Happy Election Day! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

I know it's been said countless times but it's really important that we vote and elect people who will make good changes to protect people, the environment and so much more. There are a lot of candidates who want to harm so many people and take away even more of our rights. That's why you have to really know who you're voting for and not just for President. Which is why the Mid-Term Elections are also very important.

I hope everyone who can, will vote or have voted earlier. These elections are too important to sit out. To add a little fun to the day, I have a Geeky Holiday TV List of political or election episodes. For more shows and movies, here are my other two lists (1 and 2).

Happy Election Day!

Favorite Fictional Bookworm: Boulder (Transformers: Rescue Bots)

One of my Favorite Fictional Bookworms is Boulder from the Transformers: Rescue Bots animated series. When Boulder isn't working with the other Rescue Bots and the Burns family to protect the small island town of Griffin Rock, he can often be found reading a book from the firehouse library. During the first three seasons of the animated series, the rescue bots had to pretend they were robots so the townspeople wouldn't know they were aliens and since only the Burns family and Dr. Green and his daughter Frankie knew the truth about them, Boulder couldn't go check out books from the Mayor Luskey Library.

However, things changed during the fourth and final season once it was revealed they were aliens. With the townspeople's acceptance, Boulder and the rest of the Rescue Bots no longer had to hide behind a robotic facade and they could simply be themselves. Which allowed Boulder the freedom to go to the library whenever he wanted to and he was able to apply for a library card (and checked out a stack of books). In the 4th season episode Arrivals he also joined the library's book club where they discussed the classic book A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.

What I love about Boulder is that even though he's really smart and inquisitive (his intellect is the equivalent of being an Engineer) but he's also very kind, caring, creative and has a love of art and nature. And not to be forgotten, he's a total bookworm.
