5 Fandom Friday: Nerdrobe Must-Haves

Welcome back to the second thrilling installment of 5 Fandom Friday with The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick!  This week, we’re talking about clothes.  Nerdy clothes!  Frak yes!  My nerdrobe (that’s a portmanteau of “nerd” and “wardrobe”, guh!) is pretty full to begin with but could always cast a spell to create more space for these…

#tbt Last Year’s ComicCon

TOMORROW IS NYCC NEW YORK COMIC CON! I hope everyone’s cosplay is finished, have gotten their flu shots, have bought enough granola bars to stuff into their bags, and have slid insoles into their Storm Trooper boots.  I am so excited to drool on Artist’s Alley, to finger all the merch on the show floor,…

Epic Rap Battles of History

Mad rhymes for your Tuesday morning.  Epic Rap Battles of History pits famous historical and cultural figures against one another.  What do you think? 1.  Adolf Hitler vs. Darth Vader I think Darth Vader totally won this one!  What do you think? 2.  Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates Bill Gates, totally! 3.  Doctor Seuss vs….

#fmsphotoaday prompt was “red.”  Observe my red sicky face. FEELING:  a little sour on Christmas, actually.  My store has been playing Christmas music since before Thanksgiving,which I am not okay with.  If I hear ANY version of “All I Want For Christmas is You,” I may be physically I’ll or commit some kind of violence….

Day of the Doctor

So, did all my Whovians watch “Day I the Doctor” yet?  Because I literally devoted an entire day to the viewing of the 50th Anniversary special and sundry other associated programs. First, the pilot, of course:  which originally aired fifty years ago on November 23rd, 1963:  “An Unearthly Child.”  Followed by the docudrama “An Adventure…

Comic Con 2013

On Friday, I cased the joint and made myself familiar with all the booths and artists present.  On Saturday, I was dressed somewhat in costume – wearing my replica of the 4th Doctor’s scarf from Doctor Who and regular street clothes.  This resulted in getting hit on A LOT.  I was surprised how many people…

Feeling:  DRAINED.  I’ve been working 20-day stretches in a row with no day off.  It’s the busiest time of the year for ghost tours, and after that, it becomes the busiest time of the year for candy store. Watching:  Classic Doctor Who.  Still.  Tom Baker’s clownish sweetness is addictive! Reading:  I haven’t had time to…

Doctor Who / Tom Baker Scarf !!!

Yes, remember a few weeks ago when I started earnestly tackling the most daunting nerd project of all – the infamous Tom Baker scarf?  Ten feet long, it is now FINISHED!  Proving that you never know what you can accomplish until you start! I used this pattern, found on Pinterest, courtesy of the awesome Tara…

New bang trim…what do we think??? Feeling:  EXCITED!  Fall is my favourite season!  I adore Halloween.  New York Comic Con is just around the corner.  And I count the days until my first Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! Watching:  Classic Doctor Who.  I keep returning to it because it has such heart and so much…

Speaking of Saturday…

I haven’t been blogging every day and I miss it!  My computer charge cord was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but thanks to the gross incompetence of the UPS, I have to pay a convenience fee (HA!) and wait an additional week for delivery.  I have no idea how anyone gets packages with UPS.  Unless…

What Is “Doctor Who”?

This was too cute and funny I just had to share. Watching Jeopardy!, eating Haagen Dazs out of the container (did you know it was spelled that way?  I sure didn’t!  MIND BLOWN), the Final Jeopardy category is: “British Television” Oh man, I sooooo got this on lock.  I mean, is there anyone out there…

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…
