The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling!

Ugh.  I’m home sick today.  No bueno. I took the day off from work and was going to take the day off from blogging (especially since no nerdy movies came out this past weekend) but after catching up on Falling Skies and being asked my thoughts about it…well…it seems I just can’t quit you.  Not… Continue reading The Sky is Falling!

Super 8 + DBox = DBest movie experience ever

So I’ll admit it.  When I first heard that there was going to be an… Continue reading X-Men: First Class – you got it wrong but I heart you anyways

There seems to be some confusion about what constitutes a nerd, a geek, or a dork.  I weighed this very carefully when deciding what to name this blog (that I was convinced no one but my Mom would ever read).  I very nearly called this whole venture “Hot Geek Girl” but after several discussions with… Continue reading Nerd vs. Geek vs. Dork
