Do you have that friend? Of course you do. That friend who can only ever talk about their boyfriend/girlfriend to the utter and complete exclusion of absolutely everything else? In Hush, that friend is Batman. Oh don’t give me “spoiler face,” this shit happens in like the first ten pages. Get over yourself. Which is…

FEELING: What a change from last month! Suddenly I feel inspired and accomplished. My plan to do a ton of little creative projects has meant I’m now having more and better ideas. I feel like I’m back to my creative self. WATCHING: Now that I’ve finished Attack on Titan, I’m loving Sailor Moon on Hulu!…
Attack on Titan
Fair warning: DO NOT start watching Attack on Titan if you have anything important happening in the next 24 hours. Because that shit is just not going to happen. Now I finally understand why NYCC ’13 was overrun by cosplayers in white leggings with electrical tape detail and brown leather jackets. It’s because Attack on…
According to Instagram…
The sweet-and-beautiful-online-and-in-real-life Eeka at Live.Love.Random recently did a post called “According to Instagram” about the telling nature of her Instagram feed. And I vowed to steal that idea. Fair warning, I left a comment! And it turns out, my Instagram feed pretty much paints an accurate picture of who I am: ACCORDING TO INSTAGRAM: …
Fake Geeks on the Internet
First, they came for the Fake Geek Girls. A crazy uproar on the internet about girls “pretending” to like “geeky things” “for the attention.” So many air-quotes, I may have accidentally rerouted planes from JFK. And that’s because I have so many ragey feelings on the matter that I can’t keep my fingers still. Then,…
Play With Your Food: “Cosmos” Edition
For the past eight weeks, Sunday night has meant rush home from work to watch Neil deGrasse Tyson host the new run of Cosmos on Fox! Last week, I got out of work an hour early and my boyfriend suggested that we make a Cosmos-themed dinner. Television and food puns? I can get down with…
Batman: The Black Mirror
You guys you guys you guys! This has been MY FAVOURITE Batman arc yet! Several things make it very unique: SPOILERS AHEAD! 1. Dick Grayson is Batman (not your usual Bruce Wayne) 2. There are several narrators: Dick, Commissioner Gordon, even Harvey Bullock (for a couple of pages) 3. The story covers a few different…
If My Blog Was An Outfit
This meme has been floating around the bloggyverse, thanks to Ange’s linkup at Hairspray and High Heels! You know I can’t resist a linkup, guys, even if my outfit for my blog is probably something really mundane like the clothes I wore to Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash out in Red Bank, NJ: So…
Batman: Death of the Family
AAAAHHHHH the infamous Batman: Death of the Family !!! As you can see from the cover of this hardbound collection, this is one intense and disgusting ride. It has a dust-cover of a mask of the Joker’s face, covering the actual cover revealing all the viscera because, in case you didn’t know, the Joker has…

FEELING: Completely DONE with winter! The weather has been gross for what seems like an eternity. Remember summer? Remember not squishing yourself into layers upon layers of clothing and still freezing? SO. DONE. WATCHING: Is anyone else out there TOTALLY ADDICTED to House of Cards? It’s so slow-moving and subtle but really compelling. If you…
Things I Love Thursday: Jack Kirby
If I asked you to name three famous superheroes off the top of your head… Chances are, none of those would be Jack Kirby creations. But, if I asked you to name three more, and three more, and three more…we could go on and on naming the famous faces Jack Kirby has added to the…
Things I Love Thursday: Robots vs. Unicorns
So I realized I haven’t done a “Things I Love Thursday” post in quite a while and immediately I knew what I had to write about: unicorns. Is there anything more sweet and girly besides unicorns? Um, probably. But while most of that junk makes me want to yak, unicorns just always make me happy! …
