Thank you so much for all of the love and support you’ve given us over the last couple years. We’ve had a blast sharing our thoughts about the newest games, movies, memes and silly toys. Unfortunately, our lives have filled up with some pretty exciting opportunities, and we need to take a step back from blogging on Zaxy to focus on our individual pursuits. We’re all still around online, and we encourage you to check out our other projects!
Please stay in touch with our other projects, and keep reaching out to us on Twitter! You have made Zaxy an amazing place and we want to keep chatting with all of you.
Today is the last day of the Job Hunters Kickstarter, the web series Kristina and I are working on. To celebrate, we’re doing a LIVE show from 4pm-10pm PST today! Join us as we do silly challenges, talk about the series and our characters, and eat cake.
Today we announced a Kickstarter campaign for a new project we’re doing:
Job Hunters is a comedic web series about roommates set in a dystopian society. After college, people must fight in an arena from 9am-5pm daily in order to be properly placed into a career. Job Hunters focuses on one “rag-tag group” of hunters during their down time, spent in a government sanctioned safe house. Yes, there will be blood. And roommate issues.
Kristina and I are creators, writers, and actors in the series along with a few of our friends. We can’t wait to introduce our characters to you and begin filming, but we need a bit of help before we get to that point. If you’re able to, please donate to our Kickstarter campaign! There are some fun incentives if that helps sway you. If you can’t help financially, no problem! Pass it along to a friend, or just get ready to watch in March when the free web series comes out.
It’s NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month! I’m posting this for Kristina, because she is busybusy working on her novel. (Plus it features me as a backup dancer! Whee!)
Are you writing a novel for NaNoWriMo? What about?
I present to you pics of the Rosie costume and Angry Birds costume from BuyCostumes.com. The costumes are surprisingly fun and comfortable, but seriously. In what twisted world do two un-sexy animated characters become your pick for sexiest Halloween costumes?
Ok, this isn't so bad...
WHY IS MY HEAD NOT ON MY BODY?
Much better.
Just reaping the reward of fighting pigs all day long.
Not-so-angry bird.
Possibly one of my favorite photos ever taken of me.
And now I present to you the outfits combined (to form what is possibly the sexiest Halloween costume of all):
You did this to me. And now you don't know how to feel about it.
You saw me in costumes, now I want to hear about yours! Leave a comment with what you’re going to be for Halloween, and on Monday, October 16th a couple random folks will be picked to win $50 coupon codes for BuyCostumes.com! (Coupon’s only good before 10/31, so it’ll be perfect for the final touches for your costume!)
Need some inspiration? Check out BuyCostumes.com: Halloween Costumes 2011. (And a big thank you to BuyCostumes.com for providing the costumes to make this post possible!)
We had such a blast at Emerald City Comic Con, and can’t wait to blog/vlog all about it in the next day or two. But while we finish recovering and gain our voices back, I thought I’d share this video with you all.
I met R2-D2. He stared at my chest and whistled at me. Then he ran away from my friend. He’s a jerk.
Thanks a lot, R2-D2. C-3PO was always my favorite, anyway.
So it’s a bit belated, but we hope you all will still be ours.
The Zaxy ladies all made videos showing off the valentines they made for the winners of our Valentine contest. Winners: Your valentines will be a little late, because someone (GRAYSON) still hasn’t sent his address in. Grayson! Email tara at zaxy dot com!
Without further ado, the winners and their valentines:
Britt’s Choice: Derrick
Kristina’s Choice: Grayson
Tara’s Choice: Griff56
Thank you again to all who entered, it was really incredibly tough to pick the winners. You are all so awesome!
Did you have a good Valentine’s Day? What did you do? (Interesting fact: If you play “You Don’t Know Jack” on Valentine’s Day, it KNOWS. And judges you.)
The time is near for one of my favorite yearly activities: The Science Fiction Fantasy Short Film Festival.
EMP/SFM and SIFF team up to showcase 4 hours worth of short films. Some low budget, some high budget, all amazing. The films all completely range in their storylines, feels, and mediums. At the end of the night, you get a Q&A session with the creators and one of them walks away with the award of “Audience Favorite”. I’ve gone almost every year it’s held, and can still remember some films that I saw in the first year. You’ll instantly forget some, but others will stick with you forever.
Take a look at this year’s trailer:
The festival will be held at the Cinerama in Seattle on January 29th. You can purchase tickets here. (I recommend sticking around for both sessions).
Ok guys… The holidays are over and the Zaxy girls are all actually in town. We’re gearing up for another one of our slumber parties near the end of January, and I’d love to hear YOUR suggestions!
We usually play some games, chat about Zaxy, surf the internet, and eat lots of junk food. So what should we do this time?
Do you have a suggestion for a product/game you want us to try? A recipe/snack you want us to make? Websites we should check out? Other APPROPRIATE things we should do?
Seriously. I mean, pillow fights are always a possibility. But they are scary and ruthless. Let’s keep our suggestions friendly for the whole family.
We’re thinking of livestreaming parts of the night and will give you a heads up the day of with a link. If we use your suggestion, we’ll give you some shout outs!
