Halloween Conundrum
With Halloween fast approaching and me not able to decide just what super nerdy character I should dress up as this year I thought to myself, “Hey! You have a blog! Let’s crowd source this sucker and get some help!” (And yes, in my head I’m yelling at myself….!!!!!) Here are a few of the outfits…

RED: Really Excited Dork
Actually, it stands for Retired, Extremely Dangerous and if this movie proves anything, it’s that they don’t make them like they used to. I say this for two reasons. There is the obvious one: the movie revolves around older and much more experienced agents battling it out against younger, less experienced agents. And the less…

X-Men Series II = greatest trading cards ever

Red shirt, blue shirt, gold shirt, no shirt
Now there’s a Dr. Suess book I could get behind. Poor, poor redshirts. They never stand a chance. If I was a gal going in to Starfleet Academy in the year 2267, I would request a job that required a blue or gold uniform. Why were the redshirts always the first to go? I could…

Twitards Unite
A couple of years ago I got into a LiveJournal argument with a fellow poster’s friend (arguing online is the BEST) about whether or not Bella was just another sullen teenager and Edward was an abusive boyfriend. She claimed Stephenie Meyer’s writing was bad for teenage girls because it is sexist, that Bella and Edward…

Icheb the Borg Boy asked me out…
And then never called me. It was 06 APR 2002 at the Star Trek Convention in San Francisco. I was attending with an ex-sort-of-boyfriend and fellow nerd. Even though I have been an avid Star Trek fan since birth, this was my very first convention and I was uber excited. I found my way…

Malcolm Reynolds…shiny…
Malcolm Reynolds… Even the name is sexy. I’m a Star Trek fan, I know a sexy Captain when I see one. As much as I heart Jean-Luc and his perfect bald head, he’s not exactly a “bad boy” and y’all know we girls love us a bad boy. Mal is someone you can love and…
