In 2016, I applied for literally every job under the sun. I only got one of those jobs, but that’s because THIS job hadn’t been made available yet. And speaking of “under the sun,” it involves outer space. NASA is hiring a Planetary Protection Officer. Someone to protect the world from aliens. It’s obviously the perfect job for…

“Tradition”
Christmas was ruuuuuuuuuined. When I was very young, it was the tradition to go to Christmas Eve mass and pick up a sheet pizza from Nirchi’s on the way home. Then, one year, we got a deep fryer…and discovered the joy of tempura. It was decided that this year, we would come home from…
Where Have All The (Gay) (Space) Cowboys Gone?
I wanna do an experiment. Raise your hands if you love science fiction and identify as LGBTQ+ OH DAMN that’s a lot of hands! Put ’em down, you’re makin me slap-nervous. Okay, hands down, we can all agree that LGBTQ+ people exist, and that we definitely enjoy all manner of things, including sci-fi, so then……
5 Fandom Friday: Apocalypse NO
The apocalypse is no fun, people. Shit goes down, you gotta have a seriously good crew. This week, we have the opportunity to assemble our apocalypse-proof posse to help us through these trying times. 1. Buffy Summers has survived how many apocalypses now? She’s basically a pro at this. I would have Buffy as my…
5 Fandom Friday: You Said It
This week’s 5 Fandom Friday is inspired by la langue de geek, it’s those geeky phrases by which we all identify each other and converse by droppin catchphrases yo! 1. “It’s in the frackin’ ship!” oh man, this more than probably any is my favourite to whip out during parties. Squint one eye shut, grasp…
5 Fandom Friday: Con Swag
Speaking of Con Loot, everyone’s pictures of SDCC looked so fun and yes, I fell for the internet prank of the Firefly cast reuniting. Quick subject change! Showing off some of the cool swag I’ve bought myself at NYCC: 1. Dalek shirt which is so soft and comfortable and lovely!!! Also hilarious because when I…
5 Fandom Friday: FBFF’s
Like, if these people actually existed, we’d totally be best friends in real life because how could we not? 1. & 2. Willow & Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer are the coolest people in the whole of the world forever and ever amen. If you don’t get along with these two, you’re probably deficient…
5 Fandom Friday: Fandom Resolutions
I’m not like, 100% sure what a “fandom resolution” is yet, so I may be wayyy off base here in my list, but I’m also really excited to see how everyone else interpreted the prompt! On with the Five! 1. Watch more Classic Doctor Who (2, 3, and 5) because I loooove me some Tom…
5 Fandom Friday: Fictional Friendsgiving
1. Hagrid seems like he knows how to bring the party, huh? I imagine he wouldn’t be the easiest party guest to have (possibly breaking chairs and all) but I don’t stand on formality. 2. Ralph Dibney might otherwise spend the holiday alone, what with the whole…Identity Crisis incidents and all. If your heart doesn’t…
Sunday at NYCC
Sunday was my longest day so far at New York Comic Con, with the least photos to show for it! I decided to try to throw together a last-minute costume and felt really cute doing this twee, hipster, gender-bent Fourth Doctor! Saw the talking K-9 and couldn’t resist. We made a smashing pair, isn’t that…
Saturday at NYCC 2014
So on Saturday at NYCC 2014 my friend dressed up as Ragdoll from Secret Six. I spent a good part of the day taking photographs of his awesome cosplay and of getting his mask signed by Gail Simone – who confirmed NEW SECRET SIX STARTING IN DECEMBER! At least we have something to look forward…
Friday at NYCC 2014
Friday morning I was all set to get to NYCC2014 bright and early when disaster struck! A water main broke on my subway line – where’s Aquaman when you actually NEED him? – and I wound up missing the only panel I really wanted to see that day. It took a while for the pieces…
