5 Fandom Friday: I Shall Name You…
This was a fun prompt to think about! There are so many awesome names out there that I had a hard time culling the list down to just five! I can’t wait to see everyone else’s answers! I got a little fancy and picked two people-names, an animal name, a wireless network name (the most…

5 Fandom Friday: Funko POP!
I can only imagine collecting Funko POP! figures would be a very, very slippery slope for me. For one thing, I have very limited storage-display space in my home. For another thing, they’re all so cute! This year, they’re rolling out figures of some of my favourite fandoms and I just can’t take the plunge…

5 Fandom Friday: Christmas Movies
1. A Charlie Brown Christmas you knew I was gonna bust this one out right out of the gate. My Snoopy love is well-known and this has all the elements: Charlie Brown feeling bad for himself, Lucy charging five cents for Psychiatric Help, Snoopy mackin’ on the ladies…and the most quotable line of all, “It…

Enh, What’s Up, Diane? Ice Cream
ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION: it has recently come to my attention that Diane Keaton, aka TheGreatestStarOfAll, likes to dip carrots in peanut butter.Class, can we think of anyone else who does this? OH WAIT. ME. That’s right. And while I may cringe at the thought of carrots in ice cream, peanut butter on ice cream is…

5 Fandom Friday: Halloween Movies
Time again for more 5 Fandom Friday with The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick! This week’s topic is Halloween movies you must see – which is hard because I don’t really have many! I could only think of three that I *MUST* see every year: 1. It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! OH MY GOD, I…

Geeky Confessions
Circling around the blogosphere is a little link-up started by Mariko of Gamerwife. Loads of other nerds have listed their geek confessions and I think it does the world some good to see that there is diversity and acceptance out there, even for people who think that Riley was the best Buffy boyfriend. Well, maybe…

Jurassic Park
I picked up Jurassic Park in the beginning of the summer, expecting it to be a fast-paced, quick summer read. Your typical “beach/airplane” book. I carried it with me all over town and perhaps the most amusing anecdote I can tell you is that when I was reading it in Chelsea Market, a guy who…

Not For Typical Girls
If you have an hour and a half to kill watching some amazing rock and roll documentary, may I suggest this one? [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVEsta-GPso?rel=0] Last year, it seemed as though punk was all the rage, with the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit at the Met, and all the imitators. What I love about punk is…

Heroes and Villains
While I’m coping with a lot of confusing emotions, I find comic book movies very soothing. Hero wins the day, black-and-white morality. Specifically, the humor of The Avengers and the idealism of Captain America. Superheros can always be trusted to try their hardest, do their best, have what’s right in their hearts. I can’t control…

Currently…in July 2013
My current Facebook profile pic – I thought it was fitting! Feeling: Thankful…(see yesterday’s vlog!) optimistic, and more than just a bit warm (NYC is having a crazy heat wave!) [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkgMnMNg9_Y] Watching: My Big Brother recommended me Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, because I was looking for an old musical and apparently I’m feeling very…

Science Fiction Rubber Creature
So I’m a little opinionated when it comes to Sci-Fi.My relationship with the genre is complicated. Unlike most people, I never saw Star Wars as a child, in fact, I never felt the urge. It didn’t seem to be my “thing.” My grandmother would sometimes watch Star Trek and to me, it looked confusing and…

On The Town, a.k.a. The Coolest Thing In My Apartment That Isn’t My Roommate
One of my favourite (because, let’s be real, there are so many) movies about New York City is a sweet little movie musical called On The Town, about three sailors on shore leave visiting New York City. If you’re snowbound right now, I strongly recommend it. It’s a sweet, funny adventure and it totally holds…

30DHN: A Favourite Movie
For Day 2 of 30 Days Hath November, we are supposed to write about a favourite movie. Everyone knows my two favourites. Hedwig and the Angry Inch, because it’s tattooed on my arm. And Gone With the Wind, because duh, I’m totally Scarlett O’Hara. But whenever I am sick, or sad, or ailing in any…

The Dangers of Male Friends
Source: Uploaded by user via Abigail on Pinterest The [terrible] movie When Harry Met Sally opines that men and women can’t be friends, because “the sex thing” always gets in the way. Or something. I only watched it once, because I completely disagree. I have many male friends with whom the “sex thing” is never…

Well Whaddaya Say, Pilgrim?
Here’s an awkward moment I’m pretty sure most normal humans don’t encounter at their “normal” jobs: When the John Wayne impersonator strides up to you, starts doling out etiquette lessons, draws a self-portrait, and asks what your favourite movie of his is. I like The Quiet Man.
