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…
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,…
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…
5 Fandom Friday: Gateway Fandoms

#tbt Baby’s First ComicCon
Okay, okay, so these photos are only from 2012. But with NYCC only ONE WEEK AWAY, I thought it was appropriate to share these photos of my first time at ComicCon! I had so much fun, I mean, LOOK at that face! I even got to live out my dream of mackin’ on a Dalek!…
Currently… in October 2014
FEELING: Optimistic. Lucky. Happy. Things are going swell and I really can’t complain! I’m a little busy, and kind of overwhelmed by that, but I like being busy! Or so I keep telling myself! WATCHING: NOTHING! And I’m not even bothered one bit. I have loads of Sailor Moon to catch up on when I…
Have Space Suit – Will Travel
Robert A. Heinlein has two modes: one is for long, drawn out emotional epics that will never leave you filled with characters who feel as close as family. But never forget that he also writes fast, fun stories like Have Space Suit -Will Travel. Meet Kip Russel, starry eyed – or should I say, MOONy…
Flashforward
Last week, I spoke about my disappointment with Jurassic Park, and how I felt the movie was better. In a dramatic turn of events, this week I review the novel Flashforward by Robert J. Sawyer, which was the inspiration for a one-season TV drama on ABC several years ago. SPOILER ALERT: THIS BOOK IS BETTER!…
#tbt A Tale of Two Robots
On January 19th, 2012, I took this photo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn: Pay CLOSE ATTENTION the goofy little robots in the bottom, holding up the carnation? I loved this photo and the robots and the flower SO MUCH that I made that photo my lock screen photo for the past, like, two and a half YEARS….
Currently…in July 2014
FEELING: Dotty and dopey and dripping with dandyness! Sunny days are here at last and I’m making the most of it, stretching my legs on the sidewalks and giving flight to my fancies. I’m taking strolls and seeing sights so sweet it’s like my heart could burst. WATCHING: Monday Night is still Hulu night as…
