I was lucky enough to go to the Supanova Expo in Sydney on Friday to play some Cosplay Bingo with Danny Clayton for Channel V! Supanova is an Australian Pop Culture expo which is basically a geek’s dream – Anime, comic books, superheroes, cosplay and everything in between!! I was in heaven. I totally lost…
I knew I liked Canadians. Actor Leonard Nemoy, famous for his portrayal of Spock in the original Star Trek series, died last week. In remembrance, Canadian fans have taken to their $5 bills, artistically transforming former present, Wilfred Laurier, into a very convincing Spock.
Quick! Everyone watch this leaked trailer of Game of Thrones Season 5 before it’s removed from the internet!
Someone filmed this dodgy cam video of the trailer in an IMAX theatre in the US, which was supposed to be an exclusive preview. Well now it’s exclusive to Youtube and the internet, until HBO comes to ruin the day by removing it, party poopers.
But don’t panic… if it’s already gone by the time you get here, an official and totally legal trailer is dropping very soon.
Game of Thrones Season 5 premieres on April 12, 2015. Yewwww!!!!
Today is Australia Day! Yiewwww! Hope everyone’s had a super chill long weekend. The weather today is totally crappy and unAustralian today, but hopefully your BBQ is under cover somewhere and you’re cracking bevvies in your boardies and thongs nonetheless.
The Triple J Hottest 100 also started at midday. I don’t have high hopes for the results this year… I think I’ve slowly been losing faith over the years. But if Taylor Swift hasn’t been disqualified and ends up #1, Triple J is officially dead to me.
Besides that, here’s a helpful video to help you through today, just in case you find yourself with a fresh stubby and nothing to open it with. Shit happens all the time, amirite? Also I can’t do the lighter thing everyone else can do. So sue me.
The coin and eyelash curler tricks in this vid is actually pretty cool. The rest of the examples could be interchanged for pretty much any solid object with a sharp edge protruding from it, but you get the idea… You can open a fucking beer on pretty much fucking anything. “STRAYA”!!!

Walking Dead Season 5 returns on February 8th, and AMC has just released a trailer of what’s to come in the second half.
I love these teasers. They get me so pumped up. I think Walking Dead has really redeemed itself in the last two seasons. I’m super invested in the characters again and like where the storyline has taken them. If you’re stuck around Season 2 or 3, I’d say try and keep watching. I thought 3 was just a bunch of people hanging out at a farm and having D&Ms with each other waaaay too often. There’s a zombie apocalypse. No one has time to just be chillin’. I want drama, twists, new characters and the ones I don’t like to be eaten by zombies. You can’t do all those things hanging washing up in your backyard for half an episode.

Since Disney has acquired the Star Wars franchise, they’ve been milking it for all it’s worth. This weekend, a Star Wars themed half marathon was held at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. It sold out in just 2 hours with more than 12,000 people registering for the event.
