Autumn is the time when we can get really, REALLY BASIC and declare our love of the obvious – and the less obvious – 1. Jacket weather layering fashion is an art form, ladies and gentlemen. Don’t believe me? You must live in a climate where you never get cold. Fortunately for me, I can…

5 Fandom Friday: I Was Born for Broadway, Baby
This is the 5 Fandom Friday I was born to play! I mean, write. It’s all about Broadway, Baby! I’ve been fantasizing about playing these roles on the Great White Way since I was a teenager oh about a million years ago so choosing was easy (thank gawdness, since I’ve still got a million chores…
5 Fandom Friday: Whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I can’t even. This week we’re talking about fandom a deaths we still can’t even. Oh, the feels. Dare we? Truly, dare we? 1. Hoban Washburne from Firefly sorry if you didn’t see the movie, but this happens, and it’s DREADFUL. Funny story: after seeing the movie, I had pizza at John’s of Bleecker, and…
5 Fandom Friday: Geek Role Models
Geeks…among us. They’re out there. Real-life geeks who are changing the world and making it an amazing place for us all. Today, we salute you. We praise you for paving the way for us to crawl out of our Netflix bunkers and wave our freak flags proudly! 1. Neil deGrasse Tyson I was floored by…
5 Fandom Friday: Cross My Heart
Oh my clever title…this week’s topic is “Crossovers that would cause my heart to explode” (get it?) and while I’ve never been one for the crossovers (Why does Angel gotta come back to Buffy? LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE NOW), I can think of a couple that might be fun to watch… 1. Sailor Moon / Buffy…
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: Other People’s Puppies
Rules were made to be broken, nerds! Since I missed last week because I was, you know, up at a cabin in the middle of nowhere, turning 31, I decided to backtrack this week and cover last week’s topic. And do it a little differently. Basically, today I’m going to tell you about my favourite…
5 Fandom Friday: Get Outta My Dreams…
Hey! You! Today we’re all nerding out over fictional vehicles we’d totally hitch a ride in… 1. the TARDIS of course! I would straight-up want to plop down into the TARDIS when David Tennant is driving…”Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick” indeed! Reference to “Tooth and Claw,” anyone? Total nerd alert there. 2. The Battlestar…
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: Spin Spin Spinoff
I’m not a fan of spinoffs, generally, since Angel was such a disappointment after Buffy. Most of the things I love just happen to wrap up in tidy, complete packages. I can’t imagine, for instance, continuing the story of Les Miserables, or Battlestar Galactica, or Love in the Time of Cholera. So I struggled immensely…
5 Fandom Friday: Not Of This World…
This week’s 5 Fandom Friday features our Five Favourite Aliens! Kick it up to Warp Speed and join me, The Nerdy Girlie, and Super Space Chick and hashtag #5FANDOMFRIDAY and #FANDOM5 with your 5 favourite aliens – self included! 1. THE DOCTOR in all his various incarnations. I think my favourite has to be Tom…
5 Fandom Friday: Fandom Guilty Pleasures
Normally I would say “Nothing you enjoy should make you feel guilty!” but there are those things you cringe to admit like… 1. I adore the Twilight series and I’m glad to see it popping up on other people’s lists too! I feel so bad because the books are a massive commercial success turned cultural…
