Series #5: My Love of Scooby Doo and Fictional Detectives

Howdy Sugars,
  When I was a kid there was no shortage of television. But even then I was watching things that most kids my age wasn't, a big chunk of my television time was dominated by mystery solving detectives. Cartoon or otherwise, didn't bother me, you had my attention if there was a crime to be solved. My Childhood favorites included: Perry Mason, Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Hong Kong Phooey, Scooby Doo, and Jabberjaw. As, I grew up my tastes changed and I watched more grown up shows like, Veronica Mars, Columbo and Law and Order SVU, but that need to solve the crime never went away, I'm 22 now, and I still have a huge place in my heart for Detective Shows. Thanks to Websites like Netflix, Freetv, and Hulu I can watch older shows that weren't around when I was looking for them. Like, the Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Ellery Queen, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, and Newer ones like Sherlock, Pretty Little Liars, Criminal Minds, and Bones.

The Thing is, even though Scooby-Doo continually comes out with a new tv show every year, this past incarnation: Mystery Incorporated, was by far one of the BEST ONES EVER! I've been watching Scooby-Doo since before I could talk, I've even gone back, I've seen every movie, and I own Scooby-Doo and the 13 Ghosts on DVD, The whole Series. This was the only Scooby-Doo series, with a continuous story Arc, and it was COMPLETED, it pulled characters from ALL OVER, Including Johnny Quest, and 13 Ghosts, with the inclusion of Vincent Van Ghoul, The Funky Phantom, Jabberjaw, Blue Falcon and DynoMutt! Unfortunately, Mystery Incorporated reached Completion with the end of the 2nd season, but there is a section of my heart that will be forever hoping for a 3rd Season, We were finally going to see them go to COLLEGE, I mean they've been around since the 60's the least you could do now, would be send them to College.

Until Next Time,
~Spokhette!~

P.S. Convo Continues on Twitter! What is your favorite Mystery Show??

Handheld Mistress #20: Ds Games and MORE

 Its been so long since I picked up my 3DSXL, I didn't even realize that I bought three new games, and didn't even do a write up about them! I've been so distracted with trying to keep up with my job, my boyfriend and getting better from the illness that had me out for three weeks, that video games had completely slipped my mind, I know it's freaking terrible!! For Christmas, My parents bought me a replacement PS3, but I haven't even gotten a chance to play that! I haven't even bothered looking for new PS3 games. The last time I purchased video games, I bought 3 brand new 3DS games, it killed me, it was almost $100! I wound up purchasing Project X Zone, Batman: Blackgate. and Professor Layton and The Miracle Mask. I officially own every Professor Layton Game except The Azran Legacy and the Crossover with Phoenix Wright. ( Which I want so Bloody Badly, maybe I can convince le boyfriend to get them for my birthday...)
  In other Gaming News, my cousin came over and played Pokemon X, so now I have to completely restart my game, because I woke up to my starter on its 3rd evolution, Badge 6 and the pikachu I had JUST caught at level 80! Why did they change the way you erase saved Games? I remember when I had to threaten my cousins with their lives, so they wouldn't accidentally  save their new games, and now I have to press like 4 buttons in succession in order to start it over again, sometimes I beg for the simpler times...
  I was thrifting with Le Boyfriend ( a habit we partake in every once in a while) and while in a booth practically filled to the brim with toys and plushes, who should I happen to come across but Oswald, the bloody Lucky Rabbit!!!!! Now the reason, I'm talking about him during a HHM instead of a thrifting with Gabby original would be because he was included in Epic Mickey 2, and the 3DS companion Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, and the plush is absolutely adorable! Also Disney Specific news, Kingdom Hearts Three is a GO! It is in the works, and it will be the only one that will be a cross platformer since it will be the only one to be featured on a Microsoft Platform (Xbox One) although heaven to betsy I can't understand why anyone would want too.

Until Next Time,
~Spokhette!~

Wicked Lovely

 Hello Lovelies,

  Last Saturday, my sister, cousin, mother and I went to go see a rendition of Wicked at our downtown local theatre! It was beautiful! I've gone to see plays before, and I always enjoy them, but something about seeing Wicked was different. The Cast was amazing, the pit was absolutely outstanding, as a violin and a flute player, I was never able to completely enjoy plays and musicals like everyone else, because I have the unfortunate ability to tell if an instrument is flat or sharp, and it interrupts my ability to enjoy the play, unlike people who don't notice, and you would be surprised by how often they aren't always on key! I didn't have any of those qualms with Wicked. I laughed, I cried, I sang Defying Gravity with the rest of the people in the audience who knew the words. I enjoyed, every glorious minute of Wicked, I could get my hands on. I laughed at my mother's shock, when Glinda started talking to us in a British accent, I thoroughly enjoyed our BOX SEATS! You read that right, My family and I sat in BOX seats, my mother spoiled us heavily because I don't want even want to contemplate going to see another show unless, there are box seats available. But I know I will, because I love the arts. We even ran into the Wizard while waiting for our ride, and he took a picture with us, I really wish I had him sign my playbill but it was much too windy outside.

Welp, Until Next Time,
Sincerely Yours,
~Spokhette!~
