Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – OH MY!
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a nerd in possession of an illness must go on a Jane Austen bender. At least it does for this nerd. For someone who fancies themselves a writer (or an aspiring one at least) I don’t write nearly enough about books. Which is strange considering the rate in…

100th HNG POST!! “Ask a Nerd Girl”
Wow. This is my 100th blog post. It kinda crept up on me. I wasn’t sure what to do to mark this momentous (for me, at least) occasion. Then I thought, hey! I’ll make it about the fans! They can ask whatever questions they want and I’ll give them advice or whatever. People are always…

A collection of random thoughts about A Song of Ice and Fire
I finally finished reading Book 5 of the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin (which took me an abnormally long time compared to books 1-4). As I read and finished each book in the series I wrote down my thoughts. Sometimes they are snippets, sometimes they are discussions I’m having with…

Daredevil Podcast (World’s Best Podcast)
About a month ago I got an email from Isaac over at World’s Best Podcast asking me if I’d like to participate in the occasional podcast session. I’ve never done a podcast before so I said I would be delighted! After a meet and greet via Skype it was decided that my first guest appearance…

7 Guys Worth Nerdgasaming Over
My sister-in-law and I were at WonderCon on Friday and somehow we got on the topic of “Cheat Sheets.” And no, I’m not talking about the school variety. The “Cheat Sheet” I’m referring to is a list of people you’re allowed to get it on with and your significant other can’t hold it against you. …

WonderCon 2012
The first time I went to WonderCon was way back in 2002 while I was in college in San Francisco. I was the only girl in the group and was rocking my Batman Underoos and a very ill-fitting SFSU sweatshirt. Since moving to Southern California I wasn’t sure I’d ever go to a WonderCon again…

My Star Wars Leap Day Night Thing at Disneyland
At first I didn’t that think our little Leap Day trip to Disneyland was nerdy enough to write about. Then I thought about the fact that I stayed up all night for a history-making 24 hour Disney marathon and I realized that this is about as nerdy as it gets. Our little group chose a…
