More mindless drivel about lots of inane crap that few shall care about!

Here comes another fun filled journey into the world of geeky endeavourers, the genres of Sci-Fi - Fantasy - Horror, nerdy angst, absolute loneliness, a pit of desolation, self loathing and a desperate need for the smallest crumb of attention that is my blog.

I'm Zangz, and I welcome you to my little smidgen of the world wide web.

It's been a while so here we go.....

I think it's a safe bet that we may not see a new Indiana Jones movie until 2008. Spielberg has already said that he won't be shooting anything in 2006. So they'll probably shoot in 2007 and then release in late 2007 or summer of 2008. I bet when this puppy comes out a bunch of us will pull a full Star Wars sized geek-out and end up waiting in line at midnight again. They better get on it. It's not like Ford, Spielberg or Lucas are getting any younger. What does it take to get these guys busy on this thing. Apparently there is a script, but God knows when we'll see some serious work being done on this thing. Time is money, let's get going!

Next on the agenda, I've found myself enthralled with the Xbox version of the video game RPG "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, The Sith Lords" as of late. I'm well into it and I find it more than parallel with the first game. So I'm quite enjoying it, but I don't see much progress from the former game to this sequel. I enjoy the game play, so I'm not that bothered by it. But it would have been nice to see far better graphics and a few more significant game play advances than the first game had. But still, I'm enjoying it a great deal. I have heard rumors that the PC version of the game cuts off some of the quests towards the end of the game due to the release date being rushed. I'm hoping that the Xbox version isn't plagued by the same problem.

I've also re-started "The Elder Scrolls II: Morrowind" on the Xbox. Since my old Xbox that died had 8 months worth of the game saved on it, I decided, "What the frell, I'll start all over with a totally new character". It's not like I'm gunna be playing the sequel, "Oblivion" on a Xbox 360 anytime soon. I need to win the frackin' lottery, dude.

I'm reading John Shirley's John Constintine novel, War Lord right now. It's pretty good so far. After I'm done with it I'll get to the third book in the Damphire series, Sister of the Dead. Of course there will be reviews that will bore your sox off that shall follow.

Can you believethat I'm already getting a jones for Halloween. I found myself searching the web for Haunted House sites and having a pang of hunger for the smell of dying leaves and the vision of a blood red, harvest moon. Good lord, I need a Halloween fix.

Hey, I attended my first same sex commitment ceremony last weekend. How progressive am I? It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of female eye candy. The two guys getting married had about 90 brides maids and all were very fetching (and attached, gosh darnit!). Ya know, I never intended the Blog of Geekdom to be a leftist propaganda source, but even the most homophobic retard has to admit to the fact that those in the gay community have to pay taxes, just like the rest of us. Don't you think that they should have the same rights that the rest of us do in this country. It's so sad that we're still trying to progress past this horrible state of puritanical stupidity that forces us back into the times of the dark ages where people were still being burned at the stake and the god police ruled with an iron hand.

Speaking of the god police and puritanical times, you all need to go out and see "V for Vendetta" next weekend!!! If the movie is true to the Alan Moore graphic novel that it is based on, it will kick some major frellin' butt!!! It will also have a very timely message! The fact that actor Hugo Weaving is playing "V" is enough reason for us geeks to throng to the theaters to see it. His Agent Smith from The Matrix and king of the elves in the Lord of the Rings trilogy was short of brilliant. I won't go too far into the story line of "V", but it takes place in the not too distant future where London is ruled by a fascist government. There seems to be one mysterious vigilante who is giving the government a run for their money. If it follows the graphic novel closely, there's gunna be one hell of a twist midway through the movie that will burn your noodles. Rumor has it that movie critics love the film, yet author of the graphic novel (and modern day mage) Alan Moore hates the final outcome. He may still be a bit sore with what Hollywood did with his "League of Extrodinary Gentlemen". Admittedly, they botched that one up a bit.

My weekend plans involve some very old friends I haven't seen in a while, a Admirals hockey game and a session of Star Wars role playing game run by Mad Mario. Then the next weekend involves "V for Vendetta", St. Patrick' day and a Pirate themed b-day party. So I'm loaded full of geeky hapiness to hide away the immense lonliness and self hatred. Yippeeeee!

To end this edition of my blog, I will feature something I haven't done in quite a while. Here's another version of....

ZANGZ'S WEBSITE OF THE MOMENT

Gotham Public Works
A lot of those of us wrapped up into the genres that make up the worlds of the fantastic have an interest in costuming. Many of the Sci-Fi and Fantasy conventions around the country feature costume contests where many a fan with the gift of the sewing needle come forth in a battle for the creative. Here you will find a group that have an incredible talent of recreating many of the costumes from the Batman mythose. Plus the movies, comic books and cartoon shows are represented here. And aren't the female leads quite fetching? So check it out if you have the time. These people spent loads of time putting this all together and it really paid off.

That's all for now. Check back again soon. God knows I'm quite lonely.

Zangz.
