One would think finding material for this article would be really easy. It is not, let me tell you. Lately I’ve had quite a bit of trouble coming up with stuff to write about. Thank MCP for the people around me who throw out fantastic suggestions or just mention something I can use.

The Setup

While visiting the boyfriend’s sister-in-law, brother and baby nephew one evening, a discussion began about baby toys. Naturally, the discussion evolved into reminiscing about the toys we used to have a kids. That’s when my boyfriend’s sister-in-law brought up this week’s topic:

As I’m sure you’ve caught on by now, Halfway Between Here and There is, as the boss would say, “delightfully Canadian”. Recently, I did an article on CGI short videos that used to play on the Canadian TV station YTV called Short Circuitz. Now, I would like to share with you one of my very favorite shows growing up as a kid, which also happens to be awesomely Canadian.

IT’S HEEERE! FINALLY! I’m prewriting this for you girls because I plan on being the first in line to see this movie open!!! I hope the weather’s warm, Paul gets crabby when he’s cold. Combine that with a perpetually squeeing fangirl and he may not be in the greatest of moods… Oh no wait. He will probably be squeeing with me. This could be fun…
ANYWAY!
It was recently pointed out to me that this CANNOT be the last installment of the Avengers Edition. Turns out I was missing someone, so there will be another, the last one, next week. This week however, let’s get a look at what the nerd-deities have brought us.
We caught our first glimpse of this blue-eyed englishman in Thor as Thor’s mischievous brother, Loki. He returns to wreak havoc on the whole team in The Avengers (which was released today!! YAAAY!) I am of course referring to:

Tom Hiddleston – Loki

This is it, girls. It’s crunch time. We’re in the home stretch. By this time next week we will be basking in the warm geeky tinglies that will be The Avengers. Let’s have a moment to indulge in an inner squee.

(*SQUEE!*)

Alright. Now let’s compose ourselves and move on to the eye candy. This Modesto, California sharp-shooter is a first-time nerdy character actor. Scanning for any evidence of past geek roles, he hasn’t appeared in much of the geek variety. He does, however, do amazing in this role. I’m of course referring to:

Hawkeye aka Clint Barton – Jeremy Renner

No dainty hellos and pleasantries this time, folks. Oh no. Frak that noise. I’m jumping right into this.

The Setup:

So, Mr. Ungar and I were wastin’ time in the toy section of the local Wal-Mart (have you people figured it out yet? Meh, probably not. HAH!) when these retro nightmares caught my article-starved eye. I picked one up, messed around with it and wanted those squandered seconds of my life back.

CURSED BE THOU, SLINKY! Continue reading »
