In honor of Mother’s Day (probably?) let’s dish on favourite moms! Kinda weird, but okay… 1. Joyce Summers was the coolest of the cool teenage vampire slayers’ moms. Sure, Buffy and her’s relationship wasn’t always perfect, but she stuck up for her daughter and was pretty badass in her own right – esp. with Giles…

5 Fandom Friday: Comfort Films
I am so excited for this week because as soon as I saw the prompt, I knew exactly which films I was going to write about. So does this mean “comfort films” are a thing? Because I definitely have some movies I’ve watched over and over again to the point of madness: 1. Earth Girls…
5 Fandom Friday: FBFF’s
Like, if these people actually existed, we’d totally be best friends in real life because how could we not? 1. & 2. Willow & Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer are the coolest people in the whole of the world forever and ever amen. If you don’t get along with these two, you’re probably deficient…
5 Fandom Friday: I Shall Name You…
This was a fun prompt to think about! There are so many awesome names out there that I had a hard time culling the list down to just five! I can’t wait to see everyone else’s answers! I got a little fancy and picked two people-names, an animal name, a wireless network name (the most…
5 Fandom Friday: Funko POP!
I can only imagine collecting Funko POP! figures would be a very, very slippery slope for me. For one thing, I have very limited storage-display space in my home. For another thing, they’re all so cute! This year, they’re rolling out figures of some of my favourite fandoms and I just can’t take the plunge…
5 Fandom Friday: Christmas Movies
1. A Charlie Brown Christmas you knew I was gonna bust this one out right out of the gate. My Snoopy love is well-known and this has all the elements: Charlie Brown feeling bad for himself, Lucy charging five cents for Psychiatric Help, Snoopy mackin’ on the ladies…and the most quotable line of all, “It…
Enh, What’s Up, Diane? Ice Cream
ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION: it has recently come to my attention that Diane Keaton, aka TheGreatestStarOfAll, likes to dip carrots in peanut butter.Class, can we think of anyone else who does this? OH WAIT. ME. That’s right. And while I may cringe at the thought of carrots in ice cream, peanut butter on ice cream is…
5 Fandom Friday: Halloween Movies
Time again for more 5 Fandom Friday with The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick! This week’s topic is Halloween movies you must see – which is hard because I don’t really have many! I could only think of three that I *MUST* see every year: 1. It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! OH MY GOD, I…
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…
Jurassic Park
I picked up Jurassic Park in the beginning of the summer, expecting it to be a fast-paced, quick summer read. Your typical “beach/airplane” book. I carried it with me all over town and perhaps the most amusing anecdote I can tell you is that when I was reading it in Chelsea Market, a guy who…
“Net” Your Average Love Story
Has anyone noticed that Netflix seems…a little different these days? That all of our standby romantic comedies of the Meg Ryan ouevre are suddenly missing? With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, what are we supposed to watch, swaddled in flannel and spooning Ben & Jerry’s listlessly into our kissless lips? Here are some suggestions…
Not For Typical Girls
If you have an hour and a half to kill watching some amazing rock and roll documentary, may I suggest this one? Last year, it seemed as though punk was all the rage, with the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit at the Met, and all the imitators. What I love about punk is that it…
