    Blogtember #16: Review — Living Single

    All the Single Ladies, Put Your Hands Up.Let’s be honest.  Having a relationship is great, but being single is tha bomb.  Whether you’re a veteran at being unattached or freshly dumped, you have to agree that it’s somewhat of a relief to be footloose and fancy-free!  I even made a little poem about it! S…

  • Doctor Who / Tom Baker Scarf !!!

    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…

  • Blogtember #1: The Twilight Zone

    Blogtember #1: The Twilight Zone

    In five days, it will be five years since I became a New Yorker.  New York City is a city of immigrants, from other parts of the world and all over the world and sometimes – maybe – out of this world.  When people ask where I’m from, I earnestly and honestly answer, “The Twilight…

    Currently…in September 2013

    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…

    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…

  • I Am Supergirl !!!

    I Am Supergirl !!!

    There used to be a saying.  It went a little something like this:  “If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Now, I think we should change the saying:  “If a blogger wears a cute outfit, and doesn’t do an outfit post about it,…

  • What Is “Doctor Who”?

    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…

  • Head-Space

    Head-Space

    I have a theory.  On interior decorating. My theory is that you decorate your personal space the way the inside of your head looks. What? Ew. Not literally.Let’s take for example, my apartment.  My flatmate is very organized and responsible.  She is a self-described fan of modern, minimalist design.  Nothing on the walls, nothing on…

  • Awesome Weekend-Brag

    Awesome Weekend-Brag

    Welcome back to the other side of the weekend!  Working a non-traditional job, I have a weird concept of what a “weekend” is. Soucre:  TV Guide Nevertheless, My weekend starts on Wednesday night (like Friday night for you folks) and Saturday is my “Sunday.”  Well, this weekend I kicked off by giving an awesome private…

  • The Book Phantom

    The Book Phantom

    One of the coolest things about NYC is that you can always buy secondhand books (the best kind!) for next to no money almost anywhere.  Everyone knows about The Strand, which sells way below list price.  But if you’re just browsing, you can pick up a fascinating read off the street for a couple of…

  • Science Fiction Rubber Creature

    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…

  • The Key To Hitting It Off With Strangers

    The Key To Hitting It Off With Strangers

    Crowded 1 Train, headphones in.  Trying my best to squish into an impossibly tiny space while carrying armloads of groceries, keys in hand. A stranger taps me on the shoulder. “So nice to meet another Doctor Who fan!” Earphones come out. The older gentleman and I launch into an extensive conversation about the new direction…

    Currently…in June 2013

    Feeling: EXCITED!  I have so much awesome stuff going on, and so much to look forward to!!!  Well, I’ll get to that!  Watching: Black Butler – an anime series that a friend turned me on to.  At first, I wasn’t sure I could get into it, but I always try to give TV at least…

  • I See Dead People (Maybe)

    I See Dead People (Maybe)

    I spent most of a rainy morning practicing my newest ghost tour route down in Lower Manhattan.  The rain really made the experience, I gotta tell ya.  Nothing like getting your route map and notes soggy while you bump through streets crowded with tourists! But, I wouldn’t do anything differently.  I already can’t wait to…

  • On Selfies

    On Selfies

    I’m going to put this out there with zero judgement, and only love:  I think I might hate self-portraits. Please don’t immediately click the “Unfollow” button!  I’m not condemning anyone for their self-portraits.  You guys, you professional photographers, you have amazing photo skills.  You do your hair and your makeup and put on pretty clothes,…

  • Think Pink

    Think Pink

    I have already come out of the My Little Pony closet, but today I reach a little further in to bring out something a bit embarassing – the love I have for Pinkie Pie. Look at them crazy eyes.  That there’s True Love. If you’re familiar with the show, you’ll understand when I say that…

  • Fighting Illness

    Fighting Illness

    Source: google.es via Dina on Pinterest You know all my bragging about never getting sick?  Well, hubris is a bitch.  Because I got sick.  And when I got sick, I became a self-indulgent baby. First of all, classic Doctor Who is available on Netflix (see above)!  If Tom Baker can fight the Wirrn with panache…

  • My First Kiss

    My First Kiss

      Since it’s February, blah blah blah Valentine’s Day, blah blah blah getting mushy all over the blogiverse, I thought it was only appropriate to share this memory during this month The year is 2002.  I am a flat-chested, acne-ridden, brace-faced senior in high school.  So basically, not much has changed in 11 years, except…

  • For the Love of Daleks

    For the Love of Daleks

    February is the month of love.  What better way to spread love than to showcase some of the things I love?  And what better “thing I love” to start with than something that has no emotion… DALEKS. In case you can’t tell, I love me some Daleks.  What?  Why?  I love their tinny, screeching voices. …
