Another day, another anti-science, pro-creationism post over at Theology Archaeology. I am tempted to reply, but I suspect it would accomplish nothing. After all, religious fundamentalists are not swayed by mountains of evidence, so what chance do I have? Yet, I am often a glutton for punishment and, combined with my desire to see stuff […]
Today is ‘favourite show adapted into a movie’. There’s only one winner here. Star Trek has several movies running alongside the TV series and is my choice for this answer.
A juicy one this time. Favourite sitcom. There’s an avalanche of choices with this. Red Dwarf, The League of Gentlemen, Friends, Fawlty Towers, but the winner for me is the hilarious Blackadder. The first series was a bit weak and misdirected, but thereafter it was superbly written and brilliantly acted. I love this show – […]
Whilst discussing the merits of alcohol in society over at Blogging Theology, it struck me that this is an interesting question to look at, and in more than one way. Does alcohol cause problems? Obviously it does. Were alcohol to be discovered tomorrow, it would probably be banned. However, it wasn’t and isn’t, and since […]
Today is ‘favourite guest appearance’. Every now and then, someone pops up in a show and everyone goes ‘aaaaaaah’. Bruce Willis turned up in Friends for several episodes, returning to his sitcom roots. Will Wheaton’s appearances as himself in The Big Bang Theory are always funny, and Professor Stephen Hawking also has also appeared in […]
It’s been a while since the main site has seen any activity (unless you count a refit of my pages about Feminism). For the first time in quite some time, I present several new pages, on a subject I thoroughly enjoy – astronomy. The planets, stars and the wider universe have long fascinated me, and […]
Hot on the heels of Day 16 is Day 17, and this challenge is: Favourite TV animal. Can this be animated? If so, this guy wins hands down: If not, then truthfully, I have no idea. I’m actually struggling to think of animals in television that have left an impression on me.
As I missed this yesterday, let’s quickly catch up. Day 16 is ‘Show with the most seasons’. A little tricky. Technically, Doctor Who has had more seasons than any other show I’ve enjoyed, but Stargate SG1 had ten consecutive seasons that were all more or less of equal length. On a more subjective level, earlier […]
Unless you live under a rock you’ll already be well aware of the latest craze that’s sweeping the globe – Pokémon Go. Nintendo’s pocket monsters have been popular for a long time, but this has transformed the idea once again. Much of it involves being active. People are going out and chasing after Pokémon, as […]
So I’ve surrendered to it. I have three Pokémon so far – a Bulbasaur named Dave, a Drowsee called Lazy (I was going to call him ‘Lazy Fucker’ but thought better of it) and a Ratatta called Riiiicky.
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Do you vote in political elections? You can bet your ass that I vote! Ever since I was a young meerkat, I have regarded exercising my right to vote as an important civic duty. I always vote in general elections, and try to vote in local elections too. I can understand why some people abstain, […]
