I'm not gonna beat around the bush. As of right now, in this first minute of February 15, 2009, I will no longer be blogging here at Ashley Awesome.

DUN, DUN, DUN!

As for my clues, very loosely, the first five are about things ending and blowing up, hence the death of this blog. Six through nine were about endings, new beginnings, and trying new ( Read more... )

Haters to the Left Airlock

I want to start off with a little explanation about myself. See, I have this love / hate relationship with critics. On the one hand, I completely understand why they are necessary, both for audiences and showrunners alike. However, I also think criticism is a huge problem. I don't mean literary criticism when I say " ( Read more... )

You now have twenty-four hours. Go.

Today is Friday. I love Friday. Today is Friday the 13th. I love those. Also, today is Battlestar Day. I LOVE those. You know what else? Today is Welcome Back to TV, Joss Whedon, Day. And guess what? I LOVE THOSE. Everybody watch Dollhouse.

Also, I had a most excellent breakfast burrito this morning at the B-Line on 4th Avenue. Horridly small space and kind of expensive, but YUM. Seriously, guys: homemade ( Read more... )

He Ain't Got a Leg to Stand On

I would like to start this entry by relating an anecdote for you. It's about bean dip. So. Half the fun of Frak Parties, besides the other half of watching Battlestar Galactica with a bunch of other freaks, is the food. Emily and I have taken great pride in feeding our guest various delectables: homemade pie (with ( Read more... )

For those of you who actually care (you are the better people), my Battlestar Blog will be up tomorrow afternoon sometime, as I've spent all day today herding liquefied snot from my sinuses into the sink (also I finished How I Met Your Mother Season Three -- must decide whether to catch up on Season Four illegally or to just wait for the DVDs).
