Geek Week Mixoleed (6) - Thrilling Thrillments

So many exciting event this week! School break started, Stone Cold Touch and Dreamfall Chapters released, Doctor Who next time trailer shocked us to the next galaxy and I participated in my first Twitter Party! Ahhh, Beauty on second square.

I also found this awesome, inspiring YouTube channel, called Pandora Journey. (Particularly recommended to fantasy writers.)

As for reading, it was a lousy week for me. I spent a whole day with reading Kindle Samples only and get done very little of actual books.

Geek Week Mixoleed (3) - Grueling Depths

School is so grueling. All those endless lessons, demanding tests and litanies of homework, let alone getting up so early...I commute to school so for me "early" is six fifteen in the morning. There's hardly any daylight at that time even! And who had the stupid idea of making swimming a mandatory subject for sophomores? Even with that one day off on Monday when our teachers all went on an excursion I can't remember doing anything else, but schoolwork. However, this all had an advantage though; it made my Saturday one-day holiday even sweeter. I went to a Spa & Wellness facility with my mother to swim and relax a bit. We don't usually get to spend much time together hence it was especially nice.

Geek Week Mixoleed (2) - Take the Worst and Multiply it by a Billion

Well, this was a particularly shitty week for me. Not the blogging, bookish, geek part, but when I actually have to exist IRL. And that is all I'm going to say about it. For once, I don't want to bore you to death with some lamentation of mine. For second, I really would prefer to not talk about it. I'll only tell you about one thing because it affects my reading; my phone's gone bonkers. All the apps keep crashing down - including the ones that aren't even open. I can't even send a bleedin' text message for Rasillion's sake! But, Cassidie, apart from the very sad fact you can't hang out on Goodreads via your phone, how does that affect your reading? you could ask. Two words: Kindle app.

Yeah. Half the week I couldn't read because I always read my Galleys with Kindle. Wanting is a great force, so eventually I figured out an alternative; I managed to set Adobe Digital Editions into work. But now it's on my tablet exclusively, which I can't and won't take to school with me. 

At least, Sleepy Hollow returned this week and other series will follow soon. Also, this week a good ol' passion seized me towards both reading and blogging which I've lost a while ago in my rush to be near perfect.

Geek Week Mixoleed (1) - Silliness Dominance

Hi there. Welcome to the first weekly recap of my renewed blog, Geek Girl Obsess which merely three hours ago, when I started the reconstruction of the design, was Rebook424. I talked about this changes coming up and well, we are here now. Anyway, this week I posted a few of those posts you can expect in the future. TV show reviews along with the already established book reviews, and video game related posts like the one I posted about my top ten favorite video games. What I didn't introduce this week, but am going to feature later on are movie and video game reviews and walkthroughs and the same old discussion posts. The design is yet to go under some final honing tomorrow and I'm wondering if this recap name isn't too much, but in basics, this is what I'm doing now. Quite frankly, I'm terrified how it will work out, but I enjoyed this week a lot and I hope you will like it just as much.

As for the title, "Silliness Dominance" implies a tragically stupid event in my life this week. On Wednesday to be accurate. Seriously, this is major dumbness. My battery is pretty battered(...) and it goes dead lightning fast. It leaves me at having to connect it to the charger every evening because it drains completely overnight if I don't. However, I happened to forget about it on Tuesday, just as I forgot that my phone is my alarm clock. You can figure it out on your own now. Got it? Yes. My phone didn't ring, I woke up an hour late and missed my whole first class. It was so infinitely embarrassing. (Just as much as that I misspelled "obsess" in my header. Shame on me big time.)
