Nerd Church - Caffeinated Current Events: Dear Lord, the Breakfast (Brexit)
I swear to God. I swear to Iesu Grist. Wtf parliament dudes?! Wtf?!
Breakfast (or, as some people call it, Brexit,) isn't going too well, so I'm hear to explain in a caffeine-fuelled, (hopefully) satirical fashion!
(Note: these are my opinions, you can totally disagree with me, I don't mind.)
Yep, this is another 'Caffeinated Current Events' post - 'cos you lot seemed to like the last one.
(It's a little like Drunk History - only sober and present-day, so... not.)

Friday Fics Fix - He's a Phantom!
'Most of the lesson was spent in silence, with the usual crash outside followed by Danny's hand shooting up and asking to go to the bathroom; reappearing later on when the ghost fight was over, claiming to have gotten stuck under some debris from the fight.'
I miss Danny Phantom.
I really hope that at least some of you have heard of, and/or watched this cartoon, because if not it's just an injustice!
(Also, it ended over a decade ago and I feel very old now.)
And a shout-out is due to the awesome Carrie @ Cat on the Bookshelf, who got me in a Danny Phantom mood!

Nerd Church - Media Overload: Quality, Quantity, and Diversity
There is more media and entertainment in our world today than ever before.
Even putting to one side the numerous web-pages and status updates that are published every single second, the rate at which new books, films, TV shows, songs, etc. are being created and published is immense.

Friday Fics Fix - Digging For Victory
Hello 2019! We got fanfiction, we got Bucky Bear, let's get down to it!
'Theoretically, she knew he must go other places sometimes, but it didn't seem to happen often, and from his overall air of nervousness, he seemed to be uncomfortable with it too.'
One of my favourite things on this planet is fanfiction which uses self-care and general mental-health recovery as its focus.
When the character involved just so happens to be my Bucky-bear, aka Bucky Barnes, aka The Winter Soldier, it's like icing on the cake.
(In related news, I'm hungry and would very much like some cake, with or without icing.)

Month In Review(s) - December 2018
In order to fully boot 2018's a** out the back door, there's still a little business to attend to - in this case, December's wrap-up.
Except for Christmas (which is always amazing - I love Christmas,) December sucked.
