of Big Bang Theory on CBS.  I'm thrilled to hear that he'll be returning to my favorite CBS sitcom, and I can't wait to see the episode.

According to Wil, the show will air on November 8th.  In the meantime, enjoy the picture that Wil posted on his blog earlier today!

Bazinga!

Happy Birthday Cartoon Network!

Can you believe that Cartoon Network is 20 years old?  They brought us The Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and Adventure Time.  Adult Swim brought back Futurama.

When I was a youngling, I faked sick to watch Hanna Barbera cartoons.  It's changed a lot in the last 2 decades, but it's always been one of my favorite places on basic cable.

They're even doing some fun things for their big milestone birthday!  Vote for your favorites!

Cartoon Network, you've come a long way baby.  I'm glad to say I've been there from the start!
