How does a Geeky Online Book Club sound to you?

While I was at work, I came up with an idea: Why not start an online book club?There is probably ones out the already, but I wanted to start one of my own. I don't have many ideas/plans for it yet. This post is just to put out the idea, and to see how many people would like to participate.  Let me know either through comments here, or via Facebook or Twitter. Also if you have any ideas/suggestions let me know as well! If I get enough people (( Or even just one person at first, lol)) we can figure the details later. :-)

Firefly On Twitter

I am pretty sure that most of you will agree with me that Firefly is fantastic show.... with one major flaw: It was too short, but this post isn't about complaining about that. Nope, it is a list of all the actors who were on Firefly that have twitter accounts. As always if I have missed anyone kindly let me know!
** Summer Glau (( River Tam)) has a twitter account but there are zero tweets.
I am sure there are more,  this is just the Main cast and recurring cast... I will look for more when I can and of course if you know of any let me know! :-)

#MakingPeopleSmileOneTweetAtATime Challenge

Well I am pretty sure everyone will agree with me when I say that this week was a pretty bad week, so  I thought it would be nice to spread some joy and humor across Twitter.  I came up with the Hash-tag  "#MakingPeopleSmileOneTweetAtATime" , that I used on tweets that I am pretty sure will get at least one person smiling or even laughing.  My challenge is I want you guys to post at least 5 tweets that will make people smile each day. It won't solve all the world problems (( That would be awesome though)), but it could make some one, who has been having a bad day, feel a little better, which is always a good thing. You don't have to use the hash-tag, it's pretty long, but do try to post  Smile-worthy tweets as often as you can. If you do use the hashTag I may feature some of the tweets  in a blog post, and if you have Smile-worthy story too lengthy for Twitter send me an e-mail ((PM me on twitter if you don't have my e-mail so I can send you my email)) or  a comment here and I will also feature that.
  I am also doing this in honor for all the victims of the Boston Bombing.  So what do you guys think about this?

Sad News: the Passing of Richard Griffiths

The Late Richard Griffiths  (( July 31st 1947- March 28 2013))
Today we learned that we lost the wonderful  Richard Griffiths  due to complications following heart surgery yesterday, Thursday March 28th 2013. He was 65.  He is properly best known for as Uncle Vernon Dursley from the Harry Potter movies, and Uncle Monty from the movie Withnail & I. He also played Jeltz in the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Also with  some sad serendipity I was watching  Sleepy Hollow  last night in which he played  Magistrate Philipse.  It may seem silly but when ever I hear of a death of an actor I like, I feel like I had lost a dear friend. R.I.P Mr. Richard Griffiths, you will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to his Family, friends and fans though these tough times.

Future "The ABCs of____" ideas

I am having a lot of fun with my "The ABCs Of Doctor Who." I hope everyone else having fun, either doing it or seeing the pictures.  I was thinking sometime in the near future after we finished up with this current challenge, I could start up another "The ABCs of____"  challenge.

In Loving Memory: Nicholas Courtney

Nicholas Courtney ((Dec. 16 1929- Feb. 22 2011)) as The Brigadier
Two years ago today; we had to say good-bye to the wonderful Nicholas Courtney. He, of course, played Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, on Doctor Who.  His first story on Doctor Who, was in the first four episodes of the 1st Doctor's story "The Daleks' Master Plan", He played Special Security Agent Bret Vyon. The first story he played as Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart was the 2nd Doctor's story "The Web Of Fear". He is definitely one of the most iconic characters of the show. Between the televised stories and the Big Finish Audio stories, he acting along with the first 8 Doctors. He also played The Brig,on The Sarah Jane Adventures, which, of course starred, the late Elisabeth Sladen, in the episode "The Enemy of the Bane" .  You are extremely missed, Nicholas Courtney, and you will always be held in special place in the hearts of The Doctor Who family. R.I.P
